what is community certificate

A community certificate is a document that indicates membership in a particular community to prove that a person belongs to a specific caste. It is also referred to as a caste certificate by the government. The certificate is essential for the documentation of individuals who do not fall within the General category and is just as important as a bonafide certificate. The state government is responsible for providing community certificates, and they are mostly required by students in India as proof of community. The major reserved categories in India such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Castes need to prove community. People from these categories hold special privileges, including a reservation of seats in major government jobs like RBI, railway exams, bank exams, and jobs.
