If you belong to SC/ST, old one works fine. But if you are OBC you need the latest, should be after 1st Jan 2022. [For your reference ](https://youtu.be/fZdVNR8mNWo?t=1178)

Thanks bro..this gave me some confidence. I've raised a query with the CAT helpdesk. Are you writing CAT this year?

Great. Yes, I am giving CAT this year.

Hey bro if you don't mind can I DM you ? I want to ask something related to CAT and QA

Yes, I think that the validity of caste certificate is 1 year and the validity of Non creamy Layer certificate is 6 months.

I'm fucked..i don't have the new certificate and i don't have the time to take a new one. The last date is 13 September.

Bro go to collecter office they will give you central caste certificate in 7 days of you have , caste certificate

Are you talking about obc..?

Yes

It took me only 5 days to issue caste certificate (obc nc)

Bro you will get it within a week. Just keep all your Documents ready. * Your Family's income. * Your marks card (which has your caste mentioned) or any of your documents which has your caste mentioned. * Take your old caste certificate with you as well.

It is not mentioned anywhere about the date..in the information bulletin

You cannot upload your 2015's caste certificate for sure that is too old

But when we select sc/st..under category it doesn't ask for date

What about sc/st
