Delhi EWS Admission Limit Raised: Income Cap Increased From ₹2.5 Lakh To ₹5 Lakh Annually

In a move to benefit a far greater chunk of students, Delhi LG, VK Saxena has approved the enhancement of threshold limit of annual income from Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh for students of Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Disadvantaged Groups for availing of EWS seats in the Private Schools of Delhi.

As a result, this move will result making a much larger chunk of students belonging to all categories, reserved as well as general, eligible for getting admission in Private Schools.

The Delhi High Court, in its order dated 05.12.2023, had asked the Delhi Government to increase the threshold limit from the existing Rs one lakh to Rs five lakh. However, the Delhi Government through the Chief Minister had submitted a file with a proposal to enhance the limit to only Rs 2.5 lakh in October end 2024.

The LG while approving the proposal of the limit of Rs 2.5 lakh, had strongly advised the Chief Minister to revisit this threshold limit and raise it to at least Rs05 lakh.

Thereafter, the High Court in an order dated 13.11.2024, observed that its earlier orders had remained disobeyed.
This compelled the Delhi Government to yet again revise the threshold limit from Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 05 lakh and send it to LG for approval today.
