Sir/ Madam,
I am directed to refer to DoPT’s letter no. 36022/ 1/2007 – Estt. (Res) dated 20.3.2007 addressed to Chief Secretaries of all States/UTs regarding streamlining of the process for verification of claims of candidates belonging Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. It was also requested to issue instructions to District magistrates/District Collectors/ Deputy Commissioners to ensure at their own level the veracity of caste certificates so that unscrupulous non-SC/ST/OBC persons are prevented from securing jobs meant for SCs/STs/OBCs by producing false certificates.
2. DoPT, vide its OM of even number dated 8.10.2015, had re-iterated the aforesaid instructions to all Ministries/Departments owing to the difficulties faced by candidates belonging to reserved communities in securing employment due to delays in obtaining caste certificates. A copy of the OM is enclosed for your reference and perusal. It is requested that similar instructions be reiterated at your level to the concerned authorities for the benefit of reserved communities so as to complete the caste verification strictly within the stipulated time while maintaining the genuineness in the proceedings. Disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against officers who default in timely verification of caste status in such cases or issue false certificates.
Yours faithfully,
