Electoral bonds were introduced to legalize political funding in India. Late Mr. Arun Jaitley, then finance minister of India, proposed them in budget 2017-18 and the scheme was launched in January 2018. Electoral bonds were introduced on the pretext of reducing the use of black money on political campaigns and bring more transparency in political funding. 
But after a long legal battle, Supreme Court of India, declared these electoral bonds, unconstitutional on 15th February 2024 with the reasoning that, they violate fundamental right of ‘right to information’ given to Indian voters under Article 19(1)(a) and ordered the publishing of all the details related to these bonds to the public.
