Missing domicile certificate

One of the most frequent rejection reasons, even after winning. A domicile certificate confirming 15 years of continuous Maharashtra residence is mandatory. Obtain it through:

• The Maharashtra government's 'Aaple Sarkaar' portal (free, but longer processing)
• A registered attorney with a Maharashtra birth or school leaving certificate (Rs. 3,000, 2 to 3 days)

Apply well in advance; do not wait until the application window opens.

Incorrect income category

If your actual income does not match the category applied for, CIDCO will invalidate the application — even after a winning draw. Verify your income bracket carefully and consult CIDCO officials if unsure. Self-declared income mismatches are discovered during post-win document verification.
