‘Electoral Bonds in Scrip Form Dangerous for Nation’: Ex RBI Guv

Not just once but in much of the correspondence with then Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, then RBI Governor Urjit Patel insisted on issuing electoral bonds in a digital as opposed to a scrip form, citing threat of money laundering the latter would carry. However, the Finance Ministry overruled Patel’s concerns.

Electoral Bonds in Scrip Form Dangerous for Nation: Ex-RBI Guv

“Issue of EBs (electoral bonds) in scrip form is fraught with serious risk of money laundering,” said Urjit Patel.

"These bonds don't qualify to be a 'promissory note' and if allowed in this form, it can lead to the danger of money laundering" : Law Ministry to Finance Ministry.

Read more about Anything can be done with EVMs: BJP suspects foul play in Bengal bypolls on Business-standard. National Secretary and Bengal BJP leader Rahul Sinha said that the state machinery openly helped the ruling Trinamool Congress and that they will report this to the Election Commission

Do read Part 4 of the expose by @nit_set@mstdn, building on @poonamjourno 's earlier work, that establishes that electoral bonds are not anonymous at all.

Nitin,

Small feedback : the implication of traceability is that the scheme of electoral bonds disproportionately favours the RULING party; this aspect should have come out more clearly and forcefully in the article.

Awesome work.
