7 months ago
Am I eligible to avail OBC reservation for competitive exams and make my OBC ncl certificate if my parents annual income is less than 8 lakhs but mine is more than 8 lakhs.
A.Dear Sir,
Always parents income will be taken into consideration as you are seeking employment.
7. The 2nd respondent District Level Committee, Chamarajanagar and members of the Committee
in its meeting dated 27.2.1017 raised eight questions and sought clarification from the
Commissioner, Department of Backward Classes, Bangalore as per Annexure-P dated 6.3.2017 and
also from the Government as per Annexure-S dated 25.3.2017. In view of the order passed by the
Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of SURINDER SINGH vs. PUNJAB STATE ELECTRICITY
BOARD, PATIALA AND OTHERS (AIR 2015 SC 537 .. para 11), the Appellate Authority as well as
the State Government clarified that the creamy layer status of a candidate is determined on the basis
of the status of his/her parents and not on the basis of his/her own status or income or on the basis
of status or income of his/her spouse. Therefore, while determining the creamy layer status of a
person the status or the income of the candidate herself/himself or of his/her spouse shall not be
taken into account. The clarification reveals that it is only parents' income should be taken into
consideration
