Hello everyone,
This issue has been bugging me for quite sometime and wanted to get this clarified once and for all. Please take some time out and help me with this.
Both of my parents are state government employees in Andhra pradesh. My father is a teacher and my mother works in Planning department. Both of my parents doesn't fall under class I/II (A/B) employees. However their combined salary exceeds the income limit mentioned for the OBC non creamy layer criteria. My caste falls under OBC.
We don't have any other source of income apart from salaries.
Do I fall under OBC NCL?

In case parents are in govt job, only grade is considered and not salary.
And since, both of your parents are not even Grade B employees, you are an OBC NCL without a doubt.
Parents of the candidate should not be class1 before 40years of age. That's it. Only that income other than SALARY and AGRICULTURAL income should not be more than the limit. In other words one will fall under obc even if gross salary and Agri income put together or independently is more than the limit. Income from sources other than these two should not be more than the limit.
If parents are class 1 before 40, children will not have obc benefits even if income is less than the limit. This condition mostly applies to children of retired class1 officials.
What I meant to say is that if your grandfather/grandmother belongs/belonged to class A/B category then your parents belonged to creamy layer based on that and then you can’t claim non-creamy status even your parents are group C/D category
Can you please quote the section in the obc act where this clause is mentioned?
