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.

DiskhaSharma One of my friends got rejected because of the Expired Caste/ EWS/ OBC(non-creamy layer)certificate.

HrithikRao

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.

As we all know application has been opened by SSC for CGL 2022 exam. There’s a lot of confusion regarding the format and validity date of the caste and EWS certificates and also about the empowered authority to issue the certificates. Following are the major points that you must know that will clear the doubts-

The format for the SC/ST, OBC, EWS and person with disability certificates is in the official notification and that must be followed.
Empowered Authorities to issue the certificates are-

(i) District Magistrate/Additional District Magistrate/Collector/Deputy Commissioner/Additional Deputy Commissioner/Dy.Collector/Ist Class Stipendiary Magistrate/Sub-Divisional Magistrate/Extra-Assistant Commissioner/Taluka Magistrate/Executive Magistrate.

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

(iii) Revenue Officers not below the rank of Tehsildar.

(iv) Sub-Divisional Officers of the area where the candidate and/or his family normally resides.

And the date of issue of the certificate to be valid must be before the last date of application i.e. 08/10/2022.

1- What are your thoughts about this change in caste certificate format?

2- Will this make application process hassle-free?
