Supreme Court rules parental salary not sole OBC reservation criterion
The Supreme Court just made it clear: for OBC reservations, your parents' salary isn't the only thing that matters. Other factors, like what kind of job they have and extra sources of income, also count.
This backs up a big decision from March 2026 (the Rohith Nathan case), making sure the rules are fairer for everyone.
Court rejects Center delay, protects candidates
If you were worried about losing out on reservation benefits because of your parents' salary, take a breath: the court says you're still eligible if you meet the other criteria.
The Center asked to delay this change, but the court said no; current candidates are entitled to relief and benefits without messing with existing selections or seniority.
The government now has two more months to update its guidelines and handle similar cases individually, so things should get clearer soon.
