In short
The Congress party’s donations above Rs 20,000 dropped by 75% in FY26 to Rs 130.69 crore, down from Rs 517.39 crore the year before.
The fall was mainly tied to less money coming from the Prudent Electoral Trust. It is the sharpest decline in a decade.

The Congress party’s donations above Rs 20,000 fell 75% to Rs 130.69 crore in FY26, compared with Rs 517.39 crore a year earlier. The decline follows two years of steady growth and was mainly linked to lower contributions from the Prudent Electoral Trust. The sharp drop marks the steepest fall in a decade.
Why it matters
