Studying or employment in a British School or abroad do not change the caste of a person, which is "by-birth" in a particular caste and his children can claim it.

What s the legal process to get caste certificate after conversion to budhism to SC status

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 08 July 2018
you nowhere stated whether the person actually belonged to any cast
you nowhere stated from which religion he converted to Buddhism.

You yourself stated that children belong to BCC. How? Are they trying any fraudulent certificate.

please be clear with facts.

There is no community which could be legally identified as Dalit Christian.

One father belongs to Christian dalit, BCC category, aged about 66 yrs, studied in Christian missionaries schools in India. In 2015 he joined in budhism only for getting status of SC reservation to his children. In 2016 he died. All his children belongs to BCC category as per their educational records. But now by showing conversion certificate into budhism all children trying to get SC status. Is it legal ?

SC is allowed benefits on conversion to sikhism /Buddhism because these Religions are of Indian Origin .

Discuss wiyj senior Priests in concerned Buddhist Mandir and Local Advocate regarding conversion formalities and procedures. Gazette Notification and News Paper advt regarding it would be mandatory.

It appears there are deeper facts. Please post complete facts.

All the more, the aspect that the father studied in Christian Missionary Schools is not all relevant or material to the issue under discussion.
