CHAPTER -8
VERIFICATION OF THE CLAIMS OF SCHEDULED CASTES, SCHEDULED
TRIBES AND OTHER BACKWARD CLASSES
8.1 Any person who claims to belong to a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe or Other Backward Class will have to produce a certificate to the Appointing Authority/Selection Committee/Board etc. in support of his claim so as to make him eligible for reservation and various relaxations and concessions.

8.2 The Caste/Tribe/Community certificate issued by the following authorities in the prescribed
form for SCs/STs and for OBCs will only be accepted as proof in support of a candidate’s claim as
belonging to the Scheduled Caste or the Scheduled Tribe or the Other Backward Class as given in
Annexure-I and Annexure-II
(i) District Magistrate/Additional District Magistrate/Collector /Deputy
Commissioner/Additional Deputy Commissioner/ Deputy Collector/ 1st Class
Stipendary Magistrate/Sub Divisional Magistrate/Taluka Magistrate/Executive
Magistrate/Extra Assistant Commissioner.
(ii) Chief Presidency Magistrate/ Additional Chief Presidency Magistrate/Presidency
Magistrate;
(iii) Revenue Officer not below the rank of Tehsildar; and
(iv) Sub-Divisional Officer of the area where the candidate and/or his family normally
resides.
(O.M.NO.36012/6/88-Estt. (SCT) dated 24.4.1990 and OM No.36012/22/93-Estt(Res) dated
15.11.1993 & OM No. 36011/3/2009-Estt(Res) dated 02.09.2009).

8.3 The appointing authorities should verify the caste status of a Scheduled Caste/ Scheduled
Tribe / Other Backward Class candidate at the time of initial appointment and of an SC/ST officer at
the time of promotion against reserved vacancy also. For this purpose, the caste and the community
to which an SC/ST/OBC person belongs, his place of residence and the name of the State, should be
pasted on the top of his service book, personal file or any other relevant document to facilitate such
verification. It may be noted that a Scheduled Caste person, whose caste has been de-scheduled
after his initial appointment as a Scheduled Caste, is no longer entitled to enjoy the benefit of
reservation in promotions. The verification of caste-status at every important up-turn of employee’s 
career is necessary so that the benefit of reservation and other scheme of concessions etc. should go
only to the rightful claimants and not those who become disentitled to them. (OM No.
36011/3/2005-Estt.(Res) dated 09.09.2005).
8.4 The Appointing Authorities should, in the offer of appointment to the candidates claiming to
belong to Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes/Other Backward Classes include a clause as follows:
“The appointment is provisional and is subject to the Caste/Tribe/Community
certificate being verified through the proper channels and if the verification reveals that
the claim to belong to Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe or Other Backward Class,
as the case may be, is false, the services will be terminated forthwith without assigning
any further reasons and without prejudice to such further action as may be taken under
the provisions of the Indian Penal Code for production of false certificates.” (OM No.
36033/4/97-Estt (Res) dated 25.07.2003 and No.36011/3/2005-Estt.(Res.) dated
09/09/2005.
8.5 An appointing authority may, if it considers necessary for any reason, verify the claim of a
candidate through the District Magistrate of the place where the candidate and/or his family
ordinarily resides. If after appointment in any particular case, the verification reveals that the
candidate’s claim was false his services may be terminated in accordance with the relevant
rules/orders (OM No. 36011/3/2005-Estt.(Res) dated 09.09.2005).
8.6 As no person professing a religion different from the Hinduism or Sikhism or Budhism can
be deemed to be a member of Scheduled Castes, the appointing authorities should stipulate in the
letter of appointment issued to Scheduled Caste candidates that they should inform about the
change, if any, of their religion to their appointing/administrative authority immediately after such a
change. The serving scheduled Caste employees should be instructed to intimate change, if any, in
their religion immediately to their appointing/administrative authorities (OM No. 13/3/71-
Estt.(SCT) dated 10.09.1971)
