Dear Pratyaksh Kumar
Thank you for your query! I am Devaki, and I will try to answer your query.
In short, YES, you can have two caste certificates. But, one certificate has to be a Migrant OBC certificate and the other caste certificate from your origin state (Domicile State)
According to The Ministry of Welfare Letter No.12011/11/94-BCC(C), dated the 8th April 1994, to the Chief Secretaries of all States/UTs,
- An OBC certificate may be granted to the individual by the prescribed authority (designated official body) of the state or territory to which they have migrated. This depends on them being able to show a genuine OBC certificate that their father received from the appropriate state or UT of origin. Your migrant OBC certificate could have been issued on the basis of your father's OBC certificate from UP.
- Nonetheless, the prescribed authority may wait to provide the certificate if they believe a thorough investigation from the state of origin is required.
- The ability to get an OBC certificate from the migrated state or UT using the father's certificate does not alter the individual's overall OBC status with respect to either their new or origin state or UT. Your status of OBC in UP will not be changed as you have a migrant OBC certificate.
- You have migrated from your home state (UP) to another state (Delhi) where your caste is not recognised as OBC, but you're still eligible for OBC benefits and concessions from both the central (Union) government and your home state or territory.
Therefore, it is legal to have a migrant OBC certificate (Delhi) and an OBC certificate from your origin state (UP).
I hope this helps. Thank you for your time and patience!
Regards,
Devaki
