The Election Commission on 17th March released more information on the now-scrapped electoral bonds. This data on electoral bonds was received from political parties and was submitted to the Supreme Court in sealed covers.
According to the Election Commission, this fresh information pertains to the transactions that occurred before April 12, 2019. The data that was released last week was related to the electoral bonds issued after this date.
"The Registry of the Supreme Court has returned physical copies along with a digitised record of the same in a pen drive in sealed cover. The Election Commission of India has today uploaded the data received in digitised form from the registry of the Supreme Court on electoral bonds on its website," the EC said in a statement today.
The EC released the data a day after it announced the dates for the Lok Sabha elections to be held in seven phases from April 19 to June 1.
