Caste coversion

Sharanu sharanaarthi,

I became lingayat by taking istalinga dheekshe in 2014. But my previous caste was SC. In all my records caste column was mentioned with SC category.

Now, after taking istalinga dheekshe I'm mentioning my caste as lingayat. Is there any legal issues?? Please guide me..

No legal issues.

As constitution of India provides “Right of Freedom of Religion” as per Articles 25 & 28 of the Constitution of India.
"Every citizen of India is given the freedom to profess, practice and propagate his own religion."

Thanks
