In a news article that has recently gone viral news report reveals that Government unveils Retirement Age Extension Plan to raise the retirement age by two years. This has informed that from 1st April 2025 the retirement age shall be increased from 60 years to 62 years. But how true is this claim? Let’s explore.
Is the News Genuine?
I have come across this claim many times across the various platforms as the one dealing with extension of retirement age to 62. Most employees and citizens are interested to know if the government has made such a decision, or rather it is just a hearsay. But the official policy has not been declared yet and no public statement has been issued by the government for such a policy change.
What Did the Government Say?
The government has not made any statement or released any notification that informs people of raising the retirement age to 62. It has been made clear that there can be talks about some of the policies regarding retirees and that there is no decision made or new policy announced yet.
What Should Employees Know?
Police and other employees are recommended to follow only credible media sources and avoid fake news. As of now the legal age for retirement remains 60 before there is official government notification.
It has stirred lots of discussion among government employees but at the moment the report regarding the Retirement Age Extension Plan is still under news speculation.
