Retirement Age for Contract Labourers
Under Clause 25(2)(V)(b) of the Contract Labour Act Central Rules, the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner is empowered to issue the standard terms and conditions of service for contract labour. It includes a clause on retirement age, which is 58 years. Similarly, for the States, there are such rules and provisions. Therefore, you can search for that provision in the relevant state rules. I attempted to download the Maharashtra Rules, but they are not available online.
