Sale of Electoral Bonds under the Electoral Bond Scheme, 2018 - Scheme allows the donors of political parties to maintain anonymity - Though the information furnished by the buyer shall be treated confidential by the authorised bank and shall not be disclosed to any authority for any purposes, it is subject to one exception namely when demanded by a competent court or upon registration of criminal case by any law enforcement agency. A nonKYC compliant application or an application not meeting the requirements of the scheme shall be rejected. - The apprehension that foreign corporate houses may buy the bonds and attempt to influence the electoral process in the country, is also misconceived. - SC
