My company informed me on 4/4/2020 that I have been retired with effect from 1/4/2020. I am 58 years and 2 months old. Previously, the retirement age of the company was 60 years. The news of this sudden retirement during the lockdown has left me perplexed. I am finding it difficult to understand how to deal with this unexpected, insensitive, forced, and premature retirement.

Has the retirement age been changed for all employees?
The employer's action prima facie appears to be irregular. What is your designation?
Please consult a labor law advocate and wait for things to return to normal, with courts resuming normal work.

Hi,
Please follow what has been mentioned by our learned friend, and also the Maharashtra Government has clearly indicated not to retrench, cut, or harm the employees during these trying times. Check the link and try to see if you can do anything online in the meantime by contacting the Labor Department of your state. There's nothing to lose, have hope, and try your best.
Thanks and Regards

Prima facie it looks illegal. However, more details is required to give proper answer and suggest you further step.

No retirement age can be changed without giving notice of change under Section 9A of the Industrial Disputes Act. Please write to the company first to withdraw the retirement letter. If the situation is not rectified, then contact the labor commissioner. If you are in Mumbai, write to the Chief Secretary of the Government of Maharashtra as he has issued an order under Section 24 of the Disaster Management Act. Any violation of this order will attract legal action under Section 51(b) of the Disaster Management Act. Also, forward a copy to the company.
