You're right about it. The relaxation is only in terms of the upper age limit. It is mandatory even for a VI to complete the prescribed age limit (lower limit) as required by the commission on the specified date. Further, there is no toleration even for a single day regarding the lower age limit. Hence, he is not eligible to take the examination. BTW, you may consult the Rajasthan State Service Comission, but this is the policy of the UPSC. I think the same rules apply there as well.
