Validity of community certificate

manjari (Querist) 25 October 2012 This query is : Resolved
Iam 32 yrs old and have been selected for a government bank job. I belong to SC - arundhathiyar communtiy. I already had a community certificate - life card got by my father 20 years back. Now, the bank requires a community certificate in a format accepted by central government and not the one which i already hold. So i went to the taluk office of my residential area, with my original caste certificate. But the officials there asked for my father's original community certificate, or his relatives certificates and my college TC original showing my caste and community etc. The problem arised only here as my father and mother were legally divorced 20 yrs back and i do not know my father's whereabouts. And my father belonged to SC(A) but my mother is FC - Brahmin. I was raised under my mother's care after their separation but i have been studying under SC(A) tag in my school and college as per my father's wish. My school TC the original of which i submitted in college has my caste and community names as i was studying in my school with the same community as my father from my kinder garden. But my college TC does not have that column at all, as they dont include it in any TCs. So i dont have TC original showing caste and community, but school TC xerox has the caste details. We do not have contact with any of my father's relatives and do not know where they reside now. So in this circumstance, does that make me not eligible to get a caste certificate and does my existing caste certificate not a valid one, since i cannot prove its being. Also they say documents relating to community certificates are destroyed in 10 years of its issuance. My life card was bought in 1993, with a note on top, stating 10yrs, so will the taluk not have any proofs or records of my community certificates or with what proofs my father got the certificates? Even if they admit my existing caste certificatre at initial stage will the DVAC verification made later will not show any proofs of my caste background and in such case If i join the government service will they say i do not belong to that community and will i be ripped of my job?
