How to get Caste Certificate through Meeseva :

Getting Meeseva certificate is a pretty complex process if none of your family members have a caste certificate. If any of your family members have a caste certificate, it will be easy as you probably belong to same caste as that of your family member. Incase a certificate is already issued earlier, a copy of the Certificate need to be attached along with the application. Based on the documents attached the required Certificate is issued to the applicant in 2-3 days. There is no need for verification other than this. Where doubts arise, incase of BC certificates and converted Christian, an affidavit from the applicant is required to issue the Certificate. There will be delay in issuing a certificate in case of doubts. An integrated birth, caste and nativity certificate is being issued to applicants in the State, which is very useful to the people for all purposes.

Applying At Meeseva Center:

Get to the nearest Meeseva center and provide all the above enclosures to the operator. He will go through above enclosures to make sure you have sufficient documentation to prove you belong to a certain community. He will apply online and fill all the fields as you mentioned in application form (Note: Make sure you’ve written Name, Fathers Name, Date Of Birth, Address, Phone Number correctly). After he fills up application online, once check the details he typed. Meeseva opertators often tend to mistype something so, make sure you check out application form once he types in. He will then attach scanned copies of above enclosures and upload them online. Finally, He submits application and hands out the receipt to you. This will cost you around 50₹/- at the minimum. Though the original cost is around 35₹/-, Operators will ask you a bit more for scanning all the papers.The receipt has Transaction ID and Application Number. Donot throw it any where. It is essential till the time you get your certificate. As the receipt states, It takes normally 30 days to get the certificate. If you have need it urgently go to nearest Mandal Revenue Office with above all enclosures and request them stating the reason and follow below process. (NOTE: Write your Application Number And Transaction ID as given on Meeseva Receipt  Over Application Form.) 

I Personally recommend everyone to go to Mandal Revenue Office because, Assistants,Junior Assistants,RI’s there in the office do not have personal individual computers to look into scanned documents you submitted through Meeseva. Those scanned documents are saved over a state level data center for future purposes. Last time when i went there , there was a single computer with an operator there So, Go through traditional process. No matter how technological advanced govt. things become, People there dont seem adapt to new things. Govt. also has to be blamed for not providing individual PC’s. When they planned on making these sort of things online they must also provide enough technical and hardware stuff to respective offices.***)

Visit Your Mandal Revenue Office:

After going inside Mandal Revenue Office, Find Caste Certificates section . First of all request and state your reason. If he/she accepts it, hand out above enclosures and the assistant checks everything and then writes something over your application form stating that the documentation you provided is true. Your work is now done.

BEHIND THE PROCESS THINGS:

After the assistant writes something over your application form. It is forwarded to Junior Assistant and then to RI. Revenue inspector verifies and certifies the applicant and these enclosures will be enclosed along with the application and submits it in MRO Office. The MRO also signs it and forwards it to computer operator. The computer operator then types in your application number you provided, accepts it and digitally signs with M.R.O Signature.
