With reference to above this to intimate that the Government of India’s Memo No. 35/1/72-R.U. (SCT.V) dated 2nd May, 1975 incorporating (in Para-5) the procedure of issuing Caste Certificates to the adopted sons and daughters of different persons belonging to SC/ST category can be applied mutatis mutandis in case of granting of OBC Certificates to the adopted sons and daughters of the parents belonging to OBC category.
In fact the Memo No. 374-TW-EC dated 27th July, 1994 is somewhat explicit in this matter.
The cases of granting Caste Certificate to the adopted children of OBC parents may be dealt with accordingly.
Yours faithfully,
