- Do this nowIf: A duplicate certificate (lost or damaged)
Pay the ₹250 duplicate fee by government challan.
The head of account on the form is 0202-01-102-006-800 (User Charges), DDO code 25000303001. The form says to get the challan at SBI. Write the challan number and date on the form.
Not confirmed
The form describes the older treasury challan. We found no official word on whether an online challan is accepted now; ask the school's Headmaster or the DGE office (040-23230942) before you pay. That number was on the board's "Contact Us" page on 2 November 2026; on 11 November 2026 the page did not open, so the number is not confirmed now.

- Do this nowIf: A duplicate certificate (lost or damaged)
Go to the school where you last studied and fill in the duplicate form (give the roll number, month and year of the exam and how many times you sat it correctly).
Paste your photo and have the Headmaster attest it. The Headmaster checks the school records, signs the identification certificate and gives true extracts of the SSC and the admission register and a covering letter. You also sign a declaration that the certificate was never suspended or cancelled.

If the roll number, name, father's name and year of the exam can still be read on the damaged certificate, send it with the application.

Send the application and all papers through the Headmaster to "Addl.
Joint Secretary to the Director of Government Examinations, Chapel Road, Hyderabad - 500001".

The DGE pages do not say how many days a duplicate takes, or whether it is sent to you or to the school. Ask the DGE office (040-23230942). That number was on the board's "Contact Us" page on 2 November 2026; on 11 November 2026 the page did not open, so the number is not confirmed now.

Pay the ₹80 fee by SBI challan.
It is the same fee for a copy of the marks memo, the date of birth (age) certificate or the migration certificate.
Not confirmed
This page does not give the head of account for the challan. Ask at SBI or the DGE office (040-23230942). That number was on the board's "Contact Us" page on 2 November 2026; on 11 November 2026 the page did not open, so the number is not confirmed now.

- Do this nowIf: Correcting a mistake (name, date of birth, parents' names)
If the surname, date of birth or parents' names on the certificate are wrong: corrections in certificates are one of the DGE's services, and a district page says the District Educational Officer (DEO) office handles correction of date of birth, surname and parents' names.
Ask the DEO office what to bring and where to apply.
Not confirmed
Telangana's DGE has not published its correction procedure (papers, form, fee, time limit, or any limit on date of birth corrections) on its website. A district page (of 2019-20) says the DEO office does this work. Ask the DEO office or the DGE office (040-23230942). That number was on the board's "Contact Us" page on 2 November 2026; on 11 November 2026 the page did not open, so the number is not confirmed now.
