In his reply to a question, Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Krishna Pal Gurjar said that the prescribed authority may issue OBC certificate to a person, who has migrated from another state on the production of a genuine certificate issued to her father by the prescribed authority of the state of her father's origin.
