1) as per the Central creamy layer criterion II & III dated 08.09.1993 only the sons and daughter of following “government servants” will be treated as creamy-layer.
(i) Parents, either of whom is a Group-A officer. (Direct Recruitment)
(ii) Parents, both of whom are Group-B officers. (Direct Recruitment)
(iii) Parents of whom only the father is a Group-B officer and he gets into Group-A at the age of 40 or earlier.

2) in your case you would fall under OBC NCL as your father at age of 40 was not gropa A employee

3) for government employees only their position in the office is the criterion for non-creamy layer status. Excluding all Class I employees and direct recruits of Class II cadre, all other govt. servants having income greater than 6 lakhs are still eligible for the OBC non creamy layer certificates

Hi
If your annual family (Definition of family-father, mother & minor children below 18 years) income (excluding government salary and agricultural income) is more that Rs. 4.50 lakhs in all the last three years every year, you are creamy layer.
It means that if this annual income is less then Rs. 4.50 lakhs for any one of the three years you are a non-creamy layer.
