A government committee has rejected a proposal to increase the retirement age of government servants from 60 to 62. The decision is likely to impact over one lakh central government employees and 50,000 defence personnel on the verge of retirement. The proposal — which could have meant saving Rs4,000 crore in this fiscal — was rejected as the government wants a younger bureaucracy.
(Though the number mentioned above is too small comparing to the total strength of the Govt. employees, it may be assumed that the hike was proposed only for a certain section of employees, possibly the Direct Recruited Class I officers.)

Very good decision taken by the govt not to increase retirement age from 60 to 62. First thing unemployment youths who are well qualified with excellent caliber can join govt jobs and will bring India on top i dont mean that present staff is not good they are better but looking to the age factor ca a person work that hard at the age of 58 and above 60 years is a correct age for retirement by that time his commitments are over for family.Good thing for youths not extending retirement age.
