It is a fact that evaluation of the equivalent or comparable posts in
public sector undertakings, Banks, Insurance companies, Universities,
private employment vis-à-vis Government posts could not be established
so far. However, the extant instructions of Department of Personnel and
Training dated 8.9.1993 read with instructions of 14.10.2004 provide
that till such time the equivalence of comparable posts in such
organizations vis-à-vis Government posts are established, the criteria
of income/wealth test shall apply to determine their creamy layer
status.
The benefit of reservation is not available to the candidates who fall
in creamy layer. However, as per the extant instructions, the sons and
daughters of persons employed in public sector undertakings, Banks,
Insurance companies, Universities, private employment etc. having income
of upto Rs.6
lakhs either from salary or from other sources would fall in non-creamy
layer and would be eligible to get the benefits of reservation under
Other Backward Class (OBC) category.
This was stated by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel,
Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the Prime
Minister’s Office Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply to a question by
Shri Vishambhar Prasad Nishad, Smt. Chhaya Verma and Ch. Sukhram Singh
Yadav in the Rajya Sabha today.
