I am giving you the age relaxation for IPS Exam for Central Government Employee as per UPSC norms.

Normal age criteria is 21-32 years.

Relaxation for Central Government Employees is 5 years.

The same Central Government Employees get relaxation upto 8 years if they are OBC and upto 10 years if they are SC or ST candidate.

It is must that the Government Employee should show evidence that he is a central Government Employee and on permanent basis and this certificate should be issued after release of IPS notification.

There is age relaxation in IPS for Government Employees.

Age relaxation is 10 years for SC and ST Tribes. 8 Years for OBC students and 5 years for OC students.

Actual age is 21-32 years.

Hence it should be 37 years for General category
40 years for OBC
42 years for SC and ST for Central Government Employees.
