New Delhi, November 16
Putting an end to speculation that the retirement age of Central government employees will be raised, the Centre has made it clear that it has no plans to raise the age for superannuation.
“No, there is no such plan. There is no thinking at all. The status quo will continue,” Cabinet secretary K.M. Chandrasekhar told PTI when asked whether there is any move in this regard.
Currently, the retirement age of Central government employees is 60 years. Chandrasekhar said there had been rumours that it would be raised but it was nothing but a “wishful thinking”.
“I tried to find out. But there is no file in the Department of Expenditure, no file in the Department of Personnel and Training. There is nothing. It is more of a wishful thinking,” he said in an interview.
