    What is the significance of this report?
    Credits:
  • There are 47 regional parties in the country. Of these, 15 parties, including Akhilesh Yadav-led SP and Lalu Yadav's RJD didn't submit their detailed audit reports to the EC.

    To tackle this, the report suggested such parties should not be tax-exempted and should be de-recognized.

    As there is high unaccounted money, report says donor details should be available under RTI.
