To be eligible for the EWS certificate, you will have to satisfy all the conditions mentioned below:

-You should be a ‘general’ candidate (not covered under reservation for SC, ST or OBC).
-Your family’s gross annual income should be below Rs. 8 lakhs. This includes income from all sources such as agriculture, salary, business, etc. for the financial year before you apply for the exam.
-Your family should not own agricultural land of size 5 acres or more.
-Your family should not own a residential flat of area 1000 square feet or more.
-Your family should not own a residential plot (in notified municipalities) of an area 100 square yards or more.
-Your family should not own a residential plot (other than in notified municipalities) of area 200 square yards or more.

Definition of ‘Family’ according to the EWS Reservation includes the following:
-The person seeking the reservation.
-His/her parents.
-His/her siblings below the age of 18 years.
-His/her spouse and children below the age of 18 years.
-The land or property owned by the family in different locations should be clubbed while checking the eligibility conditions for EWS reservations.

You can get the EWS certificate from your local government authority (Tehsil). The certificate is called an ‘Income and Assets Certificate’, and this is the proof that is required to avail the EWS reservation.

There is no online method prescribed by the government for getting an EWS certificate. You need to go to your local Tehsil or any other local government authority. You will need additional documents such as Aadhar Card, Pan Card, bank statements, passport size photo, etc. along with the Income and Assets Certificate (downloadable from many government websites)

Your elder unmarried sister income not includes in your EWS criteria of your family . It’s is the separate income of your sister who is engineer by the profession. You are still in the EWS criteria category.
