@Smital_D    Regarding parents under the Government employment, the status of the job (Group A/B/C/D) is more important than the salary. If your parents are earning more than 8 lakhs but their rank is below that of group B officers, you will still come under the Non-Creamy Layer.

If both are employed by the Government as Group B, before age 40, you are Creamy Layer.
