You have no evidence as to your date of birth 

 

2) your service records mention date of birth as per your  school leaving certificate 

 

3) merely on basis of father affidavit your date of birth would not be changed in service records

- As per Fundamental Rules , every Government servant will retire from service on the afternoon of the last day of the month in which he attains the age of sixty years.

- Further,  the date on which a Government servant attains the age of 58 years or sixty years, as the case may be, shall be determined with reference to the date of birth declared by the Government servant at the time of appointment and accepted by the Appropriate Authority on production of documentary evidence such as High School or Higher Secondary or Secondary School Certificate or extracts from Birth Register.

- An alteration of date of birth of a Government servant can be made, with the sanction of a Ministry under which the Government servant is serving,

- Further , this alteration should be made within a maximum period of 5 years only.

- Since, the date of birth in the service book was entered as per your matriculation certificate , which is an acceptable documentry proof as per law, hence on the basis of an Affidavit , it cannot be changed.

See if there is no proof as birth certificate and hospital record then there are least chances of change of DOB.

Court may also reject the application therefore in view as such there is no use for change of DOB now.

If you have hospital certificate or gram Panchayat or municipal corporation certificate on that basis you can apply in state government gazette for correct date of birth.

Change in DOB can only be done if their is a discrepancy between the school records and the board records. 

The same can not be rectified now at this stage

No way out. Birth certificate or medical document of birth is must.

Or get school certificates from the admission till 9th.

without any documentary evidence you cannot change your date of birth even if you approach court of law for this purpose.

What about the birth certificate?

If the birth certificate is having the correct date of birth then you cannot change the same merely on the basis of your father's affidavit.

What is the veracity of your father's affidavit?

Whatever it is, how do you say that it is your actual date of birth, do you have any proof to prove your actual date of birth, viz., birth certificate or hospital records etc?

In my opinion you may be wasting your time and energy on this, instead set them aside and carry on with your routine work ignoring this because it will not be possible to get your date of birth changed without any substantial proof to prove your correct date of birth.
