Commissions & Committee on Rats Funding

Some major reports on state funding include those given by the 

 Indrajit Gupta Committee on State Funding of Elections (1998), Law Commission Report on reform of the Electoral Laws (1999), National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution (2001) and the Second  dministrative Reforms Commission (2009).

Except for the 2001 report, all other recommended partial state funding only, given the economic situation of the country. The 1998 report said that state funds should be given only to registered national and state parties and that it should be given in kind only.

The 1999 report concurred with this but also recommended first putting a strong regulatory framework in place including internal elections, accounting procedures etc. The 2001 report said that first a regulatory framework needs to be established before thinking about state funding.
