CertiSetu helps Farrukhabad residents apply for Income Certificate online. Upload your documents once and skip the office visit. A verified agent files the application on the UP e-District portal and the Farrukhabad Tehsil verifies it.
An Income Certificate (Aay Praman Patra) is the Uttar Pradesh government's record of your family's total annual income from all sources. It is what residents of Farrukhabad are asked for when they apply for scholarships, fee concessions, EWS claims and welfare schemes with an income ceiling. In Farrukhabad the application is filed on the Uttar Pradesh e-District portal and the Farrukhabad Tehsil verifies it. The Lekhpal checks the details against Farrukhabad revenue records before the Tehsildar signs. CertiSetu files it for you, so there is no visit to the Farrukhabad Tehsil or SDM office at any stage.
In Farrukhabad the same document is asked for as an aay praman patra or a family income certificate. The name changes; the certificate and the Farrukhabad Tehsil that issues it do not.
The fee, the documents and the rules are identical in all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh. Only the Tehsil that verifies you changes.
CertiSetu is an independent private platform. A verified agent files the application for you and every field and document is checked before it is submitted.
The UP e-District portal is the government's own, and our fee does not apply on it. You do the filing, the follow-up and any correction yourself.
Students
For fee concessions and scholarships that are means-tested.
EWS applicants
An Income Certificate is the input an EWS Certificate application is assessed against.
Scheme applicants
For UP welfare schemes with a family income ceiling.
0–7 days Filed and under review
We file it on the UP e-District portal, with every field checked first so nothing comes back.
8–15 days Tehsildar verification
A Lekhpal checks your address on the ground, then the Farrukhabad Tehsildar signs it.
15–20 days Certificate issued
The digital copy reaches your account, and the printed one is posted to Farrukhabad.
Beyond 20 days Escalated for you
If it stalls, we chase the Tehsil ourselves and tell you exactly what it is waiting on.
Working days, counted from a complete filing. The processing time is the department’s own and is not a delivery commitment.
The name, the father's name and the address have to read identically on every document you upload. A mismatch between the Aadhaar spelling and the ration card sends more applications back from the Farrukhabad Tehsil than any other single reason.
Whatever address the form carries is the one the Lekhpal verifies in Farrukhabad. If your documents show two, file with the one your residence proof carries and leave the other out.
A photo with a corner cut off or a shadow across the seal is rejected at the document stage, before the file reaches the department at all. JPG, PNG or PDF, up to 2 MB each.
The Lekhpal calls the number on the form before the field visit in Farrukhabad. An unreachable number is the commonest reason a complete, correct file simply sits still.
The form has to be signed and stamped by the ward councillor for your address in Farrukhabad. It is one of the few steps that still happens on paper, and it is easier to collect before the file is open than after.
The department counts working days. A file submitted on a Friday evening effectively starts on Monday, which is two days of the estimate spent before anyone has opened it.
| Applicant type | Documents required |
|---|---|
| Salaried family | Aadhaar, salary slips or Form 16, address proof, passport photo |
| Self-employed or farming family | Aadhaar, self-declaration of income, land records or khatauni, address proof |
| General applicant | Aadhaar, ration card or utility bill, passport photo, Parshad approval |
The most common rejection
Your name must be spelt identically across every document. A mismatch between the Aadhaar spelling and the ration card is the single most frequent reason an application comes back from the Farrukhabad Tehsil.
Everything about government certificates was explained so simply. The document and application process finally made sense.
I always mixed up Domicile and Caste certificates. The guides explain the difference in plain words.
My father is not comfortable online, and even he followed the instructions. That says enough.
District, Tehsil and block figures are the ones published in the Integrated Government Online Directory. CertiSetu is an independent private platform and is not affiliated with the Government of Uttar Pradesh or any district administration; the certificate is issued by the concerned department.
