I’m a married woman from Tamil Nadu preparing for bank exams. I need an OBC certificate, but my name was removed from my father’s ration card and added to my in-laws’. Officials in my father’s village won’t issue the certificate because my name is not on his ration card. What should I do to get the certificate?

You can apply for an OBC certificate based on your father’s caste, even if your name is not on his ration card. Submit a supporting affidavit from your father stating your caste and relationship, along with your marriage certificate. If required, you can also file a representation with the concerned authorities to explain the situation and seek the certificate.
