Hey!

Passing certificate is a permanent certificate issued by CBSE. It specifies that you have successfully completed or passed your class 12th board examinations.
Provisional certificate (or temporary certificate), on the other hand, refers to a temporary certificate till the time original certificate is not obtained. It is usually given by schools. It is issued to students who have passed board examinations but have not been issued passing certificate yet.
Passing certificate, obviously, holds far greater value than provisional certificate.

Hope it helps!
