• Regarding OBC reservation in parent state after marriage in another state

Hello sir 
I am an OBC woman and I was born in Rajasthan. I got married in 2015 and my in laws is in Punjab. I applied for a govt job under OBC quota in 2018. Now the waiting list has been released last month and I am selected. Am I eligible for OBC reservation in rajasthan? I still reside in rajasthan as my husband works here and my voter and identity cards are from Rajasthan.

The eligibility for reservation under OBC NCL category will depend on parents status only irrespective of the fact that you are married or single. 

Hence you may have to apply on the basis of your father's status only

You are eligible for reservation under OBC NCL category on the basis of your father's place and status only and not on your husband's status.

If you have all the necessary certificates issued where youa re applying under OBC, then I wonder why you will not be eligible to get this benefit.

- Since, you have OBC and domicile certificate of Rajasthan, then you are entitled to avail the reservation in Rajasthan 

- Further, the income of your parents will be considered for making OBC-NCL certificate and not your husband.

Dear Client,

Yes, you are eligible for the OBC reservation in Rajasthan. Since you were born in Rajasthan, have an OBC certificate and domicile issued before your marriage, and still reside in Rajasthan with updated voter and identity cards, your eligibility for OBC reservation remains intact. Your marriage and the issuance of a caste certificate after marriage do not affect your original eligibility for the reservation in Rajasthan.
