- Maharashtra's minority development department has issued an advisory barring minority educational institutions from demanding minority certificates from students seeking admission under the minority quota.
- Officials said complaints had surfaced that some institutions continued to insist on these certificates despite earlier government notifications from 2013 and 2017.
- Community representatives welcomed the move, saying it will stop harassment of students and parents.
- The advisory is a reiteration of existing rules rather than a new policy, aimed at ensuring institutions comply.
What to watch next

- Whether the government takes action against institutions that continue to insist on minority certificates
- Any further clarification on what documents, if any, students must provide for quota admissions
