ECI releases Electoral Bonds Data
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has released data on electoral bonds following directives from the Supreme Court of India. This initiative aims to enhance transparency in political funding by disclosing details of electoral bonds purchased and redeemed between April 12, 2019, and February 15, 2024. The data, which includes information such as the date of purchase, denomination, name of the buyer, and details of each electoral bond redeemed by political parties, was provided by the State Bank of India (SBI) and uploaded to the ECI’s website. This move comes after the Supreme Court invalidated the Electoral Bonds Scheme, initially introduced in 2017 to allow anonymous donations to political parties.
