Who this is for

Students and families stuck on caste, income, or EWS certificates.

Real life (simple)

  • Income certificate is stuck. Agent says “₹2,000 and same-day”.
  • Real-life move: refuse. Track the application number. RTI for status. Use the state certificate grievance path.

What to do (step by step)

  1. Apply on the state service portal where available and save the application ID.
  2. Submit only listed documents. Ask for a deficiency memo in writing if something is missing.
  3. Visit the tehsil / revenue office with the application printout.
  4. If someone asks for cash, refuse and note the details.
  5. Escalate to the District Magistrate grievance cell.
  6. Use RTI for file status and CPGRAMS if the delay continues.

Tips

  • Keep written proof.
  • Ask for acknowledgement numbers.
  • Escalate if there is silence.

Warnings

  • Do not use violence.
  • Do not send private files to Trishola. Stay on official portals.
