OBC creamy-layer income test: What did the Supreme Court rule, and why is the Centre seeking clarification?…
Quick source take
The Hindu reports that the Supreme Court of India stated it will consider setting up a special bench to hear the Union government's application seeking clarification on its March 11 judgment regarding the OBC creamy layer income test. According to the Department of Personnel and Training, retrospective implementation of the ruling is extremely difficult and could cause a cascading effect across settled services dating back to 2012. The government argues that applying the Rohith Nathan judgment retroactively would trigger numerous legal challenges from individuals denied Non-Creamy Layer certificates or those who did not apply for them.

The Eastern Mirror reports that the Supreme Court will hear the Centre's plea on September 1 regarding the application of its March 11 judgment on OBC creamy layer criteria for Civil Services Examination 2025 candidates. The Department of Personnel and Training argues that mechanically applying the ruling could cause unequal treatment among candidates and disrupt service allocation, training schedules, and seniority. The government seeks permission to proceed with service allocation for the 958 candidates recommended by the UPSC based on the creamy layer criteria applied prior to the March 11 verdict.
