Your income or employment status is not a criteria to determine the status for OBC NCL category certificate.

Your parents income and their employment or economic status only will decide their category.

With the given information it appears that you belong to which category.

The Supreme Court has held that an individual candidate's income was not required to be clubbed with the income of the parents for the purpose of determining "creamy layer" to exclude a person of backward class from the benefits of reservation.

Referring to the Centre's Office Memorandum of 1993 on the issue and judgements of the apex court, a bench comprising justices J S Khehar and Arun Mishra set aside the decision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court which took consideration of the income of the candidate, a chartered accountant, to declare that the family belonged to the "creamy layer".

"The aforesaid determination was rendered by reading down the policy instructions issued by the state government, on the basis whereof, the backwardness of a candidate had to be adjudged.The aforesaid policy instructions were read down, to include the income of the person concerned, along with the income of the parents of the person, contemplated by the policy instructions," the bench said.

It is not possible for us to accept, that the individual's own income could have been taken into consideration," the bench said after analysing the Centre's office memorandum of September 8, 1993 issued by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pension (Department of Personnel & Training).

The apex court noted that even with reference to category IV, which includes professional's (like CA), the income of the professional, has not been included.

Thus viewed, we are satisfied, that on the plain reading of category VI of the office memorandum of September 8, 1993, that it was not the income of the individual concerned, but that of his parents, that would determine whether he would fall within the creamy layer or not," the bench said.

Firslty, Sir, for determining the PBC non creamy layer status, the income of the parents are considered not the applicant’s.

Secondly, in that case, after including the income of both the parents should not be more than 8 Lacs per annum.

Thirdly, you should go and apply for the same with all the relevant documents.

Dear,

Only your father's salary is countable in the process of determining that you are in

OBC creamy layer or not. In your case your parent's are unemployed and their

income is nil. So it means you are in non creamy layer OBC.

You are OBC NC, Income of Parent`s considered to examine Status of Creamy - non creamy, not self income.

Even if you earn 80 lacs, no matter, self income has no effect on non creamy status.

The OBC NCL category certificate is issued on the basis of your parents economic status and not on your status.

If your parents income is not exceeding8 lacs then you are eligible for OBC NCL Category.
