Mostly no as most of the Roy belongs to Brahmins or Kshatriya Brahmins in India as well as Bengal. Few of Roy may get in other caste mainly in Bengal, but they all have strong & higher root in society. A few Roy also may falls on Sch. Caste but they are belongs to pure Brahmins as their customs/ rituals are falls under Brahmin or Brahman system. Moral is that any Roy/ Ray belongs to minimum level of Zamindar group/ administrator.
