Jammu & Kashmir SC/ST Certificate Application Guide - Summary
Jammu & Kashmir SC/ST certificate guide is a 3-page independent compilation that explains how to get an income certificate and a Scheduled Caste / Scheduled Tribe certificate in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir. The old 2-page “Income Certificate Form of Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribes” PDF on jk.gov.in is no longer reachable because the state portal host is down, so this guide records the current official route instead.
How to apply for the certificates
The Revenue Department issues an income certificate through the Tehsildar or the Assistant Commissioner Revenue. The Tehsildar issues SC/ST caste certificates under S.R.O 126, and the Deputy Commissioner is the appellate authority. Applications go online on the eUNNAT portal or the ServicePlus service catalogue, or by hand at the tehsil office.
Documents to keep ready
The district service pages list these for the certificate applications:
- Prescribed application form from the tehsil office or the online portal
- Permanent resident certificate or domicile certificate
- Jamabandi, Girdawari or Shajra Nasab extract, electoral roll copy or ration card as residence proof
- Income proof such as a salary certificate
Steps to apply online
STEP 1 – Register on the eUNNAT portal with your mobile number and log in.
