New Delhi:
The Delhi government Monday approved a proposal for simplifying
the procedure for issuing caste certificates to people in the
capital.
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit told reporters that the
decision was taken after various organisations highlighted the
difficulties faced by the common man in approaching gazetted
officers to get their documents attested.
While the application form, including all supporting documents for
Other Backward Classes (OBC) certificate can be attested by any
MP, legislator or a gazetted officer, the application forms for
Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) certificates can
be attested after the supporting documents have been attested by a
gazetted officer.
Currently, only sub-divisional magistrates (SDM) and tehsildars
can issue the certificates.
However, local inquiry will be made in those cases where a family
is applying for a caste certificate for the first time or the
issuing authority has a reason to believe that an inquiry is
essential.
Dikshit added that wrong attestation will be punished,
irrespective of the person verifying the documents.
