What are the documents required to get Caste Certificate ?

Answered on December 17,2017
Residence Proof (Ration Card /Rent / Maintenance Receipt / Landline Telephone Bill / Electricity Bill)
School Leaving Certificate of Candidate.
Caste Certificate of Parents i.e. Father/Grandfather/Aunty (Father’s Sister)/Uncle (Blood Relation).

Answered on December 17,2017
The application forms are available at the concerned local office in the City/Town/Village, which is usually the office of the SDM (Sub-Divisional Magistrate) or of the Tehsil or Revenue Department. In case none of your family members have earlier been issued a Caste Certificate, a local enquiry is conducted before issuing the Certificate to you. Proof of residence in your State for a minimum specified period, an affidavit stating that you belong to a particular caste(SC/ST/OBC), and the specified court stamp fee is required at the time of application.

Answered on June 04,2022I hold an offer letter for the master's degree in supply chain management in one of the universities of the UK which holds the top 100 QS ranking.
