Bureaucrats seldom consider as justified "ever-greening" by private sector corporate chiefs who continue to head their companies for decades. But when it comes to their own institution, even the top bureaucrats cannot resist the temptation to do the same. In a note circulated in the Forum of Indian Regulators, a top bureaucrat suggested that since the age of retirement for a bureaucrat has been extended from 58 years to 60 years, the same for regulators must also be changed from 63 years to 65 years. He is making, of course, the highly misplaced assumption that a regulator's position is meant for retired bureaucrats.
