It is noteworthy that on February 15, a constitutional bench of five judges had banned the Centre's electoral bond scheme, terming it unconstitutional. The court has ordered SBI Bank, the only financial institution of the electoral bond scheme, to provide complete information about the purchase of electoral bonds from April 12, 2019 till date, by March 6.
Let us tell you that the Supreme Court had recently heard the petition of State Bank of India, in which SBI Bank had demanded to extend the limit for sharing information related to electoral bonds till June 30. During the hearing, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said that SBI is saying that the information of donors and political parties is kept in sealed envelopes in the main branch of SBI in Mumbai. The matching process will take time, but we haven't asked you to match. We had only asked for clear disclosure.
