Hello,
EWS category means economical weaker section category. If your income or your parents income less than 8lakhs per annum so you are eligible for EWS category. If you are a government employee but your salary less than 8 lakhs per annum then also you are belongs in EWS category.
All the best.
Income wise you are obviously eligible(if you are the sole member of your family then only) but there are also some other factors involved in order to be eligible for EWS criteria:
- Students or job aspirants, whose family has residential property or flat of less than 1000 sq. ft., are also eligible for this reservation. If you live in a notified municipal area, the residential property should be less than 100 yards to avail the EWS reservation. Those who live in any place other than a notified municipal area can apply for EWS reservation if only their residential plot is less than 200 sq. yards or 1800 sq. ft.
- The EWS quota criteria clearly state that one is eligible for this reservation if their family possesses agricultural land less than or equal to five acres. This land can be in the name of the family head or anyone from the applicant’s main family.
You can get the EWS form by typing 'EWS application form <your state name> pdf' on Google search.
I hope my answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!
