For the three-tier Panchayat election, it will be mandatory for the candidates of Sarpanch, Janpad Panchayat and Zila Panchayat members to submit no dues certificates of all the liabilities (dues) to the Panchayats along with their nomination papers. The nomination paper will be cancelled if no dues certificate is not produced along with the nomination paper. The no dues certificates can be presented to the Returning Officer concerned for scrutiny of nomination papers by the stipulated date and time.
Secretary State Election Commission Shri BS Jamod has informed that no dues certificate will have to be submitted till the financial year preceding the announcement of election. The no dues certificate in the prescribed format will be issued by the Secretary for Gram Panchayat, Chief Executive Officer Janpad Panchayat for Janpad Panchayat and Chief Executive Officer Zila Panchayat for Zila Panchayat.
The no dues certificate of that Panchayat will have to be attached for the Panchayat for which the nomination form is being filled by the candidate. If the candidate has been an officer / member of any other Panchayat in the past, then it will be mandatory for him/her to produce the no-dues certificate of the previous Panchayat as well. That is, if a candidate has been a sarpanch in the past and now wants to contest the election of a member of the Janpad / District Panchayat, then he/she will have to submit the no dues certificate of the village panchayat along with the Janpad / District panchayat. Similarly, if a former Janpad Panchayat member or Zila Panchayat member wants to contest the election of Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat, then it will be mandatory for him/her to present the no-dues certificate of the concerned District / Janpad Panchayat along with the Gram Panchayat.
