Creamy Layer
The term Creamy Layer is used to
describe a certain members of the Other Backward Classes who are wealthier and
better educated comparing to others who are considered non creamy layer.
The term creamy layer and non creamy layer was
first used in the recommendation of the Sattanathan Commission in 1971. The
commission came to a conclusion that creamy layer candidates of the OBC should
not get any benefits from the central government pointing towards the
reservation or quota as commonly known as, in the government jobs.
However the term was accurately defined by the
Supreme Court of India that came to conclusion that only
the weaker people of the OBC community should
get the benefits by the central government and not the
creamy layer candidates who are fared better
and do not face the same social and economic
backwardness as others.
Therefore Supreme Court came to the conclusion
of excluding OBC children of following from getting any
benefits of reservation:
1. President of India
2. Supreme Court and High Court Judges
3. Public Sector Employee
4. State and Central govt employee above a
certain post
5. Armed Forces and Paramilitary forces

Accountant, doctor, lawyer, income tax
consultant, film star, sports star, media person etc whose annual
income is more than 450,000 is considerd as
OBC creamy layer thus making them ineligible for the
reservation.
OBC children of any family that earns more
than Rs 450,000 from should not include salary and
agricultural land income are also put in the
category of creamy layer which excludes them from any
benefits.
Those who do not meet these criteria and
candidates belonging to OBC non creamy layer and would
continue to enjoy the benefits provided by the
central and state governments.
It should be remembered that creamy and non
creamy layer is the term only for OBCs. It does not apply
on the SC/ST candidates.
These are the two term used to differentiate
