Forty per cent of such surplus  area shall first be earmarked, according to the numerical order of field (Khasra) number, for eligible persons belonging  to the Scheduled Castes, the next ten per cent, according  to the numerical order of field (khasra) numbers shall be earmarked for eligible persons belonging to the Backward Classes and the balance fifty per cent according to the numerical order of field (Khasra)  numbers shall be earmarked for the remaining  eligible persons.
