DIFFERANCE BETWEEN ASSET RECONSTRUCTON COMPANY AND BAD BANKS?

Asset Reconstruction would just tend to take find potential buyers of the strained assets . It does not take over the control of the entire assets rather just facilitate the purchase.( in layman term you can equate them to real estate broker facilitating land sale/purchase). THE ARC take these Assets on discount and then resell. they do not take direct upfront NPA's. 


BAD banks will just take over the entire NPA of PSB,s . Effect will be that PSB will recover entire amount upfront. While the Bad bank will suffer the loss of the NPA,s. Burden of NPA gets transferred to bad bank. 


Hope this helps.

It doesn't matter which one you do.. Just read and revise as many times as you can.  ForumIAs epic magazine is Relatively new and hence you would not hear toppers suggesting it.. 

I have been reading Forum Ias magazine for almost a year now, right from its first edition.. I personally find it much better.. 

All magazines are decent, pick one and stick to it.. If you switch from one magazine to another, it will just mess up your mind.  

If you are starting afreash, maybe you can read one or two article from these two magazines and see which one you like better..

Regarding PT365 Environmemt Module: 

The source mentions the last sighting of Himalayan Quail in 2010, while most internet sources date it back to 1870's (including WWF )

I'm skeptical of VisionIAS module's 2010 claim since there were other mistakes in the module 

(Like they said Chairman of NBWL is the Environment Minister!)

Which one is the correct date?

@Rj_KhanThere are many other mistakes in Env module. Largest solar plant is in Bhadla and not Jaisalmer as claimed in PT. There are others too. I had noted them down somewhere, can't recall now.
