How do we know Election Commission of India is officially committed to free and fair, transparent and accountable elections?

Well because many official documents on their website say so!

1. ECI has prepared 2016-2025 Strategic Plan Book. It's Mission Statement as well as Guiding Principles have a clear emphasis on these principles! Both are present on marked page number 8, which is raw page 22 of the pdf 1

   Mission Statement of ECI in the Strategic Plan Book:

   "The Election Commission of India maintains independence, integrity and autonomy; ensures accessibility, inclusiveness, and ethical participation of stakeholders; and, adopts highest standards of professionalism for delivering free, fair, and transparent elections to strengthen the trust in electoral democracy and governance"
   

   Principle 2 of Guiding Principles in the Strategic Plan Book:

   "To conduct elections with highest standard of credibility, freeness, fairness, transparency, integrity, accountability, autonomy and professionalism"
   
2. A press note as recent as 19th October, 2016 highlights our Election Commissioner emphasizing these principles at ECI International conference on Voter Education.2
   "Shri O. P. Rawat, Election Commissioner of India emphasized on the need of having stringent mechanism to ensure free, fair, transparent & accountable election"
   

Perhaps we can find many more such documents on ECI website but these are enough to conclude that ECI is comminited to the principles of free and fair, accountable, transparent elections.
