Minority Status Certificate Registration

PROCEDURE FOR FILING APPLICATION FOR GRANT OF MINORITY STATUS CERTIFICATE BEFORE NCMEI

An application for grant of minority status certificate may be made to the Commission in prescribed format, if the institution’s application for grant of MSC is pending before the State Government for a long time (say for more than three months from the date of filing of application with state government) or rejected by the authority prescribed by the State Government.

The applicant should move an application first before the Authority established by state government for grant of minority status certificate. If the authority grants minority status certificate, there is no need to approach the Commission thereafter. In case of rejection of application or inordinate delay by the authority, application may be made to the Commission.
