query about income affidavit for EWS certificate

Sir/Mam,I had taken EWS certificate for 2024 UPSC Civil Service Examination cycle of which notification will be in feb 2024, based on income of financial year 2022-23 income tax returns which is the required one for 2024 upsc cycle but in income affidavit it was mistakenly typed as income of financial year 2023-24 instead of 2022-23,however in ews certificate it is mentioned correctly as income of financial year i.e 2022-23.EWS certificate contains correct financial year but in income affidavit for EWS application was wrongly typed as 2023-24 financial year. My query is..1- the clerical error regarding financial year in income affidavit will create any problem in future Sir,should I take the certificate again with new income affidavit? 2-The affidavit includes combined income of father and mother as per their respective ITR's(the itr's of financial year 2022-23 are attached to income affidavit) which is around ₹3.6lakhs.The affidavit was signed by only my father.My mother didn't sign it and she is a home maker.I am an unemployed aspirant but i got ₹100(one hundred) as dividend income for financial year 2022-23,it was not included in income affidavit. is the affidavit legally valid or correct because i didnt include ₹100 income in it and my mother didnt sign the affidavit, financial year was mistakenly typed wrong,will it create any problem in future for my job in case i get the job?Is it mandatory to make independent income affidavit for mother and father separately?can I income ₹100 income in my father income affidavit as i didnt file itr for ₹100, if I were to take certificate again mandatorily?however my overall family income for ews is around ₹3.6 lakhs which is under income limit criteria of ₹8 lakhs for ews.

Dear Client,
Once an EWS Certificate is issued by the competent authority based on the affidavit supported by the authentic documents, your typographical error is waived on the basis of supporting documents(ITR) that corroborate your statement in the affidavit. EWS certificate is made for a financial year. So validity is one year from 1st April to 31st March. Since your meager income from dividends including your parent's income does not exceed the threshold limit of income required for the issue of an EWS Certificate, it may not affect the status of the EWS Certificate any way.
