&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Congress-led government has tried to reach out to Other Backward Communities (OBCs) by drastically relaxing the definition of &#039;creamy layer&#039; and including those with an annual income of Rs 12 lakh in metros eligible for job reservations. The eligibility level in non-metros will be an annual income of Rs 9 lakh.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The existing ceiling for this is an annual income of 4.5 lakh. The National Commission for Backward Classes has been pitching for a higher ceiling following pressure from dominant OBC groups. According to advocates of the higher ceiling, many reserved posts have been lying vacant on account of &#039;unrealistic&#039; ceiling for OBCs.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Rs 12 lakh ceiling would make dependents of those who earn Rs 1 lakh monthly salary eligible for quota benefits and will lead to a change in the profile of the new entrants.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Backward Class commission, headed by MN Rao, has been maintaining affirmative action should benefit sections which are &amp;quot;socially discriminated&amp;quot;. The panel was of the view that economic advancement was not guarantee for social advancement. &amp;quot;The basis of exclusion can be economic only if the financial advancement is enough to translate into social upward mobility.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This, however, is certain to cause disquiet among poor &#039;upper&#039; castes, who have of late been demanding quota in educational institutions and government jobs. They are bound to claim that the latest decision would further shrink their job prospects.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A Cabinet release said the National Commission for Backward Classes advised the government for amendment in the central list of OBCs for Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand and West Bengal and Union Territories of Andaman &amp;amp; Nicobar, Chandigarh, Delhi and Puducherry.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The ministry of social justice &amp;amp; empowerment would make amendments in the central lists of OBCs in respect of these states and UTs. Inclusion of these castes/communities in the central list of OBCs would enable them to avail benefits of reservation in central government services and posts as well as admissions in central educational institutions, thus contributing to the goal of equity and inclusiveness,&amp;quot; the release noted.

The Rs 12 lakh ceiling would make dependents of those who earn Rs 1 lakh monthly salary eligible for quota benefits and will lead to a change in the profile of the new entrants.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

The Backward Class commission, headed by MN Rao, has been maintaining affirmative action should benefit sections which are &amp;quot;socially discriminated&amp;quot;. The panel was of the view that economic advancement was not guarantee for social advancement. &amp;quot;The basis of exclusion can be economic only if the financial advancement is enough to translate into social upward mobility.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A Cabinet release said the National Commission for Backward Classes advised the government for amendment in the central list of OBCs for Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand and West Bengal and Union Territories of Andaman &amp;amp; Nicobar, Chandigarh, Delhi and Puducherry.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The existing ceiling for this is an annual income of 4.5 lakh. The National Commission for Backward Classes has been pitching for a higher ceiling following pressure from dominant OBC groups. According to advocates of the higher ceiling, many reserved posts have been lying vacant on account of &#039;unrealistic&#039; ceiling for OBCs.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Rs 12 lakh ceiling would make dependents of those who earn Rs 1 lakh monthly salary eligible for quota benefits and will lead to a change in the profile of the new entrants.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Backward Class commission, headed by MN Rao, has been maintaining affirmative action should benefit sections which are &amp;quot;socially discriminated&amp;quot;. The panel was of the view that economic advancement was not guarantee for social advancement. &amp;quot;The basis of exclusion can be economic only if the financial advancement is enough to translate into social upward mobility.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This, however, is certain to cause disquiet among poor &#039;upper&#039; castes, who have of late been demanding quota in educational institutions and government jobs. They are bound to claim that the latest decision would further shrink their job prospects.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A Cabinet release said the National Commission for Backward Classes advised the government for amendment in the central list of OBCs for Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand and West Bengal and Union Territories of Andaman &amp;amp; Nicobar, Chandigarh, Delhi and Puducherry.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The ministry of social justice &amp;amp; empowerment would make amendments in the central lists of OBCs in respect of these states and UTs. Inclusion of these castes/communities in the central list of OBCs would enable them to avail benefits of reservation in central government services and posts as well as admissions in central educational institutions, thus contributing to the goal of equity and inclusiveness,&amp;quot; the release noted.
&lt;/div&gt;

The Congress-led government has tried to reach out to Other Backward Communities (OBCs) by drastically relaxing the definition of &#039;creamy layer&#039; and including those with an annual income of Rs 12 lakh in metros eligible for job reservations. The eligibility level in non-metros will be an annual income of Rs 9 lakh.&amp;nbsp;

The Backward Class commission, headed by MN Rao, has been maintaining affirmative action should benefit sections which are &amp;quot;socially discriminated&amp;quot;. The panel was of the view that economic advancement was not guarantee for social advancement. &amp;quot;The basis of exclusion can be economic only if the financial advancement is enough to translate into social upward mobility.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This, however, is certain to cause disquiet among poor &#039;upper&#039; castes, who have of late been demanding quota in educational institutions and government jobs. They are bound to claim that the latest decision would further shrink their job prospects.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A Cabinet release said the National Commission for Backward Classes advised the government for amendment in the central list of OBCs for Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand and West Bengal and Union Territories of Andaman &amp;amp; Nicobar, Chandigarh, Delhi and Puducherry.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The ministry of social justice &amp;amp; empowerment would make amendments in the central lists of OBCs in respect of these states and UTs. Inclusion of these castes/communities in the central list of OBCs would enable them to avail benefits of reservation in central government services and posts as well as admissions in central educational institutions, thus contributing to the goal of equity and inclusiveness,&amp;quot; the release noted.

OBC creamy layer ceiling raised

-The Economic Times   The Congress-led government has tried to reach out to Other Backward Communities (OBCs) by drastically relaxing the definition of 'creamy layer' and including those with an annual income of Rs 12 lakh in metros eligible for job reservations. The eligibility level in non-metros will be an annual income of Rs 9 lakh.  The existing ceiling for this is an annual income of 4.5 lakh. The National Commission for Backward Classes has been pitching for a higher ceiling following pressure from dominant OBC groups. According to advocates of the higher ceiling, many reserved posts have been lying vacant on account of 'unrealistic' ceiling for OBCs.  The Rs 12 lakh ceiling would make dependents of those who earn Rs 1 lakh monthly salary eligible for quota benefits and will lead to a change in the profile of the new entrants.  The Backward Class commission, headed by MN Rao, has been maintaining affirmative action should benefit sections which are "socially discriminated". The panel was of the view that economic advancement was not guarantee for social advancement. "The basis of exclusion can be economic only if the financial advancement is enough to translate into social upward mobility.  This, however, is certain to cause disquiet among poor 'upper' castes, who have of late been demanding quota in educational institutions and government jobs. They are bound to claim that the latest decision would further shrink their job prospects.  A Cabinet release said the National Commission for Backward Classes advised the government for amendment in the central list of OBCs for Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand and West Bengal and Union Territories of Andaman & Nicobar, Chandigarh, Delhi and Puducherry.  "The ministry of social justice & empowerment would make amendments in the central lists of OBCs in respect of these states and UTs. Inclusion of these castes/communities in the central list of OBCs would enable them to avail benefits of reservation in central government services and posts as well as admissions in central educational institutions, thus contributing to the goal of equity and inclusiveness," the release noted.
