Ø  The Bill seeks to repeal the National Commission for Backward Classes Act, 1993.

Ø    Rationale for the Bill: The Statements of Objects and Reasons of the repealing Bill clarifies that after the setting up of the National Commission of Backward Classes under the Constitution, the Act will become redundant, and therefore, may be repealed.
