Hi,

The District Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee shall take its decision about the Validity of Caste Certificate & issue Validity Certificate within a period of Three months (3 Months) from the submission of application to the respective committee and in exceptional circumstances additional period of two months.

according to govt. Rules..if u belong to obc/sc/St but don't have any valid certificate for that then u will be treated as a general cateogary candidate.

The portal https://etribevalidity.mahaonline.gov.in/ will also show the real-time status of the applications through email and text messages. The unique numbering format will make the identification of fake caste certificates easier.

Hope this helps

Wish you luck
