*Election Commission publishes electoral bond data with matching numbers*
The Election Commission (EC) on Thursday evening made public a fresh data set of electoral bonds, including their alpha-numeric numbers, which enable matching the purchases of these bonds with the political parties that received the funds. The EC posted the details on its website hours after State Bank of India (SBI), through its Chairman Dinesh Kumar Khara, told the Supreme Court that it had submitted the complete details of electoral bonds, including the “unique alpha-numeric” details of bonds, to the election watchdog. The EC posted on its website two separate lists -- of the purchasers of the bonds and the political parties that redeemed these bonds. The purchaser list runs into 386 pages, with details of 18,871 bonds bought between April 12, 2019, and January 11, 2024. The 552-page list of parties that redeemed these bonds pertains the period April 12, 2019, to January 24, 2024. The EC said it had uploaded the data received from the SBI on “as is where is basis”. The affidavit said the complete bank account numbers and KYC details of the political parties and the purchasers of electoral bonds were not being made public because it might compromise the security of the account. However, they are not necessary for identifying the political parties, the filing said. “SBI has now disclosed all details and that no details (other than complete bank account numbers and KYC Details) have been withheld from disclosure,” the affidavit said.
