Sir, I am working in govt . Psu department . I belong to obc category but I apply for this job in application form as general category.I qualified as from general category on merit . During joining as per govt. Of India rules, they gave me to fill an Attestation Form . In this form in point no .10 (b), I was asked that Are you a member of sc/st/Obc ? Give answer in Yes or No. Here I wrote NO. It was bcs I thought that I haven't applied from obc so no need to show my category. now I am totally in doubt that weather i have done write or wrong bcs In my college I have shown myself as OBC and also taken reservation benifits in college. And now in job I am not showing my category. I am afraid because in attestation form it was written that if any information given by you is found wrong or suppressed then your service will be terminated immediately. Please reply that i did wrong or right.?
You have done a great mistake of giving false information.
Immediately inform to your employer about it stating that the mistake was caused inadvertently.
You will certainly run a high risk of losing your job.
Inform here further developments for necessary advice.
You have made false statement that you do not belong to OBC
2) you have claimed benefits of OBC in college
3) your services would not be terminated as you were selected in general category and have not availed OBC reservation
Sir if I have made false statement that i do not belong to obc then is it a suppression of facts .And then on behalf of this false statement will they terminate me ??
Well, you have done wrong but no impact on your job, as you are appointment under general category without any relaxation. It is up to you to either want to benefit of reservation of not.
This is minor issue. It would be suppression of material fact if by hiding this, you would have benefited.
It is suppression of facts but your service would not be terminated at most some disciplinary action would be taken against you
See since you qualified as general category member and you did not intend to use your category in job so stating general there is no harm , as such you should have stated your category correctly but just on this your service cannot be terminated.
No they cannot terminate you merely on this ground. You have not wrongly taken any benefit you applied as general category and mentioned same in form.
Sir if I do not want categorized as obc and want to be in general category as current I am in my department. And don't want to show obc in future also to my department then am.I legally right or wrong ? Please reply sir
You are legally right you joined post as general candidate and your are not taking any illegal benifit so there won't be any issue.
No need to show OBC if you don’t want to avail benefits of reservation
Don`t bother much, nothing will happen.
You can state that it was inadvertently not mentioned.
- The candidates having OBC Status , having two options :
1. He can apply for getting any job on the bais of his caste for reserevation purposes.
2. If , he is not interested to avail the reservation , then he can apply for the General seats after mentioning his caste as General even.
- Since, you do not want to avail the reservation policy for OBC , as you joined your job of general category , it will not impact your service.
- You have not done any thing wrong , and it will not come under the heading of Supression of Facts.
Good luck and dont forget to rating Positively
Law is very clear. A reserved category person can apply for general category post if he desires so. There is no legal issue.
But giving wrong information that you do not belong to reserved category is a violation of service rules.
As I advised you earlier inform the correct information to your employer. If you inform from your own it will not be treated as giving false or wrong information or suppression of material facts but as a mistake. This will completely change the views. It will not have any negative effect on your service.
But you will run the risk of negative effects till you rectify your mistakes.
Suppression of fact is a criminal offence and so living in fear whole life it will be better not to hide the things so out it now.
Since you have not availed any benefits for OBC neither you are having any plans to avail any such benefits in future you may not be worried about not mentioning this.
It is not mandatory in law to mention your religion or caste or sub caste, this provision was created only to facilitate the candidates to avail the benefits pertaining to their respective category, if you are not willing to reveal such details, you cannot be compelled.
This is not considered as false statement.
It will be a false statement only when you would try to avail the benefits now while you have not made a mention about this at the time of recruitment
In any caase it will not cause any harm to your employment.
You are absolutely right in your understanding, you need not be worried on this count.
Dear
If you have joined the job on general category then there is no necessity to disclose your OBc category in that form.
