Hi.

According to JOSAA rules, Income Tax Certificate is not a mandatory document required at the time of counselling.

However, take care of the following:

• Certificate of category (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/GEN-EWS), if applicable, as per Government

of India format, available on the JoSAA-2021 website, issued by the competent authority.

• In case of OBC-NCL/GEN-EWS category, the certificate must be issued on or after April 01, 2021.

Please note that

• Caste certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL) issued by Maharashtra State must be validated by Social Welfare department (in case of SC and OBC-NCL category) and Tribal Welfare department (incase of ST category) of Maharashtra Government.
• The SC/ST/OBC-NCL candidates of Maharashtra State have to produce their caste validity certificate in the format available on JoSAA-2021 website.
• ST certificates from Tamil Nadu state must be issued by the concerned Revenue Divisional Officer

Good Luck
