The Model Code of Conduct Cell is functioning to ensure strict implementation of the code during the NMC General Elections 2025–26, to monitor election expenditure, prevent misuse of money power, and curb the distribution of items intended to influence voters. As part of this effort, vehicle checks are being conducted throughout the election period by the FST and SST teams.
If cash exceeding the prescribed limit or related materials are found during checks, the concerned individuals are asked to produce necessary documents.

Following seizure, further investigation into the cash amount is carried out by the Police and the Income Tax Department.
If, during the inquiry, the concerned person submits appropriate and valid documents, a decision regarding the return of the seized cash and related items will be taken by the Monitoring Committee after due verification.
