MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES AND PENSIONS AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE (DR. JITENDRA SINGH)

(i) If he is, in Group ‘A’ or Group ‘B’ service or post in a substantive, quasi-permanent or temporary capacity and had entered Government service before attaining the age of 35 years, after he has attained the age of 50 years;
(ii) In any other case after he has attained the age of 55 years.
(b) & (c): Does not arise.

SIVARAMA PRASAD says
55 YEARS ARE ENOUGH FOR ANY CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OFFICE, AND STATE GOVERNMENT OFFICES.
SO, THAT UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM WILL BE SLOVED FOR ANY RULLING GOVERNMENT AT CENTER.

I agree with Sivarama Prasad. Government should strictly make the rule to retire at the age of 55 and give the jobs for freshers. No extension should be given for employees or any other form of employment after retirement.

Where is my fault, I got job at Central government institution at the game of 41. I am a general category women. Department took 6 years to contact exam for my post . For your kind information some subjects have limited scopes and there are very limited vacancies available in those fields. If I will retire at 55 . Then what is the fun to do the job. So the criteria of the retirement should not be the age.
But the total years of job. Government should limit the years. Such as not more than 30, 33 or 35 years. Person who completed 30 years in job should be given retirement
Pramhans Kumar says
I agree with you. Retirement age should be 58 years for all so that the problem of unemployment maybe solved.

Sub: Regarding Promotion of MTS Staff (SUB STAFF) in KVS –
Sir,
It is our request that the promotion of sub staff are given less it should be 50% at least . Second thing is that after having a qualified staff in KVS why the promotions are not given to the sub staff. Even the promotions are given it for retirement age for 3/4 month . If the promotion is not accepted than also for next time his name will be entered for promotion list. So it is very difficult to get promotion to junior staff .after having service of 25/30 years.So some solution should be there.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(VINOD S REDKAR)
