Q66 (IAS/2007) Economy › External Sector & Trade › Currency convertibility regimes Answer Verified

Tarapore Committee was associated with which one of the following?

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Tarapore Committee is primarily associated with fuller capital account convertibility (CAC) of the Indian rupee. The committee (initially in 1997 and revisited later) outlined a roadmap, sequencing and macroeconomic preconditions required before moving to full CAC, explicitly recommending measures such as reducing the fiscal deficit to around 3.5% of GDP and lowering public debt as prerequisites for fuller convertibility [1]. The 2006 report is formally titled “Report of the Committee on Fuller Capital Account Convertibility” and provides detailed recommendations on timing, sequencing and regulatory/supervisory issues for implementing fuller CAC in India. Therefore option 2 is the correct choice.
