Yes, it should be okay for GDS recruitment.

While it's ideal for the EWS certificate to be valid throughout the recruitment process, a slight overlap between the application date and the renewal date might not be a major issue.

You can do the following:

1. Contact the Recruitment Authority: Reach out to the relevant GDS recruitment authority (likely the Department of Posts) and inquire about their specific requirements regarding EWS certificates. They can provide you with clear instructions on whether you need to submit a renewed certificate or if the existing one is sufficient.
2. Upload the Renewed Certificate: If required, upload the renewed EWS certificate to the online portal or submit it as part of the application process. Make sure to include any necessary documentation or supporting evidence.
