Officially you're not allowed to correct/change your age after booking of a ticket.
Unless you're availing any concessions(child/ Sr. citizen) TTEs will not bother much about your age so your age +/- 5 years is safe. Even 10 years difference will not create problems always.
Login into your account, and click the booked tickets. Click the following image and check the red circled links in your account. If you find your transaction then it’s fine otherwise also you’ll get a refund which may take 10 days or so. In the mean time don’t close your bank account or credit card which you’ve used to make payment.
If you ever lose your SIM, it is often easier to go for a new SIM as it costs less than a Rs. 50. Moreover filing FIR with police isn't a easy affair, given the cost of bribe.
