Hi Avanish,

Yes, there can be an issue regarding the OBC (NCL) eligibility. As per the guidelines, to qualify for the OBC-NCL category, the family's annual income should be below RS 8 lakh per year. If your average income for the past three years exceeds RS 8 lakh, your family may fall into the "upper layer or creamy layer" category, which would not allow your son from applying under the OBC-NCL category.

However, if your salary increase is recent and the average of the past three years still remains under Rs. 8 lakh, then he might still be eligible for the OBC-NCL benefits. It is crucial to verify the exact average income and consult the latest government notifications or a legal expert for confirmation on this matter.

THANK YOU!
