SHILLONG: Chief Electoral Officer of Meghalaya, Frederick Kharkongor on Friday  held a meeting with the convener of State Level Bankers Committee (SLBC) to ensure Election Commission of India’s instruction on monitoring of withdrawal from banks.

Following the announcement of poll dates by the Election Commission of India and the Model Code of Conduct is enforced; the CEO shared the guideline of the ECI which relates to the collection of information from the banks regarding suspicious transaction during electioneering.

Unusual and suspicious cash withdrawal or deposit of cash in a bank account exceeding one lakh rupees during the process of election, without any such instance of deposit or withdrawal during the last two months, transfer of amounts by RTGS from one bank account to several other accounts in a district or constituency are some of several examples of suspicious cash transactions, he added.
