You say that you want to change the date of birth on your school leaving certificate.

The correction ought to be made by the said authorities.
If the said authorities decline your application then you can file a civil suit against the said authorities and pray for passing of an order directing the said authorities to............... Days from the date of the said order. This will not consume much time and a duty will be casted on the concerned authorities to correct and deliver the corrected certificate to you within the stipulated time period or face proceedings of contempt of court.

You cannot change your date of birth in your class 10th certificate, the only way out for you is to get a fresh birth certificate by writing an application to the municipal officer that your birth certificate was not issued at the time of birth due to you being born in a remote area. and after that you write an application to RBSE/CBSE attach with the birth certificate issued by municipal officer to change the date of birth in 10th mark sheet or issue duplicate mark sheet with new date of birth.
If you want actual Date of Birth of papers you need to take it from court. So it can rectify in all current documents except educational certificate and school leaving certificate it won't be able to change it now.
Alteration in the date of birth can be made by Government
servant only within five years of his entry into Government service,
with the sanction of a Ministry or Department of the Central
Government etc. subject to the following conditions.
a) A request in this regard is made within five years of his entry
into Government service;
b)It is clearly established that a genuine bona fide mistake has
occurred; and
c) The date of birth so altered would not make him ineligible to
appear in any school or University or Union Public Service
Commission examination in which he had appeared, or for an
entry into Government service on the date on which he first
appeared at such examination or on the date on which he
entered Government service.
In the judgement given by the Supreme Court on 19.02.1993 in Civil
Appeal No.502 of 1993 (Union of India Vs Harnam Singh), the
Supreme Court has inter-alia observed that in regard to the
Government servants who had joined service prior to 1979 the
correction of date of birth should be made within a period of five
years from 1979. The Supreme Court has also observed that:
“Inordinate and unexplained delay or laches on the part of the
part of the respondent to seek the necessary correction would in any
case have justified the refusal of relief to him. Even if the respondent
had sought correction on the date of birth within five years after
1979, the earlier delay would not have non-suited him but he did not
seek correction of the date of birth during the period of five years
after the incorporation of note 5 to Fundamental Rule 56 in 1979
either. His inaction for all this period of about thirty five years from
the date of joining service, therefore precludes him from showing
that the entry of his date of birth in service record was not correct”.
- As per law, the date of birth so declared by the Government servant and accepted by the Appropriate Authority shall not be subject to any alteration except as specified in this note.
- Further, an alteration of date of birth of a Government servant can be made, with the sanction of a Ministry or Department of the state Government.
- Since, you have already moved application before the competent authority but getting no response, hence no you will have to approach the Patna High Court for correcting the same and to take on record the birth certificate.
You should file a declaration suit for that
Yes, definitely you have recourse and remedial source of rectification of your birth record in your service book by publication in the Gazette of Government of Bihar inserting the changes using the service of Government printing press of the Bihar with the payment of nominal fees as per rules of Government of Bihar.
This way you may effect change in your service book.
You make a representation with your employer requesting the employer to rectify the date of birth as per birth certificate and enclose a copy of the same for their reference and further necessary action.

For service record you can only do affidavit it's sufficing.
You have to make an affidavit before the first class judicial magistrate.

You have to explain all that things in your petition and enclosed all documents which shows your actual date of birth.
Dear Sir,
Whatever, you have done is correct, the it is difficult to get the date of birth corrected in service documents. However, you may submit the humble application enumerating all the facts.
1. It is not possible to change DOB in your service records without interference of High court.
2. For that you need to file writ petition in High court for change of DOB in service records and also mention that you have make many efforts for change of DOB from the day you got the job.
Innocence of any other records the high school marksheet is taken as proof of date of birth any affidavit in this regard has no validity because as for the affidavit date of birth cannot be changed so at this point of time your date of birth as per high school certificate will be a valid date of birth and it cannot be changed.
If the concerned authorities are not responding properly, let prefer writ application before the concerned honourable high court. The entire facts are required to be mentioned in the writ application.
