Dear aspirant

It is correct, your father name and his actual income should be mentioned on the income certificate.Income certificate document serves as a proof of annual income of a person or family. As you are student so you have to show your father's income certificate in any exam/counselling. It should be recently issued because every year income certificate change according to your father income.so it's valid for just one financial year.

Some of uses of income certificate for students are

• To avail fee concession in an education institution, income certificate need to be furnished
• Income certificate is an important document to obtain a student loan from banks and financial organization
• Income certificate may be necessary at the time of admission in school
• For securing seats in the quota reserved in educational institutions, income certificate has to be submitted.

Hope this information helps you

All the best!!
