The Indian government has granted approval for the release of the 30th tranche of electoral bonds, set to go on sale from January 2 to January 11, 2024. This development precedes the upcoming general elections later this year and coincides with the anticipated Supreme Court verdict on the validity of the electoral bonds scheme.
Purpose and Transparency: Electoral bonds serve as an alternative to cash donations, aiming to enhance transparency in political funding.
Recipient Eligibility: Registered political parties securing a minimum of 1% of votes in the last Lok Sabha or legislative assembly elections are eligible to receive funding through electoral bonds.
SBI, in the 30th phase of sale, will issue and encash electoral bonds through its 29 authorized branches.
Authorized branches include locations such as Bengaluru, Lucknow, Shimla, Kolkata, Chennai, New Delhi, and Mumbai, among others.
Electoral bonds will remain valid for 15 calendar days from the date of issue.
Eligible political parties can expect the credited amount on the same day the electoral bond is deposited in their account.
