According to officials at the state chief electoral officer, the service centres should ideally charge Rs 25 for the EPIC, that is Rs 10 for the card and Rs 15 for the service.
“Voters need not pay more than Rs 25 when it is clearly mentioned,” said . Bhanwar Lal, AP chief electoral officer.
Existing voters can approach the election office for any corrections in their names or addresses on the cards. Between 10am and 5pm, both applicants and existing card holders can come to the election office.
