The creamy layer (income) criteria were defined as gross annual income of parents from all sources more than 100,000 rupees (_ or INR defined by Sattanathan committee in 1971) In 1993 when “creamy layer” ceiling was introduced, it was _ 1 lakh.

In order to qualify as an OBC non-creamy layer candidate, the applicantÕs parentsÕ annual income should be less than Rs. 8 lakhs.

Salary and agricultural income are not to be considered as income for calculating annual income for creamy layer status.

As far as the Government employees are considered, the entry cadre/post is to be taken into consideration.

While applying the ÒIncome/Wealth TestÓ to determine creamy layer status of any candidate, income from the salaries and income from the agricultural land shall not be taken into account.

It means that if income from other sources other than the salary and agriculture exceeds the income limit, then only the candidates shall be treated as Creamy Layer.
