Retirement Age-by Attaining 58 Or After Completion Of 58 Years

Please through some light on the above subject relevant to state Govt. laws.Since most of the firm while issuing employment letter they put \'on attainment of 58 years of age you will be retiring from services\' If the clarification is given it will be useful to all my senior employees of the firm.

Dear Prabhakar
Age means Completed no of years in life of a living thing. On attaining 58 years means on completion of 58 years and 59th year commencement. I am unable to understand what is your query.

Attaining 58 yrs & completion of 58 yrs means the same thing to my understanding;
Anyways, for clarification pls put clause as "when any person completes 58 yrs as per the official DOB records, he will retire",

Our law makers are not so studious or careful so that they draft unambiguously. But commonly any age prescription is to be understood according to reference. For retirement it is completion of 55/58/60 years.

Dear all, Retirement is done on reaching the retirement age and not on completion of the age specified unless it is specified otherwise. Government of India and all government organisations follow this principle. KK

Retirement policies, of banks, private corporates, governments differ vastly - It can be 55, 58, or 60. When it is mentioned that upon attaining the age of 58, it clearly means that upon person completing the age of 58. The law is very clear. Perhaps the person who has posted the query is not able to find the difference between completion and attaining....

On completion of 58 means last day of the 58th year i.e. 1 day before of the Date of birth.

Dear All,
As all said that 58 completion is the retirement age but in case of small companies retirement is not given easily to the employees as they work from long term and they have very small area of business and limited staff so does this effect any compliance's like EPF, Gratuity etc.
Pls clarify...
