โ“ Common questions

Why was my income certificate rejected?+

If the income you declared does not match your proof, or your name does not match your ID, verification fails.

How long is an income certificate valid?+

Income certificates are time limited and usually need renewal, so an old one may need re-applying rather than correcting.

Where do I re-apply?+

At your revenue authority (Tehsildar or SDM) or a state portal such as MeeSeva, Nadakacheri or eMitra, with proof that matches your declaration.
