Overview
- The Assam State School Education Board issued a notification on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, waiving fees for duplicate HSLC/AHM and Higher Secondary pass certificates, admit cards, marksheets and registration cards for students in Charaideo, Sivasagar, Jorhat and Golaghat.
- Applicants do not need a police report and must upload a self-declaration of being flood‑affected when they apply online through sebaservices.in for HSLC/AHM documents or ahsec.assam.gov.in for Higher Secondary documents.
- The board describes the waiver as a temporary special relief measure aimed at removing the usual financial and procedural barriers that could block students from continuing studies or completing admissions.
- Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and School and Higher Education Minister Ranoj Pegu publicly shared and reinforced the board's notification on X, directing affected students to use the official portals.
- By replacing the police report requirement and removing fees, the policy should speed recovery of records and reduce admission delays for families who lost documents in the floods, though officials will need to say how long the relief will last and whether it will be extended.
