    Election Commission delists over 200 political parties
  • The Election Commission of India (EC) has 'delisted' over 200 political parties, which have not contested polls since 2005.

    The commission believes that these parties exist mostly on paper, enabling the conversion of black money into white by means of accepting donations.

    The poll panel will soon write to the Income Tax authorities asking them to look into the finances of these parties.

    EC's reforms proposal to restrict black money in elections

    EC's reforms proposal to restrict black money in elections
  • Seeking to stem the flow of black money in elections, Election Commission (EC) proposed a set of reforms, which are pending with the government.

    The recommendations, among other things, sought to bring down the limit of accepting anonymous donations to Rs.2,000 for political parties.

    Under current law, details of donors whose contributions are below Rs.20,000 need not be furnished, providing major loophole to parties.

    Other recommendations to make poll funding transparent

    Other recommendations to make poll funding transparent
  • The current law "exempts all political parties from taxes on income generated from a group of sources, including donations by volunteers".

    EC in its reforms, proposed that the exemption of Income Tax should only be extended for political parties that contest assembly and parliamentary polls.

    It had further recommended that the parties keep the receipts/coupons for donations as small as Rs.10 and Rs.20.

    Reforms also seek power to de-register parties

  • The proposed electoral reforms also seek power for the EC to de-register political parties as "many parties get registered but never contest elections." EC at present only has the power to 'de-list' such parties for being dormant, as per Article 324 of the Constitution.
