This notification details amendments to the All India Services (Death-Cum-Retirement-Benefits) Rules, 1958. The key changes concern the process for voluntary retirement, allowing members of service to withdraw their notice of voluntary retirement within a specified period. If no order is issued by the competent authority within that timeframe, the retirement becomes effective automatically. The notification also defines the ‘competent authority’ as the entity empowered to accept notices of voluntary retirement. A comprehensive list of previous notifications amending these rules, along with their dates, is also provided for historical reference.
