Creamy Layer - Misinterpretation

Misinterpretation

Most of the people in India misunderstand the concept of creamy layer. Points that are commonly misunderstood include:

1. The creamy layer category of the candidate is decided based on the parent's post/income but not by the candidate's own post/income.
2. Eligibility regarding civil service roles is only based on the level he/she is in, but not by the salary they earn.
3. Rs. 450000 criteria will be applied only to business people but not to salaried people even if he/she is a salaried employee in the government/PSU/public organizations.
4. Business people's children will fall under the creamy layer only if they earn Rs. 450000 for a period of three consecutive years.
