3. Income Limit – Your family income must be below Rs. 8 lakh per year (may vary by state).
4. Other Properties – You should not own a residential plot exceeding 100 sq. yards in a notified municipality or 200 sq. yards in a non-notified area .

Yes, you can apply for the EWS certificate, but it depends on certain conditions.

Who is Eligible for EWS

To qualify, your family must meet all of these criteria:

1. Annual income should be less than eight lakh per year from all sources

2. Agricultural land should be less than five acres

3. Residential plot should be less than one hundred square yards in urban areas and two hundred square yards in rural areas

Your Situation

Since you do not own land or property, that part of the criteria is already met. If your family income is below eight lakh, you should be eligible for an EWS certificate

To apply for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) category, you'll need to meet specific eligibility criteria.

Eligibility Criteria

- Income: Your family's gross annual income should not exceed 8 lakhs.

- Assets: You should not own or possess any of the following assets:

- 5 acres of agricultural land or more.

- A residential flat of 1,000 sq. ft. or more.

- A residential plot of 100 sq. yards or more in notified municipalities.

- A residential plot of 200 sq. yards or more in areas other than notified municipalities.

Regarding your situation:

- Living on Government land: Since you're living on Government land without ownership, this might not be considered as owning or possessing an asset.

However, to confirm your eligibility, consider the following:

1. Check your income: Ensure your family's gross annual income is within the specified limit (8 lakhs).

2. Gather required documents: Collect documents to support your income and asset claims.

3. Consult authorities: Reach out to local authorities or a competent officer to verify your eligibility for the EWS category.

Remember, eligibility criteria may vary depending on the specific scheme or program. Always consult the relevant authorities or official documentation for the most accurate information.
