Exam Strategy
UPSC tests definitional clarity on capital inflow channels and SEBI's regulatory role through direct questions on FPI/FDI distinctions and ECB norms. Examiners frequently ask about recent FPI policy changes, SEBI circulars, and conditions for these flows. Common errors include confusing FDI with FPI repatriation rules or misidentifying SEBI's jurisdiction over foreign investments.
