My fathers name in my caste certificate is XY and in all other documents its XYZ. I had my IBPS PO interview, I submitted an affidavit for same. Next month is the final DV , making a new certificate is not an option for me. Will I lose my job or an affidavit will suffice?
Hello Aspirant,
You can submit and affidavit for mean time but note that affidavit is not for permanent duration but it is for temporary time period so you can submit it during document verification of IBPS PO but apply for the new one as soon as possible because ultimately you will have to submit the new certificate with proper name.
