Section 60(1) in Tamil Nadu Government Servants (Conditions of Service) Act, 2016
(1)After a person has entered service, if it is found that his date of birth entered in his Service Register is different from that entered in the Secondary School Leaving Certificate or Military Discharge Certificate, which may be due to some clerical error or otherwise wrong entries, application for correction of such clerical error or wrong entries, shall be made to the appointing authority. Such corrections in the Service Register shall be made straightway by the appointing authority. If the date of birth in the Service Register was entered on the basis of the Secondary School Leaving Certificate, correction of clerical error or wrong entries shall be made only with reference to Secondary School Leaving Certificate and if the date of birth in the Service Register was entered on the basis of the Military Discharge Certificate, correction of clerical error or wrong entries shall be made only with reference to the Military Discharge Certificate. Where the Secondary School Leaving Certificate and the Military Discharge Certificate contain different dates of birth, the date of birth entered in the Secondary School Leaving Certificate shall be accepted. But, the date of birth entered in the Military Discharge Certificate shall be accepted in the absence of the Secondary School Leaving Certificate.
