Supreme Court to Hear Mahua Moitra's Plea on Fund Transparency
Imagine you want to know who really owns and controls certain investment funds.
Mahua Moitra, a politician, wants this information to be public.
She went to the Supreme Court asking that the owners and portfolios of certain funds be revealed so everyone can see.
The court asked her to talk to SEBI, which regulates these funds.
SEBI responded but Moitra disagrees with the response and will now argue her case in court on October 9th, hoping for more transparency in how these funds operate.
The government and SEBI has already given a response but Moitra isn't satisfied and believes more transparency is needed.
