The current status of Other Backward Class (OBC) reservations in Uttarakhand is as follows:

1. Urban Local Bodies (ULBs): The Uttarakhand government is in the process of implementing revised OBC reservations for municipal elections. Based on recommendations from a commission led by retired Justice BS Verma, reservations are being adjusted proportionally to OBC population levels in different municipalities. The revised system aims to ensure that the combined reservation for SC, ST, and OBC does not exceed 50%. In some areas, OBC reservations may rise above 14%, while others could see reductions depending on local demographics.
2. Legislative Steps: To expedite this, the state plans to promulgate an ordinance. The amendments to related acts are being tabled in the assembly to formalize these changes. For municipal corporation elections, the OBC reservation percentages are being updated based on the 2011 census and recent surveys.
3. Implementation Challenges: Adjustments in reservations at various levels (e.g., mayors, chairpersons, and ward members) are underway. The updates reflect population-based data, and detailed recommendations for different regions have been made, resulting in varied reservation percentages across urban areas.

These updates are part of the government’s broader effort to ensure equitable representation while adhering to legal constraints, including the cap on total reservations.
