The Union Cabinet on Thursday May 16,2013 gave its approval for increasing the
“creamy layer” income criterion from Rs. 4.5 lakh to Rs. 6 lakh per
annum throughout the country.
the income limit has been raised “in keeping with the increase in the consumer price index” and would “enable more persons to take advantage of the reservation benefits extended to the Other Backward Classes in government services and admission to central educational institutions”
Socially advanced persons and sections, known as the “creamy layer,” are barred from OBC reservation benefits.
Note
The limit was fixed in 2008, specifying that families with an annual income of Rs. 4.5 lakh and above could not be allowed the OBC benefit
