OBC Certificate Mandate
A Guide to Revalidation & Re-issuance in West Bengal
Why is this Necessary?
The Backward Classes Welfare Department has updated the state's OBC list. This new process ensures that only eligible Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) candidates can access reservation benefits for central-level employment and education, maintaining the integrity of the system.
Validate NCL Status: Confirms ongoing eligibility for central benefits.
Update Records: Aligns certificates with the latest official OBC list.
Ensure Fairness: Guarantees benefits are correctly allocated to intended recipients.
