The Election Commission has enhanced the honorarium for the polling personnel to be deployed for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
"There will be a substantial hike in honorarium for the polling personnel this time and the entire payment will be credited directly to their bank accounts," Assistant Chief Electoral Officer Amitjyoti Bhattacharya said here on Friday.
Elaborating this, Bhattacharya said each presiding officer would get an honorarium of Rs 1,600, up from Rs 1,100 plus a contingency amount of Rs 300 this time and each polling officer would get an honorarium of Rs 1,150, up from Rs 800 for election duty.
