      I have replied earlier in detail to a similar question of change of date of birth in service records of the Government, and that reply can be seen at: Change of date of birth in Government service 8 years after joining.

      Please note that as mentioned in the above reply, change of date of birth in service records after 5 years, is not possible.

      In your case, you have mentioned that you joined the organisation on deputation from the government service. Deputation is considered a continuation of service. It is not like a completely fresh service. Deputation is also basically a transfer of service.

      It would have been advisable for you to change the date of birth in the proper and transparent manner, by disclosing what your date of birth as per existing records was and what your actual date of birth is.

      While it is difficult for me to give an accurate opinion to you on your detailed facts, in the absence of having seen the full records, I may point out that you may have to fight your case in the tribunal / court. Depending on facts, it may perhaps be considered as suppression of facts. If it is considered as a continuation of service, then the chances of success of getting the change of date of birth accepted would be comparatively less.

      You may consult some local lawyer with your detailed documents and facts to get an accurate advice on your detailed facts.
