Hello,

Yes, Tanuj you are going to need the Caste Validity certificate as will along with OBC certificate. The fact is if you're having a Caste certificate (OBC NCL) issued before today, before April 1st, 2021 then you have to apply for other cate certificate. It is clearly mentioned that you're going to need OBC NCL Certificate issued on or after April 1st. If you don't have the certificate now then apply for it. Caste Validity certificate is mandatory. If you don't have it now, you might use the receiving of your certificate. The caste Validity certificate comes with a validity period of 3 years. I hope you have Understood. You can apply for your certificate online, since you are a Domicile of MP you must visit http://mp.edistrict.gov.in

and apply it by yourself.

Good Luck.
