{{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,{{Efn|If a party is recognised as a national or state party, its symbol is reserved for its exclusive use in the country or in the state.<ref name="ECI12032014">{{cite web|date=12 March 2014|title=Names of National State, registered-unrecognised parties and the list of free symbols|url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/ElectoralLaws/OrdersNotifications/year2014/EnglishNotification_12032014.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150522211954/http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/Electoral|archive-date=22 May 2015|access-date=8 May 2015|publisher=[[Election Commission of India]]|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="ECI16092014">{{cite web|date=13 December 2016|title=State Party List|url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/ElectoralLaws/OrdersNotifications/year2016/Notification13.12.2016.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170214233038/http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/ElectoralLaws/OrdersNotifications/year2016/Notification13.12.2016.pdf|archive-date=14 February 2017|publisher=[[Election Commission of India]]}}</ref>}} 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. 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. 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.

As per latest publication dated 23 September 2021 from Election Commission of India, the total number of parties registered was 2858, with 8 national parties, 54 state parties and 2796 unrecognised parties.<ref name="ECI23092021">{{cite web|date=23 September 2021|title=List of Political Parties & Symbol MAIN Notification|url=https://eci.gov.in/files/file/13711-list-of-political-parties-symbol-main-notification-dated23092021/|publisher=[[Election Commission of India]]}}</ref> All registered parties contesting elections need to choose a symbol from a list of available symbols offered by the EC.
