The OBC creamy layer income cap is 8 lakh a year. On 13 September 2017 the Department of Personnel raised it from 6 lakh to 8 lakh. Children of families above that income are kept out of this quota slice. Group A officers and some other posts also fall in the creamy layer. Income alone is not the whole test.
Has it risen
In March 2026 Minister of State B L Verma wrote that there was no proposal for a further revision. BJP MP Bhim Singh asked in Zero Hour for 15 lakh. The National Commission for Backward Classes had suggested 15 lakh in 2015. That is a demand. The order has not changed.
The certificate
The state issues the non-creamy-layer certificate. A central job also needs the central list. This cap is not the main banner of the street agitation. Search mixes the column and the cap.
