Government of Andhra Pradesh on 4th July 2007 decided to reserve four percent of government jobs and seats in state-run education institutions for 25 socially and educationally backward classes among Muslims.
The reservation for Muslims is based on the recommendations made by retired senior official P.S. Krishnan to provide reservations to "25 socially, educationally and economically backward classes of Muslims".
Syeds, Pathans, Sheikhs, Arabs, Irani, Cucthi Memon, Mughals and others, which are considered forward classes among Muslims, have been excluded.
It is estimated that 80 to 85 percent of Muslims in the state would enjoy the benefits of the reservation.

Based on the material available before the Commission i.e., the Anthropological Survey Of India’s “People of India Andhra Pradesh” series, the survey conducted by the staff of the Commission, the information collected by the Directorate of Backward Classes Welfare and the information provided in the public hearings conducted by the Commission, and in the representations, and the report of Shri P.S.Krishnan, Advisor to Govt., the Commission after due deliberations unanimously arrived at the following findings.
I.
1). Faqir: This community has been discussed in chapter V(1). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
2) Pakeerla/Borewale: This community has been discussed in chapter V(2). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
3) Labbi/Labbai : This community has been discussed in chapter V(3). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list
4) Qureshi: This community has been discussed in chapter V(4). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
5) Muslim Rajakas: This community has been discussed in chapter V(5). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
6) Turka Kasha: This community has been discussed in chapter V(6). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
7) Achukatlavandlu: This community has been discussed in chapter V(7). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
8) Guddi Eluguvallu: This community has been discussed in chapter V(8). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
9) Siddi: This community has been discussed in chapter V(9). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
10) Garadi Muslim: This community has been discussed in chapter V(10). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
11) Attar Saibulu: This community has been discussed in chapter V(11). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
12) Gosangi Muslim: This community has been discussed in chapter V(12). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
13) Sheik: This community has been discussed in chapter V(13). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
14) Hajam: This community has been discussed in chapter V (14). The Commission feels that this community should be included in the BC list.
II.(a) The Ahle Hadeeth, Ahle Sunnath Wal Jamat, Mahadavis, Sunni, Shia, Tableegi, Wahabi, who have made requests to the Commission for inclusion in the Backward Classes list, are all religious denominations or sects and not social groups. So the question of their inclusion in the list of Backward Classes does not arise. The commission tenders the advice to the Govt. that their requests therefore be rejected.
II.(b) As discussed in Chapter (V)(15) regarding Khoja, Arab community, Bohra, Irani, Mughal, Pathan, Syed who have also made requests to the Commission for inclusion, are social groups, but for the reasons mentioned in chapter V(15) they are not socially backward and they are not found to be eligible for inclusion. The Commission tenders the advice to the Govt. that their requests therefore be rejected.
III. The following communities which have made requests to the Commission for inclusion are covered under the name of their synonyms:
1) Ghantasaibulu is covered under Ghanta fakhir or Fakir.
2) Pamula is covered under under Pamulavallu in Garadi Muslims.
3) Chakali under Dhobi Muslim.
4) Khatik under Qureshi.
5) Noor Basha is already included in the list under Dudekula (BC – B)
IV. Requests have been made for inclusion of Dudekula & Mehtar. Both of them are already included in the BC list. Dudekula under item 5 in the BC-B list & Mehtar under item 39 in BC-A list.
V.(a) In addition to the classes recommended in the P.S.Krishnan report, the Commission recommends one more class, Achchukattalavandlu for inclusion mainly on the basis of the requests received by it, its enquiry & the evidence & facts presented to and gathered by it.
V.(b) In addition to the synonyms given in the report by Sri P.S.Krishnan the following synonyms have come to the notice of the Commission in its hearings, namely Bonthala, Pakeerla, Turakakasha, Darvesh and these have been added as synonyms in the appropriate entries in the proposed list.
V.(c) Commission also considered item 14 of the recommendation of the Advisor Shri P.S.Krishnan. It notes that this principle of excluding the socially advanced classes of Muslims has been in practice in the Central OBC lists for Kerala and Karnataka. This exclusion ensures that only the socially and educationally backward come into the BC list and should give confidence about the correctness of the inclusions. Further, it is also a fact that there may be communities or groups that are so remote and lacking in awareness that they have not moved for inclusion, and the State and its institutions and also academic scholars have not been able to reach out to them. Such groups will also be automatically covered under this item. They will then not have to lose time making requests and waiting for the Commission’s enquiry and advice and Government’s orders which is a time consuming process. One more important factor in favour of this item is that, in the various hearings and reports in the newspapers many Muslim groups have expressed the feeling that the Muslim community has evolved over time, that many of them have left their traditional occupations and moved over to the towns and cities and have left behind their ancient moorings, that many of them are not well to do and that there may be some segments of the Muslim population who would not like to be associated with the old professions which are considered as socially inferior or due to the basic egalitarian principle of Islam. Such groups would be covered under “Other Muslims”. The Commission also feels that this clause cannot be misused as all identified socially non backward groups are proposed to be excluded as proposed in Chapter V(15) and further as the creamy layer is proposed to be excluded. Hence, the Commission agrees with this recommendation of Sri P.S.Krishnan and recommends inclusion as item (15) of the following:
“Other Muslim groups excluding
Syed, Saiyad, Sayyad, Mushaik;
Mughal, Moghal;
Pathans;
Irani;
Arab;
Bohara, Bohra;
Shia Imami Ismaili, Khoja;
Cutchi-Memon;
Jamayat; and
Navayat, and
all the synonyms and sub-groups of the excluded groups and except those who have been already included in the State list of Backward Classes.”
VI. The Commission, after due deliberations and detailed consideration unanimously resolved to make the following recommendations and tender the following advice to Government regarding Socially and Educationally Backward Classes of Muslims:
1. That a Fifth Group titled “Socially and Educationally Backward Classes of Muslims” under the Head of ‘E' be created in the B.C. list.
2. The following specific Classes of Muslims be included under this group ‘E' of BCs in addition to ‘A,B,C,& D' already existing for reservation for admission into educational institutions and in appointment to posts and vacancies in the services under the state for the purpose of articles 15(4) and 16(4) of the Constitution of India.
