I was talking about inspection once it reaches the election agency. After that, till counting both are same, however the fact that they can be tampered with during manufacturing is what bothers me. Essentially the ballot boxes only require one trustable entity the election agency, the EVM requires two trustable entities the EVM manufacturer and the election agency.

The next generation of EVMs apparently come with an additional printer unit (VVPAT) that doubles up as a ballot box. The voter can verify that what got printed was the vote he/she cast, and the papers collected in the printer unit's "ballot box" can be manually counted and used to cross-verify an EVM's result.
