VRS after 20 years of service under NPS
The Pensioners’ Welfare Department has issued new rules for VRS. According to these rules, employees who have completed 20 years of service can opt for VRS by giving three months’ written notice. Employees must submit their VRS application in writing to the appointing authority.
Three-month notice period
The retirement will be deemed accepted if the appointing authority does not raise any objections within the three-month notice period. Employees who want to retire with a notice period of less than three months can appeal in writing. The appointing authority will consider the appeal and may accept it if it does not affect administrative work.
More flexibility
After submitting the retirement notice, the employee cannot withdraw it unless they receive special permission. The request to withdraw the notice must be made at least 15 days in advance. The new rules will provide employees with more flexibility and opportunities for future planning under the VRS scheme. They will be able to choose their retirement time themselves.
