Retirement age

I think it is 58.

yes....no amendments to this effect has been made in this regard & this is 58 yrs.

You are right that there is no age of retirement exists at present in Model Standing Orders. The provisions of retirement age were inserted in the Model Standing order in eighties or nineties but subsequently this was repealed. Normally the industries have their own standing orders which prescribe age of superannuation. If the industry does not have its own standing orders model standing orders prevails and since Model standing order contains no provision regarding retirement age, earlier the employee had a right  to continue in the employment till his death or resignation, However, his services could have been terminated after complying the conditions precedent to retrenchment as laid down in section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act   but recently the Apex Court has held that an employee has no right to continue in the employment after 60 years.

Dear Tripathi ji,

In Model Standing Order  under Sec.3 says that the age of retairment is 58. If the Works Commettee is decided to enhance the age will be applicable where there is no certified standing orders. If that the commettee is also not there shall we continu to follow the Model Standing Orders ?

Model Standing Orders are  issued by the respective State Government, I don't know you are talking about smodel standing orders of which State. If thereexist ant suchprovisions of ModelStang Orders of your State the provision regarding  such model standing order shall apply,in case, there exist no certified standing orders of that perticular industry or no works commettee exist.

Sorry , Mr. Kumar,  at present I am not having the copy of the said goverment order but I will try to arrenge the same within few daysf.

dear sir,

     In the above discussion it is stated,  in private organisation retirement age is 58. what is the significance of this in private organisation, does that mean private organisation can not set retirement age below this age or if any priavte organisation set retirement age as 50, anything wrong or illegal in it.

Work committee is internal matter of organisation. Retirement as will be as per approved standing order (58 or less) and if there is no standing order than it will be 58 yrs as per model standing order
