Ninth Schedule protection extends to the Tamil Nadu reservation Act, securing its constitutional status under amendment.

The amendment adds Entry 257-A to the Ninth Schedule to include the Tamil Nadu Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Reservation of Seats in Educational Institutions and of appointments or posts in the Services under the State) Act, 1993, thereby conferring the Ninth Schedule's constitutional protection on that State reservation statute.
