OBC Non Creamy Layer

I want to apply for OBC non creamy layer and want to know about my eligibility for the same. All other criteria are satisfied but I have doubt regarding the following two:

1) Residential Building

We have a 3 storeyed residential building which is being used solely for living purpose. Hence no income is obtained from it.

2) Commercial Building under Construction

We are constructing commercial building. It is under construction and hence no income is obtained from it.

My Question is Whether merely having a "building" in an Urban area exculdes from Non Creamy Layer Benefits OR the "income" from that urban building will be considered? What does National Commission for Backward Classes Report, (V) Property Owners, Part (C) mean?

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies eligibility for the OBC Non Creamy Layer, specifically addressing concerns about owning property in urban areas. The key point is whether merely possessing a residential or under-construction commercial building disqualifies an applicant, or if it's the income generated from such properties that matters. The advice given is to file an application with the Tehsildar, stating all facts, as the competent authority will consider income, property status, and IT assessments to determine eligibility.

The rules on the creamy layers differ from state to state. Just file an application stating facts as per columns in application to the Tehsildar or competent authority, and depending on eligibility either NCL certificate will be issued or rejected stating such reasons. Finally, in the case of IT Assessees, the income declared for showing such constructions also plays a role.
