Dear,
A caste certificate simply states one's caste while a caste validity certificate validates the caste certificate. It is very important to renew your caste certificate. If you fail to do so then you won't be considered under caste category. Institutes will treat you like an open candidate. Also, you won't be able to get certain perks which caste candidates get.
Hope this helps!
