Do i need seperate caste certificates for AIQ reservation and SQ reservation?.....Can i get it online?..
Hello Gautham,
Yes, both these caste certificates are quite different from each other, in terms of their value.
When State govt. recruits for their jobs, they demand a certificate which should be framed by the Public Service Commission of the state. If you want to apply for a central level job then you must obtain a OBC Certificate formatted according to National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC). Recent certificate will be considered in verification process of job recruitment.
Thus, you must understand that AIQ caste certificate is different from SQ caste certificate in terms of its importance.
Yes, you can get it online. In order to apply caste certificate online you should visit the respective state's Official Backward Class Welfare Department portal and follow the below procedure:
- Visit your state's Backward Class Welfare Portal. Department names can be different as per each state.
- Click on link "Apply for Caste Certificate Online"
- Create a new account in the portal or you can fill online application form directly.
- After creating the account log in into the portal using the username and password
- Fill the details in online form such as address, contact details, personal details, local reference details etc...
- Verify all the details you have filled in the online form and if you agree with terms and condition click submit button.
- Once you submitted you are supposed to click the type of document you are uploading for proof
- Upload the scanned copies of documents and click on "Submit" button
- Once submitted, then you will get an acknowledgement slip along with the application number.
- You can take a print out of the acknowledgement slip or save it offline. Also save the application number in order to check the application status.
- After the verification is done successfully, you can directly download the caste certificate from the portal itself.
- You may also get email / SMS once the process is done.
Meanwhile, you can check the status online from the same portal. On the same portal click on "Check Caste Certificate Status" link. You need an application number for that.
Hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask more queries.
Have a good day!!
