Decoding Chhattisgarh Application Status Stages
Understand the exact administrative meaning behind each status stage displayed on the e-District dashboard:
Your online form and enclosures have been successfully uploaded to the central server and routed to the Sub-Divisional / Tehsil revenue office.
The file is assigned to your local Halka Patwari and Revenue Inspector. The Patwari verifies ancestral 1950 Misal/Bhuiyan records, interviews village panchas, and prepares the official Panchnama report.
The Tehsildar has verified the Patwari inquiry report and forwarded the dossier to the Sub-Divisional Officer (Civil), who reviews statutory criteria before applying the electronic digital signature.
The SDO (Civil) has approved your permanent caste certificate. You can immediately download the digitally signed PDF containing the 2D QR barcode or fetch it into DigiLocker.
The scrutiny officer identified missing enclosures (such as unverified Vanshavali or lack of 1950 residency proof). Click on the status link to read the specific objection remark and re-upload the corrected documents within 15 days.
