Hello Priya,

Eligibility for the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category in India is determined based on certain income and asset criteria. The key factors are:

1. Income : The family income should be less than Rs. 8 lakh per year.
   
   
2. Assets :
   
   
   • The family should not own agricultural land of more than 5 acres.
     
     
   • The residential property should not exceed 1000 square feet in a municipal area or 2000 square feet in a non-municipal area .
     
     
   • The family should not own a car or two-wheelers .

In your case:

• You have a 132 square feet residential property in your mother’s name , which exceeds the threshold for EWS in a municipal area (1000 square feet limit).
  
  
• Since the property is in your mother’s name , it does not directly impact your eligibility for EWS, but the asset limit might still matter.
  
  
• If your family income is under Rs. 8 lakh and there are no other major assets (like agricultural land or cars), you could still qualify, but the property size might affect your eligibility.

It’s best to consult with the local authorities or government website to confirm your EWS status, as rules can vary based on specific circumstances.

To determine eligibility for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) reservation in India, several criteria are considered, including family income and asset ownership. The term "family" encompasses the person seeking the reservation benefit, their parents, siblings below the age of 18 years, spouse, and children below the age of 18 years.

Regarding asset ownership, the guidelines specify that a family should not own or possess:

Residential flats of 1,000 square feet or more.

Residential plots of 100 square yards (900 square feet) or more in notified municipalities.

Residential plots of 200 square yards (1,800 square feet) or more in areas other than notified municipalities.

In your case, the residential property measures 132 square feet and is registered in your mother's name, with the funds for its purchase gifted by your maternal side. Since the property's area is well below the specified limits, this alone would not disqualify you from EWS eligibility.

However, it's essential to consider the gross annual income of your family, which should be below INR 8 lakh. This income includes earnings from all sources such as salary, agriculture, business, and profession.

Additionally, the family should not own or possess agricultural land of 5 acres or more.

If your family's income and assets fall within these specified limits, you would be eligible for the EWS reservation. It's advisable to consult with the designated local authorities or refer to official government notifications to ensure compliance with all criteria and to obtain the necessary certification.
