Various certificates like transfer certificate, experience certificate and others issued to students and teachers will not be countersigned by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)


Various certificates like transfer certificate, experience certificate and others issued to students and teachers will not be countersigned by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) from this academic session onwards.
CBSE controller of examination Dr Sanyam Bhardwaj in the letter to school heads said, “It has been noticed that few schools affiliated to CBSE issue various certificates based on information which is available only in the school and such certificates are being sent to CBSE offices for countersigning. It is clear that since CBSE does not hold the original information, countersigning should also not be done by CBSE.”
Hence forward, the board has discontinued countersigning the Transfer Certificates issued by the affiliated schools to their students joining another school.
 ‘Similarly, CBSE also decided that the following Certificates shall be issued and countersigned if required) by schools themselves:
·         Experience Certificates in respect of teachers working in CBSE affiliated schools
·         Certificates issued by the schools to the students for the purpose of employment or obtaining any type of government concessions viz. student tours or Railway journeys etc.

d)       Only if required, the issued certificate can be countersigned by the Manager/Secretary/Member of the School Managing Committee.
e)       In case, certificate is issued on a prescribed format, then the stamp and seal of the school should contain the information mentioned above.
f)        Copy may be directly sent to the authority concerned by the school.
g)      A record of such cases shall be maintained by the school.
