Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the eligibility criteria for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) category, particularly for government employees. It explains that EWS status is generally based on parental income and assets, with a family income threshold typically below Rs. 8 lakhs per annum. Crucially, it highlights that owning a residential plot of 100 sq. yards or more (or equivalent land) in notified municipalities can disqualify an applicant, even if their individual income is below the limit. The definition of 'family' for this purpose includes parents, siblings under 18, spouse, and children under 18, with property held by any family member considered.

EWS criteria, to my knowledge, is based on the status of the parents.

If your inlaws' and your husband's annual income does not exceed Rs.8/-lakhs, you may get the certificate.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 18 April 2023
Persons who are not covered under the scheme of reservation for SCs, STs and OBCs and whose family has gross annual income below Rs 8 (Rupees eight lakh only) are to be identified as EWSs for benefit of reservation. Income shall also include income from all sources i.e. salary, agriculture, business, profession, etc.
To be classified under EWS, your family should not own or possess a residential plot of area 100 sq.yards or more in notified municipalities. You may note that 100 sq. yards is equal to 900 sq ft OR 2 cents (approx).
The above criteria are given by the Central Government.

The states in India can set their own income cut-off to decide who constitutes EWS and even exceed the income criteria set by the Centre.
The term “Family” for this purpose will include the person who seeks the benefit of reservation, his/her parents and siblings below the age of 18 years as also his/her spouse and children below the age of 18 years.

The property held by a “Family” in different locations or different places/cities would be clubbed while applying the land. or property holding test to determine EWS status.
