Is permanent resident certificate required for EWS?
Answered on February 19,2020
You need to have a domicile or residential certificate to prove that you belong to that particular state for availing EWS reservations.
Permanent Residency Certificates is also similar to a Domicile or Residential certificate which serves as proof of permanent resident of a citizen in a village or town or ward. This certificate certifies that a particular person belongs to a particular state.
Only the following States in India issues PRC.
- Arunachal Pradesh
- Assam
- Mizoram
- Meghalaya
- Tripura
- Manipur
- Jammu & Kashmir
So, if you belong to any of these states, you might be asked by the Authorities to submit a PRC rather than a domicile or residential certificate.
