Frequently Asked Questions
What income proof do I need to submit?
It depends on your income source — a salary slip or Form 16 for salaried applicants, land revenue records for farmers, or a self-declaration affidavit for informal/daily-wage income.
How long is an Income Certificate valid?
Typically one financial year — most institutions require a certificate issued within the current or immediately preceding financial year.
Can I get this certificate for a specific purpose like a scholarship?
Yes, you'll state the purpose on the application, and some purposes (like scholarships) may have their own income threshold that determines eligibility.
