Dear Teja, EWS category is for those candidates from General Category whose family annual income from all.sources is less than 8 lakhs per annum. This is for those candidates who do not fall under SC/ST/OBC. You can only be eligible for this reservation if you belong to General Category and your family's annual income is less than 8 lakhs per annum. Or else, you cant claim this reservation.
