Pune residents will now get domicile certificates by post

The Pune district administration has tied up with the postal department to despatch domicile certificates directly to the addresses of applicants by speed post. 

It would also set up special camps in schools for issue of domicile, non-creamy layer, income and caste certificates. 

Issued at the citizen’s facilitation centre (CFC) at the collector’s office, these certificates are crucial for seeking admissions in colleges and professional courses.

Talking to reporters here on Tuesday, Deshmukh said, “Starting this year, the CFC will have a counter of the postal department. Candidates wishing to avail of the speed post services can register at that counter. The cost of the speed post will be borne by the applicant.”

The camps will be conducted on the weekends during April and May. A cluster of 10-15 schools would be taken every weekend, with the largest school in the area acting as the makeshift office.

The staff of the CFC, including a deputy collector and the tehshildar will be present in the school for the issue of the certificates.

Attempts are also being made to issue the certificates the same day, if all the documents are in place. The time table of the camps are being drawn up, and will be finalised towards the end of March.
