NEW DELHI: There may be no need for production of multiple non-creamy layer certificates for candidates belonging to Other Backward Class (OBC) seeking reservation in Government jobs and instead they can provide self-attested photocopy of such documents, as per new rules being considered by the Centre.
Every candidate seeking reservation in Central Government posts and services as OBC candidate is required to submit a certificate confirming his or her status and also produce non-creamy layer status certificate.
“The appointing authorities would accept production of self-attested photo copy of the non-creamy layer certificate, subject to verification of the original non-creamy layer certificate, as is the practice being followed for verification of other original documents,” the Personnel Ministry has proposed.
It has sought comments from the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Department of Higher Education, Union Public Service Commission and Staff Selection Commission on this proposal. (AGENCIES)
