OBC Caste Certificate Name & Spelling Alignment

Harmonize Central and State OBC Non-Creamy Layer certificates for UPSC, SSC, and NEET counseling.

Kaagzaat Legal Assurance & Authority: Strict Counseling Deadlines: UPSC, NTA, and State PSCs reject candidates if OBC certificate names mismatch 10th certificates. Other Backward Class (OBC) and Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) certificates are subject to intense scrutiny during competitive exam counseling (NEET, JEE, UPSC, SSC, IBPS). If the candidate's name or father's name on the revenue certificate does not match the 10th marksheet character-for-character, candidates risk losing reserved seats.

Official Gazette Record

100% MEA Accepted

Legal Background & Department Rules

OBC certificates are issued by the Tehsildar / Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) / Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) under state and central resolution lists.

Name correction requires submitting a rectification petition to the issuing revenue authority accompanied by ancestral revenue records and 10th class certificates.

We review your caste resolution serials, verify Central vs State list eligibility, and guide you through the SDM correction process before counseling deadlines.

Important Rules to Prevent Department Rejection

• Central government recruitments require the specific Central OBC Format referencing Government of India Ministry of Social Justice resolutions, not just state formats.
• Adopting an entirely new surname does not automatically grant caste status; caste is determined by birth and lineage under constitutional law.
