The government of Jammu and Kashmir has asked to identity officials who are “ineffective in work or not fit to continue” after completion of 22 years of service or have attained 48 years of age.
In October last year, the J&K government had amended Article 226 (2) of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Service Regulations for a provision to retire at any time any government servant after he has completed 22 years of service or attained 48 years of age.
The appropriate authority have to give either three months prior notice or three months of allowance to retire any employee, according to a notification issued by then Financial Commissioner.
Setting the Time Schedule to be followed, the notification states that “the exercise of review of performance of the Government Servants will be initiated for each Government Servant for the first time after her/his completion of 22 years of Government Service or attaining 48 years of age and any time subsequently, as may be required.”
