Hello Aspirant!

The benefit of reservation under EWS can be availed upon production of an "Income and Asset Certificate" issued by a Competent Authority (an officer not below the Tehsildar in the States/UTs).

Whether you are considered as Economically Weak or not, is based on the income and assets of your family. To come under EWS, you will need to satisfy all the criteria listed below.

• You are not availing the reservation for SCs, STs, and OBCs.
• Your family* has a gross annual income below Rs 8 lakh.
• Not having 5 acres of agricultural land and above.
• Not having a residential flat of 1000 sq ft. and above.
• Not having a residential plot of 100 sq. yards and above in notified municipalities.

Not having a residential, plot              of 200 sq. yards and above in              areas other than the notified                 municipalities.

Hope this helps you :)
