i have up caste certificate but i live in maharashtra and my caste is in central obc list of maharashtra can i apply for it
Hello, caste is a state specific subject, you can check this link to check the Maharashtra list if your category is included http://www.bcmbcmw.tn.gov.in/obc/faq/maharashtra.pdf
If you want to apply for central applications getting the certificate in central OBC format is necessary. If it is state related applications then you can submit its respective certificate except in the case of other state quota.
Hope this helps.
