My father was a Class-I officer in a Government Agricultural University in Gujarat. He was promoted to Class-I after the age of 40. There is some confusion about whether he falls under Category I-A (Group-A/Class-I All India Central or State Services) for the purpose of obtaining an OBC-NCL certificate.Is he considered a government employee under this category? Kindly provide a reference to any relevant government provision or order, if possible.
Yes, your father is considered a government employee. But for OBC-NCL eligibility, if he became Class-I after age 40 and did not get promoted before retirement, you likely do qualify. Refer to Government of India’s OBC guidelines under DoPT. You may need to show proof of his service record to your local authority. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
