Women's Reservation — Immediate, Delinked, with OBC Sub-Quota

Article 334A is amended to remove the delimitation precondition. Women's reservation of 33% is implemented on existing 543 seats for the 2029 election [@cite_106th_amendment_2023].

Within the 33%, an internal allocation is specified:

  • SC women — proportional to SC population.
  • ST women — proportional to ST population.
  • OBC women — proportional to OBC population from the 2027 census once available.

Before 2027 data: SC/ST proportions apply; the OBC sub-quota is added post-census. This uses the sub-classification logic the Supreme Court endorsed in its recent SC/ST rulings — applied to OBC women within the women's reservation category, not to overall reservation percentages.
