tamil nadu govt staffs: Such a shock to government employees: Tamil Nadu government plan! – tn govt planned to change govt staff retirement age

Highlights:

• Retirees will not receive immediate cash benefits in the event of a financial crisis
• Order to reduce the retirement age of government employees to 58 again

The Government of Tamil Nadu has over 12 lakh civil servants, teachers, public sector employees and employees of government aided educational institutions. The retirement age for them was 58.

However, the then Chief Minister Edappadi Palanisamy announced raising the retirement age for civil servants to 59 after facing financial problems due to the Corona disaster last year. Subsequently, when the second wave intensified last February, the then Chief Minister Edappadi Palanisamy announced in the Legislature under Rule 110 that the retirement age for civil servants would be raised to 60.

In this regard, the Government has stated that this notice applies to all employees of government and government-aided educational institutions, constitutional and legal entities, government agencies, local bodies, boards, commissions, associations and all public sector entities.

The order is said to apply to all those currently in government service and to employees retiring from service on May 31, 2021. The announcement drew support and opposition from civil servants and teachers’ unions. The lawsuit against the extension of the retirement age continued.

In this context, it has been reported that the Government of Tamil Nadu is planning to reduce the retirement age of government employees. According to Kottayam sources, the DMK has decided to reduce the retirement age to 58 for government employees based on petitions received by the Chief Minister after the government took over.

The order also said that the order lowering the retirement age of government employees to 58 is likely to come into effect from January 1 next year, i.e. 1.1.2022. Perhaps thousands of people will retire immediately if this order is implemented. The question arises as to whether the pension benefits for them will be available immediately if they retire.

However, local government sources said that in the current financial crisis situation, retirees will not be given immediate cash benefits and the decision to issue a government bond in return is under consideration and may be monetized after a certain period of time.
