OBC Non Creamy Layer related queries while filling UPSC Prelims 2025 DAF

My parents both worked in the Central Govt. My father retired as Group-C in Railways, and mom is still working as Group-B in Defence sector. I have few questions, 
1. When the salary of Govt. employees is not counted in OBC, so should I still fill in the actual salary wherever it is asking? 
2. It's been more than 4 years since my father has retired and he hasn't filed his IT returns since his retirement because he doesn't fall in the taxable bracket. Will this be a problem while filling the OBC Annexure?
3. Also, in the OBC Annexure, the place where we have to fill the salary, what should I fill for my father who is now living off a pension? 
Attaching the picture for reference.

@anjaliarya2024752 Just asking, if you come under creamy layer then you automatically come under Open category, if that's the case why go through this hassle? Also, in your subsequent attempts you can still opt for OBC, but only if you fall under the non creamy layer. Also, if you have actually selected yes for creamy layer then it will definitely show it as that, if you haven't submitted yet, ensure you double check it.
