Ews certificate using false income
Question
My friend While obtaining the EWS certificate didn’t mentioned the right amount of income and obtained the iews certificate stating his income to be 4 lpa whereas his real income his 7 lac he didn’t mention his job . He is now working in a govt dept is there any trouble he could face and how to minimize it ..
What is the maximum fine or jail term he might serve for this
Answer ( 1 )
The EWS certificate can be issued to anyone whose family income is less than Rs. 8 lakh. Principally, your friend can be removed from the job as well however considering that even if he would have mentioned Rs. 7 Lakh, he would hav got the EWS Certificate anyways so the employer has a discretion to choose not to proceed and take legal action against your friend.
