The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has started receiving applications for domicile or permanent residence certificates, one of the 13 documents accepted for the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Residents can submit their applications at the KMC headquarters on SN Banerjee Road or at any of the borough offices across the city. Hakim added: “While domicile certificates are accepted documents for SIR hearings, their use is not limited to the electoral process. This counter also accepts applications for income certificates, residence certificates for residents of at least six months, and other documents required for various scholarships. Civic officials clarified the distinction between permanent residence certificates and regular residence certificates, and that each serves a different purpose.
