The Supreme Court has referred challenges against the electoral bond scheme, used for political party funding, to a five-judge Constitution bench. The bench is scheduled to hear the case on October 30, 2023. The electoral bond scheme was introduced by the Indian government in 2018. It allows individuals and organizations to donate money to political parties through bearer bonds. The scheme has been criticized for its lack of transparency, as it does not require donors to disclose their identity.
