Reason behind asking religious minority status in UPSC form? What relaxations or benefits to expect?

edited November 2014 in Current Affairs
Hi.
They asked our religious minority status in the UPSC form. Just wanted someone to clarify what relaxations will they get?
May be in Cadre or service allotment?

Thanks.

    Its only for statistical reasons. Nothing else

    Religion based positive discrimination would be against the constitution, IMHO. It's probably just for statistics.
  • Alright thanks!
    was just wondering if they would be given preference in the allotment of cadre or something!

    Stats only. Various statutory bodies such as Natl Commission for Minorities etc, need this info for their records.
