Retirement age of TN govt employees enhanced to 60 yrs

The Tamil Nadu government on Thursday enhanced the retirement age of its employees, including teachers and PSU staff, to 60 years.

Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami who raised the retirement age of government employees by a year, made an announcement in the assembly under rule 110 that the increase will apply to all serving government employees including government and aided educational institutions, PSUs and local bodies, and those who retire on May 31, 2021.
