Parsis are not the only community with problems regarding an equitable income for priests. Some imams (leaders of prayers in mosques) in Bombay are planning to approach the Bombay High Court with pleas to act against trustees of mosques. At a meeting called at the Islam Gymkhana on Marine Drive by a nongovernmental organization Social Education and Welfare Association (SEWA), attended by several imams, muezzins (criers who call for daily prayers) and community leaders, demands 
were voiced for increase in remuneration to imams, reported The Times of India (ToI) dated February 26, 2019. In most mosques, imams reportedly are paid less than Rs 10,000 monthly, noted the news report. Maulana Khalilur Rahman Noorie, president of the imam organization Tanzeem Imae Masajid was quoted in the ToI report that they may petition the High Court to direct the state wakf board and charity commissioner to "fix a respectable amount” as their salary. Complaining that trustees of most mosques keep imams poorly paid and vulnerable, Noorie said that "they are hired and fired at the will of the trustees.” SEWA president advocate Yusuf Abrahni told the newspaper that "many mosques have increased… salaries. But a lot more needs to be done.”
Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and the state wakf board Hussain Dalwai suggested that imams and muezzins should "stop work” to force mosque trustees to meet their demands.
