Hello,

The terms of Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Economically Backward Class (EBC) are different and not be equally treated in India.

Like EWS state government is authorised to extend the income limit further for candidates seeking reservation under EWS category in the state-owned colleges and state government's jobs.

And ebc this service is used to get the ebc  Certificate which can be used for Scholarship in Education and reservation in Employment under Govt. it can be a class certificate, is issued to those who fall below the poverty line.

So if they are wants you to EWS certificate number you can't mention there EBC certificate number. Because both are different. Now may be there EBC certificate options otherwise you can apply EWS category certificate if it's possible for you.

All the best.
