OBC Non Creamy Layer related queries while filling UPSC Prelims 2025 DAF

hi, please help!

query 1 - Case of the matter: I have a caste certificate and that is issued under state government in hindi. The UPSC released a proforma/attached annexure in its notification. I got the attached annexure/proforma also signed by Tehsildar and the proforma has a MANUALLY written THREE digit number at the top with the MANUALLY written DATE.

I am confused now. should I be writing that manually written three digit number as the certificate number in the application form or that 12 digit number that's mentioned in my caste certificate issued by state government.

And should then the date of issue be the one that's written on my new signed proforma or that old.
i tried to call upsc helpline but it went in vain; they are either busy or don't get connected easily

query 2- will i have the time to edit the hobby and achievement section in the application after prelims or mains?  

  please respond asap.

thanks
