The commission under former Chief Justice of the Delhi high court, G. Rohini, which is tasked with the sub-categorisation of the Other Backward Classes has been given its 14th extension by the President.

• The commission was formed by the President under Article 340 of the constitution in October 2017.
• It was first given 12 weeks to slot the nearly 3,000 caste groups that make up India’s OBCs into categories.
• The commission would then have to recommend how the 27% reservation for OBCs could be distributed among these sub-categories in a manner that was most equitable.
