The Karnataka State Servants (Determination of Age) Act, 1974

General19747 sections

The Karnataka State Servants (Determination of Age) Act, 1974 establishes rules for recording and modifying the official age and birth date of government employees in Karnataka. It applies to all civil service members and post holders in the state. Upon appointment, employees must declare their age using specified documentary evidence, such as birth registers or school certificates, which is then officially recorded. The law prevents routine or unauthorized age changes, allowing alterations only through a formal government inquiry within strict time limits. By providing a clear, final mechanism to record age, this legislation ensures fairness and certainty regarding retirement dates and service conditions.
