Hi Krishna,

OBC is a term used for socially and educationally deprived or disadvantaged areas people and there is a provision of 27% reservation by the Govt. Of India.

There are two sub-categories of OBC:

1. Creamy Layer

2. Non-Creamy Layer

The difference between both are as below:

Creamy Layer:

- Income above 8 lakh

- Treated as equivalent to general category

Non-Creamy Layer:

- Income below 8 lakh

- Get benefits of govt schemes and examination.

Thankyou.
