Which fiscal year’s landholding is considered for EWS certificate?
Which year’s landholding (the year of applying for the EWS certificate or the previous fiscal year) is considered by the government when issuing an Economic Weaker Section (EWS) certificate?
For issuing an EWS certificate, the government considers the landholding details of the previous financial year, not the year of application. The applicant’s family must meet the prescribed land limits as per EWS criteria. Authorities verify records such as income, land ownership, and other assets based on the previous year’s data. It is advisable to check with the local revenue office for specific state-wise guidelines.
While considering the landholding for EWS, the previous year's landholding is taken into consideration, and the landholding does not exceed 5 acres in the preceding year of the date of application.
When applying for an EWS certificate, the government considers your landholding and income from the previous financial year, not the year of application. The eligibility criteria include income below ₹8 lakh per year and agricultural landholdings below 5 acres. If your family’s income or landholding exceeds the limits in the previous year, you may not qualify. If needed, consult a legal professional for further assistance in the process.
