Creamy Layer

Creamy Layer refers to the economically and socially advanced section of the OBC (Other Backward Classes) category. People falling under the Creamy Layer are not eligible for reservation benefits in government jobs, education, and welfare schemes, as they are considered financially and socially well-off. This system ensures that reservation benefits reach the genuinely backward and deserving sections of society.

The orders regarding creamy layer are issued by the Department of Personnel & Training.  The clarifications/queries relating to creamy layer may be addressed to:
