The Mizoram State Government Employees Group Insurance Scheme (MSGEGIS) is a social security measure designed to provide financial assistance to the families of government employees. According to the rules governing the scheme, eligibility for membership is tied to the age of recruitment. The scheme specifically stipulates that it shall not apply to persons who are recruited into the State Government service after they have attained the age of 50 years. This age limit is set because the scheme involves insurance-like contributions and benefits that are not actuarially viable for individuals entering service very late in their career. Therefore, option (b) is the correct legal threshold for exclusion from the scheme based on recruitment age.
