The Morning Standard|March 06, 2024
THE Delhi High Court on Tuesday ordered the threshold income for admissions under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) category in city schools, which was ₹1 lakh to ₹5 lakh as per an earlier single bench order, to be modified as ₹2.5 lakh.
JAISON WILSON

A single-bench judge Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav had held that the amount can be considered 5 lakh instead of ₹1 lakh which corresponds to the living standards of the beneficiaries under the EWS section.

He pointed out that all states have a threshold amount of nearly 8 lakh while asking the AAP-led city government to carry on the process till an appropriate amendment is made in the 2011 scheme.
