Hello,
For JEE Main EWS certificate, your parent's income certificate is required, not yours.
The EWS category is based on the family’s annual income, which must be below 8 lakhs from all sources. The certificate should be issued by a competent government authority and must be valid for the current financial year.
Hope you understand.
Hello, For your EWS certificate, it is your family's income that is required, which primarily means your parents' income.
The EWS certificate will be issued in your name (the candidate), but it certifies that your total gross family income is below the 8 lakh threshold. For this purpose, "family" is defined as you, your parents, and any siblings under the age of 18.
As a student and JEE candidate, you are not expected to have your own personal income. Therefore, to get the certificate, you will need to provide your parents' income proofs (like ITRs, salary slips, or an official income certificate from a Tehsildar) to the issuing authority.
