Applicants from the Backward/Scheduled Caste category applying for gazette positions in Maharashtra are required to upload an attested scanned copy of the caste certificate under their old name, issued by the collector of the respective district/Tahsildar as identity proof.

The designated backward classes include Scheduled Tribes, Vimukta Jatis, Nomadic Tribes, Navbuddhas, Tribals outside the specified areas of Vidarbha, Scheduled Castes, and Special Other Backward Classes, while other backward classes are not eligible for concessions.

For minors (below 18 years) belonging to the Backward/Scheduled Caste category, the submission of an attested scanned copy of the father’s caste certificate under the old name, issued by the collector of the district/Tahsildar, is required.

✅Is State Gazette Enough Or do I need to make a Central Gazette only?

A state or central gazette notification is generally sufficient for a name change to be legally recognized across India. The central gazette is recognized nationwide, while a state gazette is usually valid within that specific state. However, for official purposes or legal documents that require national recognition, the central gazette is often preferred. Both types of notifications ensure that your name change is reflected in official records.

Legal Recognition: Both state and central gazette notifications provide legal recognition of a name change. The central gazette is recognized throughout India, making it more universally accepted for national-level documentation,
State Gazette: A state gazette notification is usually sufficient for local purposes within the state, such as updating names on state-issued documents (e.g., driving license, Passport, State board certificates, or local bank accounts also in pan and adhar corrections. However, its acceptance may vary for national-level documentation.
Central Gazette: The central gazette is preferred for matters that require national recognition, such as when applying for Central government jobs, or any process involving central government agencies. It’s also useful for those who might relocate to another state or need a universally recognized document.
Institutional Requirements: Some institutions and organizations specifically require a central gazette notification for processing name changes, especially if the document in question will be used outside the state or for official government records.
Cost and Time: Publishing in the central gazette may be more expensive and time-consuming compared to the state gazette. However, the central gazette offers broader acceptance, which might justify the additional cost and effort.
