style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Extension of reservation:\u00a0 <\/strong>The Act provides for reservation in appointment and promotions in certain state government posts to persons belonging to socially and educationally backward classes.\u00a0 It defines socially and educationally backward classes to include persons living in areas adjoining the Actual Line of Control.\u00a0 The Bill amends this to include those persons living in areas adjoining the International Border, within the ambit of this reservation.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, the Act states that any person who has been appointed on the basis of residence in an area adjoining the Line of Control must serve in such areas for at least seven years.\u00a0 The Bill extends this condition to persons living in areas adjoining the International Border as well.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Exclusion from reservation:<\/strong>\u00a0 The Act states that any person whose annual income exceeds three lakh rupees or other amounts as notified by the state government, would not be included within socially and educationally backward classes.\u00a0 However, this exclusion does not apply to persons living in areas adjoining the Actual Line of Control.\u00a0 The Bill states that in addition, this exclusion will not apply to persons living in areas adjoining the International Border also.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>*Please refer the link for detailed notification:<\/strong><\/span> <a
