,
if( mod( month(DOJ__c) + 6, 12 ) = 0, 12 , mod( month(DOJ__c) + 6, 12 ))
,
min(
day(DOJ__c),
case(

Hi Rout,
try with this formula . Syntax of this formula is correct but I havent check with the result.
NOTE:  Here replace the timeline__c with the DOJ__c. 
DATE(   IF(MONTH(Timeline__c )>6,  YEAR(Timeline__c ) + 1 , YEAR(Timeline__c ))  ,

  IF( MONTH(Timeline__c)+6 > 12, (MONTH(Timeline__c)+6)-12, MONTH(Timeline__c)+6) ,

  IF(OR(DAY(Timeline__c) = 31,DAY(Timeline__c) = 29,DAY(Timeline__c) = 28),  
  CASE(IF( MONTH(Timeline__c)+6 > 12, (MONTH(Timeline__c)+6)-12, MONTH(Timeline__c)+6), 1, 31,

  2,  IF(OR(MOD(IF(MONTH(Timeline__c )>6,  YEAR(Timeline__c ) + 1 , YEAR(Timeline__c )),400)=0,AND(MOD(IF(MONTH(Timeline__c )>6,  YEAR(Timeline__c ) + 1 , YEAR(Timeline__c )),4)=0,MOD(IF(MONTH(Timeline__c )>6,  YEAR(Timeline__c ) + 1 , YEAR(Timeline__c )),100)<>0)),
  29, 28),

  3,31,4,30,5,31,6,31,7,30,8,31,9,30,10,31,11,30,12,31,0) 
, DAY(Timeline__c))  )

Explanation of this formula: 
DATE(  
//Year value is increased by 1 if the month of the "timeline" date is more than 7.

 IF(MONTH(Timeline__c )>6,  YEAR(Timeline__c ) + 1 , YEAR(Timeline__c ))  ,

//Month value is subtracted with 12 if it is greater than 12 when Added with 6.

  IF( MONTH(Timeline__c)+6 > 12, (MONTH(Timeline__c)+6)-12, MONTH(Timeline__c)+6) ,

//Day value is dynamic as the months may have 30,31 or even 29 if it is leapYear. so we need to check the same as //per the date day value.If the date is 31,29,28 , then it uses the "case" formula

  IF(OR(DAY(Timeline__c) = 31,DAY(Timeline__c) = 29,DAY(Timeline__c) = 28),  

  CASE(IF( MONTH(Timeline__c)+6 > 12, (MONTH(Timeline__c)+6)-12, MONTH(Timeline__c)+6), 1, 31,
  2,  IF(OR(MOD(IF(MONTH(Timeline__c )>6,  YEAR(Timeline__c ) + 1 , YEAR(Timeline__c )),400)=0,AND(MOD(IF(MONTH(Timeline__c )>6,  YEAR(Timeline__c ) + 1 , YEAR(Timeline__c )),4)=0,MOD(IF(MONTH(Timeline__c )>6,  YEAR(Timeline__c ) + 1 , YEAR(Timeline__c )),100)<>0)),
  29, 28),

  3,31,4,30,5,31,6,31,7,30,8,31,9,30,10,31,11,30,12,31,0) 
, DAY(Timeline__c)) 

 )
