Other Backward Class quota
Dear Sir
I was born in Punjab. Age 25. I am prep for govt exams.
My parents were born in Nawalgarh, Rajasthan.Our family has been living in Punjab since 1989.
My caste is "Jangid" which is an OBC caste as notified by Rajasthan govt and central govt in its own centre list. I have checked my caste in the latest list. I write my surname as "Sharma'. Actually we can use sharma as our surname as told by many jangids on the grounds being descendant of vishwakarma brahmins. I have my OBC caste certificate in prescribed format required for availing reservation under OBC quota.
So am I eligible for reservation in govt jobs?
Thanks and Regards
Himanshu

Thank you sirs for your valuable suggestions.Jangid community is basically from Rajasthan where majority of the population lives though they have dispersed in other neighbouring states for better opportunity from now and then. Since it originates from Rajasthan, Punjab govt does not notify in its state list of OBC. The OBC certificate was issued by the competent authority from my ancestral town Nawalgarh and said that you would be eligible for reservation under "non creamy layer" as stated in the certificate. This along with your affirmative answers corroborate the validity of availing reservation.
