The Election Commission of India has disclosed the details of electoral bonds, showing that the BJP is at the forefront of the list of recipients. The most substantial contribution came from a relatively obscure company, Future Gaming.

The revelation of substantial political contributions predominantly supporting the BJP has sparked discussions about the importance of transparency, equity, and integrity in the political arena.

On March 14, the ECI released information on political donations amounting to crores, highlighting the significant monetary lead of the BJP, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

In a sworn statement to the Supreme Court, the State Bank of India (SBI) reported that donors acquired a total of 22,217 electoral bonds with various values from April 1, 2019, to February 15, 2024. Of these, 22,030 bonds, totaling Rs.12,769.40 crore, were cashed in by political parties. As the principal bank responsible for managing the electoral bond scheme, SBI was directed by the judiciary to provide the electoral bond details to the Election Commission of India (ECI) by March 12 to avoid potential contempt of court.

Following this, the Supreme Court allotted the ECI until 5 pm on March 15 to make the data public on its official website. The information disclosed by the ECI, which spans hundreds of pages, was divided into two sections on its website: one specifying the purchasers and the other the recipient political parties. This disclosure, titled "Disclosure of Electoral Bonds Submitted by SBI," was made available one day prior to the deadline set by the court.
