When i was 17 years old & studying in My Graduation ,I applied for an Income Certificate in my Name.
The Income Certificate was issued but they Mentioned my Mother as a housewife, In reality she is a Government Servant
I never told or gave any details about my mother to the concerned Lekhpal
I only applied for income certificate in my Name with my details
I applied for it because my mother is a widow and was undergoing treatment for Cancer Disease & i was not taking money for my fees from her
The Certificate issuing authority issued the certificate with the Applicant being me but also mentioned my mother as a Housewife
I availed scholarship on the basis of that certificate throughout my course
Then in my future studies i never used that Certificate.
Query i wanted to know is
If i got a Government job in Future
Will i be terminated if someone complained about that certificate ?
Will i be prosecuted or exonerated if i chose to pay full scholarship fee back with Annual Intrest ?
Is there any remedy for me for my above misconduct ?
