Supreme Court to review rules on anonymous political donations
The Supreme Court is set to look into whether political parties should keep getting tax breaks for taking cash donations under ₹2,000 without revealing who gave the money.
Advocate Jayesh K Unnikrishnan's petition says this loophole could hurt fair elections and undermine transparency.
Now, the court wants answers from the government, Election Commission, and all recognized political parties.
Why this matters: pushing for donor transparency
The petition argues that hiding donor names goes against the Constitution and makes politics less transparent.
It's calling for all parties to reveal who funds them, so voters know where the money comes from.
The court agreed to hear the case after realizing it could affect every political party across India—so this debate on clean politics just got a lot bigger.
