Hello Dear,

Your caste hierarchy is irrespective in this matter and so what is of primary concern is that if you have OBC certificate issued from your state government

So now if your family income is above rupees 8 lakhs annually then you should be falling under the General category and if your family annual income is less than that then you should belong to the EWS category.

Creamy layer can apply as a General candidate during filling the application form of the concerned examination and if you belong to the Non- Creamy layer(NCL), then you can apply as EWS candidate.

Good Luck
