Hello Aspirant,
First of all it does not matter whether you upload central caste certificate or state caste certificate but the certificate which you have to upload should of similar format as available on the official website of JOSAA and if considering about language of caste certificate so there is no any point in the information brochure regarding the language of caste certificate so it would not create any problem.
If the certificate is not of similar format as available on the official website of JOSAA then you can submit the undertaking which declares that you will submit the original and valid caste certificate later on at the time of admission. You can download the undertaking from the official portal of NTA, for which link is also given below :-

When you visit on the above link you will find a PDF and on page no.9 there is undertaking format which you have to download and after filling it you have to upload it on the place of category certificate in the JEE-Main 2021 Application form and as correction window is active no so do it by January 30th.
