Earlier an original certificate was required for every application. Caste certificates are
issued to the SC, ST, BC and OBC categories. This certificate is used for education and employment
purpose. Certificate is issued based on the revenue enquiry. This information can be obtained from
the MPHS database. Nativity and Residency certificates are being issued by MRO. This certificate is
used for the purpose of education, passport, and issue of Ration card. The person who requires the
certificate applies to the MRO. The MRO marks it to the RI for verification. The verification is done
by Panchayat Secretary and crosschecked by RI. After verification the Certificate is issued by MRO.
The details of the certificates are maintained in the form of a register. A separate register is
maintained for each type of certificate. This information can be obtained from the MPHS database.
Now a i ntegrated Certi fi cate is being issued for Caste, Date of Birth and Nativity, thus reducing
a lot of extra work. In G.O.M.S.No. 272 Revenue (Ser. III) Department, dt.14-3-96, Govt. have issued

Etensi on of benefi ts of the Chi l dren born of I nter - Caste Marri ages:
Government sanctioned incentives and non-Statutory educational concessions like
Scholarships, Hostel facilities, fee concessions etc., to the Children born of inter-caste marriages
on the basis of the caste of either of the parent which is beneficial to the child [G.O.Ms.No.371 EMP
& SW B2/Dept. dated 13-4-76].
Status of Chi l dren born to the I nter-caste marri ed coupl e one of hom bel ongs to
Schedul ed Caste / Schedul ed Tri be.
The crucial test to determine the caste of a child born out of wedlock in which one of the
spouses belongs to SC/ST community as a member of their community is, to determine whether
the child has been brought up and accepted as SC/ST as member of their SC/ST community. Even if
a mother of the child is a SC/ST community member, it is possible that the community of his father
accepts the child and brought up in the surroundings of his fathers relations. In that case such
child cannot be treated as a member of SC/ST community. Similarly when the mother belongs to
higher caste and the father belongs to lower caste irrespective of the fact whether the mother or
father is a member of such community then he has to be treated as a member of SC/ST community
and would be entitled to receive benefits as such.
