The government has no records of office expenditure incurred for the Justice G. Rohini Commission for the sub-categorisation of Other Backward Classes (OBCs) since September 2021, according to replies to Right to Information requests filed by The Hindu.
The Commission was formed in 2017 to sub-categorise the nearly 3,000 OBC caste groups and recommend a quota break-up among them. It was initially given 12 weeks to submit a report in this regard but has so far received 14 extensions - the latest one in January this year.
The panel is headed by former Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court, Justice G. Rohini (retd.) and consists of Dr. J.K. Bajaj of the Centre for Policy Studies as a Member. In addition to this, a Director of the Anthropological Survey of India and the Registrar General of India are ex-officio members while a Joint Secretary of the Social Justice Ministry is the Secretary of the Commission.
