This query is : Resolved
Sir,
I have joined Central government service, last 5 years back claiming OBC as my caste in Tamilnadu as BC.
My grandfather migrated from Kerala to Tamilanadu last 40 years back. In Kerala my grand father was ST and he lost the ST caste certificate proofs. Last one year back my father found One Xerox copy (Proof of Document) as my grandfather belonging to ST.
Due to lack of proof of documents, after expiry of my grand father, my father enrolled as BC in Tamilanadu during 1970s, so that, I have claimed BC Status and got the Central Govt Employment. Now my father approaching the MRO in Kerala and claiming ST Status. In this case, how to protect myself as I have not submitted any false caste certificate to Govt Authorities.
Kindly suggest.
Lavanya.

Not necessary.You have already joined on the basis of OBC certificate obtained from competent Authority.If at all you conversion as ST, you have to apply again with documentary proof.

If you want to apply for recognition of ST caste you have got to apply again showing the ST certificate xerox copy of your deceased grand farther.

Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your reply and my doubt is by obtaining ST Certificate at present, is there any effect to my present employment or what I should do.
Please suggest.

Scheduled Tribe status is because of the locality, not the caste or the religion. When you have already moved away from the place, the claim for status as ST is unjustified.
