Creamy Layer Exclusion vs Sub-Categorisation in SC/ST Quotas (August 2026)
Why in News / Context: In August 2026, the Union Government strongly opposed petitions in the Supreme Court attempting to apply OBC-style creamy layer exclusion to SC/ST reservations.
Core Facts:
- Creamy Layer Exclusion: Originates from Indra Sawhney (1992) for OBCs; excludes affluent individuals based on income. The Centre opposes this for SC/STs because their backwardness is social (caste stigma, untouchability) and cannot be equated with economic status.
- Sub-Categorisation: Validated in the Davinder Singh (2024) judgment; allows states to create sub-groups within the SC/ST quota to distribute benefits to more deprived communities.
- Individual vs Group: Creamy layer is an individual/family exclusion tool, whereas sub-categorisation reorganizes group-level access to ensure equitable distribution.
- Constitutional Authority: The Centre maintains that any list modification or exclusion must be enacted by Parliament under Articles 341 and 342, not through judicial directives.
"In which landmark 2024 judgment did the Supreme Court permit states to undertake sub-categorisation within SC/ST lists to target internal inequalities?"
Prism Memory Hook
STIGMA is not INCOME: Creamy layer is individual economic removal (OBC); Sub-categorisation is internal group equity (SC/ST).
