The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 29 Nov 2019RBI & EC’s concerns about the opaqueness of electoral bonds should be addressed.
The government opened up a controversial route for political funding in 2017, with the introduction of electoral bonds. Their genesis is back in the news, following a two-year effort of an RTI activist to ferret out documents relating to these instruments. Electoral bonds allow a potential donor to fund a chosen political party under the cloak of anonymity, to facilitate which changes were made to relevant sections of the Companies Act. The bonds are to be issued only through State Bank of India, which is aware of the identity of the donor. Given the weak institutional checks and balances in India, this does decidedly tilt the field in favour of the ruling party of the day.
