Chief Election Commissioner Rajeev Kumar was working on this portal for the last one year. This portal is part of the 3C strategy of the Election Commission.
The Election Commission (EC) has launched an online portal on Monday. All the parties will now have to give their financial details (account of income and expenditure), election expenditure and the funds received by the party on this portal.
The purpose of this portal is to make the election process even more transparent.
Work on the portal was going on since a year ago
According to media reports, Chief Election Commissioner Rajeev Kumar was working on the idea of this portal for the last one year. This portal is part of the 3C strategy of the Election Commission.
Under this, to keep transparency and accountability strong in political funding and expenditure, 3C i.e. Clean Up (Cleaning), Crackdown (action on illegal funding) and (Compliance) rules are to be followed.
The Election Commission has issued a press note giving information about the new portal.
Why the financial details were not given, the reason has to be given
Political parties who do not submit their financial details on this portal will have to give reasons in writing. Along with this, the report has to be filed in the prescribed format along with CD and pen drive. EC will publish the reports of all the parties online.
EC has written a letter to all political parties regarding this. Joint Director Anuj Chandak told in the letter that apart from transparency, there are two other objectives behind launching this portal.
First, the difficulty in giving financial details in physical form to political parties. Second, timely filing of financial reports. He told that the numbers of official representatives of political parties are fed on the portal. Time to time reminders will be sent to them for filing the report.
It is necessary to give details to the Election Commission under the Representation of the People Act.
Under the Representation of the People Act, 1951, the EC is required to furnish financial details of all political parties from time to time.
