Earlier the word ‘Pension’ had been held to mean a periodical allowance or stipend granted to a retired Govt. servant on account of his satisfactory services rendered to the state. Subsequently, in the orders passed by the Hon’ble Apex Court of the country against numbers of cases, the pension is declared as “Right” and “Property” of the govt. servant. When the Government servant retires and/or reach a certain age, he or she can access their superannuation benefits as a lump sum or as a superannuation pension. A superannuation pension is now granted to a Government servant who retires on his attaining the age of 60 years. Any Government servant can apply for voluntary retirement, three months in advance, only after the completion of twenty years of his qualifying service or 50 years of age whichever is earlier, provided there is no vigilance or Departmental Enquiry pending /initiated against him/her.

2. From 01/01/05 onward it raises to 59 years.
3. From 30/11/07 it again raises to 60 years.
