My mother is working as a B.T. Assistant teacher (Group B post) in Government school. My father is working as a B.T. Assistant in Government aided school.whether my father working in Government aided school will be considered as directly recruited Group B officer(Government employee/servant).
As per OBC guidelines if both the parents are directly recruited Group B officers then OBC reservation is not applicable for them.
Whether I am eligible for OBC reservation.please clarify me.

Your father is working in a government aided school which is not considered as Group B employment.
Therefore you are eligible for OBC NCL category reservation provided the annual income of the family (other than your mother's salary income) is not exceeding Rs. 8 lakhs per annum for the last three financial years.

Neither salary nor income from other sources should cross Rs.8 lakhs in three consecutive years.
If their income has been below 8 lakhs in the last 3 years, you are qualified for OBC Non-creamy layer status, provided their income from other sources is less than 8 lakhs.

Is it true that your parents (both income added) are not earning even 8 lakh per year.

Working / earning from government or private sector do not affect total of income earned by your parents, which has to be less than 8 lakh per annum to avail OBC benefit

To my knowledge and understanding, in situations where the NCL status is decided on the basis of the employment status of the parents, total income is not a deciding criterion. In accordance with the provisions of OM dated 8th September 1993, Sons and daughters of parents both of whom are Class II officers, subject to exceptions, are excluded from OBC reservation.
Even on the technicality of the father (being employed in an aided institution) not being a Class II officer, you are eligible only if the total income of both the parents is below. This is quite unlikely.
