Hello sir!
As per the notification OBC-NCL certificate has to be issue based on the annual income of past three financial years. I have my OBC-NCL certificate made based on the income certificate of my parents. So, as a basis of proof i have income certificate. The issue is- as it is mentioned that OBC NCL should be based on annual income of past three financial years, so " as a basis of proof do we need to show the income certificate of past three financial years?" There is another case also where it is mentioned that in case parents file ITR then as a basis of proof to this OBC-NCL ,the ITR of past three financial year would suffice,instead of income certificate. My parents dont file ITR so i cant use this ITR option. I had doubt that since UPSC is asking to submit ITR for past three financial years, then in the same way in case of income certificate we need to have this income certificate of past three financial year?
But income certificate is valid for just six months. So in one financial year, there has to be two income certificate then.
@NareshMentor sir, i have few doubts
1. is salary of government aided school teachers excluded for calculation of OBC-NCL certificate?
2. does salary arrears of past years will be counted as part of income for the years in which it is received?
regards

If my father filed ITR of three consecutive financial year of ₹790000 (approx) respectively.
And my mother has a fixed deposit (FD) of ₹ 5 lakh, if she get 50000 interest in 2 years.
Whether I fall under OBC NCL or CL?
What is the Criteria for the OBC NCL (businessman)?
1. Total sum of income (father+mother) 3 consecutive financial year (2022, 23, 24) dividend by 3 to get an average income.
Or,
2. Any of the financial year, my parents income is less than 8 lakhs then I come under OBC NCL (means, in 2021-22 income was 9 lakhs, in 2023 income was 7 lakhs & in 2024 income 8.5 lakh)
Please clarify regarding this.
