State policy context · Maharashtra
The Maratha reservation question has moved through the Bombay High Court, the Supreme Court's 2021 judgment striking down the SEBC Act for breaching the Indra Sawhney 50% ceiling, and the 2024 Maharashtra SEBC Act granting 10% — again under challenge. Separately, Maharashtra runs a 10% EWS quota and a distinct Vimukta Jati / Nomadic Tribes categorisation not mirrored elsewhere.
