IndusInd Bank CEO Rajiv Anand has expressed concern after learning his name was marked "unmapped" on the electoral roll. In a tweet, Anand stated he has voted in every election since becoming eligible, despite holding multiple government-issued IDs like a passport, PAN Card, voter ID card, and Aadhar card. He now faces the possibility of having his name deleted from the voter list unless he attends a hearing.
Anand questioned the need for additional verification when he already possesses numerous identity proofs. The issue stems from the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, where some voters have received notices due to unmapped records or other discrepancies. The EC has announced measures to simplify the verification process, such as doorstep document collection and extended deadlines in certain regions.
Booth Level Officers will visit homes of affected individuals, and documents collected will be reviewed online by Electoral Registration Officers. While hearings are typically only conducted in exceptional cases, citizens can have a family member appear on their behalf if needed.
