Benefits For Economically Weaker Section

UNLOCKING OPPORTUNITIES: THE BENEFITS OF REGISTERING FOR EWS

 

The Economically Weaker Section, abbreviated as EWS, constitutes a distinct subgroup within the population of India. Individuals falling under this category are grouped within the Economically Based Un-Reserved Category. To qualify as EWS, individuals must maintain an annual family income below ₹8 lakhs and not be affiliated with any other categorizations like SC/ST/OBC across the nation.

The administration issues an official certificate to those falling within the EWS classification. This certificate serves as a key document that enables EWS citizens to access a range of privileges and advantages.

Indian citizens who belong to the EWS category are entitled to a 10% reservation in both higher education and governmental employment opportunities. The Government of India enacted the EWS Bill in 2019, introducing the concept of EWS certificates. These certificates act as proof of income or assets and are supplied by the government to eligible EWS citizens. The possession of such certificates is mandatory during the admission process for educational institutions and when applying for positions within the government sector.
