Hi Ayaan,

Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) is basically a subcategory of people who belong to general category having annual family income less than INR 8 lakh and who absolutely do not belong to any of the reserved categories SC/ST/OBC. It is a kind of reservation scheme that came into effect in year 2019.

The documents required for getting EWS certificate are following:

• Family annual Income Certificate
• Aadhaar Card
• Id Proof
• Affidavit/Self Declaration
• Land/property documents
• Residential proof/Domicile Certificate
• Passport-sized photograph
• Other relevant documents

EWS certificate is not only the income of your father rather it is the income of your entire family. When you will apply for it and will get the certificate then it will be issued in your name. It will be mentioned on that you.......son of..........from.....has annual family income from all sources Rs........

Hope you understand.
