Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
| Question | Detailed Answer |
|---|---|
| How is the retirement date calculated for a government employee? | Under the standard rule (Fundamental Rule 56), a government servant retires in the afternoon of the last day of the month in which he or she completes the age of superannuation, 58 or 60 years. The tool adds your superannuation age to your date of birth and moves to the last day of that month, using the exact number of days in every month and leap years. |
| Why does an employee born on the 1st of a month retire on the last day of the previous month? | As per the proviso to the standard rule, a government servant whose date of birth is the 1st of a month retires in the afternoon of the last day of the preceding month. The tool applies this automatically and shows which rule was used for your date of birth. |
| What if the last day of the month is a Sunday or a holiday? | The retirement date remains the last day of the month and the tool shows its weekday so that you can plan your last working day and farewell. Please check your department's orders if the date falls on a holiday. |
| How are the days left in service counted? | The tool counts the calendar days from today up to your retirement date. It also shows the time left in years, months and days, and an approximate count of working days (Monday to Friday) that does not remove gazetted or local holidays. |
| Is the date shown by this tool official? | No. It is an indicative date based on the standard rule and the date of birth you enter. Your service book, appointment letter and the orders of your department or state government are final. Some services, states and organisations follow a different superannuation age, so please confirm with your office. |
| Is my personal date of birth stored on your servers? | No. Your date of birth is never stored on our servers. Every calculation runs 100% client-side inside your own browser using JavaScript, nothing is sent over the network, there is zero logging and absolute privacy. The date in the shareable link only appears in your address bar and is shared only if you choose to share that link. |
