Frequently Asked Questions

My Aadhaar shows another state address but I live in Delhi. Can I get Delhi income certificate?

Yes — you can apply with Delhi Voter ID + Electricity Bill / Rent Agreement as residence proof, even if Aadhaar shows another state. The SDM verifies current Delhi residence.

EWS certificate vs income certificate Delhi — same?

They're different. Income certificate proves annual income. EWS certificate certifies that annual family income is below ₹8 lakh AND you don't own property above certain limits. EWS certificate requires income certificate as a supporting document.
