Whether promotion of my father includes me in creamy layer
07-Jan-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
i belong to the backward caste. At the time of recruitment, my father was recruited as class 4 employee. Now he is promoted up to class 1 grade post after the age of 40. His income is more than 6 lacs per annum. Am i falling under creamy layer category?
The creamy layer is a term used in Indian politics to refer to the relatively wealthier and better educated members of the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) who are not eligible for government sponsored educational and professional benefit programs. The term was introduced by the Sattanathan Commission in 1971, which directed that the "creamy layer" should be excluded from the reservations (quotas) of civil posts and services granted to the OBCs. The creamy layer criteria was introduced at Rs 1 lakh in 1993, and revised to Rs 2.5 lakh in 2004, Rs 4.5 lakh in 2008 and Rs 6 lakh in 2013.
In October 2015, National Commission for Backward Classes proposed the that a person belonging to OBC with an annual family income of up to Rs 1 lakh should be considered as minimum ceiling for OBC.
NCBC also recommended the sub-division of OBCs into 'backward', 'more backward' and 'extremely backward' blocs and divide 27% quota amongst them in proportion to their population, to ensure that stronger OBCs don't corner the quota benefits
