Help regarding caste certificate

Greetings to the Indian Lawyer community,


I once read somewhere, that if you are interested you can cancel your caste certificate. Essentially declaring that you do not belong to any caste. I am interested in knowing about the (legal) options that an Indian has to cancel their certificate (if any). I am new to the forum and I am not sure if this question has already been answered.


Also, what are the potential negative consequences of declaring that you don't belong to any caste


Please Advise. Thanks in Advance.

there is no provision of cancellation of certificate until found to have been issued fraudulently.

 

if you say that you do not belong to such caste ( and you have certificate) then are likely to go to jail for securing false certificate.

 

you still have the option not to use it and not to claim any benefit.
