The guidance titled “சம்பந்தப்பட்ட அதிகாரிகளிடமிருந்து பெற வேண்டிய சான்றிதழ்கள்” lists the age, nativity, income, community, journalist and reservation certificates that applicants must obtain from relevant authorities. The supplied text does not identify the authority that issued the guidance.

What the guidance covers
The certificate guidance applies to applicants who must prove personal details, income, community status or eligibility for a reservation category. It identifies the type of evidence to upload and the authority from whom it should be obtained.
Age and nativity evidence
The certificate requirements for age and nativity include:
- An applicant may upload a birth certificate obtained from a local body, the relevant Tahsildar, a Sub-Registrar or a Registrar of Births and Deaths.
- A school final certificate or transfer certificate issued by an educational institution may also be used as age evidence.
- A person who has not attended school may obtain an age certificate from a registered medical practitioner who is not below the rank of Assistant Civil Surgeon.
- A nativity certificate must be obtained in the usual format from the local Tahsildar.
- Defence personnel are exempt from submitting a residence certificate in the usual format. A declaration that they belong to Tamil Nadu is sufficient if it is accepted by the Defence Department, under Government Order (Ms.) Number 1624, dated 30 October 1987.
Income and community certificates
The income and community requirements vary by the applicant’s circumstances:
- Monthly salaried employees of government bodies, public institutions or private organisations must upload an income certificate properly obtained from their department or competent authority.
- Other applicants may obtain an income certificate from a Revenue Department officer not below the rank of Tahsildar, or from a Group A officer of a State or Central Government department.
- The guidance also allows income to be supported through income tax assessment Form 16 certified by a chartered accountant.
- Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, washerman and barber applicants must obtain a community certificate from the relevant Revenue Divisional authorities.
Journalists and reservation claims
The journalist requirement covers specified editorial and news roles, including editors, sub-editors, writers, proofreaders, reporters, cartoonists, correspondents, news editors and news photographers. People working mainly in managerial or administrative roles are excluded. Supervisory employees whose duties or powers are mainly managerial are also excluded under the stated definition in the Working Journalists (Conditions of Service and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1955.
Eligible journalists must obtain a certificate from the Department of Information and Public Relations in Chennai. This requirement cites Government Order (Ms.) Number 703 of the Housing and Urban Development Department, dated 17 August 1981.
An applicant claiming any reservation must obtain a supporting certificate from the relevant authority so that the claim can be verified.
