The castes that count as OBC in Odisha are those in the Central List of OBCs for Odisha, kept by the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC). The list has 200 entries, and many entries cover several names, for example Barika, Bhandari, Napit and Nai.

How to check:

  1. Open the NCBC Central List of OBCs for Odisha.
  2. Search for your caste name and its other spellings.
  3. Note the entry number and the Government of India resolution shown beside it.
  4. If your caste name is spelt differently in your land records, carry the ROR or a parentтАЩs caste certificate to your Tahasil office.

Being on the central list alone is not enough for an OBC (non-creamy layer) certificate. Your family must also pass the income and service test.
