Top 10 Donors to AAP (FY 2013-14 and 2014-15)
· None of the top 10 donors have provided complete details of mode of payment of donations.
· Bajaj Electoral Trust donated Rs 3 crores during FY 2014-15 by cheque but the cheque number was not declared.
· It is to be noted that there were 2 donors by the name of Priya Bansal, one who donated Rs 36 lakhs but did not provide address or PAN details or complete mode of contribution and the other Priya Bansal had providedcomplete address and PAN details in all the seven donations she had madefor a total amount of Rs 34 lakhs. The donors could not be verified due to incomplete information and hence their donations were not clubbed. Suchincomplete information should thus be discouraged.
Recommendations of ADR
· The Supreme Court gave a judgment on September 13, 2013 declaring that no part of a candidate’s affidavit should be left blank. Along the same lines, we recommend that the Election Commission India impose rules that no part of the Form 24A submitted by political parties providing details of donations above Rs 20,000 should be left blank.
· Full details of all donors should be made available for public scrutiny under the RTI. Some countries where this is done include Bhutan, Nepal, Germany, France, Italy, Brazil, Bulgaria, the US and Japan. In none of these countries is it possible for 75% of the source of funds to be unknown.
· Details of donors who make donations to the Electoral Trusts should be available in the public domain for increasing transparency in funding of political parties.
· Any party which does not submit its donation statement to the ECI on or before the due date, their income should not be tax-exempted and defaulting parties should be derecognized.
