The Other Backward Class (OBC) category in Maharashtra carries a 19% reservation in government and corporation medical colleges, and 9.5% in private unaided institutions. This 19% includes the Special Backward Class (SBC) sub-group, which has a 2% allocation carved out from within the OBC total. Candidates must hold a valid Caste Certificate, a Caste Validity Certificate issued by the Caste Scrutiny Committee, and a Non-Creamy Layer Certificate valid for the current financial year. The creamy layer income threshold is Rs 8 lakh per annum, consistent with the central government standard. Candidates whose families fall within the creamy layer are not eligible for OBC reservation and must compete under the OPEN category.
