Make retirement age 60 yrs or 33 yrs of service which comes later (not earlier).

It will take care of brilliant people (who cracked civil services at the age of 22) or who get jobs after several round of litigation/cancellation of advertisements etc. With average age of marriage reaching to around 30 yrs, this formula will enable one to raise his family and will be able to see his kids settled before his/her retirement. It will not affect the opportunities for younger generation also because intake in different organisations is likely to follow same pattern as of today.

Welfare of pensioners ?

If the Govt is seriously interested in the welfare of the pensioners, they must have either separate CGHS Wellness Centres for the Pensioners or alternatively negotiate with the empanelled private hospitals to provide OPD treatment, issue medicines etc. The Wellness Centres are so crowded that the Senior citizens are put to unimaginable & unbearable inconvenience, queuing up for Registration, meeting the Doctor & collecting the medicines as too many CGHS beneficiaries & family members are overcrowding these Wellness Centres.

IAS unlikely to be ED, IMF

No IAS officer has the stature to succeed Subir Gokarn who was a solid Economist with internationally acclaimed credentials. Generalists cant come up to Specialists.

Retirement age
It seems Govt is planning to give the retirement benefits in 3 to 4 installments.

15 IRS-IT officers get compulsorily retirement
Very surprising why none was sent home u/s 56J from IAS; IAS; Railways and other Central and AIS etc
