Agartala, Apr 3 (UNI) Tripura Tribal Welfare department has issued show cause notices to 34 students for submitting false income tax certificate to avail scholarship and asked them to explain why FIRs should not be lodged against them for alleged forgery.

It has been revealed from the inquiries conducted by competent administrative authorities that 34 students had applied for ST Post-Matric Scholarship for 2023-24 through the NSP, uploading fake income certificates. The production of such fake income certificates to usurp scholarship grants constitutes misappropriation of public money, document forgery, and defrauding, Das stated.
