New Delhi: There is no proposal to either
raise or reduce the retirement age of central government employees from the
present 60 years, Lok Sabha was informed Wednesday.
"No, madam," Minister of State in
the Prime Minister's Office Jitendra Singh said in his reply to a question on
whether government proposes to increase the retirement age of central
government employees.
His reply was the same to another part of the
question on whether there is a proposal to fix the retirement age at 58 years.
In the run up to the Delhi assembly polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on
two occasions scoffed at suggestions that his government planned to reduce the
retirement age.
