Hello,

You cannot apply for the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category if you belong to the ST (Scheduled Tribe) category, as the EWS is a separate category for economically disadvantaged individuals who are not part of the SC, ST, or OBC categories.

Here are key points:

1. ST is a separate category, and EWS is for general category economically weaker individuals.
2. You need to provide documents that confirm eligibility for EWS.
3. EWS benefits cannot be claimed if you belong to SC, ST, or OBC.
4. Ensure you have proper documentation for your ST status.

Hope it helps !

Hello Greetings

If you don't have an ST caste certificate, you can apply for the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category, but there are certain conditions:

Eligibility Criteria

1. Your family's annual income should be less than Rs8 lakhs.

2. Your family should have less than 5 acres of agricultural land.

3. Your family should have a residential flat of less than 1000 sq ft.

4. Your family should have a residential plot of less than 109 yards.

Important Points

1. You'll need to submit documents proving your income and assets to apply for an EWS certificate.

2. You'll need to contact your district's SDM or Tehsildar to apply for an EWS certificate.

3. If you don't have an ST caste certificate, you'll also need to submit a "Non-Creamy Layer" certificate when applying for the EWS category.

Conclusion

If you want to apply under the EWS category, ensure you meet the eligibility criteria and have the necessary documents. Contact your district's SDM or Tehsildar to apply for an EWS certificate.

Have a great day

Hi,

Belonging to the Schedule Tribe category, you are not eligible to apply for EWS ( Economically weaker section).

People from the general category who do not belong to the SC/ST/OBC categories are eligible for EWS, which is a category of people in India with a family income of less than 8 lakh.

An ST student cannot apply for an EWS certificate because they are already under reservation category. You can apply for your category ST certificate.

Hope this information will help you
