Once non creamy layer is not totally dependent on the 8 lakh annual income. It's just a criteria. You are eligible
If anyone of, father or mother are direct recruited class 1 servants than their children won't be eligible for NCL. But if he/she is promoted to class 1 then the kids will be eligible If both of the parents are class 2 than their kids won't be eligible for OBC quota but if only one of them is than the kids would be off from creamy layer and they can avail benefits of quota If father was recruited direct to class 2 position and than promoted to the class 1 before age of 40 then it would be no longer NCL. However this scenario only applies to father not the mother.The government servants who doesn't fall under this category are all non-creamy layer.The annual income of the parents that includes salaries as well as income from other sources should not exceed Rs. 8 Lakhs.None of the parents of the recipient should be a Group A / Class I Officer under the Central / State Government.None of the parents of the recipient should belong to any service in any PSU, Bank, Insurance Company, Educational Institution or in private employment, comparable with Group A / Class I service under Central / State Government or holds any Constitutional post.The person will be treated as belonging to non-creamy layer if none or only one of the parents is a Group B / Class II Officer under Central / State Government.The person will be treated as the non-creamy layer, if none or only one of the parents belong to any service in any PSU, Bank, Insurance Company, Educational Institution or in private employment, comparable with Group B / Class II service under Central / State Government.A person will not come under the non-creamy layer if parents of whom only the father is a Group-B officer gets into Group-A at the age of 40 or earlier.For government employees, only their cadre in the office is the criterion for non-creamy layer status and not the income limit.
