This discussion highlights a significant delay in obtaining an OBC NCL certificate in Telangana, despite a timely application and all necessary documents being provided. The applicant, Shubham Sharma, faces rejection due to surname and perceived origin, even though his family has resided in Telangana for 15 years and all his documentation is from the state. Suggested solutions include filing an RTI request, appealing to the District Collector, complaining to the National Commission of Backward Classes (NCBC), or approaching the High Court.
