How to Fill SIR Form 2025 West Bengal – Step by Step Guide

Avoid BLO rejection. Fill Annexure-III form correctly in 10 minutes. Free sample, common mistakes, and tips included.

Step 1: Gather Required Documents Before Filling

Collect these items: Aadhaar Card (original + photocopy), 2002 voter list proof (if available), current Voter ID, and address proof (electricity bill, bank passbook). Without 2002 proof, don’t worry — BLO will verify via neighbors. Keep everything ready to avoid last-minute panic.

Step 2: Fill Top Section – Personal Details

Write your full name exactly as in Aadhaar in the first box. Enter Date of Birth in DD/MM/YYYY format. In family EPIC section, fill Father’s, Mother’s, or Spouse’s Voter ID number only if known. Use ‘Not Known’ if unsure. This helps BLO trace family linkage.

Step 3: Copy Electoral Roll Details (Left Column)

Get your current voter list PDF from your BLO or download from our 2002 list checker. Copy your name, EPIC, father’s name, AC number, Part No., and Serial No. exactly as printed — even if wrong. This is your baseline record.

Step 4: Fill SIR Column (Right Side) – Current Status

Write your correct name, address, and status here. If you shifted, mention new AC. If name changed after marriage, write new name. If alive and same address, repeat left column data. This column decides your final voter list entry.

Step 5: Tick All 3 Declaration Boxes

Read carefully and tick all three:

  1. You are not a citizen of any other country.
  2. You are not enrolled in any other constituency.
  3. You understand false declaration is punishable under law.
Missing any box = automatic rejection.

Step 6: Signature or Left Thumb Impression

Use blue ink. Women and elderly should use left thumb impression. Men can sign. If you are absent, any adult family member can sign on your behalf. BLO will countersign below.

Step 7: Submit to BLO During Home Visit

Do not mail or submit online. Wait for BLO visit (Nov 2025 – Jan 2026). Hand over printed form with documents. Get acknowledgment slip. If missed, visit your polling station with form.

Frequently Asked Questions – How to Fill SIR Form

If your name is wrong in the current voter list (e.g., “Rahul Kumar” instead of “Rahul Kumar Singh”), copy the wrong name exactly in the Electoral Roll column (left). In the SIR column (right), write your correct name as per Aadhaar. Attach a photocopy of Aadhaar. The BLO will verify and update the voter list during revision. This is the official process to correct spelling errors. Do not try to correct the left column — it must match the printed list. Over 40% of rejections happen due to mismatch here. Always cross-check with your Voter ID card or download your voter slip from our 2002 list tool.

Yes, you can fill the SIR form in Bengali, but English is strongly recommended for faster processing and to avoid rejection. BLOs across West Bengal handle thousands of forms daily, and English ensures clarity. If you write in Bengali, use clear, bold handwriting and avoid cursive. Names must match Aadhaar exactly (even if in English). If your Aadhaar is in Bengali, write the English transliteration in the form. Miscommunication due to language has caused delays in past revisions. Use our online English form to generate a print-ready PDF in seconds.

Simply write “Not Known” or leave the EPIC box blank. The father’s, mother’s, or spouse’s EPIC number is not mandatory. It is only for family linkage. BLOs use it to trace household members, but absence does not affect your enrollment. Only your own EPIC (if you have Voter ID) and Aadhaar are critical. If you want to find family EPIC, check your old voter slip or ask neighbors. Use our 2002 voter list search to find family names.

Yes, you must fill both columns even if everything is correct. In the left column, copy your details from the current voter list. In the right column (SIR), write the same details again. This confirms you are alive, residing at the address, and not shifted or dead. Skipping the right column means no verification — your name may be deleted. This is the most common mistake in SIR 2025. Use our online form to auto-fill both sides.

In the left column, write your old AC name, Part No., and Serial No. from your previous voter list. In the SIR column, write your current West Bengal address, new AC name, and Part No. Tick the declaration that you are not enrolled elsewhere. BLO will delete you from the old list and add to the new one. Bring proof of new address (rent agreement, electricity bill). This process ensures no duplicate entry. Use SIR 2025 timeline to track deletion status.

Yes. Use left thumb impression (preferred for women and elderly) or signature in blue ink. Men can sign. If you are not present, any adult family member can put thumb impression on your behalf. The BLO will countersign below. Without this, the form is invalid. Use plain paper if thumb ink smudges. Practice on scrap paper first. Digital signature is not accepted.

Your form will be rejected immediately. You must tick all 3 declaration boxes:
  1. Citizenship of India only
  2. Not enrolled elsewhere
  3. Truthfulness under Section 31, RPA 1950 (punishable by law)
Missing any box means no legal validity. BLOs are instructed to return such forms. Use our online form — it forces declaration before submission.

No. Online submission is not allowed. The ECI portal (voters.eci.gov.in) is only for preparation and awareness. You must print the form and hand it to the BLO during door-to-door visit. If you miss the visit, take the printed form to your polling station. Use our free online tool to fill, download, and print in 5 minutes. Digital copy has no value without BLO signature.
