Please clarify if son /daughter of Parents falling under Service category are entitled to get OBC reservation under following condition:-
If Father was Directly Recruited class I/Group A officer and died during service period and Mother is serving Class iii/Group C employee .Mother has now been directly recruited on Class I/Group A post under Widow reservation at age of 55 years.

Conditions applied- Both Parents neither had nor mother currently has any source of income other than salary and pension. Both parents have not served in any International organizations.
It has been mentioned in OBC annexure for creamy layer rules that children of parents died during service period or promoted to Class I/Group A post after 40 years of age will not be included in creamy layer, but I want specific rule regarding direct recruitment after 40 years of age and creamy layer status of children .

The word 'Creamy Layer' was introduced in 1971 to demarcate the wealthier part of the society and to exclude them from availing the reservations granted in various governmental jobs and educational institutions for the Other Backward Classes (OBC).

If the parents both of whom are directly recruited class I Officers/Group A Officers, the children shall be treated to be falling in creamy layer.

You may have to enquire about this rule further with the authorities granting the certificate about your eligibility..

It appears that you do not want to accept the fact or the rules or law in this regard hence you are coming out with such sarcastic remarks.

If you know law better than anyone you should not have shot this question here in the experts forum here.

If you had gone through my reply you could have found that the law says that if the parents both of whom are directly recruited class I Officers/Group A Officers, the children shall be treated to be falling in creamy layer. Your father was recruited directly to the class I Officer post, hence under the law, you may not be eligible. Fight against the government for framing this law.
