In Chhattisgarh, obtaining a Scheduled Caste (SC) or Scheduled Tribe (ST) Certificate is essential for individuals belonging to these categories to avail government benefits such as reservations in education, employment, scholarships, and welfare schemes. The application process is simple and can be completed through the Sewa Setu Portal of Chhattisgarh.

Applicants need to register on the portal with their personal details or apply through LSK/CSC login, and select the “SC/ST Certificate” service. They must then fill out the application form, upload the required documents. Upon submission, a unique Application Reference Number (ARN) is generated for tracking the application.

Once approved, the applicant receives a SMS notification and can download the digitally signed SC/ST Certificate directly from the portal. The certificate remains valid permanently, unless otherwise directed by the issuing authority, and can be used for all official and legal purposes across the state.
