Hello Rahul,

Since you have Maharashtra domicile , the Maharashtra authorities will not issue a Central OBC certificate because Jat is not recognized as OBC in Maharashtra.

However, you can get a Central OBC certificate from Rajasthan , where Jats are under the OBC category. This certificate will be valid for Central Government quota admissions , including All India Quota (AIQ) counselling in NEET .

Key Points:

1. State OBC and Central OBC are different: Since Jats are not OBC in Maharashtra, you cannot get a Maharashtra OBC certificate.
   
   
2. Central OBC certificate from Rajasthan is valid for AIQ: As long as the caste is listed under the Central OBC list, you can use it for NEET AIQ counselling.
   
   
3. For Maharashtra State Quota, you will be treated as General: Since Maharashtra does not recognize Jats as OBC, you cannot claim OBC benefits in state quota seats.

You should apply for a Central OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate from Rajasthan and use it for NEET AIQ counselling .

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello,

For NEET MDS , here's the clarification regarding your category:

1. Central List of OBC :  Your caste appears under OBC, but this is based on the central government's classification.

2. Kerala Government List : In Kerala's list, you fall under the OEC-SC category, which is specific to the state's classification.

3. NEET MDS Application :

   • Since NEET is a central-level exam, the classification that matters is based on the central government’s policies.
   • If you are applying for the central quota, you should select the OBC category as per the central list, as the state’s OEC-SC classification may not apply for NEET MDS.
   • If applying for state quota in Kerala, refer to Kerala's guidelines, which may accept your OEC-SC status.

4. Consult Kerala Authorities : It's advisable to confirm with the Kerala State authorities or the NEET MDS helpdesk to ensure accurate selection based on the state and central quota policies.

Hello Shivani,

Obtaining your caste and income certificates depends on a few key details, including your family's origin, migration status, and current residence. Here's a clear guide tailored to your situation:

• Caste Certificate:

  • State of Origin (Rajasthan):

    • Caste certificates are generally issued by the state of your family's origin, as caste is recognized based on your ancestral state. Since your caste (Mali, OBC) belongs to the OBC list in Rajasthan, you should apply for the caste certificate there.
    • You will need documents like your family records, voter ID or any document linking your family to Rajasthan. If your family still owns property or has relatives there, those links will help.
    • Approach the local tehsildar or district office in your family's ancestral area in Rajasthan for the application.

  • Telangana:

    • While Mali caste is recognized under the BCD category in Telangana, getting a caste certificate in Telangana may be challenging since caste certificates are tied to your ancestral place.
    • However, since you’ve been living in Telangana for 13 years and have Aadhaar linked to Telangana, you may try to apply through the Meeseva portal or a local tehsildar, citing your long-term residence.
    • For Telangana, you might need additional documentation to establish your link to the OBC list there.

• Income Certificate:

  • I
  • Income certificates are issued by the state where you currently reside. Since you live in Telangana and have an Aadhaar card with a Telangana address, you can apply for your income certificate in Telangana.
  • Visit the nearest Meeseva center or apply online through the Telangana government's official portal for income certificates. You will need proof of residence and possibly an affidavit regarding your family's income.

• Documentation:

  • For caste: Rajasthan-related proofs (ancestral connection).
  • For income: Telangana address proof and income-related documents.
