Should the OBC certitificate obtained for the purpose of Central Govt. / Public Sector Jobs need to have the Father's name ? My BC certificate has my mother's name. So it will be easier for me to get an OBC certitificate with her name as my parent. Will that be a valid one? Or shoudl I get one with my Father's name. And is there any rule which specifically states that OBC certificate must have father's name and not in mother's name?
