Maratha community brought under EWS Quota

In a bid to extend relief to the Maratha community in the State, the tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra on Monday extended the benefits of reservation for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) to the Socially and Economically Backward Class (SEBC).
Previously, the government had decided that the Maratha community could not take advantage of the 10% EWS category as the Maratha reservation was in force in the State.
The Supreme Court, however, scrapped the SEBC reservation in jobs and education, making it possible for the State government to extend the benefit of the EWS quota to the Marathas.
As per the government resolution, a person fulfilling the criterion for EWS would be eligible for a 10% reservation in educational institutes, barring minority institutes.
This would also be applied to State government recruitment. The resolution said the reservation would be above the existing reservation.
It also stated that the benefit would be available from September 9, 2020, when the apex court brought an interim stay on the reservation, to May 5, 2021, when the final verdict was announced.
