Hi

You are under obc and not ews.

Reason :-

You belong to bc-E which comes under obc,actually it is a sub- category of obc.

For example,

in bihar , obc is further divided into BC - I and BC - II.

WHY NOT EWS?

You are under obc reservation and thus not eligible for ews.

This is because,

to be eligible for ews,

-) you shouldn't be covered under the scheme of reservation for OBCs ,SCs and STs

-)your gross family annual income from all sources i.e. salary, agriculture, business, profession, etc. must be less than 8 lakh rupees

-) irrespective of the annual family income one won't be eligible for ews reservation if his /her family owns

a) agricultural land of 5 acres and above

b) Residential area of 1000 sq ft. and above

c) Residential plot of 100 sq. yards and above in notified municipalities

d) Residential, plot of 200 sq. yards or  above 200 sq. yards in  the areas which are those other than the notified municipalities.
