Thank you, my income gets counted as well? Given I’m applying for higher education and will be losing that source of income
But, you do have that source of income at the time of application, right? Whatever you write has to be true on the day you submit the application form. That's what the disclaimer at the end is for.
For EWS as well as OBC-NC, family income (self + spouse + parents) is counted. The rule includes siblings as well, but nobody asks about them. But, parents & spouse would have to be furnished via Form-16 & ITR.
