Your eligibility for OBC Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) cannot be determined solely by your father's income exceeding ₹8 lakh. In the case of government employees, the nature of service, post held, and applicable creamy layer rules are also considered. You should apply for an OBC-NCL certificate and obtain a decision from the competent authority, which will determine your eligibility under the applicable rules.
