Retirement Age 62 – Cabinet decision to increase retirement age deferred
Cabinet decision to increase retirement age deferred
The government may make the announcement in the Prime Minister’s 15 August address…
A proposal to increase the retirement age of government employees from 60 to 62 years came to the Cabinet on Thursday but a decision was deferred. The government might make the announcement in the Prime Minister’s Independence Day address, his last before general elections in 2014. The ministry of personnel, public grievances and pensions has proposed an increase in retirement age of government employees from 60 to 62 years, top sources confirmed.
There are around five million central government employees in India. The previous occassion the government raised the retirement age of central government employees was in 1998, from 58 to 60 years. The move is meant to ease the financial burden on the government in terms of its pension liabilities, sources said.
The retirement age of professors in all central universities was recently raised to 65 years. D L Sachdev, national secretary of the All India Trade Union Congress, said his union was totally against the increase of the retirement age beyond 60. It would hurt the youth, especially when the government is doing nothing to create jobs for them, Sachdev said.
Congress-affiliated Indian National Trade Union Congress national president Sanjeeva Reddy said his union had been demanding increase in the retirement age to 62 years and would welcome it.
Minister for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions V Narayanaswami had ruled out an increase in the retirement age to a question in Parliament in the winter session this year. An official in the ministry, when asked, refused to speak about it.

Planning Commission objects to Government funding for India Post Bank
The DoP has moved a Cabinet note
for the government to provide Rs 500 crore as initial capital to India Post
towards starting a bank. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)’s norms
for applying for a new banking licence, an entity needs paid-up capital of at
least Rs 500 crore.
Officials said the commission felt
providing the Rs 500 crore needed as initial paid-up capital for launching the
bank might not be feasible, owing to the tight fiscal conditions. “Though in
principle, the commission does support the proposal, the current weak financial
conditions are acting as a hindrance,” said a senior official.
Overall, the department needs about Rs 1,900 crore to run full-fledged banking operations. Financial help from the government is required, as India Post recorded a deficit of Rs 5,806 crore in 2011-12, 8.5 per cent lower than the Rs 7,899-crore deficit the previous year. An official said India Post planned to start banking operations across 50 branches. However, a section within the Planning Commission felt converting a part of post offices into full-fledged banks would hamper the core functioning of these entities, another official said. For the government, India Post’s banking operations would be beneficial in expanding the ambit of its ambitious Direct Benefits Transfer (DBT) programme. This is because there are about 1,50,000 post offices across the country, much higher than the number of all public sector bank branches combined. The banking correspondent model, as envisaged in DBT, would be accounted for by postmen. For every new deposit, a postman would get an additional commission of 0.07 per cent.The official said moves were also afoot to link all post office branches with core banking solutions. To launch banking operations, India Post would have to restructure its shareholding, as according to RBI norms, promoter companies of entities seeking to set up banks should have at least 51 per cent public shareholding. Currently, India Post is wholly owned by the Union government.
A few years ago, India Post’s proposal to start banking operations was opposed by the finance ministry, as the DoP didn’t have expertise in areas such as handling credit.
The DoP has a few savings instruments such as the post office savings scheme, as well as a life insurance scheme — Postal Life Insurance. It also acts as a distributor for mutual fund companies.
