Does my OBC status qualify for Non-Creamy Layer benefits?
Hello Sir, I hope you are doing well. My father joined the service at the age of 31 in 1989 by clearing the BPSC as a Sub-Registrar in Grade B and was promoted to District Sub-Registrar after turning 40. He retired in 2017. My caste is listed in the central OBC list, so will I fall under the NCL (Non-Creamy Layer)? Currently, my father receives a pension of ₹61,000 per month, and my mother, a housewife, earns rental income of around ₹6-7 lakhs.

Based on your father's service history, he was a Class II officer before 40 and later promoted. As per OBC-NCL criteria, if a parent enters Class I before 40 or serves as Class I in the last three years of service, the applicant is ineligible. Rental income isn’t considered. Verify with authorities.For further details, contact your Lawyer.

Sir, to qualify for OBC-NCL benefits, your family income must typically be below ₹8 lakhs per annum. Given your father’s pension of ₹61,000/month and your mother’s rental income of ₹6-7 lakhs, your combined family income likely exceeds this limit, making you ineligible for the NCL category. It’s best to consult a legal expert or government authority for clarification and verify the specific income thresholds for your state or central guidelines.
