Kerala Chief Electoral Officer Rathan U Kelkar on Saturday sent the Deputy CEO and a section officer back to their parent departments over an EC document sent to political parties that bore a BJP seal.
The decision was taken following an inquiry into the incident conducted by Additional CEO P B Nooh, IAS, a statement from EC said.
Based on the inquiry report, the Deputy Chief Electoral Officer and the section officer were relieved of their election-related duties and sent back to their parent departments, the statement added.
The controversy surfaced after the CPI(M) flagged the issue on the social media platform 'X', sharing an affidavit attached to a March 19, 2019, letter sent to political parties that bore the BJP Kerala seal instead of the Election Commission's official seal.
The EC had termed it a "purely clerical error" and said it had been rectified immediately.
It also said that the official responsible for the error had been placed under suspension.

AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Saturday alleged that several "B teams" were formed and many tried to "break" the AIADMK by filing cases in court, but all that has been smashed and shattered into pieces.
Without naming expelled AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam, Palaniswami, while garnering votes in North Chennai for the April 23 Assembly polls, here, said, "Several internal problems were created in the party and now see where they (Panneerselvam) have gone."
"The true face (of Panneerselvam) has come out. The cat is out of the bag. After Amma's (As Jayalalithaa is fondly called, meaning mother) demise, many tried to capture this movement intentionally. But with the help of you all and party supporters, we stopped and have proven that AIADMK is a strong movement," he said.
"After Amma passed away (on December 5, 2016) they thought the party would break. They tried so much to break this party by creating some B teams. But, along with the support of the people and party

Israel's military said Yemen had launched a missile toward Israel early Saturday morning, the first time it had faced fire from that country.
Iran and Hezbollah continued to fire on Israel overnight Friday into Saturday.
Sirens went off around Beer Sheba and the area near Israel's main nuclear research center for the third time overnight Friday into Saturday.
The Houthis, a rebel group backed by Tehran, have held Yemen's capital, Sanaa, since 2014. They did not immediately acknowledge launching an attack against Israel.
The Houthis so far had stayed out of the war as the rebels have had an uneasy ceasefire for years with Saudi Arabia, which launched a war against the group on behalf of Yemen's exiled government in 2015.

Former Google executive Matt Brittin will be the new director-general of the BBC, the broadcaster announced Wednesday, taking the helm as the UK's national broadcaster faces an uncertain future and a USD 10 billion lawsuit from US President Donald Trump.
Brittin, 57, spent almost two decades at Google, becoming the company's president in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. He does not have a background in broadcasting.
He said the 104-year-old BBC is "an extraordinary, uniquely British asset."
"Now, more than ever, we need a thriving BBC that works for everyone in a complex, uncertain and fast changing world," he said in a statement.
Brittin will start the job on May 18. He replaces Tim Davie, who resigned in November over criticism of how the broadcaster edited a speech Trump made on January 6, 2021, before some of the president's supporters stormed the US Capitol.
A documentary aired days before the 2024 presidential election spliced together three quotes from the speech into w
