financeTL;DR
Under Fundamental Rule (FR) 56, a central-government employee retires on the last day of the month in which they turn 60. So a date of birth of 15 July 1970 gives a retirement date of 31 July 2030. The one exception: if you were born on the 1st of a month, you retire on the last day of the preceding month (born 1 July 1970 to 30 June 2030). This tool applies that rule and also shows the service time remaining. Your date of birth is processed in your browser and is not stored.

For most central-government civil employees, the age of superannuation is 60 under Fundamental Rule 56. The rule fixes retirement on the afternoon of the last day of the month in which you complete that age - not your exact birthday. So if you turn 60 on any day in July 2030, your retirement date is 31 July 2030, and you draw salary for that whole month. Enter your date of birth in the calculator above to get the precise date and the years and months of service left.
There is one important carve-out in FR 56: an employee whose date of birth is the 1st of a month retires on the last day of the preceding month. So someone born on 1 July 1970 retires on 30 June 2030 (not 31 July), and someone born on 1 January 1970 retires on 31 December 2029. This is the detail many generic age calculators get wrong; this tool handles it automatically and tells you when the rule has applied.
While 60 is the norm, some categories retire at 62 or 65 (certain teaching, scientific, medical, or specified posts), and state governments, PSUs, defence, and the judiciary follow their own rules. The calculator lets you change the retirement age to match your service category. As your date approaches, plan the money side too: estimate your end-of-service payout with the Gratuity Calculator (Payment of Gratuity Act, with the government formula), and project your pension corpus with the NPS Calculator. If you also want the percentage of any final salary revision, the Salary Hike Calculator works it out.
Retirement date follows Fundamental Rule (FR) 56 (Department of Personnel & Training, Government of India): superannuation on the afternoon of the last day of the month of attaining the prescribed age, with the 1st-of-month employee retiring on the last day of the preceding month. Retirement ages vary by service and state; confirm against your own service rules. Source retrieved June 2026. This is a planning aid, not an official service record.
