I have just joined the HR department as an HR Management Trainee. I have drafted a Retirement Policy for a Pharma company. I need to know if I have to delete or add anything, and also please correct me if there are any mistakes.

Let me appreciate your efforts in drafting the policy. As a trainee, you have done the job far better than expected. Any policy should cover as many details as possible. For instance, the age eligibility can be written as, "Employees who attain the age of 58 as per the date of birth recorded in the HR system." In India, we often see discrepancies in dates of birth, where the original date of birth differs from what is shown on the certificate. It would be helpful to clarify this.
"Aims" can be written as "Objectives."
Do you have any guidelines for early retirement? For example, if an employee reaches 56 years and wishes to retire, is there a process in place for this?
Could you create a quick FAQ section for this policy? When drafting FAQs, consider questions from the employees' perspective to ensure comprehensive coverage. Policies with FAQs are more accessible to employees.
Regarding benefits, it would be helpful to list the benefits that will not cease. If not, please mention that benefit entitlement details will be provided along with the retirement package email.
I appreciate the process workflow (Notification > Application > Assessment > Contractual Reappointment).
Could you provide more details on how compensation and benefits will be handled if an employee continues to work past the retirement age? Employees may have questions about this.
Good work.

Can anyone help me with what is the retirement age for a private limited company? One of the employees wants to take a loan, and the bank is asking for a letter stating the retirement age of 60 years from the company. Kindly assist.

Retirement Policy for Employees Aged 58 and Above
The attached retirement policy is effective for employees whose age is 58 years. However, what is the policy and security of money for those who have served for 20-25 years and are aged between 50-55?
Extension of Services
The extension of services is effective, but very few establishments and employees benefit from it. This is just for HR practices purposes.
Need for an Effective Policy
Lastly, it is required to make a very effective policy. This is my first paragraph.
Thanks and regards,
