Normally, unless there is any specific ongoing investigations or cases, such documents are destroyed after certain period prescribed in respect the document in question.

Yes you can ask certified copy of such documents after paying fees. One thing is that unimportant old documents generally wed out .

you are asking how long the deptts maintain the record.
this is not a legal query. it is a matter of procedure and practice to be followed by each deptt.

You may try the RTI route. But the documents would have been weeded out.

1. Under the Public Records Act, ALL Govt. depts., have to electronically digitalize all earlier records older than 3 years, before destroying the physical copies. Try to file RTI application to obtain such documents.
