Understanding Caste, Income & Domicile Certificates

These three certificates are crucial documents issued by the State Government of Chhattisgarh through its Revenue Department and other designated authorities. They serve various purposes for citizens:

  • Caste Certificate : Essential for individuals belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC) to avail reservations in education, employment, and government schemes.
  • Income Certificate : Provides proof of a family's annual income from all sources. It's required for scholarships, economic weaker section (EWS) benefits, subsidies, and various welfare schemes.
  • Domicile / Residence Certificate or "Track Application Status." This link is usually prominent on the main page. A direct link is often: https://cgedistrict.cgstate.gov.in/workflow/trackAppStatus.html
