Hello,

The certificate issued after date of notification will certainly work. When UPSC calls you for interview, it specifically mention in you call letter the latest date after which the certificate should be issued. And that date is in most circumstances, after the date of notification. If you submit any old certificate, UPSC asks to sign an affidavit in UPSC hall itself that you will furnish the latest caste certificate failing which your candidature will be forfeited.
