Main Body

Electoral Bonds were introduced to curb black money and to formalise the electoral funding through the state Bank of India.They helped in providing anonymity to donors which saved them from a witch-hunt if the party (to which they did not donate) came to power.Thus, by reducing transparency, electoral bonds have allowed the donors to donate to political parties without any fear.This has helped the political parties to mobilize funds for their election campaigns.
