Dear Sir,
Sub: Proposed change in the policy of retirement on superannuation of
Central Government employees on completion of 33 years service or 60 years
of age whichever is earlier-reg.
Central Government employees on completion of 33 years service or 60 years
of age whichever is earlier-reg.
Through several sources, the information is being circulated that the Government
has been considering revision of the extant policy on retirement and bringing
new rules with stipulation that those Central Government employees who have
put in 33 years service or attained the age of 60 years, whichever is earlier,
shall retire on superannuation.According to the sources it is learnt that the
DoP&T has sent proposal to MoF for consideration for the purpose of bringing
new rule from 01/04/2020.

Since the proposal of the DoP&T is likely to affect existing Central Government
employees, therefore, consultations are required to be ensured with the JCM/Staff
Side as the service condition of the existing staff may get affected. NFIR, therefore,
requests the Cabinet Secretary to kindly see that consultations are made with the
JCM/Staff Sideon the said proposal early. According to the JCM Rules, consultations
are must on all such vital matters, therefore arbitrary decision should not be taken
in the interest to maintain healthy industrial relations.
