According to the SBI affidavit, of a total 22,217 electoral bonds purchased by political parties between April 1, 2019, and February 15 this year, 22,030 were redeemed.
The affidavit, however, does not mention whether the unique code on each electoral bond, which could be used to match each donation to the party that received it, is part of the data.
According to earlier reports, political parties mobilised ₹16,518 crore in 30 phases of the electoral bond scheme since it was rolled out. These reports said around 94% of the bonds had a face value of ₹1 crore in most of the 30 phases, indicating that corporates and high-net-worth individuals could have been principal donors.
