This includes income from all sources such as agriculture, salary, business, etc., for the financial year before you apply for the exam. 3) his/her family should not own agricultural land of size 5 acres or more. 4) his/her family should not own a residential flat of an area of 1000 square feet or more. 5) his/her family should not own a residential plot (in notified municipalities) of an area of 100 square yards or more. 6) his/her 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 for EWS reservation means the person who seeks the benefit of reservation, his/her parents and siblings below the age of 18 years, and also his/her spouse and children below the age of 18 years. So, given the conditions of eligibility, if an applicant meets these conditions of eligibility, he/she can apply for an EWS Certificate from the concerned authority.
