My father passed in 02 yr ago and elder brother, age 18+ has business shop income around 03 lakh. My uncle, age 32 has govt Job group B, living separately. I belong to OBC Non cremy layer. Can I apply for less than 1 lakh family income as my individual income is zero.

As per Government of India norms, the term “family income” includes the income of parents (if alive) and dependent members of the family residing jointly. Since your father is deceased and your uncle is living separately, his income will not be included in your family income. Only the income of your mother (if any) and dependent brother’s income from business (₹3 lakh approx.) will be counted. Therefore, your family income will be considered around ₹3 lakh per annum. You cannot show your individual income as zero for OBC non-creamy layer certificate or college admission purpose, as it is the family income which is relevant, not individual income.
