- The Union Cabinet has increased the creamy layer ceiling for the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category to ₹8 lakhs per annum from the existing ₹6 lakh for Central government jobs.
- ‘Creamy layer’ is the ceiling which bars economically and educationally developed members of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) from availing reservations in employment.
- Those who are classified under this section of OBC will not be given reservation in Central Government employment. The present ceiling of Rs 6 lakh came into being in 2013, which means person having annual income more than 6 lakh rupee are not eligible for reservation.
- Now, The ministry of social justice and empowerment had proposed that OBC families which earn more than Rs 8 lakh per year should be classified as ‘creamy layer’ -— the ceiling which bars members of the other backward classes from availing reservations in employment.
