1) if Jats are not eligible for central OBC status then you are not entitled to be selected in OBC category for central govt job

2) you can be dismissed from service as you are not entitled for job under OBC quota

Dear Concerned,

Irrespective of the fact that you were know or unknown to the fact what happened is an error not only from your end but from the concerned government body / employer as well. But as you have been doing this job for last 13 years and have not be challenged for this it is better

to keep quite and keep your fact to yourself only - you never know their may be people who love you to an extent that they end up complaining against you.

Best of Luck

You were eligible for the employment under the quota reserved for OBC under which your community falls at the time of employment.

The rule has been framed only recently hence it should not hamper the employment procured at that time.

Thus in my opinion, there should be no cause of concern or worry on this aspect.

You can remain silent till you receive any notice in this regard.

You can fling into action after there is legal process against this, if at all any in the future.

You can fight it out based on the merits in your side when such a situation arises.
