Sir, I have been issued an EWS certificate and I fullfill the given criteria. I have confusion regarding Municipality Property ID. In jamabandi the land measuring 250 yards is Gair majrua in nature but the Property ID shows it residential and unauthorised. Although my certificate is already issued, can this property ID cause any problems in future?
Also, please throw light on the word possession used in EWS criteria. Does it refer to legal possession. I think that it is used in a legal sense only. If the illegal or informal possession were to be counted as an asset then it would lead to dual applicability of law in the sense that on one hand there are no documents to support possession just physical control not any legal document and on other hand the same authority considers it an asset to the family or person.
1) Will this Property ID cause any problems?
2 ) Is illegal or informal possession (no legal documents) counted as an asset in EWS criteria?
Please provide a detailed answer I would be grateful ๐๐๐
Also I have been selected on General Merit and didn't seek any EWS reservation relaxation. So, should it be a big concern for me?
Please answer this, I am going paranoid over this situation.

Gairmajura land is government land, and taking possession of this type of land can lead to disputes, and the government can reclaim it. Yes. It is illegal to get an EWS certificate based on the land.

Sir, I am from Haryana, we also have our name as owner in mutation records. We bought this land from someone's acre or agricultural field portion.
If this is government land then, it should not be our asset and shouldn't be we eligible for ews certificate?

To my understanding, the legal status of the property is of no consequence as far as EWS certificate is concerned.

EWS eligibility criteria for Haryana insofar as the property is concerned is:
Property Limits: Your family must not own or possess any of the following assets:
Agricultural land: 5 acres or more.
Residential flat: 1,000 square feet or more.
Residential plot in notified municipalities: 100 square yards or more.
Residential plot in non-notified municipalities: 200 square yards or more.
Now you ascertain the facts and proceed as per your understanding.
