Frequently Asked Questions

BC-A vs BC-B in Haryana — which is my community?

Haryana has two sub-lists. BC-A (more backward): Aheri, Nut, Bazigar, Majhabi Sikh, Rai Sikh, and other very backward communities. BC-B (backward): Ahir (Yadav), Mochi, Jogi, Dhobi, Nai (Barber), Bhambhi, and others. Check the Haryana BC-A and BC-B lists at your Tehsil office — applying to the wrong sub-category leads to rejection.

Haryana BC certificate for UPSC — is it valid?

The Haryana BC certificate is for state-level benefits. For UPSC, SSC, railways, you need an OBC NCL certificate (issued at Haryana Saral portal). Your community must also be in the central OBC list (check ncbc.nic.in). Many Haryana BC communities (like Jats) are not on the central OBC list.

Jat community — BC or SBC in Haryana?

Jats are categorized under SBC (Special Backward Class) in Haryana. However, this has been legally contested. Check the current Supreme Court / Punjab & Haryana High Court orders before applying as SBC. For central OBC, Jats are not on the central OBC list for Haryana.
