The deputy district election officer Kumar Vineet on Saturday directed banks to follow the guidelines of Indian Banks’ Association with regard to transporting cash during elections. Agencies transporting cash have been warned that cash of a third party being transported will be seized. “Banks should ensure that cash vans of outsourced agencies carrying the bank’s cash shall not, under any circumstance, carry cash of any third party agency except the bank. Else, flying squads will seize the cash if it is found to belong to persons or institutions other than the bank,” Vineet said. “The personnel of the outsourced agency in the cash van should carry an identity card issued by the respective agency,” Vineet said.
