FAQ On West Bengal Caste Certificate

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Backward Classes Welfare Department,West Bengal Caste Certificate

1) What is a Caste Certificate and Why is it Needed ?
A Caste Certificate is the proof of one’s belonging to a particular caste like SC/ST/OBC, as specified in the Indian Constitution. The Government felt that the Scheduled Castes and Tribes need special encouragement and opportunities to progress at the same pace as the rest of the citizenry.

As a result, as part of the Indian system of Protective Discrimination, there exist certain special privileges granted to this category of citizens, such as reservation of seats in the Legislatures and in the Government Service, waiving off a part or the whole of the fees for admission to schools and colleges, quotas in educational institutions, relaxation of upper age limits for applying to certain jobs, etc.

To be able to avail these privileges, a citizen belonging to a Scheduled Caste must be in possession of a valid Caste Certificate.

2) What is the Legal Framework ?
The statutory lists of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes, in pursuance of Articles 341 and 342 of the Indian Constitution, were notified for the first time under the Constitution (Schedule Castes) Order, 1950 and the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950.

These lists have been modified/amended/supplemented from time to time. On the reorganisation of the States, the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes List (Modification) Order came into force from 29th October, 1956.

Thereafter, a few other orders in respect of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes list in some individual States also came into force.

3) What You Need to Do to Get a Caste Certificate ?
A person belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes has to apply to the designated authority, i.e., Sub-Divisional Officer of the area where the applicant resides permanently. The Designated Authority will issue the certificate after verification of the claim of the applicant.

The application forms are available from the concerned Sub-Divisional Magistrate or of the Tehsil or Block office. In case none of your family members have earlier been issued a Caste Certificate, a local enquiry is conducted before issuing the Certificate to you.

Proof of residence in the State for a minimum specified period, an affidavit stating to belong to a Scheduled Caste, and the specified court stamp fee are required at the time of application.

4) What is Creamy Layer ?
The Government of India has evolved the criteria for exclusion of certain socially advanced persons/sections from the benefits of reservation available to OBCs in civil posts and services under the Government of India and this is called the “Creamy Layer criteria.

5) Whether backward sections of the religious minorities are also eligible for Inclusion in the lists of OBCs ?
The central lists of OBCs issued by the Government of India for different States and Union Territories do contain entries relating to sections of religious minorities. When a caste/community or group is included in the lists, it is included irrespective of the religion or denomination followed by the members of that caste/community or group.

6) What is the status of Scheduled Caste /Scheduled Tribe with regard to religion ?
As per orders issued, only persons professing either Hindu or Sikh or Buddhist religion are deemed to be members of Scheduled Caste. The Scheduled Tribe may profess any religion.
