COMPULSORY RETIREMENT AFTER 30 YEARS OF SERVICE/ON REACHING 50 YEARS OF AGE?VIEWS OF EMPLOYEES
Recently, the DOPT released an announcement which has created panic and commotion among the central government employees.
In the announcement it has been said that senior officials have to analyse the service record and decide whether employees who have completed thirty years of service or reached their 50th year should continue their service or be advised to leave service after three months notice.
Does it take a management to learn that an official or an employee is unfit to continue in service when he has reached his 50th year? Does it take thirty years of continuous service to assess the efficiency of an employee?
Can’t the ability of an employee be learnt during his probation period? Leaving an employee at such times and trying to force him out of service when he is old appears rather inhumane.
When problems like educations expenses of children, marriage and housing loan afflict employees, the announcement of compulsory retirement will certainly be a great shock.
Hence, Central Government should provide an explanation about the announcement and help clear the doubts of the central Government Employees. Changes have to be made at the beginning itself. If the Central Government brings changes at a very late period then the purpose for which it released this very announcement would become futile and ineffective. On the contrary, it will only lead to a loss of trust that employees have on the Central Government.

M Dutta says
This Govt. is trying to smash all the Central Govt. employees at just the age of 51 or 52 years. Think about this age, which is crucial for all the Employee for their Child future and also their marriage. After that they think about their settlement. Central Govt. employees always draw Salary much less than Private Sectors. It is too hard for them to save money for their future from this salary. Other Govt. like West Bengal Govt.or Delhi Govt. tries to increase Retirement age to 62 or 65 years. WB Govt is also giving another 5 years of employment on Contractual basis to their employees after retirement of 60 years of age.
What about Central Govt. think about their employees! Govt. must ensure security to all their employees.
