Caste of daughter

anand (Querist) 24 February 2016 This query is : Resolved
Dear All,

Can you please clarify the following:

I (girl) am born to a father who is a schedule caste by birth and I had inherited the same caste. My mother however married (after divorcing my biological father) second time to a forward caste person. I was about 4 years old when that happened. I am 26 and married to a forward caste person now. Would I continue to hold the caste of my biological father or do I get forced to inherit my 2nd fathers caste?

What is the name of your father in your educational certificates / other documents?

Caste is considered by birth on the basis of father's caste.

You will be treated as SC if your biological father name is in your documnets

Many thanks Mr. Rajendra and Mr Sanjeev..

Educational certificates after my first grade does not have my biological father's reference.. I only have my birth certificate and my caste certificate that reflect my biological father's name and caste.. Would I still be able to leverage the SC certificate?
