Does change of caste effect scholarship benefits under reservation
31-May-2023 (In Family Law)
A person qualified NET ( JRF) exam in 2014 under sc reservation. He has been getting scholarship till now . But he got converted to Christianity in 2016. So should his scholarship stop? Because now he is christian so how he is getting sc benefit?
Whenever a person changes his religion or converts to another faith, the caste benefits which he was receiving still remain the same as long as the said person lives in his traditional place of residence. A Supreme Court judgment had ruled that Scheduled Tribes are exempted from income tax. But the court also ruled that an IAS officer from ST who had settled in Calcutta is not exempt from income tax, since he had moved out of his traditional lands.
