CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 133 17.3. All whole-time members of the teaching staff, as defined in Regulation 1.1 of Chapter V(A), shall retire on attaining the age of 60 years and no extension in service shall be granted. 17.4. A whole-time Medical Officer of the University shall retire on reaching the age of sixty years; provided that extension may be granted for a period up to two years in special cases, on the recommendation of the Vice-Chancellor. 17.5. A University employee who has put in not less than 20 years’ qualifying service may, by giving notice of three months in writing to the appropriate authority, retire from the service voluntarily. A notice of less than three months may be accepted by the appropriate authority in deserving cases. 17.6. A notice of voluntary retirement may be withdrawn subsequently only with the approval of the appropriate authority provided the request for such withdrawal is made before the expiry of the period of notice. 17.7. A notice of voluntary retirement, given after completion of 20 years’ qualifying service will require acceptance by the appropriate authority if the date of retirement, on the expiry of the notice would be earlier than the date on which the employee concerned could have retired voluntarily under the existing provisions of regulations. Such acceptance may generally be given in all cases except those (a) in which disciplinary proceedings are pending or contemplated against the employee concerned for the imposition of a major penalty and the disciplinary authority, having regard to the circumstances of the case, is of the view that the imposition of the penalty of removal or dismissal from service would be warranted in the case; or (b) in which prosecution is contemplated or may have been launched in a court of law against the employee concerned. If it is proposed to accept the notice of voluntary retirement even in such cases, approval of the Syndicate in case of employees up to class B and of Senate in all other cases, shall be obtained. Even where the notice of voluntary retirement given by an employee requires acceptance by the appropriate authority, the employee giving notice may presume acceptance and the retirement shall be effective in terms of the notice unless the Vice-Chancellor issues an order to the contrary before the expiry of the period of notice. *17.8.

An employee who retires voluntarily, shall be entitled to gratuity, furlough and benefit of encashment of earned leave, as in the case of employees who retire on superannuation, as may be admissible under the rules and regulations.

A University employee is eligible to seek premature retirement even before completing 20 years’ qualifying service on medical grounds if the incumbent is certified to be suffering from some incurable disease or permanent disability which renders him unfit to continue in service.
