ECI’s efforts for more transparency: Political parties can file financial accounts online

The Political parties will now be able to file their financial accounts online to the Election Commission. The measure has been enabled with the launch of a new web-portal  (https://iems.eci.gov.in/) to facilitate the online filing of Contribution Report, Audited Annual Account and Election Expenditure Statement by the Political Parties. The ECI has written a letter to all the concerned parties in this connection. The parties not wishing to file the financial report through online mode will have to convey the reasons. The commission will publish all financial reports online.
