EWS Category

This discussion clarifies the eligibility criteria for the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) certificate, particularly concerning ancestral or jointly owned property. It explains that simply being a claimant to land in your father's name, even if intended to be divided, may not suffice for EWS eligibility. The consensus suggests that for EWS consideration, the property typically needs to be legally partitioned and registered in individual names. If dependents and the father are alive and the land is in the father's name, eligibility is unlikely unless a formal division and registration occur, even for inherited property.
