Iam from student of Telangana but my native is karnataka.My caste is veerashaiva lingayat.Under which category it belong's in Telanagana state?
Hello,
Currently, the entire Veerashaiva-Lingayat community, that is one of the dominant community in the Karnataka State, is included in the Karnataka OBC list under Category 3B with a 5% reservation based on income.
So you would be benefitted for jobs and opportunities for Karnataka state based only.
The community does not come in Central list of Other Backward Castes .
Though the state government has been constantly trying to get the community under the Central list of OBC. Their inclusion as OBC in the Central list will mean 27% reservation in Central government services and Central educational institutions. Only some sub-castes of Veerashaiva-Lingayats come under the central OBC list at present.
I hope you find the answer helpful
Thank you
