Can I claim for non creamy layer status when father has government job


24-Feb-2023 (In Documentation Law)
My Parents separated and divorced. Dad has no contact nor pays for us in ANY manner. It's hard to make ends meet with mom's private job n 20k salary. I'm in college brother in class 11. Dad is class 1 officer but we don't benefit from it. Can I avail OBC Non Creamy Layer reservation for a govt job? Though my father earns so much, in reality the annual income we thrive on is only around 2.5 lakhs p.a. earned by mom. Can I claim for non creamy layer obc.

Your mother can claim maintenance u/s 125 of CrPC however, you can apply for the non creamy layer certificate as the earning on which you are surviving is your mother's. Thus, you are eligible for both the options.

Yes, you can since your parents are separated and your mother raised you up. You can avail OBC Non Creamy Layer Status. As the Law observed that Single mothers' children will acquire their status if they are below that line than child will also acquire that.
