New Delhi: The Central Government has made a big decision on OBC reservation. The central government has increased the limit of creamy layer from six lakh to eight lakhs in OBC reservation. Today Finance Minister Arun Jaitley gave this information.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that the Union Cabinet was formally informed about the decision to increase the limit for the central government's jobs. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had recently indicated in Assam that the standard defining the creamy layer would be enhanced and the process of informing the cabinet formally in this context was completed today.
The decision to form the commission for creating sub category under OBC:
Simultaneously, the central cabinet has decided to form a commission to create a subcategory under OBC so that the decision of reservation is made to the needy. This commission will report in 12 weeks of its formation. This commission will be known as Commission considering the sub-classification of other backward classes.
Recommendation sent to the President:
The Finance Minister said, "In this regard, in the year 2011, the National Backward Classes Commission recommended it. This type of subcategory should be made. The similar recommendation was made by Standing Committee of Parliament in the year 2012-13. It was accepted after discussions in the Council of Ministers. A recommendation has been sent to the President to set up a commission in the list of OBCs to create sub-categories."
What did the Congress say on the government's decision?
Congress spokesman Randeep Surjewala said, "The Supreme Court had created the creamy layer because the poor would get the benefit of reservation. This government has increased the creamy layer to 8 lakhs. It does not benefit poor children. PM needs to churn. We will seriously study the reservation notifications inside the reservation and then comment."
