Veerashaiva lingayat comes under which category in central and state list ?
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 constantly been trying to get the community under 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
