Non availability of Date of Birth / Age Proof for granting additional quantum of pension


  • Date of birth/age of the members of family mentioned by the Government servant in Form 3 was not mandatory to be verified by the Head of Office
  • Since the date of birth of the Government servant is recorded in the PPO on the basis of the service records and the date of superannuation etc. also is determined on the basis of this date of birth, there is no question of allowing change in the date of birth of the retired/deceased pensioner in the PPO
  • The request for change of date of birth/age of the family pensioner (parents and spouse) in the PPO may be submitted by a pensioner/family pensioner to the Head of the Department of the organisation where the Government servant had last served along with at least one of the documents i.e. PAN Card, Matriculation certificate. Passport, CGHS Card, Driving Licence, Voter's ID Card and Aadhaar Number issued by UIDAI and a declaration on a non judicial stamp paper regarding the correct date of birth of the family pensioner. The Head of the Department may allow the change in the date of birth of the family pensioner if he is satisfied that the conditions indicated in this Department's OM No.38/37/08-P&PW (A) dated 21.5.2009 have been fulfilled and that a bonafide mistake has been made in recording the date of birth in the PPO
  • No other document will be accepted for allowing the change in date lof birth/age of the kmily pensioner in the PPO
  • In order to avoid any possibility of recording an incorrect date of birth in the PPO, in future, the Government servant may be required to submit one of the documents indicated in Para 1 above as proof of date of birth of spouse or parents along with the details of family in Form 3. In the case of children certificate of birth from the Municipal authorities or from the local panchayat or from the head of a recognised school if the child is studying in such a school or from a Board of Education may be accepted
