In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the party shared an image highlighting her income and pension amounts, questioning how her pension could exceed her declared salary.
The Congress’ post has fueled a fresh wave of scrutiny on SEBI’s leadership at a time when the regulatory body is dealing with significant financial and legal issues. The post did not provide further details or evidence, but the party’s inquiry has sparked discussions about transparency and accountability at the highest levels of India’s financial regulatory institutions.
Madhabi Puri Buch, who has been at the helm of SEBI since 2022, has yet to respond to the Congress’ allegations. The Congress Party, meanwhile, continues to push for answers on the matter, amplifying its criticism of the SEBI chief through social media.
As this controversy unfolds, it adds to the ongoing political discourse around governance and oversight of public institutions in India.
