12 November 2013 not related. The Rs 25 provision is provided for practical considerations as accounting for small transactions such as Rs 1 or Rs 2 adds to unnecessary burden. As well the ITO shall find it of no use to verify such small transactions which could large in numbers though. So its more of a materiality concern.

With regards to Political parties, its all black!!! whatever change you make in the regulations it wont help. Though the principal of Rs 20000 is again for materiality concern. But has been blatantly used by these parties for channelizing black money for elections and other illegal activities.
