Cabinet approves amendments in the Central List of Other Backward
Classes applicable to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has given
its approval for making suitable amendments in the Central List of OBCs by way
of inclusion/correction/deletion of castes/communities applicable to the State
of Andhra Pradesh and the newly formed State of Telangana as per the advice
received from the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC).
A total of 35 changes recommended by NCBC in respect of Andhra Pradesh and 86
New Entries in respect of Telangana State will be notified. The changes will
enable the persons belonging to these castes/ communities in Andhra Pradesh and
Telangana to avail the benefits of reservation in Government services and posts
as well as in Central Educational Institutions as per extant policy. They will
also become eligible for benefit under the various welfare schemes,
scholarships etc. being administered by the Central Government, which are at
present available to the persons belonging to the Other Backward Classes.
Background:
On the recommendation of the Commission a total of 2401 Entries for
inclusion, including its synonyms, sub-castes, etc. in the Central List of
Other Backward Classes have been notified in 24 States and 6 Union Territories.
The last such notification was issued on 26.5.2016. Since then, several more
recommendations for inclusion of castes/communities and corrections in the
existing list of OBCs for the State of Andhra Pradesh and the new State of
Telangana have been received from NCBC.
Under Section 9
("Functions of the Commission") of the NCBC Act 1993, the Commission
examines requests for inclusion of any class of citizens as a backward class in
the lists and hears complaints of over-inclusion or under-inclusion of any
backward class in such lists and tenders such advice to the Central Government.
The Act also stipulates that the advice of the Commission shall ordinarily be
binding upon the Central Government.

Violation of deputation rules
Appointment to a post on deputation basis is made for a period normally
specified in the Recruitment Rules of the deputation post, unless the period of
deputation is extended by the Government in terms of prevailing instructions.
After expiry of such deputation period, the Government servant is required to
revert back to the parent organization / office. The Guidelines regulating
premature repatriation from Central Deputation also provide for repatriation to
parent cadre in certain cases such as to avail benefit of promotion. However,
there are no specific instructions which require a Government servant on
deputation to be reverted back to the parent organization / office before
retirement only to facilitate fixation of pensionary benefits.
Rule 33 of Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972 and Rule 2 of AIS
(Death-cum-Retirement Benefits) Rules, 1958 prescribe the emoluments to be
taken into account for calculating pension.
This was stated by the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development
of North-Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances &
Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh in a written reply to a
question by Shri C.R. Patil in the Lok Sabha today.
