Sub-categorise SC reservations (A, B, C, D)
“ఎస్సీ రిజర్వేషన్లలో ఏ, బి, సి, డి వర్గీకరణ అమలుకై గట్టి చర్యలు.”English: “Firm steps to implement A, B, C, D categorisation within SC reservations.”
The verdict
The SC categorisation Act came into force on 14 April 2025, splitting the 15% SC quota among three groups (1%, 9%, 5%) rather than the four groups named in the manifesto. The manifesto's raise of the SC quota to 18% is not covered here.
Rule applied: Kept with a small dilution → 9
