Which year’s landholding (the year of applying for the EWS certificate or the previous fiscal year) is considered by the government when issuing an Economic Weaker Section (EWS) certificate?
When applying for an EWS certificate, the government considers your landholding and income from the previous financial year, not the year of application. The eligibility criteria include income below ₹8 lakh per year and agricultural landholdings below 5 acres. If your family’s income or landholding exceeds the limits in the previous year, you may not qualify. If needed, consult a legal professional for further assistance in the process.
