From my recent experience helping a relative: make sure your income proof is latest, preferably for the last financial year. Any mismatch can delay approval. You can also track your application status online using your application ID—super convenient.

In Odisha, applying for an EWS certificate is mostly digital now. Here’s a breakdown:

Required Documents: - Income certificate or proof of annual family income (usually less than ₹8 lakh for EWS) - Residential proof (Aadhaar, ration card, or voter ID) - Identity proof (Aadhaar/Voter ID/Passport) - Affidavit on non-inclusion in other reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC)

Online Process: 1. Visit the Odisha e-district portal: https://edistrict.odisha.gov.in 2. Register/login with your details. 3. Navigate to Revenue Services → Caste/Income Certificates → EWS Certificate. 4. Fill in the application form with all family and income details. 5. Upload scanned copies of all required documents. 6. Submit and note the application number for tracking.

Once verified by the local revenue office, the certificate is issued digitally. Usually, it takes 7–10 working days.
