The Government has increased the
income criterion for the persons to avail reservation benefits for Other
Backward Classes from Rs. 4.5 lakh to Rs. 6 lakh per annum with effect from
16.05.2013.
The increase in the income limit to exclude Creamy Layer is in keeping with the
increase in the Consumer Price Index.
The increase in income limit of Creamy Layer would enable more people of Other
Backward Classes to take advantage of reservation in Government Services and
admission in Central Educational Institutions, thereby bringing about equity
and greater inclusiveness in society.
