7th pay commission Vs Retirement Age
Does it worth to believe the news circulated in social media about 7th 
pay commission recommendation and retirement age..? We asked the 
Federation sources about this and they want to maintain anonymity told 
that it depends upon the individuals to decide whether it is true or 
not. We should not blame the media for everything. We should be able to 
know the difference between the news and rumors.
One of our Sources told that revising the retirement age will not fall 
under the purview of Pay commission. It should be decided by central 
government only. No Pay commission has recommended anything about 
Retirement age so far.
Federation Leaders were asked about this retirement age issue, when it 
became sensational in Print and e-Media, why don’t they come forward to 
clear the doubts on this sensational issue?. They told that they didn’t 
want do give importance to the rumors and hear says.
They said, “We need to clarify the doubts of our cadres across the 
country whenever it was rumored in social media about their service 
related sensational issues. But when sensational becomes routine, it’s 
not our business to respond to such hearsays on daily basis”
“As far as retirement age is concerned we know that 7th pay commission 
cannot recommend revising the retirement age of central government 
employees, since it does not fall under the purview of 7th Pay 
Commission. Even we won’t accept it if the central government tries to 
reduce the retirement age,” the sources added.
