    State funding of elections means that government gives funds to political parties or candidates for contesting elections. Its main purpose is to make it unnecessary for contestants to take money from powerful moneyed interests so that they can remain clean. Justice B.P. Jeevan Reddy Committee opposed the state funding of elections in India. 
    Indrajit Gupta Committee on State Funding Of Elections (1998) gave the recommendation that State funding should be in kind, that is, no financial support is to be given to parties and also, part of the financial burden of the parties should be initially borne by the state. A Rs. 600 crore contribution from the center and an equal amount by the states, annually, towards an election corpus fund for the purpose.
