The CBIC has directed all divisional heads to rigorously follow Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) guidelines for the periodic review of government employees to assess their suitability for their roles.

The Compulsory Retirement Scheme allows the government to retire an employee prematurely in the public interest, based on periodic reviews of their suitability, integrity, and effectiveness.

Employees in Group A, B, and C categories are subject to these reviews, particularly those who have reached the age of 50/55 years or completed 30 years of service.

Employees subject to this review are entitled to a three-month notice period or three months' pay and allowance.

Yes, the DoPT has urged Ministries and Departments to instruct Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), Banks, Autonomous Institutions, and Statutory bodies under their control to undertake similar periodic reviews of their employees.

The main goal is to enhance administrative efficiency, economy, and speed in government functions, and to prevent employees with doubtful integrity or inadequate performance from continuing in their roles.
