Chennai: Candidates that apply to other backward class certificates in TN do not need to worry about the criteria of the cream layer because the state government has directed income and collectors to issue certificates without insisting on income details.
The OBC certificate is needed for candidates from the community to retreat to apply for acceptance to educational institutions and educational work.
Order July 5 states that salary and agriculture income does not need to be taken into account when calculating the annual income ceiling of Rs 8 lakh for parents of the non-cream layer category.
The order, however, does not cover six categories, including people who occupy the post of constitutional and professional services and categories identified by the center in 1993.
This step comes amid complaints about several officials who raise objections by quoting income criteria.
Communicism is issued by the Secretary of the Karthik Department, BC, MBC & Minority.
For example, a Petitioner, whose parent resulted in an annual income of Rs 10 lakh which includes Rs 7 lakh through salaries and agricultural income will still be eligible for the OBC certificate as an RS 3 Lakh income through an annual source alone will be counted as annual income.
, Even if applicant’s revenue is Rs 25 Lakh, during income through sources other than salaries and agriculture under the 8-Lakh RS ceiling, they are still eligible for the OBC certificate.
Further Secretary said in the letter to the district collector and the income administration department that had been brought to the government’s notice that there was a problem in providing an OBC certificate, inhibiting the benefits offered by the Government Government at 27% of reservations for OBC.
