Quick Summary

If you are Marathi, live and study in Surat, and have a Scheduled Caste certificate from Maharashtra, you may face issues using it in Gujarat. Caste certificates are generally valid only in your home state for reservation benefits. While a caste certificate from one state is valid across India for central government purposes, using it for state-level benefits or government examinations in another state requires domicile in that same state. Your 1975 LC might be a starting point, but you'll likely need to visit the Tehsil office in Gujarat to confirm eligibility and obtain a local certificate if required.

The caste certificate issued by any State is valid across India (subject to eligibility) for reservation benefits of the Central and State governments.
Caste certificate of one state and domicile of another state for government examinations is not valid because the list of Castes is State specific. As such a member of SC/ST/OBC is eligible for benefits in his state of origin only. A member of Backward Community, who migrates to other State is not entitled to get benefits, from the state of migration.

Moreover, there are cases where your caste may be considered as OBC/SC/ST in your home state, but in the migrated state it might not be considered as part of a backward community. So it is better to give caste certificate and domicile of the same state that is either your home state or migrated state.

Have you been restricted to use this caste certificate for your career purpose, if so what is the problem that you face now, instead of explaining problem, you are giving only a piecemeal irrelevant information, to which no further opinion can be rendered.

As advised by expert Mr. T Kalaiselvan the caste certificate issued by home state is for restricted use there only which may not be acceptable in other state(s).
