The Chief Electoral Officer of Telangana State, Dr Rajat Kumar, has made it clear that the Elector Photo Identity Cards (EPICs) or voter cards will be delivered to the newly enrolled voters free of cost at their door-step. However, the existing voters having old cards will need to pay and that too only Rs 25, at Mee Seva Centre to get their EPIC. He said the Election Commission received a spate of complaints that an amount of Rs 100 was being collected at Mee Seva Centres to deliver EPIC and it was an “illegal collection”.
He clarified that those who enrolled themselves as voters in the past, would need to pay only Rs 25 at Mee Seva Centres to get the EPIC. He asked these voters to lodge a complaint using helpline 1950, if any one at Mee Seva centres demanded and collected any additional amount beyond this and warned action would be taken by the Election Commission against the guilty. He said all those who enrolled themselves as voters anew, would be given EPICs at their houses at free of cost by the Booth Level officers.
