Caste Certificate For First Generation
08-May-2025 (In Civil Law)
I live in West Bengal. My current surname is karmakar. My paternal relative lives in Ranchi, Jharkhand and their surname is kerketta and have st certificate from Ranchi deputy commissioner Jharkhand .My father came to west Bengal from Jharkhand for service of railway and his name is recorded as Bhokna and no surname in all the important documents . My father have no caste certificate. My question is how and where should I approach for caste certificate.
To apply for a caste certificate in West Bengal, you must approach your local Block Development Office (BDO), Sub-Divisional Office (SDO), or Municipality office. Since your father doesn’t have a caste certificate, you will need to submit proof of caste from paternal relatives—such as your relatives’ caste certificates from Ranchi—and any documentary evidence that shows your connection to them (like a family tree affidavit or a notary-certified declaration). Also, provide residence proof and ID documents. Mentioning your father’s employment history and migration from Jharkhand can help establish your caste lineage. It is advisable to apply online via the West Bengal e-district portal or visit the concerned office directly and any further discussion kindly contact me.
