SBI can't be selective, has to disclose electoral bond numbers: SC

Nen Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday said the State Bank of India (SBI) can't be selective and has to disclose all "conceivable" electoral bond details in its possession, including unique bond numbers that would disclose the link between the buyer and the recipient political party.

A five-judge bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud said the apex court had, in its verdict in the electoral bonds case, asked the bank to disclose all the details of the bonds and it should not wait for further orders on this aspect.
