Last week, the Election Commission of India (ECI) put up the list of donors who purchased electoral bonds and the political parties that encashed them. On Monday, the Supreme Court asked the State Bank of India to make a “complete disclosure” of electoral bonds data including their unique hidden serial numbers by Thursday. While the numbers that link the purchasers and the donors are awaited, the following tables take a look at the share of bonds purchased and encashed across various dates, for which information is currently available in the public domain.

The table looks at the companies/individuals with the highest share in total electoral bonds purchased between April 12, 2019 and May 10, 2019 coinciding with the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. It also looks at the parties that got the highest share of the electoral bonds encashed between April 12, 2019 and May 22, 2019.
