Bank cannot insist on your caste certificate if you have been selected under general quota. However you can try and provide the caste certificate for your own good for future service conditions.

there is no harm in providing OBC caste certificate if you belong to that caste . even if confirmation delayed by 3 months there is no harm in providing said certificate . in any case you have been selected under general quota , bank cannot insist on you providing said certificate as you have not claimed any reservation under said quota

Once you have been selected under the 'general' quota and availed no benefit of your OBC status, it is improper for the bank to demand OBC certificate from you. However, acceding to the demand of the bank is in your own interest as your failure to produce the OBC certificate may result in disciplinary proceedings being initiated against you.

Another option is to issue a lawyer's notice to the bank against the demand of OBC certificate, albeit this is not recommended as it will hamper your relationship with the management.

since you have mentioned in your form that you belong to OBC,though you have not claim any reservation under it you will have to provide copy of the certificate signed by respective authority.This call for the certificate from the bank is not for giving you reservation under OBC,it will be a formality which you will have to complete.

oBC certificate has to be issued by . District Magistrate/ Addl. Distt. Magistrate/ Collector/ Deputy Commissioner/. i doubt whether village officer can issue such certificate
