Political Parties covered under the purview of RTI Act -EC
May 29, 2018
The Election Commission of India (ECI) in media reports has clarified that it does not contradicts with Central Information Commission’s (CIC) directive on Political parties covered under the purview of RTI Act. The ECI stated that it goes by the CIC order of 3rd June, 2013 that national parties would be public authorities for the purposes of RTI Act and in pursuance of this all the information about the contributions received by them as well as their annual audited accounts, as and when submitted to the Commission are put in public domain.
The ECI further remarked that as regards consultation with leaders of different political parties before presenting electoral bonds is concerned, this issue has been transferred to Ministry of Finance as it might concern them and not the Election Commission of India.
