New Delhi: The government on
Friday said it has no proposals to shift to six-day week working
for its offices or reduce the retirement age of
employees to 58 years.
"At present, there is no proposal to
change working days for the Central government offices from five to six days a
week or to reduce the retirement age of the Central government employees to 58
years," Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in a written reply to the Lok
Sabha.
At present, the retirement age of the Central
government employees is 60 years.
The Minister also said that the Seventh
Central Pay Commission appointed in February 2014 is required to make its
recommendations within 18 months from the date of its constitution.
Former Supreme Court Justice Ashok Kumar
Mathur is the Chairman of the Commission.
The government constitutes Pay Commission
almost every ten years to revise the pay scales of its employees and often
these are adopted by states after some modification.
The Sixth Pay Commission was implemented with
effect from January 1, 2006
