The new I-T Bill’s electoral bonds have experts’ attention.

• The new I-T Bill, 2025 retains provisions related to electoral bonds, which were deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

• Experts suggest this could be a legislative oversight or the government’s intention to reintroduce electoral bonds.

• The Bill’s Schedule VIII includes electoral bonds, exempting anonymous donations received through bonds by political parties.

• Senior partner Rajat Mohan suggests this could be a strategic move for future electoral financing reforms.
