In February 2024, the Supreme Court of India (SCI) recognised voters' right to information concerning the financial transparency of political parties in India. This ruling sparked a dialogue among a range of stakeholders, emphasising the necessity for greater transparency and accountability in the operations of political parties. Democracies worldwide thrive when they have an informed citizenry and political parties are held to account. In this post, I examine the synergy of the SCI ruling with the scope of the right to information of the voters under the Right to Information Act, 2005 (the RTI Act). I do so by examining the 2013 ruling of the Central Information Commission of India (CIC) that declared the political parties to be within the scope of the Right to Information Act, 2005 (the RTI Act).
