Hy,

It’s important for official documents like an EWS (Economically Weaker Section) certificate to be accurate and clear. If your name was incorrectly mentioned and then corrected by erasing the previous name, it could raise questions about the validity of the document.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Contact the Issuing Authority :

   • Reach out to the office that issued the certificate (e.g., the revenue circle office). Explain the situation and ask if a new certificate can be issued.

2. Request a Corrected Certificate :

   • If possible, request a corrected EWS certificate that clearly states your name without any corrections or alterations.

3. Keep All Documentation :

   • If you have any documents that show the correct name, keep them as proof in case you need to explain the situation.

4. Clarify During Applications :

   • If you need to use the certificate for applications (like college admissions or job applications), be prepared to explain the discrepancy if questioned.

Conclusion

It’s best to have a clear and properly issued certificate to avoid potential issues later. Correcting it now can save you complications in the future.
