Security Deposit Rules: Identifying the Incorrect Statement
The question asks to identify the statement regarding election security deposits that is not correct. Let's examine each option:
- Option 1: A candidate forfeits their security deposit if they fail to secure at least one-sixth (1/6th) of the total valid votes cast. This is a standard rule and is generally correct.
- Option 2: The security deposit for contesting elections in a parliamentary constituency is Rs. 25,000. This statement is correct.
- Option 4: The security deposit for contesting elections in an assembly constituency is Rs. 10,000. This statement is correct for general candidates.
- Option 3: This statement concerns the deposits for Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections.
Presidential and Vice-Presidential Election Deposits
The security deposit amounts for the Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections are specific:
- Presidential Election: The security deposit is Rs. 15,000.
- Vice-Presidential Election: The security deposit is Rs. 20,000.
Statement 3 claims the security deposit for *both* Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections is Rs. 20,000. As the deposit for the Presidential election is Rs. 15,000, this statement is inaccurate.
