Supreme Court had given the order
The Supreme Court had rejected SBI’s argument regarding electoral bonds, in which the bank had sought time for this. On behalf of SBI, senior advocate Harish Salve told the court that after the order of the Supreme Court, SBI has banned the issuance of new electoral bonds, but the problem is that with the electoral bonds that have been issued, the entire process will have to be reversed. And it will take time. However, the top court had refused to accept the argument of SBI and ordered to give complete information to the Election Commission by Tuesday itself.
