Mere paas already State EWS certificate hai — kya main usi ko Central govt. jobs/exams mein use kar sakta hoon? Agar kisi ko confirm info hai to please jaldi reply karein, mujhe turant clarity chahiye.

AnkitTiwari

Ravindra Nahi, Aap Central govt. Jobs/exams mein use nhi kar sakte hai, Central Central govt. Jobs/exams ke EWS certificate me ‘Government of India’ likha hoga jabki state govt. Jobs/exams ke liye EWS me State government ke naam se certificate issue hota hai.

Agar mere pass ek state ka EWS certificate aur main kis karn se dusre state main migrate karta tha kya us state ka EWS certificate apply kar sakta hoon ya nahi?

DEVIL

@abhi2807 Hmmm bhai, aap apply kr skte ho jis state m aap migrate kr rahe ho……to uske rule es prakar hein…..

EWS (Economically Weaker Section) Certificate ke Rules:

State EWS Certificate (State Quota ke liye)

Agar aap State Government ki jobs ya reservation (State quota) ke liye apply kar rahe hain, toh aapko usi state ka EWS certificate banana hoga jahan aap apply karna chahte hain.

Iske liye generally domicile certificate/residence proof us state ka hona zaroori hota hai.

Central EWS Certificate (All India Quota ke liye)

Agar aap Central Government jobs (UPSC, SSC, Banking, Railways, etc.) ke liye apply karte ho, toh aap apne permanent residence state ka EWS certificate use kar sakte ho.

Migration se farq nahi padta, kyunki central jobs ke liye ek hi certificate valid hota hai (jo aapke native state se issue hota hai).

Kya central EWS certificate online apply ho sakta hai ya phir tehsil/SDM office jaana hi padega?

harshs

Monukumar999 Central EWS Certificate ke liye process state-wise alag hoti hai। Kahi jagah manual application ke liye Tehsil ya SDM office jaana padta hai, jabki kai states ne online application portals (jaise Haryana, Delhi, Maharashtra) launch kiye hain।
Lekin, final document verification aur certificate issue ke liye aapko physical visit Tehsil/SDM office karna lagbhag har case me zaroori hota hai।

Ahmed जी हाँ, EWS (Economically Weaker Section) प्रमाणपत्र के सहारे कुछ सरकारी योजनाओं के तहत लोन मिल सकता है। यह आपकी कम आय को दर्शाता है, जिससे प्रधानमंत्री मुद्रा योजना, Stand-Up India, Start-up India या राज्य सरकार की स्वरोजगार योजनाओं में प्राथमिकता या सब्सिडी का लाभ मिल सकता है। हालाँकि, लोन की मंज़ूरी आपके दस्तावेज़, उद्देश्य और चुकाने की क्षमता पर भी निर्भर करती है।

कृपया बताइए कि आप लोन किस उद्देश्य से लेना चाहते हैं – Education Loan के लिए या Business के लिए?
