- In the reference 3rd read above, the Director, Minorities Welfare, Hyderabad has informed that there seems to be genuine difficulty in obtaining the Date of Birth (DOB) Certificate for the prospective beneficiaries, particularly those who have not studied upto SSC and also those who had not obtained the Date of Birth certificate at the time of Birth, because, if the Date of Birth certificate is not taken at the time of birth within stipulated time, the process is laborious for taking the date of Birth certificate.
- The Director, Minorities Welfare, Hyderabad has therefore requested the Govt. to consider some additional evidence on age proof such as old/new ration card or the age mentioned in Aadhaar Card or age Certificate issued by the Govt. Medical Practitioner or any other additional Certificate as deemed fit.
- Govt. after careful examination of the matter, hereby issue the following amendment :- Age Proof Documents for Shaadi Mubaarak Scheme
