Central government has raised a proposal to set criteria for the posts in PSUs, government banks and insurance organisations, to ensure parity between the posts. The Centre has evolved criteria to identify posts in the PSUs, public sector banks and financial institutions comparable with those in the government to exclude the 'creamy layer' for the purpose of granting reservation benefits to the OBC employees. The need to draw up the criteria arose as there was lack of clarity in the comparable posts in the state-run undertakings and the government. This order merely stated that the criterion enumerated for Group A and Group B posts in government will apply to officers "holding equivalent and comparable posts" in the PSUs, banks and financial institutions. While categories like constitutional posts, Group A/Class I and Group B/Class II were clearly mentioned in it, there was no clarity in regard to the employees of PSUs, banks and insurance organisations.
