Summary:
CHANDIGARH: Even crorepatis — individual or a family having immovable property worth Rs 1 crore — will be considered for the economically weaker section quota in Haryana . However, if the property value is a tad above Rs 1 crore, the family won’t fit the bill.The criteria to provide 10% quota under the newly-carved EWS category was approved on Wednesday by the Haryana cabinet in Chandigarh. The department has 19 posts of ASPs which are being filled up by DSPs. As per the amendment, a candidate having 10 years’ regular service as DSP will be re-designated as ASP in his own pay scale, subject to availability of vacant post in their pay scale. Persons whose families own over 5 acres of agricultural land, residential flat of 1000 square feet and above, residential plot of 100 square yards and above in notified municipalities, residential plot of 200 square yards and above in areas other than notified municipalities or any immovable property worth more than Rs 1 crore, would not be considered EWS..
