SUBMISSION OF FAKE CASTE CERTIFICATES
Instructions were issued by Department of Personnel and
Training on 01.06.2017 to all Ministries/Departments to collect information
about appointments made on the basis of fake/ false caste certificates and
follow up action taken thereon. The Ministries/Departments have been requested
to collect information from all Organisations under their administrative
control about the cases where the candidates got/alleged to have got
appointment against vacancies reserved for Scheduled Cates, Scheduled Tribes
and Other Backward Classes on the basis of false/fake caste certificate and
send a consolidated report to the Department of Personnel and Training by
15.07.2017. In the response received so far from eight Ministries/Departments,
no such case has been reported.
The extant instructions provide that if it is found that
a Government servant had furnished false information or produced a false
certificate in order to secure appointment, he should not be retained in
service. Thus when an appointing authority comes to know that an employee had
submitted a false/fake caste certificate, it has to initiate action to remove
or dismiss such an employee from service as per the provisions of relevant
Service Rules.
Further, in order to discourage unscrupulous persons
getting benefits through false caste certificates, State Governments/Union
Territories have also been requested to consider issue of appropriate
instructions for initiating disciplinary proceeding against the errant officers
who default in timely verifications of caste certificate or issue false
certificates.
This was stated by the Minister of State (Independent
Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel,
Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh in
written reply to a question by Shri Ram Vichar Netam and Smt. Vijila
Sathyananth in the Rajya Sabha today.
