## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) (SMT. NIRMALA SITHARAMAN)

- (a)& (b): Since 1995 when World Trade Organisation (WTO) came into existence, members were obliged to eliminate quantitative restrictions on imports/exports. India, being a responsible  member  of  WTO,  has  been  able  to  progressively  remove  quantitative restrictions on most of the goods. However, consistent with the Article XX (General Exceptions) of General Agreement on Tariff & Trade, 1994, a member can maintain restrictions  on  imports/exports  on  the  grounds  of  protection  of  public  morals; human,  animal  or  plant  life  or  health;  patents,  trademarks  and  copyrights,  and prevention of deceptive practices; conservation of exhaustible natural resources; and protection of trade of fissionable material or material from which they are derived; preventing traffic in arms. Accordingly, India maintains restrictions on around 500 tariff  lines  under  quantitative  restrictions  in  the  form  of  prohibition,  restriction,  or exclusive trading by State Trading Enterprises (STEs).
- (c  )  &(d): In  the  Budget  2017-18,  basic  customs  duty  was  increased  from  30%  to  45%  on Cashew  nut,  roasted,  salted  or  roasted  and  salted,  and  from  7.5%  to  10%  on  RO membrane  element  for  household  type  filters.  Also,  SAD  of  2%  was  imposed  on Populated  Printed  Circuit  Boards  (PCBs)  for  the  manufacture  of  mobile  phones, subject to actual user condition.

## LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. † 2830

TO BE ANSWERED ON 20.03.2017

## FAKE ST CERTIFICATES

† 2830.  SHRI CHANDRAKANT KHAIRE:

Will the Minister of TRIBAL AFFAIRS be pleased to state:

(a) whether cases of fake use of Scheduled Tribes (ST) certificate in Government jobs  and  educational  institutions  have  come  to  the  notice  of  the  Government  in  the country during the last three years and current year, State/UT wise;

- (b) if so, the number of such cases reported; and
- (c) the  corrective  steps  taken/proposed  to  be  taken  by  the  Government  in  this regard?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF TRIBAL AFFAIRS ( SHRI JASTWANTSINH BHABHOR )

(a) to (c): While  the  Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs is the  nodal  Ministry  for notification of a community as Scheduled Tribe under Article 342 of the Constitution, the  responsibility  for  issuance  and  verification  of  Scheduled  Tribe  certificates  rests with the concerned State Government/UT Administration. Complaints received about fake Scheduled Tribes certificates are referred to the concerned State Government/UT Administration for appropriate action. However,the Ministry of Tribal Affairs does not maintain such data centrally.

As per the directives  of  the  Hon'ble  Supreme  Court  of  India,  in  its  decision dated 02.09.1994 in case of KumariMadhuriPatil& Others vs. Additional Commissioner,  Tribal  Development  Department  (State  of  Maharashtra)  and  Others, each State Government has to set up Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee to validate the certificate issued to a person by the District  Authorities and also verify the case status  of  the  claimant  on  receipt  of  a  complaint  or  a  request  from  the  Government/ appointing authorities. Further, the Caste certificate holder has to get his/her certificate validated from the Committee before applying for any benefits from the Government. Such  Committees  function  at  State  as  well  as  District  level  in  various  States/UTs. While making appointments/admission, the concerned authorities are therefore required  to  verify,  that  the  candidates  seeking  employment/admission  against  a reserved  vacancy  has  got  his/her  certificate  validated  or  not  from  the  concerned Committee. The Government of India has also issued various circulars from time to time for proper issuance and verification of Scheduled Tribe certificates.
