Hey there, Pune peeps! Big news coming your way – the Maharashtra government is shaking things up when it comes to student benefits. That’s right, no more stressing about submitting income proof for those from the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) category who are looking for tuition and examination fee reimbursement. Instead, all you need is a non-creamy layer certificate to prove your eligibility.
Thanks to the Reservation for SEBC Act, 2024, the state is now offering a 10% reservation in public sector appointments and educational institution admissions for SEBC students. And to make things easier, new guidelines have been put in place for getting caste certificates and non-creamy layer certificates to ensure smooth implementation of these reservations.
But wait, there’s more! The benefits don’t stop at SEBC students. The Other Backward Classes Welfare Department is extending this policy to students from Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), and Special Backward Classes (SBC) who are pursuing select professional courses. Whether you’re studying in a government, non-government aided, or private unaided institution, including technical colleges and government universities, you can now reap the rewards.
Executive Officer Prashant Waman from the General Administration Department has given the green light to this change, making it official that a non-creamy layer certificate is all you need to access these benefits. So, get ready to say goodbye to income proof headaches and hello to a smoother process for student reimbursements in Maharashtra!
