EWS Certificate Application Form (PDF)
Where to find the ews certificate application form and how to fill it without the mistakes that get applications rejected.
About the form
The EWS application form — often titled 'Income and Asset Certificate for EWS' — collects family income details from all sources plus a declaration of family assets (land, flat, plots). It is the form on which the 10% reservation claim rests, so accuracy matters.
How to fill it correctly
- Download the EWS form from your state's e-District portal (search for 'EWS' or 'income and asset certificate').
- Enter gross annual family income from every source; it must be below ₹8 lakh.
- Declare family assets honestly — agricultural land, residential flat and plots are all counted against the limits.
- Attach the income certificate, Aadhaar, address proof and affidavit as required.
- Submit online or at the Tehsil / revenue office and note the acknowledgement number.

🔍 How we verify information
We check every process step, fee and timeline against official sources before publishing: state e-District portals, the Bihar RTPS portal (serviceonline.bihar.gov.in), india.gov.in, and DoPT / Ministry of Social Justice notifications. Where we cannot confirm a detail from an official source, we mark it [VERIFY] rather than guess. Rules change — always confirm on the official portal before applying.
