PESHAWAR: Amid ever-growing pension liabilities, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Tuesday reversed its decision of increasing the retirement age by three years for government employees.
The decision to revert the amendment which has been pending in court since its enactment in July 2019 and has created a number of legal and administrative issues for the provincial government was made in a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Mahmood Khan.
In a video briefing, KP Finance Minister Taimur Saleem Jhagra said the retirement age would be reverted to 60 from 63 years through an amendment to the civil servants’ law.
