In addition to this, the government is actively exploring the possibility of extending the retirement age of top management personnel in public sector banks (PSBs), SBI, and LIC by two years.

The government officials have stated that any decision made will be carefully harmonised to ensure it aligns with the best interests of these vital financial institutions and their leadership teams.
