Retirement age in news once again

Now a day I am hearing rumors that 7th CPC may recommend for reduce in age of retirement of CG Employees in two criteria. The retirement age as the completion of 33 years of service, or at the age of 60, whichever comes first.

This criterion looks unfair to me. Because if there one intelligent and capable employee joins the service at age of 21 and another less capable person joins the service at age of 27 because it took him 6 years more to reach to knowledge level required for service. Then both people will be allowed to serve for 33 years and it will kill merit. The intelligent and hardworking people will on disadvantage and dumb people will be having an edge over intelligent and competent people.

People are saying that why should government pay salary to one person more than 33 years. I would like to say that salary is being paid in return of service employee is rendering and not a favor. If we retire people at young age then our pension expenditure will increase. If we want to increase opportunities for young people then we can reduce retirement age from 60 to 58 years which will put incompetent staff on disadvantage and not put competent and hardworking staff on disadvantage.

  1. I agree with your thought, as it will kill merit and all the younger generation may prefer to start government job late and will tend to spend their earlier years in hooliganism or anti social activities which could cause damage to the society
