Class 10 Admit Cards with Pass Certificate Valid as ID: SC in West Bengal SIR

The Supreme Court ruled that Madhyamik admit cards must be paired with pass certificates for voter verification amid a revision removing over 5.8 million voters, court records show.

  • On February 25, 2026, the Supreme Court of India clarified Madhyamik admit cards may be submitted with the pass certificate for verification during West Bengal's SIR.
  • On February 20, the Supreme Court involved the judiciary due to a trust deficit between the Mamata Banerjee government and the EC, deploying judicial officers after more than 58 lakh voters were removed.
  • Local judicial officers signalled familiarity with the admit-card data, as an advocate raised concerns about admit cards as standalone IDs and West Bengal judges noted birth and parentage details in Class 10 admit cards.
  • The EC was authorised to publish the final list on February 28, 2026, with 250 judicial officers beginning work and judges from Odisha and Jharkhand assisting.
  • EROs and AEROs must submit documents received before February 14 to presiding judicial officers by February 26, 2026 5 PM; verification will follow the EC's October 27, 2025 SIR notification with continuous supplementary lists.
