As much I know, no candidate has been disqualified during SSC verification to date unless falsified documents are discovered during cross-checking/verification.
If a discrepancy is discovered in any document or required document that has not been submitted or is not in accordance with the prescribed format/guidelines, the competent authority will require you to sign a declaration stating the time limit within which you must submit the requested documents as soon as possible.
SSC CGL - Information Bulletin
DiskhaSharma One of my friends got rejected because of the Expired Caste/ EWS/ OBC(non-creamy layer)certificate.
- Edited
DiskhaSharma One of my cousin got rejected because the issue date of all the document uploaded before downloading E-admit card for Stage-II was after the closing date of application. You must be careful about this.
When checking documents, the deviation is almost zero. However, when the department re-checked the documents, some applicants were fired on fake diplomas.

(ii) Chief Presidency Magistrate/Additional Chief Presidency Magistrate/Presidency Magistrate.
