Those sections belonging to EWS not otherwise covered under usual schemes of reservations including falling under belonging to Actual Line of Control category have been identified to get 10 per cent reservation. Like this, in its first exercise of direct recruitment , the EWS would get entitled reservation but with a family income of Rs.8 lakh per annum from all sources including from agriculture, business, salary etc.

Possessing five acres of land or above , similarly residential plot of 100 and 200 square yards in municipal and other areas respectively shall not be treated as falling under the EWS category for recruitment in Government services. That there was full transparency in the exercise , an applicant had mandatorily to produce an income and assets certificate verified from a competent authority.
