New Delhi: A news is going viral on social media claiming that the Government of India has decided to increase the retirement age of central employees by 2 years from 60 to 62.
The viral message says that the Union Cabinet has approved an increase in the retirement age of central government employees to 62 effective from 1 April 2025. The fake viral message also lists out couple of reasons — high life expectancy, requirement for experienced hands, reduction of pension liability and systematic reform –for the cabinet decision to increase the retirement age.
Busting the fake message, PIB Fact Check has said that the above claim is fake, adding that the government has not taken any decision. PIB Fact Check has also advised people to not fall prey to such fake messages.
