The Supreme Court stated that the details given by the SBI were incomplete and ordered the bank not to suppress any details about the electoral bonds.

The court asked the bank to disclose each and every detail of the electoral bond system for the last five years.

Meanwhile, SBI’s lawyer Harish Salve stated that the data provided by the SBI didn’t link the donors with recipients because the purchase and redemption details of electoral bonds will be stored in two separate files as the bank was under the mandate to maintain anonymity.
