Frequently Asked Questions

Tea garden worker families — special provision?

Yes. For Assam's large tea garden worker population, the tea garden management's wage certificate or residence proof from the tea garden estate is accepted as residency proof — since many tea garden workers don't have traditional land/property documents. Seva Setu camps in Assam specifically target this population.

NRC Assam — does it affect domicile certificate?

The NRC (National Register of Citizens) updates are separate from the Revenue Department's domicile/permanent resident certificate process. Having your name in the NRC supports your Assam residency claim, but the domicile certificate is issued independently by the Revenue Department based on documents like voter ID, ration card, and school TC.

APSC — is Assam domicile mandatory?

Yes, for most Assam state government posts (APSC Grade-I/II), Assam permanent resident certificate is required. Check the specific APSC advertisement.
