It is considered that, dispensing with the requirement of physical presentation of documents such as agreements relating to Deposit of Title Deeds, for registration, will facilitate ease of doing business.

STATEMENT OF OBJECT AND REASONS

The Tamil Nadu Second Backward Classes Commission headed by Thiru J.A.Ambasankar, I.A.S.(Retired) submitted its report in the year 1985. The said Commission estimated the population of Backward Classes, Most Backward Classes and Denotifi ed Communities in the State of Tamil Nadu. A survey of the entire populace of the State was taken by the said Commission for fi nding out the backwardness of all such castes and communities then existing in the State of Tamil Nadu.

Under the Tamil Nadu Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Reservation of seats in Educational Institutions and of appointments or posts in the services under the State) Act, 1993 (Tamil Nadu Act 45 of 1994), the Backward Classes and the Most Backward Classes as well as Denotifi ed Communities have been availing of the reservation of 30% and 20%, respectively, in admission to educational institutions including private educational institutions and in appointments or posts in the services under the State.

There had been consistent representations from the Most Backward Class of Vanniakula Kshatriya for providing separate reservation for them in admission to such educational institutions and in appointments or posts in the services under the State as they could not compete with the other castes and communities included in the list of Most Backward Classes and Denotifi ed Communities so as to get their due and legitimate share of such reservation benefi ts. The Chairman of the Tamil Nadu Backward Classes Commission examined the demand made by various communities to provide for internal reservation within Most Backward Classes and Denotifi ed Communities for various categories and recommended to the Government that internal reservation may be given for three categories, namely, Most Backward Classes (V) -10.5%, Most Backward Classes and Denotifi ed Communities - 7% and Most Backward Classes - 2.5% within the Most Backward Classes and Denotifi ed Communities for providing these better access to various benefi ts and to promote equitable development of the Most Backward Classes and Denotifi ed Communities in the State of Tamil Nadu.

The Government have decided to accept the said recommendation of the said Commission and implement the reservation policy accordingly.

The Bill seeks to give effect to the above decision.
