5.ELECTORAL TRUSTS AND ELECTORAL BONDS - A NEWFOUND LOVE BETWEEN POLITICS AND THE CORPORATE SECTOR
Author: Naman Shukla & Shreyas Piplani
Abstract:
India is the world's largest and most dynamic democracy. In light of the foregoing viewpoint, it is worth noting that elections are critical to sustaining the content and character of democracy. Electoral bonds are financial mechanisms that people or corporate entities can purchase from banks and donate to political parties. Former Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitely launched this initiative in the 2017-18 National Budget, asserting that the government needs to make the political finance process entirely transparent. The NDA-led government implemented electoral reforms through the Finance Bill, 2017 with the belief that it would be a useful instrument for cleaning up political finance. A fresh Right to Information application made by lobbyist Kanhaiya Kumar in January was provided by the State Bank of India, which issued electoral bonds worth Rs. 1,213 crores at a branch in New Delhi. The identity of the contributors, as well as the modification to the Companies Act, 2013 and other related laws, among other things, attest to the dark side of Indian politics. This paper will look at the link between the motivations for implementing electoral changes and their influence on a healthy democracy. Thus, this study analyses the evolution of major legislative provisions on political fundraising, explains legal concepts, identifies systemic difficulties in the area, and suggests viable remedies in light of changes in electoral finance legislation in 2016 and 2017 and it will also through the light how it changes the other legislations in parlance to electoral reforms. The paper also tried to compare the system with other countries to know the position of our country.
