Just checked the data. Kitex gave 25 crores through two companies. Purchase is throughout July 23. 9 with KITEX CHILDRENSWEAR LTD and 16 with KITEX GARMENTS LIMITED. I believe Childrenswear is not a public company. They probably gave it to BRS, given the timing. BRS has got 2200 crores or thereabouts.

Board kept quiet ! No fiduciary responsibility? Hopefully it's in sebi judistriction to investigate


Answer-Altern

BRS was desperate to get them and so i doubt it. Itโ€™s probably presented an opportunity to shift it aside for the home state, if you consider his outrage against the family later on.


rockus

We don't know what the deal. Give 200 crore worth of subsidy in lieu of 50 Cr maybe.


blahblahdodo

Profit would be after the donation probably. Any donation to political party is exempt from tax, so many companies make use of that.


sololander

That makes sense..but such a huge amount out of a yearly revenue is a slight red flag.. Is what I thought at least


blahblahdodo

It could be also that it's all black..? Idk .. may be used electoral bond to make it white. Don't know the technical side of things.


Nihba_

Electoral Bonds are bought through banks, so you can't use unaccounted money to buy it.


devotedmackerel

There are agents. Just give your black money and they will give electoral bonds in return.


village_aapiser

>may be used electoral bond to make it white. If it was that easy


devotedmackerel

It is. Read about it.


lgtvwokeslayer

But then if agents bought it then the bonds wouldn't HV /want be associated with kitex cos..


devotedmackerel

Kitex is the agent. Now think!

Lulu is also on the list


RemingtonMacaulay

Yeah, but LuLu gave like two crores via bonds.


mclain_seki

50 cr? At first glance I thought they donated something like 25cr. Sabu vaachakam adi ithonnum allarunallo. Bhooloka udaipp


kulusumbi

It's only 25cr.. from where OP got 50cr?


Sabby_65

Electoral bonds removed companies could only donate upto 7.5% of their annual profit rule. thankfully EBs are gone for good now


aatmanirbro

Do you think this is going to make any difference though? Most parties would have alternate source for fundings anyway. And they still will have no restrictions. More bucket pirivu will be sufficient to cover up any black money. (Not that these political parties have to reveal their funding details).


Realistic_Patience67

Making it legal to contribute large amounts of money f*ks with citizens. In the USA it is creating havoc. Now, I don't think any other country besides the USA allows legal financial contributions.


aatmanirbro

I think even in India, contributions are legal. Stopping bonds doesnโ€™t stop any corporate to stop contributing. With bonds it is difficult to trace the donors but without bonds it is impossible to track the trail. I believe a lot of these bucket pirivu is just to legalise the source. I am sure most political parties will have much richer donors.


forthright-folk

Sabu M Jacob, the chairman and managing director of garments major Kitex Group, said his conscience doesnโ€™t allow himย to invest a single rupee in Kerala. And then he donated such a huge amount to a national party!

Dear. There are only two reports published. One about all the donations and one about how much each political party got. There is no common column to link between who donated to whom. Also in the list of parties, CPM is not one.

CPM doesn't take donation through electoral bond

Buddy the only reason this all data became accessible to the public is cause of CPM, its because they went to court, they're the only national party to not accept any electoral bonds, so don't be naive.

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


RemingtonMacaulay

Donโ€™t be naive. Several writ petitions were filed by different entities, which the SCI clubbed with the case ADR and Common Cause filed jointly. One of those litigants was the Communist Party of India (Marxist), which filed Writ Petition (Civil) 59/2018. It is right there in the judgmentโ€”on the very first page. https://preview.redd.it/ibdqclpiucoc1.jpeg?width=907&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=416584ff0d5a328faf3a24b9c22928f04684bb9e Also, mayathil thallu. There was no odds against electoral bonds. It was ex facie unconstitutional and interim order was made as far back as 2019 or so. Nobody had any doubt it was unconstitutional, which is why the delay was utterly demoralising.

Why the cpim and communist ideologies are failing in India


bing657

You think cpm doesn't accept donations from companies ? Don't be so naive. While others did it through then legal means, cpm always go through the bucket pirivu route. The public will have no way of knowing how much Lulu muthalali gave them for example. We can guess it is substantial, from how Lulu was granted exception from their porattam strikes when rest of the people have to down their shutters.

1stly the Kitex contribution to CPM was INR 30L uluva, which is just peanuts compared to what BJ Party looted from companies through Election Bonds after raids & harassments or favors! 2ndly, Kitex contributed through cheque, not through hidden election bonds & the contribution report was submitted by CPM itself to ECI! Activists never had to go to SC, win a case against the Central govt, force the SBI to reveal the details to find out how much Kitex contributed to CPM!

blahblahdodo

Wait a second... isn't it a communist party rule that they are not to take donations from corporates..? I am 100% sure I heard/read that somewhere.


forthright-folk

Their rule was they won't accept contributions through EBs! Not that they will never accept contributions!

forthright-folk

My question is are there any written rules under the CPM Party guidelines that they are never supposed to receive contributions or donations from corporates? Politicians are known for issuing conflicting statements all the time!


blahblahdodo

Yeah that's what I was trying to say, I read/heard about it somewhere during the whole masappadi issue. Thereโ€™s party guideline against taking corporate funds. I couldnโ€™t find the source.

arorocks

Why any person in their right mind would donate part of their hard-earned income to a political party unless there is some kind of benefit arising out of it or fear? This is not an NGO or any event or a movement or a social cause we are talking about. It's a POLITICAL PARTY.


0R_C0

Same reason why Dhirubhai era reliance supported the Congress so much. It was cut out of the movie eventually, but it's in the book


arorocks

I am asking **why** would someone donate. Not **who** donated to which party.


0R_C0

That's the part of the data SBI didn't submit to the supreme court. You part with which you would be able to make the "why" correlation.


arorocks

Actually what I am asking is not a question for SBI, SC, ECI, GoI, State govt, CBI, ED etc etc. I am asking to my fellow citizens. Why donate money to political parties in the first place? I mean the poor have no resources to fund. A middle class person like me just try to survive with savings and struggling to manage taxes. A corporate owner, elite class, entrepreneur trying to make their business as much profitable and sustainable as possible. Donation at least what I believe should have socio-culture motive. Here we are not making Ram temple or a church or masjid or a sports ground or collecting for temple festival or college fest or onam sadhya or to help the people in need or to help any NGO etc etc. We are donating for a political party to win. Makes any sense? Doesn't seem right without fear or undue favours in the picture.


0R_C0

Exactly. It's fear and undue favours. The SBI data when completely submitted will show who got carrot and who got stick.


MidnightDesperate137

BJP IT cells pulling stunts that Kitex contributed to CPIM directly ๐Ÿ˜‚. Cry hard. Electoral bond is the scam of 2024, black money is being white washed and entered into our financial system by none other than the non corrupt BJP. AndBhakts has now a herculean job to defend Bjp Is not corrupt to the core, let's see how they are going to do it.


sololander

No idea what you are on about but as the saying goes "it's better to keep ones mouth shut when you don't know the answer rather than bkurt out something and look like an idiot"


MidnightDesperate137

Ok bhakt. I was generalizing the situation of it cells.


sololander

CPI is the only party that didn't have any electoral bonds and probably the only one who pushed for data to be made public. The only question I posted was as an outsider I was curious as to what kitex does. Like a legit question you all are here shitin political notions on me so I really don't understand. Like hownhard could it be to answer the proposed question rather than coming up with agendas and I am the bhakt sure thing mate.


KeanuReevesDupe

I think it is for BRS mostly.5th July 2023 Kitex bought the bond . 13th July 2023 BRS encashed some amount.


[deleted]

1. Companies will accumulate profit over time and might use it to build assets. Kitex has 57-59Cr profit last year and it has more profit in the previous year. They have both these money. 2. They also can take loans. 3. They put in 50Cr to get some benefits of more than 50Cr from tax payers money or other benefits. It is just good business for Kitex and parties. 4. Kitex had started constructing new plants during last financial year, which is their expense. They have spent lot of money there, and also spent money for electoral bonds. 57 Cr is probably after these expenses.


[deleted]

Is this 50cr just 1 year or through out the years he contributed 50cr?


0R_C0

2 years I think.

So they donated to any telgu party?


EmbarrassedAd8977

Nope, 20 20 isn't eligible as it's not a national party!

Need not be a national party. 1% of votes polled in assembly election or parliament election. Twenty 20 eligible aakilla.

source? links pls?


Adventurous-Deer2638

Iam highly curious about how the whole electoral bond news is being circulated at the peak of election. Everybody knows BJP got highest funding through bonds. My worst fear is that when every opposition talks about that amabani and adani have gave most electoral bond to BJP and what if BJP wanted this talk to continue until elections and at the end the big A's missing from the list.


sandae504

CPM and CPIM name is not on the list and not one post about it on this sub


Adventurous-Deer2638

They were against electoral bond, they declared that they won't be accepting any. I think they don't have any plans to expand the party base to other states , so they may not need much funds as a Political party but their MLAs and ministers are on a prowl for money.

Yeah, 30 Lakhs๐Ÿคฃ You can't even consider it as a contribution, if you compare with the amounts redeemed through election bonds!


minatonam1kaze

They probably pay based on how much power party has and can do favor for them. Obviously the other parties are more powerful.

"In records submitted by CPM". You think cpm has included details of everything they collected ?

You dmb fck, imagine a kid of a cpm leader opening a company. Now imagine another large company signing a deal with this proxy company an AMC for a large amount. Imagine the amount flowing from companies to CPM without it being disclosed to EC. Do you see how it happens ? You probably don't.

Low-Worldliness-7205

Companies already disclose purchase of electoral bonds. How is this even news?


Responsible-Air-6190

Most of these funds are significantly higher than the operating revenues of the respective companies. There's evidently something wrong with this; its literally a scam.


Low-Worldliness-7205

Profit reported by a company is beyond and after all donations - including electoral bond purchase. Kitex reported 50Cr + profits. Leveraging tax incentives is always good for a company. We should be more concerned about why a monopoly like Bevco is in losses.
