I hope you are proven correct that there is no need for any approval from the parliament.
As far as my knowledge of the parliament and constitution goes, any new bill or amendment to an existing act needs the approval of both the houses of parliament. You rightly said that even such minor things as govt. orders/amendment to rules are placed before both the houses of parliament for objections or otherwise.
Only hope that there is not much hue and cry by others on Jat reservation, though I am sure there would be many like Bishnoi and others who will rake up this issue just before parliamentary and state (Haryana) elections to polarize society on Jat-Non-Jat lines.
Instead of the Congress party, my congratulations to the Jat Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti and salute to the martyrs who gave up their lives for the cause of their brethren.
No soft corner for the Congress which did not hesitate to shower bullets on the helpless protesters and used lathicharge on women and the elderly.

AFAIK, inclusion of any caste in Central OBC list doesn't require Parliament approval. NCBC Act 1993 says that NCBC shall examine and advise central government to include/exclude any caste in OBC list and NCBC recommendations shall ordinarily be binding upon the central government.
Gazette notification is issued by Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment based on the Central Governments acceptance/rejection of recommendations given by NCBC.
Government tables a report to apprise Parliament its decisions based on the inputs of NCBC and it has always been there in the past. Parliament will not be any hurdle because it is not a new legislation. Jat Reservation is more or less a policy of government and not a new legislation because legislation is already in place of 27% reservation to OBCs.
We should wait for the Gazette notification by Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment.
However, inclusion/deletion of any caste in OBC list can be challenged in Court of law.
In case of Jat reservation, NCBC has given divided recommendation and Central Government has included Jats in OBC list because of elections. This can be challenged in court. Court can put stay on this in lack of proper study before including Jats in OBC list. At that time, it will be completely dependent on the arguments presented before court and justification by government to include Jats in OBC list.
Positive thing is that Jats are already included in various states OBC list.
