In telangana under convenier quota (locals) individuals belongs to OBC creemy layer but BC A, B, C, D categories can avail medical admission under BC A B C D reservation category. Is it legal to avail reservation under BC A B C D E categories through they are OBC creemy layer.
Hello
As per reservation rules in India:
1. OBC Non-Creamy Layer : Only individuals from the OBC non-creamy layer are eligible for reservations in educational institutions and government jobs.
2. OBC Creamy Layer : Individuals from the OBC creamy layer (those earning above the income limit , currently Rs8 lakh per annum) are not eligible for OBC reservation benefits.
If an individual belongs to the OBC creamy layer, they cannot legally claim reservation benefits under BC A , B , C , D or E categories in Telangana or anywhere else in India . Only the non-creamy layer of these categories can avail of such benefits.
Hope this helps you .
Thank you .
Hello,
In India, reservation policies for admission to educational institutions, including medical colleges, vary based on the rules and regulations of the state and central government. Here’s a detailed explanation to clarify the situation you mentioned:
-
Central OBC Rules : At the central level, OBC candidates in the creamy layer are excluded from reservation benefits.
-
Telangana BC Categories : Telangana has state-specific BC categories (A, B, C, D, E) with reservation policies that may differ from central rules.
-
State Policy on Creamy Layer : If Telangana’s rules do not exclude the creamy layer from BC reservations, individuals in the creamy layer can legally claim benefits under these categories.
-
Eligibility Verification : Admission authorities enforce eligibility based on state-specific guidelines. Misrepresentation can lead to disqualification or legal consequences.
-
Legal Clarity : If Telangana explicitly excludes the creamy layer from BC reservations (similar to central rules), it is illegal for creamy layer candidates to claim such benefits.
Recommendation : Check Telangana’s specific reservation policy documents or consult the Telangana State Medical Counselling Committee for precise clarification.
Hope it helps !
