As per rule 71 (a) of the Odisha Service Code, a Government servant (except Group-D employees) shall retire in the afternoon of the last day of the month in which he completes the age of 58 years.

There is significant improvement in average life expectancy in recent years. The retirement age of Central Government employees has been revised to 60 years. Some State Governments have also followed the principle adopted by Government of India in enhancing the retirement age of their employees.

The relevant provisions under rule 71 of the Odisha Service Code as well as provisions in relevant rule of the OCS (Pension) Rules, 1992 in this connection, shall be deemed to have been modified to the above extent. Necessary amendments to the above rules shall be issued in due course.
