Sources told this newspaper that the Cabinet subcommittee of the Union government gave its nod for enhancing the retirement age, and orders amending the service rules are expected much before the retirement of the two officials. The Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, was keen to enhance the retirement age of bureaucrats.
Sources said that though the proposal is ready for implementation, there will be a few months’ delay because the government wants to make some specific IAS officer the new Cabinet secretary at the Centre and prefers to wait for bureaucrats senior to him to retire before it makes the announcement.

Increasing the retirement age to 62 years would be a very disastrous decision for our Country. Please note that in PSUs many senior executives have stopped executing even their day-to-day chores and duties with three years to go for their retirement. The irony here is that they draw hefty sums as salaries (after pay revision) which is totally unjustified for the work they put in. The soon-to-retire are not at all contributing to the development of this nation and are a big liability to the tax payers. In fact, a study with a sample population should be undertaken on "Efficacy of human beings after 60 years in professional work places: A behavioural psychological profile of the Geriatric populace"
In a country where politicians do not have any retirement age and can hold the office at 80+ age,why can't the normal human beings hold the office upto 62 years.
Advances in medical Science has enhanced the average age all Indians. Now they can effectively contribute upto the age of 62 years to the organizations they are serving.Moreover,Govt can tap their tap their talent and expertise for a longer period.S.K.SAHA.DURGAPUR.WB
