OBC Category Explained

Lets take a Imaginary family with names in all our examples and explanations

Father---- Rajesh

Mother --- Rani

Son------ Satish

Daughter---- Swapna

Query 1

Whether the sons and daughters of parents either of whom or both are directly recruited into Class-II / Group-B / Group-II and not got promotion into Class-I / Group-A / Group-I at the age of 40 or earlier be treated to be falling in Creamy Layer (i.e. Rule of exclusion)?

Ans

If both the parents are directly recruited into Class-II / Group-B / Group-II then their children will automatically fall under Creamy Layer, irrespective of their subsequent promotion to Class-I / Group-A / Group-I. Their children are disentitled to reservation (i.e Fall Under Creamy Status).

Ex:

Let Rajesh and Rani Both are recruited directly in class II / Group-B / Group II then Satish / Swapna will not be eligible for Non Creamy Status whether their parents are promoted or not. So they will be Treated as creamy so inturn general Candidates

If only one of the parents is directly recruited into Class – II /Group – B / Group-II, the children will fall in the Creamy Layer only when the parent gets promotion into Class – I/ Group – A /Group-I at the age of 40 or earlier.

Let Rajesh age is 25 at his Joining and rani is house wife and rajesh got recruited in class II/Group B/ Group II and he got promotion into Class – I/ Group – A /Group-I at age 39(i.e Below 40(40 included)) then Satish/Swapna will Not be eligible for Non Creamy and they are treated as creamy so in turn General Candidates.

On the contrary, if the promotion to Class-I / Group-A / Group-I is after 40 years, then the children will not fall in the Creamy Layer category.

Let Rajesh age is 25 at his Joining and rani is house wife and rajesh got recruited in class II/Group B/ Group II and he got promotion into Class – I/ Group – A /Group-I at age 45 (i.e above 40(40 Excluded)) then Satish/Swapna will be eligible for Non Creamy and they can enjoy OBC reservation

Query 2

Whether the sons and daughter of parents either of whom or both are directly recruited into Class-III / Group-C / Group-III will fall in Creamy Layer (i.e. Rule of exclusion)?

No. (Meaning They Fall in NON Creamy Category)

Explanation

Only when either of the parents is recruited into Class-I / Group-A / Group-I or when both the parents are recruited into Class-II / Group-B / Group-II, the children will fall in the Creamy Layer.

Let Rajesh and Rani Both directly Recruited as into Class III/Group C/ Group III posts then satish / Swapna Fall under NON creamy Status

But when Rajesh is Directly Recruited as Class-I / Group-A / Group-I and Rani is House Wife or Rani is Directly Recruited in Class-I / Group-A / Group-I and Rajesh is not in Class-I / Group-A / Group-I … Then Swapna/Satish DONOT Come under NON Creamy Status and they are treated as Creamy Layer Candidates and inturn General Candidates

And also if

Let Rajesh and Rani Both are recruited directly in class II / Group-B / Group II then Satish / Swapna will not be eligible for Non Creamy Status So they will be Treated as creamy so inturn general Candidates

When either of the or both the parents are recruited into Class-III / Group-C / Group-III or Class-IV / Group-D / Group-IV, the children will not fall in the Creamy Layer. This position remains the same even when one of the or both the parents get promotion to Class-I / Group-A / Group-I before the age of 40 years itself.

Ex:

Let Rajesh and Rani Both directly Recruited as into Class III/Group C/ Group III or Class-IV / Group-D / Group-IV, and Let they both have been promoted Class-I / Group-A / Group-I at age of 39(below 40) then still their Children satish / Swapna Fall under NON creamy Status

If they are promoted From Class III/Group C/ Group III or Class-IV / Group-D / Group-IV, at age of 45 (above 40) still satish /swapna Belong to NON Creamy OBC status(Refer Query 1)

Let Rajesh Both directly Recruited as into Class III/Group C/ Group III or Class-IV / Group-D / Group-IV, and Rani House wife and Let Rajesh have been promoted to Class-I / Group-A / Group-I at age of 39(below 40) then still his Children satish / Swapna Fall under NON creamy Status

If Rajesh is promoted From Class III/Group C/ Group III or Class-IV / Group-D / Group-IV, at age of 45 (above 40) still satish /swapna Belong to NON Creamy OBC status(Refer Query 1)

Query 3

Whether the sons and daughters of parents of whom husband is directly recruited into Class-III / Group-C / Group-III or Class-IV / Group-D / Group-IV and he got promotion at the age of 40 or earlier be treated to be falling in creamy Layer (i.e. Rule of exclusion)?

No. (Meaning they are still treated as Non Creamy Status)

Explanation:

Same As ABOVE (Infact Already Explained above)

Query 4

Whether a candidate who himself is a directly recruited Class-I/Group-A /Group-I or Class-II / Group-B /Group-II officer who got into Class-I / Group-A / Group-I at the age of 40 or earlier be treated to be falling in Creamy Layer (i.e. Rule of exclusion) on the basis of his own service status?

No. (Meaning they are still treated as Non Creamy Status)

Explanations:

It is clarified that the Creamy Layer status of a candidate is determined on the basis of the status of his parents and not on the basis of his own status or income of his / her spouse. While determining the Creamy Layer status of a person, the status or the income of the candidate himself or of his / her spouse shall not be taken into account.

Let Satish/Swapna is Direclty Recruited as Class-I/Group-A /Group-I or Class-II / Group-B /Group-II officer and later Prompted to Class-I / Group-A / Group-I at age of 39 then he still belong to Non Creamy Status as The creamy or Non Creamy Status Depend only on rajesh/Rani --Status / income But not on His own service status.

Query 5

Whether a candidate whose annual gross income is more than Rs. 4.5 Lakh per annum (Rs.4.00 Lakh only in the case of Govt. of A.P.) be treated to be falling in the Creamy Layer (i.e. Rule of exclusion) on the basis of his own income?

No. (Meaning they are still treated as Non Creamy Status)

It is clarified that the Creamy Layer status of a candidate is determined on the basis of the income of parents and not on the basis of his own income of his / her spouse. While determining the Creamy Layer status of a person, the status or the income of the candidate himself or of his / her spouse shall not be taken into account

Ex:

Let Satish/Swapna Has a Annual Income of 7 Lakhs Per annum then he will fall in OBC Creamy or Non Creamy Depending On the Salary of his Parents (Rajesh/Rani) But Not on His Own salary.(See Query 6 for Better Understanding)

Query 6 (**Most Important and Largest Misconception In OBC Status **)

What is the scope of the explanation “income from salaries and agricultural land shall not be clubbed” given under income / wealth test?

What is its implication to the sons and daughters of employees working under State and Central Govts, Public under-takings, Universities, Banks, Insurance organizations etc?

Explanation:

The scope of the explanation is that while applying the income / wealth test to determine Creamy Layer status of any candidate, the income from the salaries and income from the agricultural land shall not be taken into account. In addition, they shall not be clubbed with the income from other sources also.(i.e if they have business etc)

It means, if the income from salary / salaries of the parents of a candidate is more than Rs.4.50 Lakh per annum (Rs.4.00 Lakh only under Govt. of A.P), income from agricultural land is also more than Rs.4.50 Lakh per annum (Rs.4.00 Lakh only under Govt. of A.P),but income from other sources is less than Rs. 4.50 Lakh per annum (Rs.4.00 Lakh only under Govt. of A.P), the candidate shall not be treated to be falling in the Creamy Layer on the basis of income / wealth test, provided his parents do not possess wealth above the exemption limit prescribed in the Wealth Tax Act for a period of three consecutive years.

It clearly indicates that income from salaries and agriculture shall not be taken into account or they be clubbed with income from other sources while applying the income / wealth test.

It is very likely that the authorities connected with issue of caste certificates may club the income from salary and income from agriculture also and deny BC / OBC Caste Certificates to eligible candidates on the basis of income criterion i.e. income exceeding the prescribed limit.

It is, in fact, against the existing rule position.

This has relevance particularly to the sons and daughter of employees working under State and Central Govts, Public undertakings, Universities, Banks, Insurance organizations etc. The salary and agricultural income of the parents shall not be taken into account for determining the Creamy layer status for their children

But, if they have income more than Rs. 4.50 Lakh per annum (Rs.4.00 Lakh only under Govt. of A.P) from other sources, only then they be treated to come in the Creamy Layer category.

Let Rajesh is Working in State and Central Govts, Public undertakings, Universities, Banks, Insurance organizations or even in private Organizations etc in any one of the Above organization And earns a salary more than 6 Lakhs Per Annum and He also Posses a land where on it he cultivated rice and earned 5 lakhs per annum so total 11 lakhs per annum he is earning and let these two are only source of his income and his survival so even though it crossed the slab of 4.5 Lakh per annum Still his Children fall under Non Creamy Status as Agricultutre and Salary are not included in determining the Slab of 4.5 Lakhs.

Now Again,

Let Rajesh is Working in State and Central Govts, Public undertakings, Universities, Banks, Insurance organizations or even in private Organizations etc in any one of the Above organization And earns a salary more than 6 Lakhs Per Annum and He also Posses a land where on it he cultivated rice and earned 5 lakhs per annum so total 11 lakhs per annum and he kept a cloth shop/any Business in his area let he earns 5 lakhs Per annum and this is treated as other source of Income and 5 lakhs per Annum is treated as above the maximum slab of 4.5 Lakhs Per Annum so his children(Satish/Swapna) doesn’t fall under NON Creamy and they are treated as creamy so in turn general.

*******So whether The Slab is 4.5 Lakhs per annum or 6 lakhs annum or anything if increased in future the explanation Remains the same*****

RTI Act

· The Right to Information Act (RTI) is an Act of the Parliament of India "to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens" and replaces the erstwhile Freedom of information Act, 2002.

· The Act applies to all States and Union Territories of India except “Jammu & Kashmir”.

· Under the provisions of the Act, any citizen may request information from a "public authority" (a body of Government or "instrumentality of State") which is required to reply expeditiously or within thirty days.

· The Act also requires every public authority to computerise their records for wide dissemination and to proactively certain categories of information so that the citizens need minimum recourse to request for information formally.

· This law was passed by Parliament on 15 June 2005 and came fully into force on 12 October 2005.

· The first application was given to a Pune police station. Information disclosure in India was restricted by the Official Secrets Act 1923 and various other special laws, which the new RTI Act relaxes. It codifies a fundamental right of citizens.

Further, information relating to allegations of human rights violation could be given but only with the approval of the Central or State Information Commission.

Step By Step Procedure click here

The following is exempt from disclosure under section 8 of the Act:-

· Information, disclosure of which would prejudicially affect the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security, "strategic, scientific or economic" interests of the State, relation with foreign State or lead to incitement of an offense;

· Information which has been expressly forbidden to be published by any court of law or tribunal or the disclosure of which may constitute contempt of court;

· Information, the disclosure of which would cause a breach of privilege of Parliament or the State Legislature;

· Information including commercial confidence, trade secrets or intellectual property, the disclosure of which would harm the competitive position of a third party, unless the competent authority is satisfied that larger public interest warrants the disclosure of such information;

· Information available to a person in his fiduciary relationship, unless the competent authority is satisfied that the larger public interest warrants the disclosure of such information;

· Information received in confidence from foreign Government;

· Information, the disclosure of which would endanger the life or physical safety of any person or identify the source of information or assistance given in confidence for law enforcement or security purposes;

· Information which would impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders;

· Cabinet papers including records of deliberations of the Council of Ministers, Secretaries and other officers;

· Information which relates to personal information the disclosure of which has no relationship to any public activity or interest, or which would cause unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the individual (but it is also provided that the information which cannot be denied to the Parliament or a State Legislature shall not be denied by this exemption);

Notwithstanding any of the exemptions listed above, a public authority may allow access to information, if public interest in disclosure outweighs the harm to the protected interests. However, this does not apply to disclosure of "trade or commercial secrets protected by law ".

noreply@blogger.com (Gopi Srikanth) — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 20:18:00 +0000

Directions for 1 to 3:

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

Passage:
Where did the matter and energy of the Big Bang originate? Science cannot answer the question at present. In fact it seems impossible-perhaps likely-that it will never be able to answer that question. For it, matter existed in atomic form before the Big Bang, it did not carry information with it through the Big Bang. Thus the matter itself cannot tell us anything about its pre-big bang history.

Does this mean that science can say that there must be a creator, and that science has, after all, found a need for God? An Individual scientist may believe this, but science itself cannot use God as the explanation for the Big Bang. Science cannot use God for any explanation. It has been said that science avoids God. It does, indeed. The reason that science does not use God for explanations is basically that science has been successful in explaining the material world without reference to a God. Science, by intention, uses natural causes to explain natural effects.

We say that science is successful in its method because scientific explanations of the workings of the material world have led us to further understanding of that world. The fact that success has come without reference to God indicates that the material universe seems to be describable by completely Natural Principles.

What about cases where science is unable to find an answer? If science, when it comes to something that it cannot explain at that time, were to explain it by reference to God, the search for an explanation would end. If Newton had used God as an explanation for why things fall to Earth, he would never have developed the Theory of Gravitation. If we use God as an explanation for the Big Bang, there would be no reason to look further for a natural explanation. Use of super-natural explanations would shut down science. History however, tells us that it is profitable to look for natural explanations. Super natural explanations cannot be used in Natural Science.

There is another reason that science cannot use God for an explanation, and this relates to the reason that traditional science does not accept creationism as a science: A theory of science must be able to be shown wrong. A theory must be testable. Every theory must be regarded as tentative, as being only the best theory we have at present. It must contain within itself its own possibility of destruction. The 1948 prediction concerning cosmic background radiation was such a case. If the background radiation had not been found, the big bang theory would have had to have been adjusted, or—if enough such contradictions appeared— the theory would have had to be dropped and replaced with another. This has happened a number of times in science. It happened to the Steady State Theory and to other theories presented in the text. On the other hand, if science relied on a creator to explain the inexplicable, there would be nowhere to go, no way to prove that explanation wrong.

This is not to say that God might not be the Explanation. Many people believe that a creator is the ultimate explanation of everything. Perhaps some questions, like the origin of the material for the Big Bang, simply cannot be answered without reference to a creator. But in that case, science simply cannot answer the question. The question is beyond the realm of science. Science does not deny the existence of God. God is simply outside its realm.

1. Reasons are suggested for discarding god as scientific explanation; which one does the passage not suggest?

A. Science doesn’t embrace the beliefs of its populating members.

B. Creationism as a theory is not proscribed in science.

C. Material universe seems to be delineated by completely Natural Principles.

D. The progress of science lies in its theories being provisional.

2. Which if these would be a close representation of facts from paragraph 5?
A. Not believing in God has furthered science with the proposition of new theories.
B. Scientific theory inherently needs readjustment if not for chance discoveries.
C. to prove that creationism is wrong, science would have to accept it first.
D. Cosmic radiation has meant that Big Bang theory is readjusted.

3. Describe in a word the tone of the passage.

A. Acrimonious
B. Pusillanimous

Verbal Reasoning Set 1

noreply@blogger.com (Gopi Srikanth) — Sun, 18 Jan 2015 10:42:00 +0000

Directions for 1 to 6:

Please read the paragraph and answer the questions below Passage
Essentially human weaknesses are the same the world over.Man is the same trousered ape, whether he is in Delhi or in Detroit, whether he trudges barefoot on dusty roads or flies at 600 miles an hour. Whichever degree of latitude or longitude you traverse and whether the man is in dhoti or in blue jeans, he is the same selfish, fallible creature with his irresistible impulse to put his personal or sectional interest above the national interest. No wonder the State has to control the antisocial impulses of its citizens. Nothing proliferates so rapidly and so inexorably as bureaucracy and an ever-growing civil service has become a major problem in the United States as it has in India. Dr.Moynihan, who was formerly the U.S. Ambassador to India, recently described the U.S. bureaucracy as "a pea-brained dinosaur". You find on many occasions that the bureaucracy in the United States, as in India, has more information than knowledge, more knowledge than wisdom and more intelligence than imagination. Washington D.C . has been called "the malfunction junction" and I can name another city which deserves the title equally well. Having worked with government officials for more than a year, I have no doubt that the government has at its disposal highly equipped manpower, a larger pool of talent, expertise and dedication than the private sector or any other segment of society. But unfortunately there is something in the structure or system of a bureaucratic setup which prevents the highly gifted members of the civil service from giving their best to their country. Happy is the nation which can have civil\servants without the bureaucracy! President Harry Truman used to remark wryly that a President has to learn that he could give all the orders he pleased but the federal bureaucracy would not budge. When Jimmy Carter was campaigning for president in October 1976, he said that his administration would provide "incentives to individuals who saved the government money". He was referring to a dedicated civil servant, Ernest Fitzgerald, who was discharged from service in 1969 after revealing $ 2 billion in cost overruns associated with the purchase of a certain plane by the Government. However, Fitzgerald, who sued successfully to get back his job as civilian cost-cutting expert for the Air Force, finds it difficult even now to succeed in his fresh endeavors to save the government money. If the Fitzgerald case proves anything, it is that Hyman Rickover was only too right when he said, "If you must sin, sin against God, not against the bureaucracy. God may forgive you but the bureaucracy never will." In the United States, as in India, you hear constant complaints about excessive regulation and control. A well researched recent article in Newsweek disclosed some mind boggling facts. There are now no fewer than 87 federal entities that regulate U.S. business and to complete the 4,400 different forms they dispense requires 143 million man-hours of executive and clerical effort each year. The regulators are proposing so many new rules that the Federal Register has ballooned in size to nearly 70,000 pages annually. Companies complain that many of the rules are simply unnecessary. One agency often requests information already on file with another and at times rulings of one regulator conflict with that of another. The biggest complaint against regulation, however, is its sheer cost. Murrary Weidenbaum of the C enter for the Study of American Business at Washington University estimates the total annual bill at $ 103 billion. At General Motors, for example, more than 20,000 full-time employees work solely on government regulations. Hospitals are hard hit: in New York State, one-fourth of a patient's bill is attributed to the expense of satisfying rules of 164 government agencies. However, President Carter has succeeded in reducing federally mandated paperwork by 12 percent. Bureaucracy is the same the world over. Dr. Aziz Bindari blames the "catastrophic situation" in Egypt on the bureaucracy. "It's the country's fourth great pyramid. It guarantees societal inertia."
