Hey Aspirant,

A community certificate certifies that a person belongs to a particular minority community like Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and other Backward Classes. Community certificate issued by the State Governments concerned is also known as caste certificate.

Only difference is, community certificate used only inside your state’s employment and education purpose. But if you’re applying for national level government educational institutes or central government employment only OBC is valid.

Hope this will help you.
