My topic is about the Dob certificate and the 10th result /marks sheet in Kashmir.

The 10th class marks sheet is deemed as a Dob certificate in numerous institutes and For various documents, especially in the passport office. Even if we provide them the original Dob certificate and hospital discharge certificate still the preference will be given to the 10th class certificate...
But the question is why the 10th class certificate is used as a Dob certificate in many departments.
I wanna share a few incidents which I encountered in life regarding 10th class Dob.
I was a student in 5 class and a young girl was delivering milk to our house. She was in 10th class .She skipped her education many times. When I joined my 11th class she was also a new student of the 11th class and her younger sister was in 12th and when I saw their Dob as per the 10th certificate her elder sister was younger than her little sister...They were three daughters and their parents enrolled them in govt school together. They were in the same batch and class... And they have the same DOB in documents when in...
