The Government has implemented the 'creamy layer' concept in pursuance of the Hon'ble Supreme Court's order in the case of Indra Sawhney and others etc. vs. Union of India and others [(Civil) No. 930/1990]. At present, there is no proposal in the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment for removal of Creamy Layer.

The Commission commenced functioning with effect from 11.10.2017 i.e. the date of assumption of charge by the Chairperson. There has been no delay in constituting the panel.

Certain States including Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have introduced sub-categorization within Other Backward Classes reservation quota.
