How Age Relaxation Works in Govt Jobs

In Indian government job notifications (like SSC, UPSC, State Police, Railway), a "Base Age Limit" is provided for Unreserved (UR) candidates. Reserved categories receive additional years of relaxation over this base limit.

Standard Relaxations

While specific notifications may vary, the standard central government age relaxations are:

OBC (Non-Creamy Layer): 3 Years relaxation.
SC / ST: 5 Years relaxation.
PwD (General): 10 Years relaxation.

Crucial Date (Cut-off Date)

Always check the "Age Limit As On" date in the official notification. Your exact age on this specific date determines your eligibility, not your age on the day you fill out the form.

Frequently Asked Questions

The "Age as on" date is the cut-off date set by the recruitment board. Your exact age in years, months, and days is calculated relative to this specific date to check if you fall within the allowed age bracket.

Yes. While Central Govt usually gives 3 years for OBC and 5 years for SC/ST, state governments (like MPPSC, CGPSC, UP Police) often have different rules. For example, some states give 5 years to all local reserved categories. Always refer to the specific notification.

If the max limit is 28, and you are 28 years, 0 months, and 0 days old on the cut-off date, you are generally eligible. However, if you are 28 years and 1 day old, you are considered over-age.
