Is annexure 'A' compulsory to provide with ews certificate ,if it is then whose signature is required on it
Dear Yash
Annexure-A is just for only reference purpose so that candidate can know what are the eligibilty criteria should a candidate possess to avail the benefit of EWS reservation.
Though, Annexure-A contain the prescribed format(page no. 7 "Annexure-I") of EWS certificate which is made compulsary to have it only in given format and only then it will be applicable and accepted as a proof for claiming as EWS category.
For signature purpose, refer to point 5 at page no.2 of Annexure-A.
Hope this helps you.
And no, you cannot change it back as general but if you're unable to provide proof for reservation, then the authority itself will consider you as general. So, no worries.
