Mr

Dear Client,
The eligibility for an OBC NCL certificate is determined based on the annual income of the applicant's parents if the income falls below Rs.8 lakh in a financial year. Regardless of sectors of employment either Public or Private, if the parent's income exceeds the threshold income limit, his son/daughter is not considered eligible for an OBC NCL Certificate. As per the DOPT circular no. 36033/5/2004-EStt(Res) dated 14/10/2004, page 5, Clause 7, applicable to a government employee, it is clarified that if the father of sons or daughters is directly recruited in Class - III/Group C or Class - IV/Group D employees and he gets into Class - 1/Group -A at the age of 40 or earlier his sons or daughters shall not be treated to be falling in creamy layer category regardless of the income that exceeds the threshold limit of Rs.8 lakh p.a. Group C and Group D government employees, even if their income exceeds the threshold limit, can apply for OBC NCL Certificates because income from Salary and Agriculture is not counted as their income.
