Hello Aspirant,
Hope you are doing well.
The presence of a caste certificate issued by your parent or grandparent is not required to establish your caste.
If any of your relatives, such as an uncle, aunt, or other relative, has a caste certificate, you may be able to utilise that document.
For the purpose of proving your caste, a caste certificate from your parent or relative must be shown.
However, it is not required that you just possess a caste certificate issued by your father or a relative in order to establish your ethnicity.
As confirmation of your caste, you might provide any of the following documents to the authorities.
a copy of the applicant's primary school register, or the father's or grandfather's primary school register
The applicant's or his father's primary school leaving certificate is required.
An extract from the applicant's or father's or relative's birth certificate
An excerpt from the applicant's father's or relative's Government Service Record (book) indicating the applicant's caste/community category.
The Department of Social Justice has released a document verifying one's caste.
If any of your father's or relatives' certificates of validity have been issued by the scrutiny committee, you should save them.
Revenue documents or local panchayat records should be copied.
Preliminary documentation pertaining to the caste and usual place of residence prior to the day on which the caste was announced
Other relevant documented proof provided by a competent body is also acceptable.
Additionally, if you have a school leaving certificate that includes your caste information, it may be utilised as Caste Proof.
It is also possible to present a school leaving certificate from your parents, uncle, aunt, or other relative as evidence of caste.
Hope you got the answer to your question. Incase of any queries, feel free to question. Have a great day!
