Frequently Asked Questions: Kerala Status Tracking

In Kerala, under Revenue Department guidelines, a 'Community Certificate' is primarily issued to Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST), as well as for general educational admissions. A 'Caste Certificate' is issued to Other Backward Classes (OBC) and Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) for state employment reservation. For Central Government reservation, a Non-Creamy Layer Certificate is required.
For standard applications, the Village Officer (VO) of your native revenue village is the verifying and issuing authority, issuing the certificate under their official Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). For inter-caste marriages, central formats, or disputed claims, the Tahsildar of the Taluk Office is the competent issuing authority.
Under the Kerala Right to Service Act, 2012, standard Caste and Community Certificates must be issued within 5 to 7 working days from the date of submission. If your application exceeds this statutory limit, you can file an appeal to the designated Appellate Authority (Tahsildar / Sub-Collector).
In Kerala, Community and Caste Certificates issued for general identity and reservation are valid for 3 years. For Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST), community status is permanent. Non-Creamy Layer Certificates (NCLC) issued for OBC and OEC categories are strictly valid for 1 year from the date of issue.
Yes. Citizens without internet access or computers can visit any authorized Akshaya Center.
