Under Clause 25 2 (V) (b) of the Contract Labour Act Central Rules, the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner is empowered to issue the standard terms and conditions of service of contract labour. It has a clause on retirement age (58 years). Similarly, for the States, there are such rules and provision thereof. So you can look for that provision in the concerned state rules. Tried to download the Maharashtra Rules but it is not available online.

I respect our learned members replies, Where is the question of permanency in the case of contract labour. The term contract labour itself temporary in nature and to be accordance with Contract labour act. If you fails to comply the provisions of this act, it is deemed to be construed that such labourers working for a long time in an establishment as permanent. When the contract labour attain the role of permanent workmen all the clauses of standing orders act is applicable and his retirement age is 58 years or 60 years as promulgated in some of the states.
