My father is a retd PG assistant in govt aided management school. His pensionable income is around 4 lakhs for past 3 years.
There is no equivalence of posts defined in the state govt for aided schools.

Dear Sir,

 

EQUIVALENT POSTS FOR OBC CREAMY LAYER.. PLEASE VISIT FOLLOWING LINK CAREFULLY

http://www.ncbc.nic.in/Writereaddata/Supplementary%20Creamy%20Layer%20Report%20241115%20final%20at%20430PM%20Corrected%20by%[deleted]%20page%20no[deleted].pdf

 

Income of your parents only will be calculated. Thus you can get the certificate.

The government will consider the parents’ status to determine “creamy layer” instead of status of the candidate applying for the job. In case of women candidates, too, the parents’ status will be considered and not the husband’s status.

Validity period

Please note that there is no validity period of OBC-NC Certificates.
The Department of Personnel & Training, clarified its position Govt. of India vide OM No. 36033/4/97-Estt.(Res.) dt. 25th July 2003.
It is only a misconception that there is a validity period of OBC-NC Certificate.
Thus OBC-NC Certificate is absolutely valid even if issued for more than 3 years ago but with a self - declaration given by the Candidate as per the format mentioned in the OM.

How do I calculate the gross income of my parents (who are government employees) to determine whether I belong to non-creamy layer or not in order to get the OBC reservation?

According to Para 10 of No. 36033/5/2004 - Estt. (Res.)  which is a clarification issues to all state chief secretaries regarding clarification on OBC Creamy layer, income from Salaries and Agriculture should not be considered for calculating the gross income. Only the income apart from salaries and agriculture are to be considered.

The para 9 & 10 states as follow:

  1. Creamy layer status of sons and daughters of persons employed in organizations where equivalence or comparability of posts vis-a-vis posts in Government has not· been evaluated is determined as follows:

Income of the parents from the salaries and from the other sources [ other than salaries and agricultural land] is determined separately. If either the income of the parents from the salaries or the income of the parents from other sources __ [ other than salari"es and agricultural land] exceeds the limit of Rs.8 lakh per annum for a period of three consecutive years, the ·sons and daughters of such persons shall be treated to fall in creamy layer. But the sons and daughters of parents whose· income from salaries is less than Rs. 8 lakh per annum and income from other sources is also Jess than Rs.8 lakh per annum will not be treated as falling in creamy lay r even if the sum of the income from salaries and the income from the other sources is more than Rs.8 lakh per annum for a period of three consecutive years. It may be noted that income from agricultural land is not taken into account while applying the Test.

  1. In regard to clause (x) of para 4, it is clarified 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 salaries of the parents of any candidate is more than Rs. '8 lakh per annum, income from agricultural land is more than Rs. 8 Jakh per annum> but income from other sources is less than Rs. 8 lakh per annum> the candidate shall not be treated to be falling in creamy layer on the basis of Income/Wealth Test provided his parent(s) do not possess wealth above the exemption limit as prescribed in the Wealth Tax Act for a period of three consecutive years.

So, if your parents do not belong to higher class jobs, if they have income less than 6  lakh(%% Got revised in 2013)  from sources other than salaries and agriculture  and their wealth is within the limit , then u are eligible for non creamy layer benefits

Misinterpretation

Most of the people in India misunderstand the concept of creamy layer. Following are some key points that usually misunderstood by the people.

  1. The creamy layer category of the candidate will be decided based on the parent’s post/income but not by the candidate’s self post/income.
  2. Eligibility regarding a government servants is only based on the level he/she is in, but not by the salary they earn.
  3. 800000 criteria will be applied only to business people but not to salaried people even if he/she is a salaried employee in the government/PSU/private organizations.
  4. Business people’s children will fall under the creamy layer only if they earn 450000 for a period of three consecutive years.

See since father is retired as PG assistant so no equivalence is there his income can be seen and mother got promoted after age of 40 so you will be eligible for Obc NCL status.

The VAO is right that your parents will be treated as government servants only even if they  are retired and drawing pension.

However the salary income of the government servants are not taken into consideration for computing the annual income of the family.

Therefore you are very much eligible for the benefits under OBC NCL category.

Moreover the VAO is not the final authority, actually the Tehsildar only shall issue the desired certificate and not the VAO.

 

If the Tehsildar refuses then you may approach District collector for intervention and direction to the Tehsildar to issue the certificate which is very well within the rule.
