I shall begin with explaining the true nature and meaning of notification issued by National Commission of Backward Class regarding determination of persons who shall fall under creamy layer and who shall not. Before I begin to explain, it is impediment to illuminate that, the income criterion for determination of creamy layer was kept at Rs 1 lakh per annum in 1993, and revised to Rs 2.5 lakh in 2004. It was subsequently raised to Rs 4.5 lakh in 2008 and Rs 6 lakh in 2013. (Refer to attached Pdf file, extracted from National Commission of Backward Classes Page 1 OM No.36033/1/2013-Estt.(Res.) dt. 27/05/2013. Points to be considered for evaluating whether a person falls under OBC Creamy layer or Non- creamy layer: 1. OBC Creamy layer- Who has yearly income more than 6 lakhs or Government Employees of greater than class 3/Grade C are not eligible for OBC Quota. 2. OBC Non-Creamy layer- Who has a yearly income below 6 lakhs or Government Employees of Class 3/Grade C or below class 3/Grade C officers are eligible for OBC Quota. Having said that, the creamy layer status of a candidate for the whole lifetime is decided by the parent’s post / agriculture land / income in following manner: For Government Servant parents- By post/class: not by salary For Farmer parents- By Land Holding For Businessmen Parents- By Annual Income For Parents working in Private Sector – By Salary
