How can I get EWS Certificate?

Dear Sir/Madam, I have a house in Pune (1800 sq. ft.). My father-in-law gave me some money to construct the house. Currently, my wife is working in a school, but I am jobless. Her annual income is around ₹6 lakh. If I sell 1000 sq. ft. of the house to my relative, I will be left with only 800 sq. ft. In this situation, can my daughter get an EWS certificate? Please suggest.

Dear client, The EWS certificate is based on the income of your family and the assets that everyone in the household has. They will look at your wifes income when they decide. If you sell a part of your house you still have to think about the income of your family and how much your property is worth because that is what the government rules say. You should really check the EWS guidelines before you try to apply because even small changes in how big your property is may not mean you are eligible for the EWS certificate. The EWS certificate rules can be different. It is a good idea to check the local EWS guidelines, for the EWS certificate.

EWS certificate is based on family income and assets of all members in the household. Your wife’s income will be considered. Even if you sell part of the house, eligibility depends on total family income and property value as per government rules. You should check local EWS guidelines before applying, as small changes in property size may not guarantee eligibility. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
