A.Dear Sir,
Yes, you can file a application to issue caste certificate by enclosing the caste certificate of your mother. The concerned authorities may enquire about caste of your mother and then issue a caste certificate accordingly.

A.Hi,
Yes, it is possible. The Bombay High Court recently held, children from intercaste marriages can take on their mother’s caste. The court said society must give up ‘ancient’ notions of gender discrimination and instead, treat women and men equally.

A.Hi,
Yes it is possible to change to your mother's caste. You can give an application to the district caste scrutiny committee, seeking to use the caste of your mother and submit the relevant documents.
