Income of both of the spouses shall be calculated. Whenever a man applies for EWS certificate, if he is married then his total family income (his income + his wife's income) is taken into consideration and if he is not married, then his parent's total income is taken into consideration. Similar is the case for a woman.
If you do not fall under the OBC Non creamy layer category also then how can you claim eligibility.
It is not a right that you have to get obc ncl if not eligible for EWS quota privilege.

EWS

Income of both will count.

OBC

cast of father will count. Nobody enters in a cast by marriage. It is only by birth.

So you lose both.
