Supreme Court Clarifies OBC Creamy Layer Criteria
On November 6, 2026, the Supreme Court reaffirmed its March 11, 2026 ruling upholding the 1993 Office Memorandum. This memorandum excludes parental salary and agricultural income from the income/wealth test used to determine OBC non-creamy layer status. The Centre has requested clarifications on how this ruling affects OBC candidates selected in the civil services examination.
