{{Politics of India}}
[[India]] has a [[multi-party system]]. The [[Election Commission of India]] (ECI) accords recognition to the national level and the state level political parties based upon objective criteria. A recognised political party enjoys privileges like a reserved party symbol,{{ref label|Symbol|A|A}} free broadcast time on state-run television and radio, consultation in the setting of election dates, and giving input in setting electoral rules and regulations. Other political parties that wish to contest local, state or national elections are required to be registered by the Election Commission of India.<ref name="eci-reg">{{cite web|title=Registration of political Parties|url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main1/RegisterationPoliticalParties.aspx|access-date=21 January 2013|work=FAQs|publisher=[[Election Commission of India]]}}</ref>

Registered Parties are upgraded as recognised National Party or State Party by the ECI if they meet the relevant criteria after a [[Lok Sabha]] or [[State legislative assemblies of India|State legislative assembly]] election. The Recognised Party status is reviewed periodically by the ECI. Before the amendment in 2016 (came into force with effect from 1 January 2014), if a political party failed to fulfill the criteria in the subsequent Lok Sabha or state legislative assembly election, they lost their status as a Recognised Party.<ref name="eci-reg"/> In 2016, the ECI announced that such a review would take place after two consecutive elections instead of every election. Therefore, a political party shall retain the Recognised Party status even if they do not meet the criteria in the next election. However, if they fail to meet the criteria in the subsequent election following the next election, they would lose their status.<ref>{{Cite web|date=22 August 2016|title=Amendment of Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968- revised Para 6C relating to Conditions for continued recognition as a National or State Party.|url=https://eci.gov.in/files/file/4317-amendment-of-election-symbols-reservation-and-allotment-order-1968-revised-para-6c-relating-to-conditions-for-continued-recognition-as-a-national-or-state-party/|url-status=live|website=[[Election Commission of India]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=22 August 2016|title=EC to review status of State and national parties every 10 years|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/national/ec-to-review-status-of-state-and-national-parties-every-10-years/article9018110.ece|url-status=live|access-date=2021-06-20|website=[[Business Line]]}}</ref>
