My father is in class fourth government employee having monthly salary of 4.5 thousand. That is yearly less than 8 lakhs. And we don't own any our own house. We live in a house of my grandfather. And my father only owns 10 marlas of land. That is also agricultural land. And my grandfather owns 40 kanals of land, but that land is not divided. moreover my father has other 4 siblings Am I eligible for EWS?
This discussion clarifies eligibility for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) application, particularly for children of government employees. The key criteria focus on the applicant's family income being below ₹8 lakhs annually and not owning a house. While inherited or undivided land owned by a grandfather is generally not considered a direct asset for the applicant's father, specific government guidelines for public servants' wards should be consulted.

Your father income is below 8 lakhs. And your family, you your parents and your siblings. So you are eligible for EWS if you are General category. Your grandfather's property is generally not factored into your family asset calculation unless it has already legally devolved or been transferred to your father.

In case of wards of public servants, eligibility as to EWS is determined on the basis of the level of their employment.
