OBC Reservation
Eligibility – Do you
come under the
Non-Creamy
Layer?
LAST UPDATED ON FEBRUARY 4, 2022 BY
ALEX ANDREWS GEORGE

Do you belong to Other Backward Classes

(OBC)? What is the OBC reservation
eligibility?

Non-Creamy Layer candidates from OBC

are entitled to reservations in jobs as well
as educational institutions. However, many
candidates (and even some bureaucrats)
are ignorant about the provisions of the
OBC reservation.

If you are a deserving candidate belonging

to the OBC category, you should not miss
the beneMts of an OBC reservation (due to
ignorance). In this post, we shall see the
criteria for determining whether you fall
under OBC Creamy Layer or OBC Non-
Creamy Layer.

Other Backward Classes

(OBC)
Other Backward Classes (OBC) are socially
and educationally backward classes in
India. OBCs are distinct from Scheduled
Classes (SC) or Scheduled Tribes (ST).

The Central Government of India maintains

a list of castes/communities to be
considered as OBC.

BeneFts of being
included in the OBC list:
To uplift Other Backward Classes (OBC),
both the Central Government and State
Governments are running a lot of programs
and schemes. Some beneMts include:

27% Reservation Quota with respect to

the seats in Government Jobs (like
IAS, IPS etc) and Government
institutes (like the IIMs and IITs).
There is relaxation with respect to the
upper age limit for various
examinations like UPSC Civil Services
Exam.
There is relaxation with respect to the
number of attempts for exams.
There is relaxation with respect to cut-
off marks (only lower cut-off marks are
usually needed to clear exams).

Will all OBCs get the

reservation beneFt?
No.

I WISH TO KNOW MORE

Only if you belong to Non-Creamy Layer

OBC, you will get the reservation in jobs as
well as in educational institutions.

If you fall under the Creamy Layer of OBC,

you will not get the beneMt of an OBC
reservation.

Origin of Creamy Layer

concept with respect to
OBC

Non Non
Creamy Creamy
Layer Laver

CreamyLayer

OBC:
CreamyLayervsNonCreamyLayer

Due to the recommendations of the Mandal

Commission, the Central Government
issued an OZce Memorandum to reserve
27% posts in central government services.
The order was challenged by Indra
Sawhney (Indra Sawhney and Others Vs
Government of India) in Supreme Court
(1992).

The constitutional bench of the apex court

upheld the decision to reserve 27%
reservation for OBC’s in Central Government
service. But in the verdict, Honorable
Supreme Court cleared that the creamy
layer among OBC’s should be excluded
from the reservation.

Central Government constituted a

commission chaired by Justice Ram
Nandan Prasad to identify the creamy layer
among OBC’s. The commission
recommendations were as such approved
by the Central Government.

Based on this, the Central Government

issued an order regarding the guidelines
and criteria for excluding Creamy Layer
among OBC. The same criteria and
guidelines are still in force for identifying
Creamy Layer among OBC’s.

Note: There is no concept of the creamy

layer with respect to SC/ST reservation.

How can you know if you

get OBC Reservation?
Central Government maintains a list of
castes or communities which are given
OBC status. Check the Central List of OBCs
– based on your state. If your caste or
community is mentioned there, you can
apply under OBC quota – provided you
meet the Non-Creamy Layer criteria as well.

If the candidate’s community is mentioned

in the above list, then the next step is to
check whether he/she belongs to the
creamy layer or to the non-creamy layer.
You should note that reservations are
offered only to candidates belonging to the
OBC non-creamy layer.

How can you know if you

belong to Creamy Layer
OBC or Non-Creamy
Layer OBC?

The creamy layer is based on the status of

your parents.

For the jobs under the Central Government,

if the parents of an applicant entered the
service as Class I oZcer before the age of
40 (direct recruitment), the applicant is
considered as a creamy layer.

Also, if both the parents of the candidates

entered into service as class II oZcers,
before the age of 40 (direct recruitment),
and entered into the service before the age
of 40, the applicant is considered as a
creamy layer.

Who comes under Non-

Creamy Layer OBC?
Except for the above children of the above-
mentioned employees, almost all get the
beneMt of “Non-Creamy Layer” Status.

If your parents are not directly

recruited Class1 (Group A) or Class2
(GroupB) oZcers OR they do not
occupy any constitutional posts (like
that of President, Vice President,
Governor etc) you are most likely to
fall under Non-Creamy Layer OBC.
If your parents are not employed by the
government, their income should be
within the limits by the government to
be treated as Non-Creamy Layer OBC.

Income Limit of
determining the Non-
Creamy Layer Status of
OBCs
In order to qualify as an OBC non-creamy
layer candidate, the applicant’s parents’
annual income should be less than Rs. 8
lakhs.

Salary and agricultural income are not to be

considered as income for calculating
annual income for creamy layer status. As
far as the Government employees are
considered, the entry cadre/post is to be
taken into consideration.

While applying the “Income/Wealth Test” to

determine the creamy layer status of any
candidate, income from the salaries and
income from the agricultural land shall not
be taken into account. It means that if
income from other sources other than the
salary and agriculture exceeds the income
limit, then only the candidates shall be
treated as Creamy Layer.

Note: When the creamy layer concept was

introduced, the income limit was set at Rs 1
lakh per annum (1993). Thereafter, it was
raised to Rs 2.5 lakhs p.a (2004). It was
subsequently increased to Rs 4.5 lakhs p.a.
in 2008 and then to Rs 6 lakhs p.a in 2013.
The current limit is Rs.8 lakhs per annum.

Who is the authority to

issue the OBC Non-
Creamy Layer
CertiFcate?

Usually, the Non-Creamy Layer CertiMcate is

issued by the Tahsildar of the concerned
State Government. The procedure for
obtaining the Non-Creamy Layer CertiMcate
may differ from State to State.

Please Mnd below some useful links to

application forms and certiMcates
(proforma):

Application Form
Proforma 1
Proforma 2
Proforma 3

Will the candidate’s

Income be also included
while determining the
family income with
respect to Non-Creamy
Layer status?
You may note that ”Income” here refers only
to the income of the parents and not the
candidate’s income.

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 that of
his/her spouse (husband or wife).
Therefore, while determining the creamy
layer status of a person, the status or the
income of the candidate himself or of
his/her spouse (husband or wife) shall not
be taken into account.

In short, the candidate’s income is not

considered for determining the Non-Creamy
Layer Status of OBCs.

Info-bits which will be

useful for you to get OBC
Non-Creamy Layer
CertiFcate
With regarding parents under
Government employment, the status of
the job (Group A/B/C/D) is more
important than the salary. If your
parents are earning more than 8 lakhs
but their rank is below that of group B
oZcers, you will still come under the
Non-Creamy Layer.
However, regarding parents under
private employment or private
business, annual income is the main
criterion. Nevertheless, salary and
income from other sources should be
considered separately.
The main point here is to treat income
from salary and income from other
sources separately. Neither salary nor
income from other sources should
cross Rs.8 lakhs
in three consecutive years.
Check your parent’s salary for the last
three consecutive years. If in any of
the last 3 years it is below 8 lakhs, you
are qualiMed for OBC Non-creamy layer
status, provided income from other
sources is also less than 8 lakhs.
As per rules, group category A & B
(Service Category), the son(s) and
daughter(s) of Group A/Class I OZcers
and both the parents of Group B/Class
II OZcers only are excluded from
availing the beneMt of reservation. All
other OZcers i.e. if only one of the
parents is a Group B/Class II OZcer
and all the OZcers below the Category
II OZcers are entitled to avail the rule
of reservation unless their other
income other than the salaries and
agricultural land exceeds the income
criteria limit prescribed.
As far as Group B/Class II OZcers are
concerned, if one of the parents of the
children while working as Group
B/Class II OZcer gets into Group
A/Class I OZcer at the age of 40 or
earlier, then also the children are not
entitled to the beneMt of reservation.
But in case the Group B/Class II OZcer
gets into Group A/Class I OZcer after
the age of 40 years, the children are
entitled to get the reservation.
In PSUs, all executive-level posts,
board-level executives and managerial-
level posts are treated as equivalent to
Group ‘A’ posts in the government and
will be considered ‘creamy layer’.
Junior management grade scale 1 and
above of public sector banks, Mnancial
institutions and public sector
insurance corporations will be treated
as equivalent to group ‘A’ in the
government and considered as OBC
‘creamy layer’.
OBC reservation eligibility is entirely
different from EWS reservation
eligibility. Don’t mix up things. Income
and Asset CertiMcate needed for
Economically Weaker Sections (EWS)
among General Category is different
from the Income and Wealth
certiMcate mandated for the Other
Backward Castes (OBC) Non-Creamy
Layer.

One of the best resources for any

clariMcation regarding OBC reservation is
NCBC (National Commission For Backward
Classes) Website. For additional queries or
concerns, refer the documents listed below:

Government ClariMcations regarding

NCL
NCBC Supplementary Report
Persmin Report on the scope of the
reservation

What is the validity of an

OBC Non-Creamy Layer
CertiFcate?
The Non-creamy Layer (NCL) CertiMcate
would be applicable to OBC candidates who
are covered under the Income/Wealth Test
criterion. The income limit is decided on the
basis of income earned during three
previous Mnancial years preceding the year
of appointment.

To illustrate, the validity of non-creamy layer

certiMcate issued during any month of the
Mnancial year 2016-17 covering 3 preceding
Mnancial years viz. 2013-14, 2014-15 and
2015-16 be accepted by the concerned
authorities for any appointments or
recruitments which would be valid during
the period April 2016 to March 2017.

The appointing authorities would accept the

production of a self-attested photocopy of
the Non-creamy layer certiMcate, subject to
veriMcation of the original Non-creamy layer
certiMcate, as is the practice being followed
for veriMcation of other original documents.

With respect to exams conducted by UPSC,

the candidates are expected to possess
certiMcates dated than the closing date of
the application for the preliminary exam.
For example, with respect to UPSC CSE
Prelims 2019, the OBC certiMcate should be
dated before 18th March 2019.

While the OBC status of a candidate may

change only when the community of the
concerned candidate is removed from the
OBC list, his/her creamy layer status may
change at any time. Therefore, it is not
possible to determine a _xed
validity period for the OBC certi_cate.

However, for most practical purposes, the

validity of an OBC NCL CertiMcate is treated
like 1 year. If your OBC NCL certiMcate was
obtained before 1 year, it is always better to
get a new OBC NCL before applying for
exams.

Also, it is advisable to get the OBC NCL

CertiMcate in either English (prefered) or
Hindi.

What if you fall under

OBC creamy layer?
Candidates who fall under OBC creamy
layer (parents’ annual income more than 8
lakhs) are treated as general category
students. They do not have any reservations
at the Government institutions.

They can compete in general merit.

Conclusion
The purpose of OBC reservation (non-
creamy layer), is to uplift the most
deserving candidates among backward
classes. Except for the most privileged,
most of the OBC candidates usually come
under Non-Creamy Layer OBC.

However, many eligible candidates are not

aware of how to obtain the required
certiMcate.

To make matters worse, corrupt and

ignorant bureaucrats often deny deserving
candidates the OBC non-creamy layer
certiMcate.

By going through the provisions of the

government regarding non-creamy layer
criteria in detail, you can claim your
deserving quota without any harassment
from the authorities.

Let us know in the comments if you face

any issues regarding the OBC non-creamy
layer certiMcate. Either our team or fellow
readers or aspirants will deMnitely help.

Your income is not considered for OBC NCL

for you. Only your parents. Your

with more strict criteria than OBC, EWS

candidates do not have any age relaxation, what’s

Hi Alam,
If your caste does not appear in Central List

purpose! The certiMcate issued to you by the

carefully, it may be BC certiMcate & not the

However, if he earns more than 8 lakhs from

Hi Aman,
I presume that your father retired as Class C
employee from State Government. In case he
was promoted to Class A or B, I presume that he
was not promoted before the age of 40 years. I
also presume that he is not earning more than
Rs.8.00 Lakh per year from other sources
(excluding pension and agricultural income) for
the last consecutive three years. If my above
presumptions hold good, then I think, you are
entitled for Non-creamylayer OBC certiMcate.
Your parents’ income from only other sources,
e.g. bank interest, business etc. for the Mnancial
years 2015-16, 2016-17 & 2017-18 shall only be
taken into account for determining your creamy
layer status. Your and your spouse’s
status/income has nothing to do with issue of
this certiMcate.
With best wishes!

after standard deductions?
3. Will my gratuity amount be included for
income calculation?
4. Is income of current year ie. the year in which i
apply for OBC NCL certiMcate is only considered
or last 3 years if so Higher or lower of last 3
years?
5. Is agriculture income included as income for
OBC NCL certiMcate purpose?
6. In a given year if one is in business, then how
his/her income will be taken into account or how
he/she can produce income certiMcate for NCL
certiMcate as they will Mle only after the Mnancial
year completion?
7. After getting the certiMcate, if one gets a job or
earns more than 8 Lakhs, how this will be treated
for NCL eligibility.

Hi,
My father is on a managerial post in a PSU.
Salary is more that 8L but gross income (
excluding salary) is less than 8L.
Will his son fall in creamy layer or non creamy
layer.
As it is no where mentioned that whether salary
needs to be counted in income or not

Hi I am Piya,
My father was class 3 oZcer at time of
joining and retired as class 1 oZcer. I used to
get non creamy certiMcate under class 3
criteria. But after retirement in 2020-21 he
started private business with income approx
7.5 lakh per annum.
He is receiving pension amount 7 lakh per
annum.
1. Will this pension considered as “source
other than income”. It makes income from
other sources approximately 14 lakh.
Or pension will be considered as salary and
will be calculated seperately than “income
other sources (business here in my case)”?

2.if above logic held true, Our income “from

other sources” is more than 14 lakh for 2020-
21 only. In 2018-19 and 2019-20 it was
according to father’s government service
status criteria. And ” income from other
sources” is zero for two years. Am I eligible
to get non creamy layer certiMcate? ( As our
income was within limit for 2 years and it’s
more than 8 lakh for 1 year only. So it’s not
more than 8 lakh for theree consecutive
years)

Urgent help needed

Sir, revenue authorities are not giving non creamy

layer certiMcate saying that your father’s annual
income is more than 8 lakhs( private job).

I have asked many oZcers about this issue, but

they are also unaware regarding this.

Can you please give me contact of someone

known to you whose parents are in private sector
with income more than 8 lakh…and still able to
get NCL certiMcate.

Thank you.

Hi Ankur,
First of all, you have not mentioned the
profession of your father. If he is in service
(Govt./PSUs/Private sector), then his salary
income will be ignored for determining your
Creamy Layer status and income from other
sources will only be taken into account. This
income should not exceed ₹8 Lakhs
consecutively for three years. Suppose you apply
for a job in the year 2020, then “consecutive three
years” means-
Financial Year 2016-17, 2017-18 & 2018-19. If
income from other sources falls below ₹ 8 Lakhs
in any one or two of these Years, then it makes
you entitled for Non-Creamy Layer OBC
certiMcate. Since, Creamy Layer status is liable to
change, hence the validity of the certiMcate is
normally treated as being one year. Therefore, it
is advisable to obtain fresh certiMcate just before
applying for a competitive exam. which is spread
over a year.
Best of luck!

piyush says

“It means that if income from other sources other

than the salary and agriculture exceeds the
income limit, then only the candidates shall be
treated as Creamy Layer.” — i think there is some
misconception here, as per the NCBC link you
gave, salary is not considered for only for wards
of Govt. /PSU or equivalent employees. For
others, salary is considered but the catch is that
if either income from salaries or income from
other sources( not taking account of agricultural
income ) exceeds 8 lpa then he/she is not eligible
for OBC certiMcate.

Piyush says

The information above is not correct. As per the

NCBC link you gave, salary income is taken into
account where parents are holding posts for
which equivalence has not been established with
govt posts. In such a case if either income from
salary or income from sources except agriculture
is >8 lpa then the children of such prsons will be
in creamy layer.

further details.

1. My Father has joined Odisha Govt Services as

a ‘Lecturer’ in Class-2.
2. His 1st promotion to ‘Senior Lecturer’
happened in the year 2002 at the age of 45,
which is also a Class-2 service under Odisha
Govt.
3. His 2nd promotion to ‘Reader’ post happened
in 2012 at the age of 55, which is a Class-1

Sir,
I am an obc from punjab belonging to the lohar
caste and my father was a bank clerk in bank of
india. According to the notiMcation issued by the
gov india i should be coming under the non
creamy layer, but the authorities at tehsil sri
hargobindpur in district gurdaspur are adamant
that the cumulative income of whole family
should be less than Rs.600000/-. I tried
reasoning with them but they outright rejected
my claim and said that i belong to the creamy
layer.
What option do i have to claim my right in this
case?

Reply

Tarsem Chand says

Hi Navneet Singh,
Your problem relates to lack of awareness on the
part of lower level bureaucracy. Even the N.C.B.C.
have recognised this . Clearias has put all the
relevant clariMcatory circulars on this
website.You can show these to the dealing
oZcials.It would be better if you directly
approach at least the S.D.M. of your Sub-
division.If he is not convinced, then you must
approach the D.C. of your district.
Since, your father has been/is in service as bank
clerk, therefore his income from salaries is to be
excluded from the purview of creamy-layer. Only
household income from other sources,e.g. bank
interest,house-rent received, income from trading
in shares etc. is to be counted. And, this income
from other sources should not exceed ₹8 lakh
p.a. for consecutive 3 years. I assume that your
mother is home-maker.
If you meet the above mentioned criteria, you
should deMnitely get your Non-Creamy Layer OBC
certiMcate.
Best of luck!

Any of the learned members of this forum clear

yeras and getting above 8 lakhs s gross salary
incl Basic Salary,+ HRA,DA,TA,is his Son get NCL.
Which part of the salary be counted as income?
Is it Basic salary only or all emoluments together
be taken go calc Annual Income.

Respected Sir,
I have a query regarding the OBC certiMcate
procurement, Sir I reside in Karnataka state , my
caste is Vysya and in Karnataka state OBC list
“Vysya” caste is also mentioned as OBC.

Sir , no where in my school certiMcate my sub

caste as “Vysya “ is mentioned by my parents, it’s
just mentioned as Hindu and the same thing
continued for all my academic period.

I got employed in Indian Railways , on

Compassionate grounds on my Father’s demise,
my age then was 34 years, I was chosen for a
group “C” Clerical job with annual gross salary
around Three Lacks per year.

Now I am 45 as a group “C” Clerical employee

still with annual gross salary at around Six lacks
per year. ( as the salary goes on increasing on
yearly basis accordingly).

Now I came to know that I am “OBC”, I have

applied for the same (online) with all my records
as mentioned above , but my sub caste is not
mentioned in my school records or elsewhere.
Just it is mentioned as Hindu only.

And none of my parents have the sub caste

mentioned in their records.

I have a cousin brother in Andhra Pradesh

Who has a caste certiMcate mentioning “Vysya”
as his caste. As both of us have the same
surnames.

On this basis of Surnames being same, I have

applied for a caste certiMcate in my state, with
my cousins certiMcate as proof and also
submitted the same.

Kindly send me some suggestions to my “email

I’d “ what to do next if the application is rejected (
approach a lawyer etc ) and if I come under
Non Creamy Layer or not.

Regards

G Nageshwar Rao

Hello Clear IAS,

It was a nice article and pretty much very clear
and it also mentions about the doubts i had but
still some people say my scenario is different
that’s why this question.

My father’s total income is less than 8 lakhs. But I

work overseas and have foreign income
obviously > 10 lakhs. And i am married too. Some
says, Since i am married my income will be
calculated and not just my father’s. Also my
brother has income. Some mentions family
income include everyone in the family including
my brother. Am i eligible for NCL OBC certiMcate.

What do toppers' say

about ClearIAS?

"The ClearIAS platform is highly user-

friendly. It is quite easy to revise mock
exams on the ClearIAS mobile app. The
explanations are short, crisp and clear.

I practised and revised ClearIAS online

mock exams from my mobile whenever I
got time. It really helped me in my prelims
preparation. The all-India ranking helped
me to analyse my performance at a pan-
India level even before the actual UPSC
exam. Thank you ClearIAS”
