Hello Aspirant,

See EWS certificate is only valid for one financial year so if it has been issued for financial year 2020-21 then it won't work for 2021-22 and you have to renew it or should apply for new one, but note that if you have applied for JEE-Main 2021 in February 2021 or March 2021 then these months are of financial year 2020-21 according to which your current EWS certificate will be considered as valid but the admission will be conducted on the month of June-July which will be the months of financial year 2021-22 so you should produce your very latest EWS certificate for admission.
