Hello Tanvi,

If your family's annual income is above Rs. 8 lakhs, you should indicate that you belong to the general (non-EWS) category in the JEE application. While your Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) OBC certificate may grant reservation benefits in certain contexts, for JEE purposes, the income ceiling for OBC-NCL eligibility is below Rs. 8 lakhs.

Even if you have an NCL certificate, it applies only if the annual income remains within the prescribed limit (below Rs. 8 lakhs) to benefit from the OBC-NCL reservation in JEE.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
