The Election Commission has extended the deadline for filing Delhi SIR claims to 25 November, with the final roll‑out scheduled for 22 December.
The Election Commission (EC) announced on Tuesday that the window for submitting Service and Income Return (SIR) claims in Delhi has been lengthened to 25 November, two weeks beyond the earlier cut‑off. The extension aims to give claimants additional time to complete the necessary paperwork before the final compilation.
Stakeholders who had already filed their SIR claims will now have a clearer timeline, while those yet to submit can use the extra days to gather required documents. The EC reiterated that the deadline is firm and any further delays will not be entertained.
Following the extended filing period, the commission will prepare the final rolls, which are slated for release on 22 December. These rolls will determine the eligibility of claimants and are expected to be used in subsequent administrative processes.
The information was reported by Business Standard, which cited the EC’s official communication. No further details on the rationale behind the extension were provided at the time of the announcement.
