IAS Pooja Khedkar row raises question if it is time to update the OBC 'creamy layer' income ceiling

Controversy around Pooja Khedkar's certificate emphasizes delays in updating the 'OBC creamy layer' ceiling from Rs 8 lakh to Rs 15 lakh. Impacted are backward classes and government employees. February 2023 saw no update, and resistance exists for income criteria changes. Overdue ceiling revisions affect 27% OBC quotas, surprising the Modi government.
