The Supreme Court has finalized its stance: Scheduled Caste (SC) status is forfeited immediately upon converting from Hinduism, Sikhism, or Buddhism. A recent review plea dismissal cements this 2026 ruling as binding law.

- SC status ends upon conversion.
- ST status remains evidence-based.
- Legal protections are now strictly defined.

India’s reservation framework is officially locked—conversion changes everything.
