New Delhi: The government on Friday said it has no proposals to shift to six-day week working for its offices or reduce the retirement age of employees to 58 years.
"At present, there is no proposal to change working days for the
Central government offices from five to six days a week or to reduce the
retirement age of the Central government employees to 58 years," Finance
Minister Arun Jaitley said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.
At present, the retirement age of the Central government employees is
60 years.
The Minister also said that the Seventh Central Pay Commission
appointed in February 2014 is required to make its recommendations within 18
months from the date of its constitution.
Former Supreme Court Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur is the Chairman of the
Commission.
The government constitutes Pay Commission almost every ten years to
revise the pay scales of its employees and often these are adopted by states
after some modification.
The Sixth Pay Commission was implemented with effect from January 1,
2006
