Roy or Rai or Ray is gifted title that is same as everywhere else in India. But, generally speaking, Roy lastnames are used by higher castes like Brahmins or Kayasthas in Bengal, they are being mostly from ruling communities in Bengal. But, you may also find Roy is used by people from lower caste like Namah-Sudra that belongs to so-called Scheduled Caste. In Bangladesh, you may even find Muslims bearing Roy lastnames. I have seen even converted Christian (or Anglo-Indian) using the same title. In general, you can expect a very higher percentage of people having Roy lastname belongs to Brahmin or Kayastha community, then probably few from SC, lastly Muslim or Christians using this title will be very rare occurance.

Can 'ROY' be treated as a OBC caste in West Bengal?
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.
