Hello Aspirant,
See the EWS certificate which you have to upload in JEE-Main 2021 application form should be issued by the competent authorities and you name should be in the central list of EWS reservation beneficiaries and also in the information brochure of JEE-Main there is nothing mentioned about the language of caste certificate so if it would be in Hindi or English then it would be much better and as you have mentioned the validity of caste certificate so let me make you clear that any kind of EWS certificate either it has been issued on state level or central level it is valid for only one year from the date of issue. So if your certificate is certified by the competent authorities as mentioned in the information brochure of JEE-Main 2021 then it will be applicable and then the language of certificate does not matter . Suppose if you don't have your certificate right now then you can apply for it and can submit the undertaking in the section of caste certificate. The Undertaking can be downloaded from the official website of NTA, for your reference I have mentioned the link below :-
https://jeemain.nta.nic.in/webinfo2021/File/GetFile?FileId=5&LangId=P
When you will go through the above mentioned link, it will open a PDF and on Page No. 9 you will find the undertaking, from there you can download it.
