Apparently Pillais have 3 sub-castes of which only the Saiva Pillais are FC and the rest are BC
Isai Velala is BC, Suzhi velala is BC, kar-katha velala ( Saiva Pillai ) is FC,
So what happens is that many of the Saiva Pillais get fake caste certificates as Suzhi velalas and get reservation
And since physically a Saiva velala looks the same as a non-Saiva velala, they can get away with it

According to the TN govt lists, http://www.tn.gov.in/departments/bclist.htm, http://www.tn.gov.in/departments/mbclist.htm
Isai Velala is MBC in TN!
I dont understand why these castes are BC - Sourashtra (generally rich community), Telugu Chetty, Twenty four Manai Telugu Chetty (very wealthy jewellers community)! could not digest this!
