Thiruvananthapuram: At the end of this month, 10,207 employees will retire from various government departments. The figures are based on employees’ retirement dates from SPARC, a payroll software. The salaries of the Secretariat staff and the employees of various Government Departments are based on the information provided by SPARC.
Institutions other than the Water Authority in the public sector are not affiliated with SPARC. Of the universities, only CUSAT is affiliated with Spark. Steps have been taken to connect other universities.

Officials said it would only provide information on officials who have registered their retirement dates with Spark. Some of the employees do not record their retirement date in Spark. Provide information only when applying for a pension. So there will be a small difference in the current figure. Employees will be able to provide this information to Spark even after retirement, officials said.
A total of 1,12,010 people will retire from service in the next five years. This is stated in the report of the 11th Pay Commission chaired by K. Mohandas IAS.
