Hello
Yes, you are eligible for sc reservation.
This is because,
Reservation of sc/st is completely on the basis of caste and there's no income limit.
Income limit is there for only obc category.
-
Creamy layer OBC candidates are those whose parents annual income is more than 8 lakhs per annum and they are not eligible for reservation
-
obc ncl i. e Obc non creamy layer are those candidates whose parents annual income is less than 8 lakh per annum and they are eligible for reservation
So, being from SC category you are eligible for reservation even if your family income is above it lakhs per annum.
