Election Expenditure Monitoring [EEM]

BRIEFING OF DEO/ROs/MTs
Assembly Elections- 2013






Слайд 2 The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be

adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of hearts. Democracy is something that gives the weak the same chance as strong. –
Mahatma Gandhi

Слайд 3The US Secretary of the state, Hillary Clinton was more justified

when she said during her visit to India in 2012,

"India's Election Commission is viewed as a global standard for running democracy."

Слайд 4USE OF MONEY POWER

Without Money, Multi-party democracy cannot function
But

‘Money Power’ involves certain risks:

Uneven Playing field and lack of fair competition,

Political Exclusion – Certain sectors face disadvantage,

Co-Opted politicians under campaign debts,

Tainted Governance and Rule of Law undermined.

Excessive, illegal & illegitimate expenditure in elections is the root cause of corruption



Слайд 5MONITORING: RELATED ISSUES

and is not anathema to regular business

But if it is undisclosed, Income Tax Department can seize
