Hi all,
The following may kindly be noted.
If it was a recording mistake of the HR ( or personnel department) that, despite the employee having submitted a proper TC, they had recorded it wrongly, then employee definitely gets a chance for extension.
If the employee had given other records showing some other date of birth while joining the service and now he is claiming a different date as per TC, then there is no chance for extension.
In case of many public sector companies the high courts/ Supreme court have held that dispute regarding the date of birth, at the fag end of service period is not accepted. Citations for these could be obtained from the e- version of labor law journals or any local lawyer can help.
However it is also the responsibility of the employee to ensure proper recording of his date of birth in the organization, which is possible through verifying various service records. If the organization has no system of any such records, then at least when the employees obtain service/ working certificate for applying to loans etc, the date of birth/ remaining year of service mentioned can be verified clearly.
Also many organizations have a system of indicting the date of birth and age of retirement in the appointment letter itself at the beginning.
If according to Vasukumar, nothing of the above has happened, then there is no way the employee can ask for the extension now.
Kind regards
