Hi Arjun,
Economically Weaker Section (EWS) in India is a subcategory of people belonging to the Economy Based Un-Reserved Category having an annual family income less than INR 8 lakhs and who do not belong to any category such as SC/ST/OBC.
Since your family income(7.7 + 0.75 = 8.45) LPA is exceeding the threshold, unfortunately you are not eligible for the EWS quota.
Hope this helps.
