New Delhi: A day after the launch of a new pension scheme, the Election Commission has slapped a notice on the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), charging it with "non-compliance" of poll panel's directions on advertisements that appeared in newspapers.
Observing that the contents of the advertisement, which appeared on Friday were at "great variance" from the one that was cleared, the EC asked the PFRDA to respond by 5 pm on May 5.
The Commission in its notice said it had given permission for an advertisement regarding the scheme with the stipulation that there would be no picture of 'clock' as it was a symbol of a recognised political party.
"The Commission has decided to ask for the comments and explanation of your Organisation (PFRDA) for the deviation and non-compliance", the EC said in its notice served on the Executive Director of the Authority.
