Government doctors can work till 70
India can take a vital step towards the well-being of its citizens by increasing the retirement age of doctors employed in the services of the Central and state governments.
After an increased adhoc bonus, civic volunteers will now be entitled to get an increased “terminal benefit” amounting to Rs 5 lakh following retirement at the age of 60 years.
Earlier, the amount of the terminal benefit meant for the civic volunteers was Rs 3 lakh. The decision taken by the government would be effective from next April.
The state home department today, in a notification added a rider in the form of eligibility check saying that the increased amount of terminal benefit would only be given to a civic volunteer after having their eligibility checked.
