As per Clause VI (a) of Creamy layer criteria “Persons having gross annual income of Rs. 4.50 lakh or above (The Income limit has since been raised from Rs. 1 lakh to Rs.2.5 lakhs w.e.f. 09.03.2004 vide DOP2T O.M, No. 36033/3/2004-ESTT(Res) dated 09.03.2004 and subsiquently raised to 4.5 Lacs vide DOPT O.M Dated 14.10.2008.) for a period of three consecutive years or possessing wealth above the exemption limit as prescribed in the Wealth Act for a period of three consecutive years will be treated as creamy layer.
According to Mr. Shailendra Wagadre All India Principal General Secretary APAAX (https://www.obcguru.com) interpretation is,
Here the word “for a period of three consecutive years” is important means that from last 3 financial years if the income of any one financial year is less then Rs. 4.50 lakh (The Income limit has since been raised from Rs. 1 lakh to Rs.2.5 lakhs w.e.f. 09.03.2004 vide DOP2T O.M, No. 36033/3/2004-ESTT(Res) dated 09.03.2004 and subsiquently raised to 4.5 Lacs vide DOPT O.M Dated 14.10.2008.) will not come under creamy layer and get the reservation.
Year Income
2007-2008 2,00,000.00 Rs.
2008-2009 4,60,000.00 Rs.
2009-2010 5,60,000.00 Rs.
Q.1. As per my interpretation a person with annual income ( business
income” )as per above mentioned years for three consecutive years does not come under creamy layer as his income for one of the three consecutive year is less than Rs.
4.5 lakh/annum.
Is my interpretation right or wrong ?
