Issuing fresh passport in India when birthdate is wrong in some documents
One of my friend having a problem in issuing new passport in India. The problem is of his birthdate, here's what he's told me.
He was born in October 1988, after his completion of 10th std. (S.S.C.) in year of 2004, his birthdate have been changed by mistake to October 1989, he became one year younger by his School Leaving Certificate (in short call as LC). But however he applied for all the valid documents on basis of his birth certificate (which contains the correct date). So he has the following documents which having his correct birthdate (which he wants) are,
- Birth certificate
- PAN Card
- Election Card
- UDID (Aadhar) Card
- Driving Licence
these all documents having correct birthdate except LC, so in all educational documents contains incorrect (wrong) date.
Now he get chance to visit to US, so he applied for passport where his application got rejected on basic of difference of dates on the LC and other (above) documents.
He tried for,
- Affidavit (but he couldn't find a proper affidavit source for this, there's one available on http://passportindia.gov.in/ is this but that's for illiterate person - and he's not a illiterate person.)
Is there a way that, he would ensure that he would get the passport?
He don't want incorrect date on his passport.
Does he need to do an affidavit, if Yes, please link me to the proper format for that. It would be great if you will share a valid source for that.
Any other possible solutions?
He said that, I'm correct at my place and I don't want to do anything wrong.
Ask me if you want more information on this.

Trying to find a workaround this will get you into an even bigger mess.
I understand how these situations come to be in the first place but the correct procedure to fix this is to either get an affidavit which suggests that the date on the School Leaving Certificate is incorrect or get the School Leaving Certificate fixed.
Either way, not doing this at this point of time will lead to more problems in the future due to incorrect dates on some documents. I know it's difficult to get the School Leaving Certificate revised, so you should get a Notarized Affidavit to showcase that the person on the School Leaving Certificate is indeed you.
But consider this a temporary solution, the permanent solution would be to contact CBSE or ICSE and get the school leaving certificate revised.
