I require clarification regarding my eligibility for the OBC NCL status under the "Viswakarma" caste (SL No. 161). My father currently serves as a Group A officer in government service, but he began his career as a Group C officer and transitioned to Group A after the age of 40. My mother is self-employed with a source of income. I would appreciate guidance on the following questions: 1) To claim my OBC NCL status, do I need to consider the income criteria for both parents, or is my father's government service status exempt from this income criterion? 2) If I need to account for the household income (both mother and father), should I consider their gross income or the net income after deductions (interest payments, losses, etc.) for the income criterion? I would be grateful for your assistance ASAP as the UPSC exam application deadline is approaching in 5 days. Thank you.
Sir, to claim OBC NCL status, both your parent’s income is usually considered. However, since your father is a government officer so his income might be exempt from the income limit. For income criteria, gross income is typically considered, not the net income. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action.
