*Please delete the words which are not applicable.
@Strike out whichever is not applicable.
NOTE: The term “Ordinarily reside(s)” used here will have the same meaning as in Section 20 of the
Representation of the People Act, 1950.
**Authorities empowered to issue Other Backward Classes certificate will be the same as those
empowered to issue Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe certificates.
Note 1: Candidates claiming to belong to OBCs should note that the name of their caste (including its
spellings) as indicated in their certificates, should be exactly the same as published in the lists notified by
the Central Government from time to time. A certificate containing any variation in the caste name will
not be accepted.
Note 2: The OBC claim of a candidate will be determined in relation to the State (or part of the State)
to which his/her father originally belongs. A candidate who has migrated from one state (or part of the
State) to another should, therefore, produce an OBC certificate which should have been issued to
him/her based on his father’s OBC certificate from the State to which he (father) originally belongs.
Note 3: No change in the community status already indicated by a candidate in his/her simplified
application form for this examination will ordinarily be allowed by the Commission.
