The development comes after the Supreme Court, on November 2, directed the ECI to produce an "up to date" data of funds received by political parties through electoral bonds till September 30, 2023.

In a letter addressed to heads of all political parties on November 3, the ECI has sought the detailed particulars of donors against each bond, the amount of each bond, and the full particulars of the credit received against each bond.
