The State Bank of India (SBI) said on March 21 it has released all information related to the electoral bond scheme, including the unique numbers, to the Election Commission of India (ECI). This follows the Supreme Court’s directive to the SBI to do so earlier this week.
Each electoral bond has a unique number, which connects the purchaser of the bond to the party that encashed it. The names of purchasers and parties involved were already released to the public on March 14, in two separate lists.
Using the unique numbers of each bond, The Hindu has matched the name of the purchaser to the party that encashed it.
