EWS certificate issuence

Dear Client,
To be eligible for the EWS certificate, you will have to satisfy all the following conditions: 1) You should be a ‘general’ candidate (not covered under reservation for SC, ST, or OBC). 2) Your family’s gross annual income should be below Rs.8 lakhs. This includes income from all sources, such as agriculture, salary, business, etc., for the financial year before you apply for the exam. 3) Your family should not own agricultural land of size 5 acres or more. 4) Your family should not own a residential flat of an area of 1000 square feet or more. 5) Your family should not own a residential plot (in notified municipalities) of an area of 100 square yards or more. 6) Your family should not own a residential plot (other than in notified municipalities) of an area of 200 square yards or more. The land or property owned by the family in different locations should be clubbed while checking the eligibility conditions for EWS category reservations. The definition of Family in EWS reservation means the person who seeks the benefit of reservation, his/her parents and siblings below the age of 18 years, as also his/her spouse and children below the age of 18 years. So, given the conditions of eligibility and the definition of family, an EWS certificate can be issued to an applicant who built a house on state land if the applicant meets the EWS criteria, as the ownership of the state land is not a directly disqualify an applicant, instead, eligibility depends on the size of the residential plot and if you qualify for all these eligibility criteria, including the income criteria, you can apply for the EWS Certificate. You may visit the office of the concerned DM/SDM/Tehashildar or the State Level Caste Scrutiny Committee for more information and clarification on the subject.
