Reservation of Schedule Caste

Dear Sir,

The Supreme Court of India has laid down clear principles in multiple judgments (notably Marri Chandra Shekhar Rao v. Dean, Seth G.S. Medical College and Action Committee on SC/ST v. Union of India):

Scheduled Caste status is state-specific.
A person can claim SC reservation only in the state where their caste is listed as SC and where they are domiciled.

Dear Client,
The central government and state governments maintain separate lists of castes eligible for reservation benefits. A state caste certificate is only valid within the state where it is issued, while a central caste certificate is valid throughout India. A caste certificate issued by the Executive Magistrate of Delhi, even if valid for state-level reservations, may not be eligible for central government reservations if the caste is not listed in the Central List of Scheduled Castes (SC) for Delhi. If you have a birth certificate from Uttar Pradesh, you can apply for a caste certificate from Uttar Pradesh, attaching an affidavit explaining the reason behind your application for the issue of a caste certificate from UP, but it depends on the decision of the State Level Caste Scrutiny Committee. For more information, you may contact or visit the office of the said committee.
