I know investors are having good sentiments by this circular but Counter arguments are
1. The Key Managerial Financial person may have different personal financial goal than that of Investor.
2. Performance or any wrong doing, there are different checks and ways SEBI is authorized to do.
3. If this is not challenged, tomorrow regulatory body like
A) RBI may tell all key employees of the bank's 20% salary must go to FD/Other scheme etc
B) IRDA can tell key employees has to take insurance they are managing (20% of their salary)
C) FSSAI can tell key employees has to buy foods from the employer at least 20% of their salary!
Will it not create chaos? All regulatory body can give Examples, SEBI is doing so we can also do for the best interest of customer in the court ?
4. Right of Liberty - When person working from mutual fund and earns his salary, it is his right how he wants to spend and can't be enforced by such law
Apart from Law there are side effects in attracting talents - Say for Example Head HR got same salary offer one from Mutual fund industry and one from other industry, He will choose Other industry. It will in turn not to have Best HR, and It may result in not have employees moral to work for MF industry.
