Age concession for direct recruitment into T.N. government service to remain till September 2026
The State government has decided to allow the one-time concession in maximum age limit for various competitive exams for direct recruitment into government service till September next year. In view of the delay in conducting various exams due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the State government in September 2021 issued orders enhancing the maximum age limit for direct recruitment by two years. In a recent communication, Chief Secretary N. Muruganandam clarified that the decision was a 'one-time concession' and added that this would be applicable only to recruitment by various agencies and appointing authorities (made through notification) till September 12, 2026. Necessary amendments to the special rules/ad hoc rules be needed in this regard by the respective departments, Mr. Muruganandam added. The communication has been sent to all government departments, Collectors, the Madras High Court, the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, the Teachers Recruitment Board, the Medical Services Recruitment Board, the Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board, and the Tamil Nadu Forest Uniformed Services Recruitment Board, among others. In 2021, the then Minister for Finance and Human Resources Management had announced the one-time age concession in the Assembly. The Human Resources Management Department on September 13, 2021 issued orders for the same. However, it did not specify as to how long the concession would remain in effect. Meanwhile, some government departments raised doubts if the relaxation continued to be in place. The Chief Secretary's clarification was in response to these concerns. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin had announced that several thousand posts in the government service would be filled.
