Sub caste change in obc certificate

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 16 June 2024 This query is : Resolved 
Hello, I have changed my sub caste in my obc certificate through SDM office, because my previous sub-caste was removed from the central list of OBC. I applied for the cancellation of my previous OBC certificate and then applied and successfully made the new OBC certificate with new sub caste through my paternal uncle caste certificate ( previous one was based on my father sub caste). Is it completely legitimate or not. I have done it for the purpose of seat and age relaxation in Central govt jobs.

Hello sir, Mr Sudhir kr, Mr. T.kalaisevalan, Mr. Kavksatyanarayana thank you for answering my question but,
I want to add something I didn't made this document through fraudulent methods. There is a set of documents required to make a new OBC caste certificate which is publicly available at government websites in which one can make obc caste certificate on the basis of paternal uncle caste certificate legitimately and I did the same and there is no provision of any editing in the current obc certificate so you have to cancel your current obc certificate and make a new one even for simple changes like address or fault in fathers name etc. I have done this and even asked the SDM while verification that can I make my obc certificate through my paternal uncle caste certificate, he replied "only if you have a 1993 document of your uncle or grand father, I answered that yes I have , He said then okay. I want to know that should I double check this with OBC central department office, or you guys have surely can say that this is not legal on the basis of some trusted source.
Hopeful to get an authentic answer, thank you.

As per Indian law, it is not possible to change one's caste. Caste is determined by birth and is considered an unchangeable aspect of an individual's identity. A person's caste is determined by their birth and is supposed to be based on their father's caste.

It appears that you somehow managed the officials to obtain the certificate by suppressing the fact of your original caste, which can be termed as an act of cheating or fraud.
This may cause you a great loss in future.

Such change is possible only through fraud. You yourself said that you used uncle's certificate (not father's) you are publicly admitting fraud.

you get a job on the basis of fraudulent certificate and be ready for face consequences even at the time when retirement is very near.

better do no use this certificate and apply as general candidate.

If you have clarified everything from the authorities concerned and are confident about its legality then what is it preventing you from proceeding with your task.
It is you who is going to face the legal issues that may or may not arise in future in this regard.
