The National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) examines requests for inclusion of any caste/community in the Central List of OBCs only after the receipt of requests from Associations/Organisations or individuals. Out of the 605 castes in the State list which have not been included in the Central list, the Commission has received representations for inclusion in the Central list of OBCs for 103 castes/communities only. The Commission has since rejected the requests of 91 castes/communities and it is not possible to give the time limit for the disposal of the other 12 cases by the NCBC. No representation has been received in respect of the remaining 502 castes/communities.
This was stated by the Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, Smt. Subbulakshmi Jagadeesan in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
