Recently the news about retirement age is blown out of proportion in
Social Media. In Social Media it has been signaled casually that the
retirement age will be brought down to 58 years. Initially it was said
that 7th pay commission going to recommend the criteria for retirement
age as either 33 years of Service or 60 Years of age whichever comes
first.
And gradually it is reduced to 58 years of age or 33 years of service
and finally ends up with 30 years of service or at the age of 55 years.
7th pay commission Vs Retirement Age
Does it worth to believe the news circulated in social media about 7th
pay commission recommendation and retirement age..? We asked the
Federation sources about this and they want to maintain anonymity told
that it depends upon the individuals to decide whether it is true or
not. We should not blame the media for everything. We should be able to
know the difference between the news and rumors.
One of our Sources told that revising the retirement age will not fall
under the purview of Pay commission. It should be decided by central
government only. No Pay commission has recommended anything about
Retirement age so far.
Federation Leaders were asked about this retirement age issue, when it
became sensational in Print and e-Media, why don’t they come forward to
clear the doubts on this sensational issue?. They told that they didn’t
want do give importance to the rumors and hear says.
They said, “We need to clarify the doubts of our cadres across the
country whenever it was rumored in social media about their service
related sensational issues. But when sensational becomes routine, it’s
not our business to respond to such hearsays on daily basis”
“As far as retirement age is
concerned we know that 7th pay commission cannot recommend revising the
retirement age of central government employees, since it does not fall
under the purview of 7th Pay Commission. Even we won’t accept it if the
central government tries to reduce the retirement age,” the sources added.
