In application of age limits, the age limits that were valid for the date when the required premium dates are completed are taken as basis.
For instance, an employee whose insurance started in 2008 will complete 7200 days of premium in 2028 on condition that she works continuously and according to the age limit valid on that date, if the woman is insured, she can retire at the age of 58.
