The Election Commission of India has extended the deadline for submitting Statements of Information and Returns (SIR) in six states, including Delhi.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced an extension of the deadline for candidates to submit their Statements of Information and Returns (SIR). This administrative decision applies to six states across the country, with Delhi being one of the key jurisdictions included in the list.
The extension aims to provide candidates with additional time to compile and file the necessary financial and legal disclosures required before the election process advances. The move is part of the standard regulatory framework governing electoral transparency in India.
While the specific new deadline date was not detailed in the immediate report, the ECI's decision ensures that the legal compliance process is completed for all contenders in the affected regions. The Commission continues to monitor the submission process to maintain the integrity of the electoral timeline.
