In 2015, the National Commission for Backward Classes had recommended the income ceiling limit of Rs.15 lakhs to determine the Creamy Layer within OBCs. However, it was not considered, he said.

It was mandatory to review the OBC Creamy Layer policy for every three years and it was due in 2020 and 2023 is nearing end. OBCs had become restless and restive due to the delay in deciding the OBC Creamy layer, said Krishnamohan Rao.
