    Yes, you can apply. If you are Non non-creamy layer of OBC and your Caste is in the Central list of OBC, then you are entitled to it & you can apply for the Central Certificate. There is no need for a state Caste certificate.  If you fall under the Creamy Layer of OBC, you will not get the benefit of OBC reservation either in the State or in the Central.

    OBC Category Seat Application,

    Eligibility

    - Check if your caste is on the Central Government's OBC list.

    - Ensure you meet the Non-Creamy Layer criteria (parents' income below 8 Lacs per annum and no high-ranking government positions).

    Yeah you must apply for it, before appearing for counselling you may apply OBC certificate under central government eventhough you had state government caste certificate.
