The Government is planning to bring a Bill to Parliament to clarify “some provisions in the 102 Constitutional amendment Bill” to restore the power of the states to identify backward classes.

In India, separate OBC lists are drawn up by the Centre and each state concerned. Articles 15(4), 15(5) and 16(4) expressly conferred power on a state to identify and declare the list of socially and educationally backward classes.

It appears there’s no single “OBC Reservation Bill 2025” enacted by Parliament yet. What we have, however, are key documents and notifications related to OBC status and reservation policy as of 2025:

✅ 1. NCBC Gazette Notifications & Central OBC List

The National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) publishes updated reservation lists via official Gazette Notifications. These define which communities are recognized as OBC centrally—and are the legal basis for reservation. You can download the latest notifications directly from their website (along with attached PDFs)

📘 2. Creamy Layer Income Criteria Report

A 2024/25 government-issued PDF outlines the criteria and income limit to determine "creamy layer" status—central to OBC eligibility under reservation policy

🏛 3. State-Level Updates: Example – West Bengal

Individual states update their lists independently. For instance, West Bengal released its new OBC List 2025, detailing categories and communities in a downloadable PDF—though this is state-specific, not a central Act

📚 4. Related Constitutional Amendments

• The 105th Amendment (2025) reaffirmed states’ rights to identify socially & educationally backward classes
• The 93rd Amendment (2005) enabled 27% OBC reservation in centrally funded institutions like IITs/IIMs
