Hi, There is no maximum age limit for entry level, it all depends on the organisation HR policy.

Why not, if he is certified medically to be physically and mentally fit and your company's policy is not opposed to it? You need to look into the company's retirement policy and recruitment policy.

There is absolutely no age bar if the person is medically fit. Organization-to-organization policies for recruitment and retirement will vary. I have seen organizations employing people aged 70, 75, and older without any inhibition. What is important here is that the person should be able to deliver. At times, it is the demand and supply position which may play a role that could make an organization adjust.

You can employ anyone aged 60 or above, provided they are fit. You can hire them as a consultant or a direct employee. If the employee's salary is less than Rs. 15,000, they can be covered under ESI. However, if their salary is higher, ESI coverage does not apply, and most mediclaim policies do not enroll individuals above 60 years nowadays (please verify with your insurance company).
PF Contributions for Employees Aged 60 and Above
For PF contributions, you can allocate the entire 24% (12% from the employee and 12% from the employer) to the employee's EPF account. There is no requirement to pay EPS if the employee has completed 58 years.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you.

This may help you. For the workmen, the age of retirement will be governed by the "certified standing order," and in the absence of a certified standing order, the "model standing order" will apply. You will not appoint anyone older than the "prescribed retirement" age. However, there are ways—you can hire them on a fixed-term contract or retainership, etc.

As advised by my colleagues, please check your standing orders (or model standing orders). There is a retirement age specified in it. You cannot appoint a worker who has already crossed that age. You can hire him in a consultant or fixed-term position.
