How to use it

  1. Fill in the applicant's details and the caste as it is spelled on the older family records, not as you would spell it today.
  2. Name the pre-1950 document you are relying on and where it is held. That entry is what the committee is really examining.
  3. Fill in the three generations at the bottom — the genealogy is part of this form.
  4. Print on stamp paper, sign before a notary, and file it with the caste certificate application.

Questions about this tool

What is Form-3?

The affidavit filed with an application for a caste certificate under the Maharashtra caste certificate rules. The applicant swears to the caste, to the ordinary place of residence of the family, and to the genealogy.

Why does 1950 matter?

Caste claims are traced to the position as it stood when the Presidential Orders listed the castes and tribes. A document from before that date, showing the family living in the area and recording the caste, is the strongest evidence there is.

Which old document should I name?

Whatever genuinely exists — a school admission register entry, a kotwal book entry, an old 7/12 or hakka patrak, a birth register. The office of the record matters as much as the record: name where it is held so the committee can call for it.

Do I still need a separate family tree?

This form carries a short genealogy. Committees often also ask for the full attested वंशावळ — the family tree maker produces that.
