OBC Creamy and non creamy layer -How to get OBC certificate ?

What is OBC?
Other Backward Class (OBC) is a collective term used by the Government of India to classify castes which are socially and educationally disadvantaged. It is one of several official classifications of the population of India, along with Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SCs and STs). 

How do I know if I belong to OBC or not  ?

The above link will help you decide if you belong to BC (Backward class) community. Further ,BC is classified into creamy layer and non creamy layer. If you belong to Non creamy layer ,then you belong to OBC.


What is Creamy layer ?
The term creamy layer was first coined by Justice Krishna Iyer in 1975 in State of Kerala vs NM Thomas case, wherein he observed that the benefits of reservation are snatched away by the top creamy layer of the 'backward' caste or class, thus keeping the weakest among the weak always weak.
They are not eligible for government sponsored benefits in education and employment.
In UPSC, there are separate cutoffs for the General category and OBC category .The cutoff of the OBC category is slightly lower than the General Cutoff.

The  candidates belonging to creamy layer are taken under “General Category’
Please Note -The creamy layer is only applicable in the case of Other Backward Castes and not applicable on other group like SC or ST. 

Who belongs to Creamy layer ?

For children of persons in civil services, please note that the below list belongs to creamy layer





Important Note –
  1.         If you belong to creamy layer because of the above conditions ,you will continue to fall in creamy layer even after your parents retire from service.
  2. .       YOUR INCOME/STATUS DOES NOT MATTER.  Creamy layer is based on the status of your parents and has nothing to do with your income/status nor the status/income of your spouse.
  3. .       Eligibility regarding  government employee is based upon his level, and not his salary. Example –If your parents are earning 7 lakhs and they are below group B officers ,you will still come under ‘NON CREAMY LAYER.’


For children of PUBLIC SECTOR UNDERTAKINGS/PRIVATE SECTOR


If you  are not able to establish equivalence vis-à-vis government jobs,then
Compute the income of your parents from salaries and income from other sources separately.(Income from other sources excludes salaries and agricultural land)

Income from Salaries(FOR 3 CONSECUTIVE YEARS)
Income from other sources(FOR 3 CONSECUTIVE YEARS)
STATUS
More than 6 lakhs
More than 6 lakhs
CREAMY LAYER
Less than 6 lakhs
More than 6 lakhs
CREAMY LAYER
More than 6 lakhs
Less than 6lakhs
CREAMY LAYER
Less than 6 lakhs
Less than 6 lakhs
NON CREAMY LAYER

FOR CHILDREN OF  “PROFESSIONAL CLASS AND THOSE ENGAGED IN TRADE AND INDUSTRY “
Professional class means doctor, lawyer, management consultant , artist, film actor, engineer, architect, sportsperson, media professional , etc.

If the Gross annual income is less than 6 lakhs and wealth is above exemption limit , you shall be treated as “CREAMY LAYER”.
Note -For computation of gross annual income, do not include ‘Income from salaries and income from agricultural land’

I belong to non creamy layer .How do I get certicate for the UPSC exam ?
OBC certificate along with ‘non creamy layer’ mention has to be obtained from the local Tahsildar.

What is the validity period of my OBC certificate ?

      If your mother is a group B officer, then also you will fall under creamy layer.

    1. hi ,
      your income does not come into consideration anywhere.
      OBC status is on the basis of income/status of your parents.

    2. Hi, but there was a rule that if the applicant is a doc/engineer or such a professional, then the parent's income should be not more than 1 lakh per annum for the candidate to be eligible for nc. Is that true?

      Delete
    3. Hi,
      can you please share the source of the rule ?
      I just went through the government orders. I didnot find any such rule there.

    2. Sir

      In practise, the local village authorities do not adhere to the terms mentioned in the Official Notification.
      They simply rely on annual gross income of the family. If the candidate declares his/her income, that too is included for calculating the creamy layer limit.How to go about this? Because of this many genuine candidates are deprived of the opportunity.

      further, many of the authorities are not aware of the fact that the creamy layer criteria is based on the status of the candidate's parents (if they are govt employees) and not by their income. Such a deep misunderstanding prevails all over. Even the forms they provide does not contain appropriate coloumns.

      Sir, how to address this lacunae. It's a serious breach of govt guidelines, surprisingly by the govt officials themselves.

    3. Hi Soumia,
      If the local village authorities do not accept,please go the tehsiladar .And if you still need help, let me know.

    My father's income from all sources (agriculture + private job) is less than Rs 6,00,000. I belong to the central list of OBC. At the time of filling UPSC CSE 2016 Prelims application form I did not have OBC certificate, so I applied as OBC (Creamy Layer).
    Sir, do I still need to produce OBC certificate before UPSC at any stage since OBC (Creamy Layers) are regarded as general category candidates?

  35. Hello Sir, as per the last para (note 6) in chapter 2 of http://persmin.gov.in/DOPT_Brochure_Reservation_SCSTBackward_Index.asp document, where the scope of reservation is discussed, income from salary and agriculture will not be clubbed for the income/wealth test of sons and daughters of PSU employees. The income from sources other than above should not exceed 6 lac per anum as per this. Can you please confirm this and correct me if my understanding is wrong. Also, please share the real reason behind the disqualification of supposedly 120 candidates from the UPSC-2015 final list, if you have any pointers on the same?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. hi anvesh,from where to compare equivalent posts/class for jobs in psu?

      Delete
    2. I think that is one of the contentious issues right now because of which 35 of candidates from final list, who are also wards of PSU employees are not allocated any service. So, ideally the PSUs should've defined this with the help of related government authorities. As they haven't done it so far, the candidates may face disqualification. At the outset, this seems to be unjust as DoPT is taking action on these grounds for the first time.

      See this for BSNL: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:4bHcP6ebSokJ:www.stp.bsnl.co.in/jurisdiction/PAY%2520SCALES%2520OF%2520CADRES%2520IN%2520STP.htm+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=in&client=firefox-b

      Delete
    3. thanks anvesh,if you see the rules are same for last 23 years,the change was just that the upper limit for income/wealth test has been raised to 6 lakhs.there is no clarity as one can see at one place they have given that while calculating gross income "income from salary and agriculture " shd not be clubbed

      Delete
    4. Yes,you are correct...In the latest report it has been mentioned clearly that salary income wont be clubbed...Half of the popluation don't have any clear knowledge yet they give their views.

    I had to apply for new OBC NCL certificate for Interview. I went to the e-Centre.
    I have an ITR of my father. He is Group- C employee (Teacher) with more than 30 year service. This year gross income is 6.15 lakh.
    The person sitting there told me that I can't be issued OBC certificate as I fall in creamy layer. He only knows 6L is criteria.
    I showed him relevant clauses which he hardly understands. (Group- C/III, Culmulative: 5.2L+5.8L+6.15L, Agri-Salary-Other Sources)He told the Revenue Inspector to whom he forwards doesn't allow certificates for income above 6L. Whom do I contact to make sure the issuing authority is made to understands the basic clause.
    The worrying aspect is everyone nearby is showing less income by editing due to this. He asked me to do the same. I asked him to forward it with 6.15 L income.
    Whom do I have to contact if RI doesn't not get the point? SDM or DM or anyone else?

    Whom do I have to contact if RI doesn't not get the point?

    1. No. your OBC status depends on the income of your parents and not your husband. Kindly show him the Government order or please contact the DM.

    2. Yes but at the time of joining my father was class three officer and at the time of retirement he was class two. So, in that case it depends on father status or its income

  72. Dear sir,
    I wish to apply for some higher posts but my obc ncl application is rejected as I myself am a class 1 officer ( & medical doctor getting NPA) in a Central Govt. Autonomous organization. My father’s income is less than 3 lakh and he is self employed. Please clarify is the rule 8 in the document ( http://ccis.nic.in/WriteReadData/CircularPortal/D2/D02adm/36033_5_2004-Estt.SCT-14102004.pdf) is applicable in my case or any other reason is there for the rejection of my application. Please share the related documents. Thanks for your efforts in advance.
