VIJAYAWADA: The Ministry of Finance has published a circular note specifying that the decrees issued on January 31, 2022, raising the retirement age from 60 to 62 are only applicable to persons appointed to public services and to positions related to the affairs of the state, in addition to officials and other employees working in any local authority, whose salaries and allowances are paid out of the consolidated fund and those appointed to the secretarial staff of the chambers of the state legislature and any other officials or employee whose terms of service are governed by the rules framed by the provisions of Section 309 of the Constitution of India before the enactment of the Act, other than village officers and judicial officers, whether they are appointed before or after the entry into force of the law.
After the State Government took the decision to raise the retirement age of government employees under the Public Employment AP (Retirement Age Regulation) Act 1984, with effect on January 1, orders were then issued. The state Legislature had approved the same and an Extraordinary Gazette Notification was issued on April 19, 2022.
However, it has been brought to the attention of the government that some government PAUs, corporations, institutions, companies, societies, including educational institutions, non-teaching staff of universities, have issued orders extending the retirement age from 60 to 62 without having the necessary skills.
Such action, whenever taken, is a flagrant violation of established government procedures and company rules. Therefore, immediate corrective action should be taken without loss of time in accordance with the procedure. In addition, disciplinary action against those responsible should be initiated according to the rules, by the relevant competent authority, Special Chief Secretary (Finance) SS Rawat said while clarifying the orders issued.
