    Those who are thinking that employee belonging from Reserved category are not efficient. However, i am in a opinion that this is a perception of those who used to oppose the reservation.

    Reservation can be reduced but not removed. Go to a hilly areas, slums, remote where the govt is lacking behind providing infrastructure, schools, colleges, hospitals, daily needs of consumption, overall its lacking behind than other places. If we take them as a part of our people, we should encourage to increase their standard and uplift their downtrodden life. Reservation should not be taken as competition neither a quota, it is a welfare means to help others.

    the reservations in promotions making a dent on the efficient employees abilities and the inefficient being in the upper echolons with out sufficient knowledge of work and work efficiently . Nowadays the officers of promotee Group B are become dependent on the subordinates for each decision they take as they dont have sufficient knowledge of work and got the promotion superseeding all his counterparts and seniors who had knowledge and efficiency but belopngs to the deprived group of unreserved category. At once the promotee officer is junior to his subordinates and not having sufficent knowledge makes him inferior and takes wrong decisions or kept the work pending without making any decision.

    Reservation is akin to affirmative action. A social obligation towards upliftment of those having social handicaps and helping them to achieve ability to compete with others in the mainstream of life. This is not a charity to be doled out grudingly. Those who have been denied of a chance for more than a millenium are now help with reservation. Reservation was first introduced in TN by Britishers when they found that more than 98% of the government positions were filled by a particular community. They introduced communal census in their government offices and then introduced 50% reservation for the communities other than the particular community. Hope this clarifies the issue on reservation

    reservation in promotion is still needed for SC/BC till 2020 to equalize the weekend sections of the society with general categories, as development of these categories is still not up to mark. They need more opportunity to uplift in the eyes of the social justice as dreamed by the pioneer of our constitution DR. B.R. Ambedkar.

    Reservation should be extended to SC/ST category candidates in terms of salary also as our govt think that those who take birth in Gen Caste are treated as billionaires hence their salaries should be brought down and those who are from OBC/SC/ST candidates their salaries should be hiked so that they may be able to cope with their poverty conditions.

    The latest commission should think about the reservation policy on promotion.
    In the Constitution of India, the reservation policy was inserted to UPGRADE the social status of SC/ST/OBC. Therefore, the policy should be restricted till the ENTRY to Govt. Jobs not on PROMOTION otherwise the word UPGRADE has to be quantified in the Constitution of India.
