Dear Sir,

You are suggested to reply that letter with the facts known to you and visit the office with proper justification.  

If it was not fake then how did you get it. Ask your father. If you are also the victim of such a fraud then inform the RPO and lodge a case against people who issued this certificate.

You have to explain to them about the origins of the certificate. In the meantime ask your father or search for him.

You cannot claim innocence about the nature of the birth certificate.

You cannot say that you do not know that  it is fake or genuine.

You should have applied for birth certificate from the competent authority and should not have approached an agent for this purpose.

First of all find out the reason that why the passport authorities say it is fake and confirm if it is really fake or they are simply mentioning it so without proper verification.

If it is really genuine then you can produce the documentary evidences to prove it is genuine.

However if you confirm that it is fake then you may apologise for this blunder mistake and withdraw the same including the application for passport issue

You may request to pardon you for this act of innocence, it is up to the discretion of the authorities concerned for taking any action in furtherance.

You have been summoned to visit their office with explanations.

You may visit the passport office on the date 

Your father has done a blunder by contacting some mischief mongering agents  hence this has resulted into such a legal consequence.

If an applicant presumes that presenting forged documents could be an easy way out to get a passport quickly, he or she could be facing legal action.

passport officials would block the application of those furnishing false details and impose penalties ranging from Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000, in all these cases, a punishment of one year's rigorous imprisonment can also be imposed or both is slapped on the offender.

But, once convicted, the career of the person is at stake. In cases of similar offences committed by persons who are not citizens of India, Section 12 (1) (A) of the Indian Passport Act is invoked, wherein the punishment ranges from five years' rigorous imprisonment and a penalty of Rs. 10,000 or both.

In addition to all these, the offence is liable for punishment under the provisions of Indian Penal Code i.e., Sections 467 to 471 also which prescribes punishment for forgery, forgery for the purpose of cheating, using a forged document as genuine and so on.

It is better you surrender and seek their apologies instead of agitating over it and get into more trouble.

It is a crime to fake a birth certificate. You will be charged under possession of a forged document.

visit concerned RPO if an adverse report is already filed and get it closed permanently. Upon your request and a max penalty of rs 5000/- you can get it closed and apply again for fresh.. 

1. Giving any forged documents to RPO is an offence punishable under Section 12 of Passports Act with an imprisonment of up to 2 years and is also punishable under provisions of IPC.

2. Give a written reply to the notice and state that you did not had any knowledge that certificate was forged and you are ready to apply for the cancellation of the certificate.

You should visit the RPO and give justification for providing the birth certificate which is false and you need to prove that you don't have knowledge about genuiness of birth certificate.

1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that neither you nor your father even had an idea about the genuineness of the birth certificate.
2. I would like to apprise you that you need not to worry and must go and write a reason reply to their show cause notice (either in writing or oral over calls, received by you).
3. Even if the same if fake then also as the same is too old, benefit of doubt will be in your favour.
4. And also, you need to give proper information depicting all the places and people with whom he would have met whether you remember the name of those person or not but should be a true story so that you can prove your side of the story.
