9 months ago

Dear sir/ma’am,
My current surname as per documents is RAO which comes under OBC in Rajasthan but I was born in Gujarat , However my Parents/ Grandparents used the surname BAROT which comes OBC in Gujarat

Now I am preparing for UPSC and I want to apply as OBC candidate but my surname RAO doesn’t fall under OBC in Gujarat and my LC , Aadhar card have RAO surname

My parents have documents that still have BAROT as surname , is there a procedure to a OBC certificate or I will have to change my surname on all documents first

Please help me in getting clarity on this matter and ways in which I can apply as OBC candidate for UPSC without getting any problems.

A.Dear Client,
A classification caste of any person is determined on the basis of a caste certificate from the paternal side of the person. If the father or paternal relatives belong to OBC Category the person can apply for an OBC certificate from the competent authority showing his father's documents. When your surname does not fall under the category of OBC, you need to correct your surname in all your documents to make yourself eligible for an OBC certificate on the basis of your father's caste certificate. For correction in your surname, you need to start with your Birth Certificate issued under the Registration of Births and Deaths, Act 1969, and if no correction is needed in surname in your Birth Certificate, you can apply for correction in School and respective Education Board certificate and thereafter you can be able to seek for amendment/correction of surname in all the statutory records like Aadhar Card, EPIC, PAN etc and accordingly you can make yourself eligible to apply for OBC Caste certificate from the competent authority. You need to visit the office of the caste certificate issuing authority, like SDM/DM/Tehashildar etc for further clarification before taking any steps for correction of your surname for the purpose.
