• Age relaxation for Govt Employees applying Govt Post

The question is about age relaxation for Govt-PSU/Govt employees working under Govt Of India who are applying the Govt job in Group-A & Group-B category for both central Govt and state Govt?
Sir recently one Govt Of India organisation published an advertisement for Group-B category post where the maximum age limit for all category is 28. But the same organisation has mentioned in the advertisement that the age relaxation for govt employees/departmental candidate/SC/ST/EWS/Ex-Serviceman/PWD candidate will be as per latest govt guidelines?
But the same organisation had published the advertisement for the same post two times in last six months where in the advertisement they were particularly mentioning that there will age relaxation of 5 years for Govt employees?
My date of Birth is 09-6-1988 and I am working in a Govt of India PSU in Group-B post belongs to unreserved category. Is there any Govt of India guidelines or any provision for age relaxation for Govt employees?

Dear Sir,

The advertisement clearly discloses the criteria for age relaxation . It is binding on it as such if it applies to you then you can avail such concession irrespective of other guidelines issued by Government of India etc .

Age relaxation shall be acc. to advertisement and state PSU can give more relaxation as per need. Present recruitment shall be acc. to latest govt guidelines, which is extended by 5 years, so now the new age limit for reserve category will be 43 years and 38 years for UR.

You are well with in limit.
