Can I get EWS certificate if my uncle adopts me?

I am a Muslim by religion, and I want to know whether, if my uncle, who has no children, adopts me as his son, I would be eligible for an EWS certificate as per the current norms. Can I get an EWS certificate under these circumstances?

Sir, adoption by your uncle does not make you eligible for an EWS (Economically Weaker Section) certificate. EWS eligibility is based on the income and assets of your biological parents, not adoptive parents. However, consult with a legal professional to verify any exceptions or new regulations.
