1. Yes you are eligible there is supreme court decision which clearly states that the income of the applicant cannot be clubbed together with parents for purpose of OBC NCL only parents income has to be considered.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.

"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).

"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 while allowing the appeal of a candidate

2. Parents income

3. No post is relevant that is also of parents for government servant salary is not relevant.

Firstly, the tehsildar needs to be tought the law as whatever he said is incorrect.

Secondly, for getting the NCL certificate income of both parents can only be clubbed together not the person who is claiming for the same.

Thirdly, you can file a Writ of Mandamus in the High Court for seeking answers to him as why you should not be granted the same.

Dear Client,

The eligibility criteria for OBC non creamy layer is solely based on parent income

OBC Non certificate by income status of parents that also excluding agriculture income. It`s Union of India Notification and same ruled by Hon`ble Supreme Court.

Tehsildaar is idiot, Assail his order before collector.

Yes.

Parents.

No. Only to examine his/her children status not his.

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. 8 lakhs in all the last three years every year, you are creamy layer. It means that if this annual income is less then Rs. 8 lakhs for any one of the three years you are a non-creamy layer.

The creamy layer status of a candidate is determinded on the basis f the status of his parents and not on the basis of his own status or income or on the basis of status of income of his/her spouse

Therefore while dtermining the creamylayer status of a person, the status or the income of the candidate himself or of his/her spouse shall not be taken into account

5. This certificate is to be produced by “non-creamy” OBCs applying against reserved vacancies for appointment to posts/admission to central educational institutions (CEIs), under the Government of India.
