51. Is information in reports from political parties and/or candidates to be made public?
India
"The Parties are required to disclose to the Commission, within 75 days of assembly election and 90 days of Loksabha election, the total amount of election expenses incurred by them (As per SC order in Common Cause case). But there is no penal provision, if the parties do not submit the report at all or submit incomplete or incorrect report. The Commission has issued instruction in its transparency guidelines for the political parties that such report submitted should be verified by the Chartered accountant of the Party, but there is no penal provision to ensure this. The Commission puts these reports on its website"
