Around Rs 6,000 crore worth of electoral bonds were sold in the Financial Year 2018-19. Annual audit reports filed by national and state political parties to the Election Commission of India (EC) studied by The Quint suggest that over Rs 4,500 crore worth of electoral bonds went to the ruling Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP).

The BJP is yet to file the annual audit report with the EC. Top sources in the Congress claim that their party has received Rs 550 crore in electoral bonds and has already submitted the report, but the EC has not yet made it public on their website for reasons not known. The last date to submit the annual audit report to EC was 31 October.
