EBC Caste List in Bihar: Bihar is one of the most populated states in India, with a population exceeding 104 million. The majority of the population resides in rural areas, with only about 11.3% living in urban centers. The state is divided into five main categories, encompassing around 205 castes. These categories include General, Other Backward Class (OBC), Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Economically Backward Class (EBC).
Economically Backward Class (EBC) was introduced by the central government to support families with an annual income below ₹8 lakhs who do not belong to SC, ST, or OBC groups. This category comprises more than 110 castes that were previously classified under the general category before the EBC classification was implemented. The Government of India has approved a 10% reservation for EBC in government jobs and educational institutions. OBC and EBC are referred to as OBC 1 and OBC 2 respectively. Below is the updated list of EBC castes in Bihar.
