Re: False date of birth
Your question needs a serious answer. It is a very serious crime to obtain a bogus birth certificate. It is punishable as a forgery with minimum seven (7) years in jail. If one gets caught using a bogus birth certificate, it is hell given that the Indian Law is stiff on forgeries.
One can file a case with the police department. However, this is usually not very effective.
The better way would be to file a private prosecution in the criminal court, and get an order upon the police to take steps, which is more effective and deterrent.
I hope I have answered your question satisfactorily.

filing of wrong affidavit attracts punishment under section 340 CrPc
file the application where the wrong affidavit is filed.
