you do not fall with the creamy layer
2) OBC-NC for government employee is decided by status in the job not income
3) since your parents are class 3 govt employees even at age of 40 you would fall under OBC NL
4) you do not need to go through income / wealth test
sir, But we have non-irrigated agricultural land in our village from where income is 1 lakh. According to obc norms 8/9/1993,those who are having non irrigated land need to undergo wealth/income test..Even if I undergo wealth/income test,shall the salary of my parents or the agricultural income be included to calculate the gross income?Shall I fall under creamy or non creamy layer of OBC?
as per the Rule of Exclusion of Creamy Layer, the persons mentioned in
Category I, II and III with certain exceptions are excluded from the
benefits of reservation. As per Category II A & B (Service Category),
the son(s) and daughter(s) of Group A/Class I Officers and both the
parents of Group B/Class II Officers only are excluded from availing
the the benefit of reservation. All other Officers i.e. if only one of the
parents is a Group B/Class II Officer and all the Officers below the
Category II Officers are entitled to avail the rule of reservation unless
their other income other than the salaries and agricultural land
exceeds the income criteria limit prescribed in Category VI.
2)In fact the DoPT in its clarifications issued in OM
No.36033/5/2004 Estt(Res) dated 14th October, 2004 has clarified
with regard to the following question:
4(x) 4(x) What is the scope of the explanation, ‘Income from salaries
or agricultural land shall not be clubbed’, given below the
Income/Wealth Test ?
Answer: It was clarified in para 10 that while applying the
“Income/Wealth Test to determine creamy layer status of any
candidate as given in Category-VI of the Schedule to the OM, income
from the salaries and income from the agricultural land shall not be
taken into account. It means that if income from other sources
other than the salary and agriculture exceeds the income limit,
then only the candidates shall be treated as Creamy Layer.
4) you do not fall under OBC CL . you are entitled to benefit of OBC NL certificate
For Central government job or education institute, Income criteria is 6 lakhs p.a but this include income other than government salary and income through agricultural land.
Reservation is based on status of your parent not on income.
Income is just a factor to quantify status
if your parents are class 3/4 employee , and annual income is above 6 lakhs(no matter what amount) , but this is solely on the basis of the govt salary or through agricultural land , then you are still NCL not CL.
Even if I undergo wealth/income test,shall the salary of my parents or the agricultural income be included to calculate the gross income?Shall I fall under creamy or non creamy layer of OBC?
if your parents are class 3/4 employee , and annual income is above 6 lakhs(no matter what amount) , but this is solely on the basis of the govt salary or through agricultural land , then you are still non creamy layer and not fall under creamy layer.

no you don't fall under creamy layer because in Siddharth saini vs state of haryana (2001) 10 SCC 625; the supreme court has decided that amount of gross salary received by the father shall not be taken into consideration for determination of creamy layer and grant of benefit to OBC.
