I have a doubt regarding OBC NCL criteria


02-Jan-2026 (In Civil Law)
I belong to an OBC community recognized under the Central List. Both my parents are deceased. I am currently employed and have been earning for the last two years. My gross annual income from salary is approximately ₹22 lakh p.aand I also receive rental income of about ₹9.6 lakh p.a. in my own name. I have no parental income as they are not there and I am servicing existing money lender taken debts. I was under obc ncl 2 years ago. Things just changed.will I still come under obc NCL or not

Yes, you would likely still come under the OBC Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) category based on the current Central Government criteria. The primary factors determining NCL status are not the parents' income and occupational status, and applicant's own income. Hence to include yourself in OBC ncl status we have to file a writ petition in the high court.

National Commission for backward classes ( NCBC) who maintains the OBC has margined into two benefit catagory that is 1) Creamy Layer 2) Non Creamy Layer on family income. in your case your parents demised. (8 lakhs was the limit to claim benefit ) ,whereas you are employed and your annual income is 22 lakh PA. you cannot claim the benefits of OBC reservation. Because you fall under the Creamy layer catagory.
