Frequently Asked Questions

What if my father already has a caste certificate?

That significantly speeds up your application — his certificate number can be cited as lineage proof instead of needing fresh village revenue verification.

Is a Caste Certificate the same as an EWS certificate?

No — EWS (Economically Weaker Section) is a separate, income-based category for those in the General category, distinct from SC/ST/OBC caste-based certificates, though both are applied for through a similar process.

How long is a Caste Certificate valid?

It generally doesn't expire, though some institutions require one issued within the last 1-3 years for admission or job purposes — check the specific requirement of where you're submitting it.
