No proposal for revision of OBC Non-Creamy Layer limit

February 21, 2023 by Eliza Leave a Comment

The Indian Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment has stated in response to an unstarred question in the Lok Sabha that the income criteria for determining OBC Non-Creamy layer status of candidates has been revised four times since its introduction in 1993, with the latest revision being an income limit of Rs.8 lakh per annum. The ministry has not sought recommendations for further revision from the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC), and there is no proposal for revision of the OBC Non-Creamy Layer limit, as the existing income limit is considered sufficient.
