What is the story about?
IndusInd Bank MD & CEO Rajiv Anand criticised the process of Special Intentive Revision saying that his name has been marked “unmapped” in the electoral roll and that he has been asked to appear for a hearing, failing which his name could be deleted.
Anand raised the issue in a post on X on Sunday, saying he has voted in every election since becoming eligible and holds multiple government-issued identity documents.
“I have been told my name is ‘unmapped’ on the voting list. I have voted in every election ever since I have been eligible to vote. I hold a passport, PAN Card, voter ID card, Aadhar card. I am now being asked to appear for a hearing else my name will be deleted. Why should I?!” Anand said.
After his stint as DMD of Axis Bank, Anand took charge as Managing Director and CEO of IndusInd Bank on August 25, 2025, for a three-year term approved by the Reserve Bank of India. Before joining IndusInd Bank, he was Deputy Managing Director at Axis Bank and the founding MD and CEO of Axis Asset Management Company.
The reason Anand’s electoral record has been classified as “unmapped” has not been publicly established in the available reporting. His post also does not indicate whether the matter has subsequently been resolved.
In another post, Anand also added,"Indians have so many certificates to prove who they are. Aadhar card. PAN Card. Voter ID. Passport. You would think there is an identity crisis!"
Anand’s case comes amid similar scrutiny of the electoral records of several prominent Delhi voters. BJP veteran L K Advani, former vice-president Jagdeep Dhankhar, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal were among those who received notices over discrepancies in their electoral records, according to the report.
Delhi SIR Exercise
The Election Commission’s ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Delhi.
More than 33 lakh electors have been identified for notices over discrepancies in their enumeration forms, with a significant number of cases involving voters whose details could not be matched with the electoral roll prepared during the previous SIR in 2002.
The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer’s office has, however, clarified that receiving a notice during the SIR exercise does not by itself mean that a voter’s name will be deleted from the electoral roll.
The electoral authorities have said voters must be given an opportunity to be heard before any deletion, with the process requiring a proper speaking and appealable order.
The Election Commission has extended the deadline for filing claims and objections under Delhi’s SIR exercise to October 30, 2026, while the final electoral roll is scheduled to be published on December 4.
