Nadakacheri RD Number & Certificate Validity Checker
Every year, over 25,000 Karnataka candidates lose reservation quotas (2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, SC, ST, SNQ, 371J) and are converted to General Merit (GM) because their revenue certificates expired or had unverified RD numbers. Check your certificate validity, verify RD format, and learn how to renew before KEA application opens.
Under Karnataka Revenue Department rules, Income Certificates and Form-F (OBC Category 2A/2B/3A/3B) certificates have a strict validity of 5 years from the date of issue. KEA's automated database directly cross-references the 15-character Nadakacheri RD number with the Seva Sindhu portal. If your certificate expires before June 2027 document verification, KEA’s portal will reject the RD number and strip your reservation benefits.
