Electoral Bonds: Year- and Party-wise Income of Political Parties through Electoral Bonds, Grants, Donations and Contributions
The dataset contains year- and party-wise total income of Political Parties, obtained through electoral bonds, grants, donations, contributions and other sources from the year 2017-18 to 2023-24.
Notes:
1. The data sources of data on Electoral Bonds (EBs) are both Annual Audit Reports (AAR) submitted by Political Parties (PPs) to Election Commission of India (ECI) and the latest data on electoral bonds submitted by State Bank of India (SBI) to the ECI, pursuant to the judgment of Supreme Court.
2. The EBs data from the year 2017-18 to the 2022-23 is taken from AARs submitted by PPs to the ECI. Additionally, during the same period of 2017-18 to the 2022-23, wherever data on income through EBs data was not found in AARs but in the data submitted by SBI to the ECI, the same data was added in the dataset.
3. As the 2023-24 data of income of PPs through EBs is not provided to the ECI by PPs as yet, the data submitted by SBI to the ECI is added in the dataset for the same period.
4. EBs redemption by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the year 2019-20 to 2022-23 was calculated by subtracting data from Annual Audit Reports ( which contains income through Electoral Trusts and Electoral Bonds) submitted by it with the Annual report of Electoral Trust for the respective year
