Accordingly, the officials said, Rai would retire on May 22, 2013 on completion of 65 years of age. As per the notification posted on the website, he was appointed as CAG on January 7, 2008.

Under the Constitution, the tenure of CAG is for a period of six years or 65 years of age, whichever is earlier.
