Scheduled Caste
No, being a surname or belonging to the Giri caste does not automatically place someone in the Scheduled Caste category. Scheduled Castes are specific groups designated by the Indian government based on historical social and economic disadvantage. Each individual's caste or surname does not determine their status as a Scheduled Caste.

There is a surname "Pan" in Bengali communities, but it does not specifically indicate membership in a scheduled caste. Surnames in India can be used by multiple communities and castes, so it is not accurate to assume caste based solely on a surname. Scheduled caste status is officially recognized by the government based on specific criteria.
