Creamy layer

This definition from "Sattanathan Commission" is debatable. It looks like the commission wants to maintain the nomenclature defaming "Off Backward Class" and withdraw the facilities. BalanceRestored 09:43, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

about the calculation

i dont feel the need to give more reference than already stated..as the calculation is quite simple..divide 250,000 by 4 for one individual..then divide by 365 to get per day per hEAD.. then divide by 40 to get the value in dollars...simple!!Cityvalyu (talk) 20:56, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Only OBC?

Any information about why the creamy layer has been put "ONLY" for OBC and not for SC/ST? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.2.252 (talk) 04:36, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SCs and STs

The article talks about "SCs" and "STs" but fails to explain what they are. Could someone please explain this? JIP | Talk 18:14, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

These unexplained appbreviations are called out with ^{[clarification needed]} tags now, and should remain so until they are clarified. Le Prof 50.179.252.14 (talk) 17:47, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edits of this date

The period to which the current and interim rupee creamy layer income caps apply is not stated in the lede, but may reasonably be presumed to be per annum (per 1 year), since this appears with the 100,000 rupee original figure. However, in the main body, the 600,000 figure is stated to apply to a 3 year period. This discrepancy between main body text and lede needs to be rectified.

At the same time, the article as a whole needs to be read by a person informed on Indain matters, but familiar with Western English-speaking audiences, so any remaining ambiguities of abbreviation and nomenclature are removed. There were, before I began today, three different abbreviation of rupees (symbol, INR, and Rs), and two different presentation of numbers on the order of 100,000 (general Western style, versus Indian style). I have standardized all of these, hopefully without error, but the edits would be checked by someone with both Indian and Western understandings.

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Creamy layer/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

As per the Creamy Layer rule, a person who's family income is less than 4.5 lacs,is termed to be under NCL(Non Creamy Layer),but what in case if a persons income is exact 2 lac/annum and his Father is an retired Doctor,aged around 66 yrs,continuing with a simple private practice of his own,earing around 2-3 lac/annum as per his highest ability....

Please advice me the needful.

Supreme court about creamy layer

I have just added new link regarding creamy layer. Creamy layer can't be excluded from backward classes on sole basis of economy.Just take a look of it. Similar to that of Indra sawney case. Steel pluto (talk) 12:53, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
