In 9 November 2000 Uttaranchal formed and 2007 name change to Uttarakhand.
After Uttarakhand Formed Dehradun Which then in Uttar Pradesh become Part of Uttarakhand.
Uttarakhand govt brought the rule the only Family residing for 40 years has the right to Claim their self Caste Certificate.
After this we got no chance for making caste certificate.
So I have made my caste certificate by Meerut Uttar Pradesh govt.
Now I am doing a govt job on the basis of this certificate.
Now Uttarakhand govt changed their rule for caste certificate and now required time for residing in state is 25 years.
So can I make a new SC certificate from Uttarakhand govt.

You can apply for community certificate from your state on the basis of the certificate you have already obtained from the state of UP.

The caste certificate issued by the state UP shall be a precedent or evidence to enable the state of Uttarakhand  issue the desired certificate without any hassle.

What is the purpose are you going to solve in your employment by using the new community certificate replacing the previous one?

Why do you want to disturb the peaceful atmosphere in your work place especially when the previous certificate was held to be genuine and legally valid.

- Yes, you can make a new caste certificate from Uttarakhand , if having residence proof continuously since last 25 years . 

- Yes, legally you can submit the new certificate in the UPSC exam , but before that you should cancel the old certificate of UP. 

- Legally , use of second certificate is offence in India , however, your case is different from others. 

- Submit the current certificate with the psu as well, after giving a written explanation for the same due to changing of state ,and cancel the old one i.e not use anywhere in future.
