As per the guidelines issued by the Department of Personnel and Training vide Office Memorandum dated 08.09.1993, sons and daughters of the persons falling in the Creamy Layer are not entitled to the benefit of reservation available to the Other Backward Classes.

The data on the number of officers and employees working in the Undertakings under the administrative control of the Government, (whose sons and daughters are not entitled to the benefit of reservation for Other Backward Classes), is not maintained centrally.
