CSE 15 Form: Community Certificate (OBC, SC/ST) and date issues

edited May 2015 in Miscellaneous
I'm from OBC and I have a OBC-NC certificate issued in year 2009.

Should I get a new certificate issued? Does UPSC gives some format to follow while getting new certificate?

If I can use the old certificate, then how old could it be? Like 6 months or 3 years or what?

And what is this Community Certificate Date in form?

  • You should get it renewed as far as I know it should be max 1 yr old..
  • Obc certificate validity is 3 yrs, for 2014 pt & mains I submitted of 2013, interview due in june, no objection being raised on obc date certificate..

    remember 3 years is validity because 3 years financial returns-income tax returns you have to file along with daf..

    And yes they do give time if any certificate they need you to re-submit.. Many students have even submitted after getting selected-remember in pdf final list- these roll numbers selection is provisional-it is normally due to some certificate not submitted..
  • Bro its date of issue of caste certificate. Sc st have only one certificate so community certificate date is the date of the original certificate. Don't know how obc certificate works.
  • wat about sc mine was issued in 2004.should i get it renewed
  • SC/ST certificates remain valid from the date of it's issuance while OBC certificate has to be updated on periodic basis because of the creamy layer clause.

    While UPSC remains extremely cool with regards documents up till Mains stage, it's advisable that one gets the certificate for it has to be produced anyhow during interview.
  • wat about sc mine was issued in 2004.should i get it renewed

    SC/ST wont be having much issues . But Parliament some time add or remove certain castes from OBC's list .. Any way 2-3 years old certificate can be used with ease if the particular caste has not got any renewal ..

    I think beyond that get a new one --> I meant this for OBC candidates only..

    parliament only amend presidential order specifying sc/st in order to include or exclude certain caste or tribes from respective list.obcs inclusion/ exclusion is done by executive itself on basis of ncbc recommendation

  • So, that means I need to get a new OBC certificate from Tehsidlar in our area.

    So, can someone tell me or give link to valid format of OBC certificate accepted by UPSC?
