2..Govemment have carefully considered the report and the recommendations of the Commission
in the present context regarding the benefits to be extended to the socially and educationally
backward classes as opined by the Commission and are of the clear view that at the outset certain
weightage has to be provided to such classes in the services of the Union and their Public
Undertakings. Accordingly orders are issued as follows:-
(i) 27% of the vacancies in civil posts and services under the Government of India shall be
reserved for SEBC.
(ii) The aforesaid reservation shall apply to vacancies to be filled by direct recruitment. Detailed
instructions relating to the procedure to be followed fOl:enforcing reservation will be issued
separately.
(iii) Candidates belonging to SEBC recruited on the basis of merit in an open competition on the
same standards prescribed for the general candidates shall not be adjusted against tl\e
reservation quota of 27%.
(iv) The SEBe would comprise in the first phase the castes and communities which are common
to both the list in the report of the Mandai Comission and the State Governments' lists. A list
of such castes/communities is being issued separately.
(v) The aforesaid reservation shall take effect from 7.8.1990. However, this will not apply to
vacancies where the recruitment process has already been initiated prior to the issue of these
orders.

public sectOr banks will be issued by the Department of Public Enterprises and Ministry of Finance

cies to be fJ1ledby direct recruitment Vacancies reserved for SC/ST and failing in the direct recruitment quota
cannot. therefore, be filled by general category candidates even by relaxation of the rules. Where a reserved

filled bya SC/ST cundidate even when it is done by transfer by relaxation of the recruitment rules. Filling up of
such reserved vacancies by general category candidates by resorting to the method of transfer is not
permissible.
