Dear Sir,

This IS with reference to your letter No 76/Transparency/2017/PPEMSA^ol II

of November 3, 2023 asking political parties to disclose particulars of the
electoral bonds received by them

The Communist Party of India (Marxist), as you are aware, has right from the
inception of the electoral bond scheme voiced its opposition to it We had
decided against accepting any donation through the medium of electoral bonds

In consonance with this principled stand, the Party has not received any
donation through electoral bonds

Further, the CPI(M)has not designated any bank account for the said purpose

You may also be aware that among the three cases challenging the Electoral
Bonds Scheme pendmg before the Supreme Court, one is that ofthe CPI(M)

Yours truly

(Siiaram Yephury)
General Secretary
