Criteria for deposit loss in election
As per the Representation of People Act, 1951, it is mandatory for every candidate contesting a Parliamentary or Assembly election to deposit a certain security amount. To contest a Parliamentary election, the amount is Rs 25,000 and in case of an Assembly election, it is Rs 10,000. This amount is deposited with the Election Commission and is called a security deposit in the election.
The deposit amount is mandated to ensure only serious candidates file nominations to contest elections. Now, if the candidate gets fewer than one-sixth of the total number of valid votes cast in the constituency, his/her security deposit will be lost and the Election Commission will not refund it.
