The Chief Secretaries of all the State Governments/Union Territories
Subject: Revision of format for OBC Caste Certificate
Madam/Sir,
The Government of India had issued instructions on 8th September, 1993
vide DoPT OM. No. 36012/22/93-Estt.(SCT) providing for reservation to
Other Backward Classes in the services and posts under the Government of
India. The format of the Caste Certificate was prescribed vide Annexure
A of the O.M. No. 36012/22/93-Estt.(SCT) dated 15th November 1993. In
the said format, the then Ministry of Welfare’s Resolution No.
12011/68/93-BCC(C) dated 10th September 1993 was mentioned, which
contained the list of castes and communities treated as OBC’s till that
time. Since then, a large number of castes and communities have been
added to the Central List of OBCs through various resolutions of the
Ministry of Social Jusiice and Empowerment. The details of the
resolutions subsequent to the Resolution dated 10th September 1993 do
not find mention in the existing format. The said format also prescribes
that the certificate issuing authority should certify that the
candidate does not belong to the persons/sections (Creamy Layer)
mentioned in Column 3 of the Schedule to the aforesaid OM. dated
8.9.1993.
2. Representations have been received in this Department wherein
candidates belonging to OBC Communities have reportedly faced difficulty
in getting the benefits of reservation. This is because of the fact
that in the caste certificate issued by the concerned district
authorities, although the name of the caste/community is mentioned in
the certificate, the specific resolution by which the said
caste/community has been included in the Central Listof OBCs is not
indicated.
3. Keeping in view such problems faced by the candidates, this issue was
examined in consultation with the National Commission for Backward
Classes and it has been decided to revise the existing format of OBC
Caste Certificate. A copy of the revised format is enclosed(Anuexure).
All the certificate issuing authorities are requested to invariably
mention the details of the Resolution (Number and Date) by which the
castec/community of the candidate has been included in the Central List
of OBCs and also to ensure that he/she does not belong to the
persons/sections (Creamy Layer) mentioned in Column 3 of the Schedule to
the aforesaid O.M. dated 8.9.1993 as amended from time to time.
4. I am to request that the revised format of the Certificate may please
be brought to the notice of authorities under the State
Governments/Union Territories who are empowered to issue the Caste
Certificate.
Yours faithfully,
sd/-
