India's general assembly elections were held in seven phases from April 11, 2019 to May 19, 2019, to constitute the 17th Lok Sabha (House of People). The data represents the Election Commission of India's seizure report as of May 21, 2019. This highlights the illegal cash, liquor, precious metals, drugs and other items distributed across the country by various political parties to gain vote favors and strictly goes against the code of conduct established by the Election Commission.

One Indian rupee is equal to 0.013 euros and 0.014 U.S. dollars (as of May 2019).
