Retirement Date Calculator India

Enter your birth date and choose government or private employment to get your Indian retirement date — with the 1st-of-the-month rule, state-wise verified ages, and an honest "not verified" where no official source exists.

1 Your date of birth

2 Sector

3 Which day?

How it's calculated

Your sector and state pick the age (60 for central government; the verified state age; or the age you enter). The day option picks the convention: India's 1st-of-the-month rule retires you on the last day of the month you turn the age (previous month, if born on the 1st) — the FR 56(a) proviso, verified against the Department of Personnel & Training.

Dates only. Unverified states never get a claimed official age. Retirement age for Indian government employees.

Examples

  • Central government, born 15 March 1985 (1st-of-month rule): 31 March 2045 (Friday).
  • Karnataka (verified, age 60), born 1 June 1985: 31 May 2045 (Wednesday) (born on the 1st, so the previous month-end).

Verified state retirement ages

These are the only states whose superannuation ages we could verify from an official source. Every other state shows "not verified" in the tool.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 1st-of-the-month rule?

The proviso to Fundamental Rule 56(a): a central government servant retires on the afternoon of the last day of the month in which they turn 60 — or the last day of the previous month if born on the 1st. It's the default option above because it's the official rule.

My state says "not verified". What should I do?

Enter the superannuation age your state government sets and treat the result as your own calculation, not an official figure. We only publish ages we've verified from an official source — we'd rather show "not verified" than guess.

Is there a retirement age for private jobs in India?

No statutory one — private employers set their own (commonly 58 or 60). Enter your company's age above; the tool computes the date with the same day conventions.

Punjab shows 58 — are there exceptions?

Yes: Punjab's Class IV employees retire at 60, not 58. The tool flags this when you select Punjab — category exceptions like this are why the source notes matter.

Why does Telangana carry a caveat?

Telangana's age of 61 is verified through a state-owned utility's official order quoting the government order — genuine, but one step removed from a .gov.in page. The tool shows the caveat so you know exactly what the source is.

Does this cover NPS subscribers?

Not on this page — NPS has its own exit ages (60, 70, 75). Use the NPS retirement date calculator for those.
