SC / ST / EWS Certificate Name Correction Service
Rectify spelling errors in Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and Economically Weaker Section certificates.
Legal Background & Department Rules
Because caste certificates are issued under the President's Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950, revenue officers exercise extreme caution when modifying entries.
A minor spelling correction in the applicant's or father's name is processed by filing an affidavit and genealogical proof before the competent Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) or Tehsildar.
We handle the state portal re-verification (e-District, MeeSeva, Nadakacheri, Casto, etc.) and coordinate the physical scrutiny docket.
Important Rules to Prevent Department Rejection
- • A legal name change does not change your caste. If you changed your personal name by Gazette, you attach the Gazette copy to your existing caste certificate rather than applying for a different caste.
