Supreme Court Upholds March 11 Ruling on OBC Creamy Layer Policy
On November 6, 2026, the Supreme Court clarified that its March 11 judgment on reassessing OBC creamy layer status, which excludes parental salary and agricultural income from income tests, will not apply retrospectively. The Court rejected the government's request for a two-year window to implement the policy and ruled that the 2025 service batch allocation must comply with the March 2026 judgment.
