Study Notes
Retirement of Railway Servants
- Railway servants retire on the afternoon of the last day of the month they turn 60, unless otherwise specified.
- Birthdays on the first of the month result in retirement on the last day of the prior month.
- Servants who reached 58 by May 1, 1998, and were on extension retire at the end of their extension.
- Retirement dates are determined based on birth dates recorded in Rule 225, and associated administrative guidelines.
- Extension of service beyond 60 years is not permitted.
- Suspended employees can be retained in service beyond their retirement date by competent authority. Their retirement benefits are then put on hold until further notice.
- Employees generally retire on their scheduled superannuation date, unless other orders are given.
- Overstaying the retirement date is considered irregular.
- Payment and allowances made during overstay periods are recoverable.
Railway Board Orders
- Determining whether to retain or retire a suspended employee is based on the specific case.
- Retirement benefit schemes differ. Pension scheme employees will likely be retired on their due date.
- Non-pension scheme employees require specific decision based on unique factors in each case.
- Dismissal likelihood is a significant factor in deciding retention past retirement.
- Procedures for dealing with dismissal charges should be expeditious.
- Government contributions to provident funds may be adjusted for liabilities established in proceedings against employees.
- Employee considerations: subsistence allowance, full pay + allowances if charges are dropped.
Retirement by Notice
- Appointing authority has the right to retire certain members with a minimum three-month written notice or payment in lieu of notice.
- Retirement is allowed if in Group 'A' or 'B' service, with prior service before 35 and age 50, or in other situations after age 55.
- Retirement is allowed after age 50 in Group A or B service if prior service commenced before age of 35.
- Retirement is allowed after age 55 in other situations.
- Authority can deny suspension-related retirement permission.
- Employees can request shorter notice periods.
- Shorter notice period approval is dependent on minimal administrative impact and the condition the employee does not request early pension.
- Thirty years service with pension rights qualifies an employee for retirement after notice.
- Suspensions are compatible with retirement notice requirements. Retirement-related notice period factors include factors such as, whether the person is under suspension.
- Retirement after completion of 30 years of pension-eligible service is possible with specific notice rules.
- Notice period curtailment can be approved by the authority based on merit, with the condition that the employee does not use the requested shorter notice to seek pension commutation.
- Retirement by notice is allowed based on other criteria for Group C service employees not under pensions schemes after 30 years.
Other Retirement Considerations
- Reinstatement after premature retirement is possible. Intervening period can be treated as duty leave/ordinary leave/extra-ordinary leave.
- If premature retirement is not justified or court order reverses it, the intervening period is considered duty-based with pay/allowance.
- If court orders regulate the intervening period of reinstated service, the court's instructions are followed.
- 'Appropriate authority' is the entity that has the power to assign positions.
- 'Appointing authority' is the entity that has the power to make initial employee appointments.
- Notice periods are calculated excluding the notice date and expiry date.
- Employees who gave notice of retirement cannot withdraw their applications, except with specific authority permission, and only before the intended retirement date.
Automatic Retirement and Orders
- Retirement is automatic for specified ages or service completion. Separate orders are not usually required.
- If no special orders exist, the employee is expected to retire on the due date, and administration is responsible for ensuring process readiness.
- Government employees should not delay retirement, as this demonstrates an attempt to obtain an extension.
- Employees should inform senior officers about imminent retirement, to prevent complications.
- If retirement occurs on a holiday, relinquishment of charge is performed on the previous business day.
Additional Instructions and Clarifications
- Personnel rules apply across different positions.
- Clarification regarding notice, retirement, and suspension details.
