Father's detail on caste certificate portal (in case of divorce)

Hello community, I am applying for Caste Certificate (OBC) from Saral Haryana Portal. It requires my family ID. It also asks for the family IDs of my parents but since they are divorced they have different family IDs.

The online portal provided with two option i.e. either the parents are alive or dead and then asks for their respective incomes. I want to include my mother only as a parent and guardian. Also I cannot fetch my father's family ID and neither I want to include his details (income etc) in my form. The form filling assistant suggested to show my father's status as dead. But it requires death certificate and all related stuff.

What should I do?

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the challenge of applying for an OBC Caste Certificate via the Saral Haryana portal when parents are divorced. The applicant needs to input family IDs but cannot easily exclude the father's details, even if the mother is the sole guardian. Advice suggests that omitting a living father's information might be considered fraudulent and could lead to future complications. The consensus is that the father's details are likely mandatory, regardless of the divorce.

you cannot suppress the fact of your father in the applicaiton for OBC certificate.

The divorce was between your father and mother, you still remain his biological son hence you cannot ignore the inclusion of the details of your father which is mandatory.

Do not take the route of any fraudulent method which will spoil your entire career.

Your mother may be a single parent, but your father is alive hence you need to furnish his particulars .

If you want to avoid your father's details then you may have to indulge in any illegal method which will bring disaster to your future or career if found guilty at a later stage
