Union Cabinet has approved 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities within the 27 per cent reservation for other Backward Classes, (OBC).
Top government sources said that the decision to this effect was taken at a cabinet meeting last evening.
This decision will pave the way for reservation in government jobs and educational institutions for minorities as defined in section 2 (C) of the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992.
Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists and Zoroastrians (Parsis) are notified as minority communities under Section 2 (c) of the Act.
The sub-quota will be notified by an executive order, to be issued separately.
