New Delhi. The governments of all the states and union territories, including the Central Government, are constantly trying to ensure that every person should exercise his right to vote. For this, the Election Commission is trying to encourage people to vote in different ways along with increasing the facilities at the polling stations, keeping the voter list correct, running awareness campaigns. Even after this till now it is not possible to get 100%. Meanwhile, it is being claimed that if a voter does not go to vote in the Lok Sabha Election 2024, then Rs 350 will be deducted from his bank account (Bank A / C). Let us know what is the whole matter?
What is being claimed?
It is being claimed in a news article that the Election Commission will deduct ₹ 350 from the bank accounts of voters who do not exercise their franchise in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. It has also been said that those who do not vote will be identified through an Aadhar card. This amount will be deducted from their bank account linked to this card. It has been claimed that the Election Commission has also given orders to all the banks in this regard. The spokesperson of the Commission has been quoted as saying that the expenditure made by the Commission on the preparations made for the voters who do not come to vote goes waste. Therefore, the damage caused will be recovered from the voters only. For this, the commission has already taken approval from the court so that later no one can approach the court against this decision.

what is the truth of this claim?
When the Press Information working under the Central Government investigated this claim, it came to know that this news is completely baseless and fake. The PIB said that the Central Election Commission has not taken any such decision. The Bureau said that neither such a decision has been taken by the Central Government nor has the Election Commission issued an order to the banks in this regard. Therefore, the question of ordering such a decision on the part of the Court does not arise. PIB has said that in its investigation, this claim has been found to be 100% fake.
