have been within the age limits prescribed for Government service at the time he entered service
with reference to the difference date later claimed by him. If he would not have been so eligible
it should be examined whether the date actually accepted then was given by him bonafide and
did not give him some advantage in securing admission into service at that time and the change
proposed later on is for bonafide reasons and not merely to gain some fresh advantage.
6. Where it is proved that the date of birth had been falsely stated by an employee to obtain
an advantage otherwise inadmissible, disciplinary action shall be taken against the individual
concerned in addition to effecting the necessary alteration of the date of birth in service records
to conform with evidence found in support of the real date of birth.
7. Where a changed date of birth is ordered no restrospective adjustment of pay and
allowance should be permitted, in other words, the change will be given effect from a
prospective date. This should be made clear in each sanction.
Change of Date of Birth of Children of GREF Personnel
8. The date of birth of childen of serving GREF personnel will not be changed merely to
confirm to the entries of age recorded in School register. In the event of difference between the
date of birth shown in School certificate and that recorded in service documents the former will
be accepted as correct for the purpose of admissibility of Children Education Allowance and no
amendment to the Kindred Roll portion of the service documents need be carried out on this
account.
9. However, as there cannot be two dates of birth for a child and if the GREF personnel
claim the date on School records to be correct then the GREF Pers will be asked to submit a
declaration in writing giving correct date of birth (alongwith authenticated proof of date of birth,
which will be witnessed by two persons and if the same found satisfactory will be countersigned
by the OC Unit). Accordingly, change in date of birth of the child will be notified in DO Part II
and one copy of the same alongwith the declaration will be forwarded to Record Office GREF
which will be kept in the Record set of service documents of the individual concerned.

10. Matriculation or equivalent is the minimum qualification for certain trades in the GREF
for recruitment. For the purpose of employment to posts under the Central Govt including
Armed Force Education qualifications recognised by the Govt of India as equivalence to
Matriculation examination has to be referred.
