Hi,
Strictly speaking completed age should be taken into consideration and accordingly the last day of 58 years should be official retirement date. Also please note that retirement age differ from Organisation to Organisation and mostly the common practice is following the retirement age criteria mentioned per their service rules or Standing Order.

Your queries are answered below at seriatim:
(1) It means the day of retirement shall be the last day of completing 57 years as the Rules state that "An employee shall retire from the service of the company on attaining the age of 58 Years". It is not stating that the employee shall retire on completion of 58 years of age. Indeed the day day prior to 58th birthday 57 years are completed and thereafter the employee is 58 years + 1,23, .. days of physical existence. This is the accepted methodology for calculating age. There is sea of difference between "ättaining" and "completing" 58 years.
(2)The quoted Rules are not implying that the retirement shall be on completing 58 years.
