Why NCBC Wants 35 Muslim Communities Removed from West Bengal’s OBC List,Need to Know ,UPSC 2026
The National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) has recommended the removal of 35 communities—mostly Muslim communities—from the Central OBC list of West Bengal.
This follows a reinvestigation of the large-scale OBC additions made in 2014.

What is NCBC?

NCBC is a constitutional body established under Article 338B, created to safeguard the rights of Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBCs).
It gained constitutional status through the 102nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 2018, which also added Article 342A, giving Parliament the power to finalize OBC lists.

NCBC’s Powers Include:

• Investigating backward class status
• Reviewing welfare measures
• Hearing complaints of rights violations
• Advising the government on OBC inclusion/exclusion
• Using civil court powers to summon witnesses & documents

Why were the communities flagged?

NCBC found that multiple inclusions made in 2014 were not based on proper procedure, lacked evidence, or did not meet the constitutional criteria for “backward classes.”
Therefore, the Commission recommended that these 35 communities be removed from the Central OBC list.

What happens next?

• The final decision will be made by the Union Government
• The ultimate authority lies with Parliament, as required under Article 342A
• If Parliament approves, the Central OBC list will officially be amended

This recommendation could impact reservation benefits, government jobs, and educational quotas for the affected communities.
