It is a criminal offence u/s 191,193,195,199 of IPC, 1860 to make false affidavit in one’s pleadings before court of law.
You can even file a private complaint u/s 200 before competent magistrate.
An application can also be filed in accordance with 340 read with 195 of CrPc.

It's not perjury. Because the documents were created outside the court and then filed.
Perjury is attracted when a false statement is made in the court or when a document already produced in the court is tampered with. In other words the document should have been tampered with while it's in the custody of the court
If the court returns the document, you can make amendments as you like and resubmit it.
