Hi Everyone,
I would like to know retirement age is to consider 58years or 60years? As per my knowledge according to Telangana Shops & Establishment is 60years. But some companies following 58years. Is there any specific law to consider 58years or is it okay as per statutory also?
What is the retirement age followed in IT companies?
Please provide me your inputs which will be helpful to me a lot.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Hey @SOWJANYA1 .
In India, the retirement age in IT is between 58 and 60 years in the private sector. For central government employees, it is 60 years. Based upon further company policies one year can be picked.
Hope that helps.

Thank you Mr.Kaulin!
So we can choose 58 or 60, on company’s discretion right?

Hi,
What if the employee decided to continue working despite being 60 - are there any additional statutory compliance the employer needs to fulfill?
Hi Ludy,
If company requires his/her services after retirement procedure, you can hire them as a Consultant subject to TDS deductions only as applicable.

Hello,
So can he already stop to contribute with PF also?
Hey @Ludy ,
If an employee completes his or her 60 years then he or she can’t be on payroll, means there would not be any deduction like PF & ESI. They can be work in the company on contract basis only & for the contractual employees, there is no any deduction like PF & ESI.
Hope this helps.
