Aug 13, 2014 at 12:11 comment added Hans Okay thanks again. At the moment, I can't see whether my problem reduces to such a situation.

Aug 13, 2014 at 11:45 comment added Yusuf Mustopa I figured that this might be the case. You are still okay if $y$ is in the smooth locus of the underlying reduced scheme $B_{red}.$ However, you may want to edit the question to emphasize your interest in the branch point case.
Aug 13, 2014 at 11:43 comment added Hans Thank you. But in fact, the case where $y$ is in the branch locus is the case where I am interested in.
Aug 13, 2014 at 11:37 comment added Yusuf Mustopa Is $y \in Y$ allowed to be in the branch divisor $B$ of $f$? If not, 1 and 3 can be settled by taking $C$ to be a complete intersection of sufficiently ample divisors on $Y$ such that $C$ contains $y$ and intersects $B$ transversally (this follows from Bertini).
