Increase in the retirement age for Andhra Pradesh State Government employees from 60 to 62 years

Increase in the retirement age for Andhra Pradesh State Government employees from 60 years to 62 years is a welcome move.

It helps the government in utilising the skills of the experienced employees for two additional years while reducing the burden on the Pension outgo. This decision is fiscally responsible.

This decision also goes inline with the increasing life expectancy of the employees.
