What is the creamy layer?
The creamy layer is a term used in Indian politics to refer to the relatively wealthier and better educated members of the OBCs who are not eligible for government sponsored educational and professional benefit programs. So basically, the creamy layer bars the affluent among OBCs from reservation benefit on the basis of family income. The layer ensures that the benefits reach the deserving people, who need them, rather than the ones who are financially and socially well off.
How was the limit raised from Rs 4.5 laks to Rs 6 lakhs?
The limit for income was decided in 2008, according to which families with an annual income of Rs 4.5 lakh and above cannot be allowed the benefits.According to the previous recommendation made by the OBC Commission, the ceiling was kept at Rs 12 lakh per annum for urban areas and Rs 9 lakh for rural areas. Sources said this recommendation was not financially feasible as it would have reduced the number of people that comprise the creamy layer. So finally, a Group of Ministers (GoM), set up to resolve the issue, recommended a uniform ceiling of Rs 6 lakh per annum.
How will the OBCs benefit from the move?
The move would enable more persons to take advantage of reservation benefits extended to OBCs in government services and admission to central educational institutions.Raising the bar to Rs 6 lakh would allow more OBCs to avail of the 27 per cent quota in jobs and education.
