FOR AIR FORCE ESM/WIDOWS ONLY:

HOW TO ENDORSE/ CHANGE WIFE’S/WIDOW’S AGE/YEAR/WRONG DATE OF BIRTH (DOB) TO CORRECT & FULL DOB IN IAF RECORDS AND SPARSH PPO?

1) If DOB of Wife/Widow is Wrong (not matching with Adhaar and PAN Cards) OR only AGE or YEAR of birth is mentioned in PPO/AF Records (DAV)/Discharge Books, then you should apply to DAV (through ZSB) to endorse correct and full DOB of wife in DDMMYYYY format in your Service RECORDS & PPO.

Note: For all Pre-2006 pensioners, only AGE or Year or Nil DOB is mentioned in Discharge Books (DB), Service Records (DAV) and PPO.

2) You can endorse full DOB or AMEND wrong DOB of wife in Service Records and PPO in two ways:-
