Ews

Dear client,

Yes, you may be eligible for an EWS certificate if your total family income, including the court-ordered maintenance received from your father, is below the prescribed Rs8 lakh annual limit and you satisfy the applicable asset/property conditions. However, the maintenance amount may be treated as income for EWS purposes, depending on the applicable rules. The important issue is whether your father's income and assets have to be included while determining your family's EWS eligibility, which depends on your age, marital status, dependency and the specific EWS rules applicable to the particular admission/recruitment. If you, your mother and your two sisters are living separately from your father and the only income is approximately Rs6 lakh per annum received as court-ordered maintenance, with no disqualifying land, property or other assets, you may have a strong basis for claiming EWS, subject to verification by the competent issuing authority.
