ok if a question asks if the purpose of FAR is to encourage long term investments in Indian debt market , would it be false ?


No, it will not be wrong because Fully accessible route will encourage long term investment from  NRIs .. 
Whereas the Voluntary retention route is to encourage long term investment from  FOREIGN PORTFOLIO INVESTORS. 

If I am not wrong this is the main differance between the two.

NRI = Non-Residents of India or say Non-Resident Investors. I know it was shitty to call them NRI (Non-Resident Indians) and create the confusion.
The major diff b/w VRR and FAR is while the former is the entire debt market of India, the latter is just investment in G-secs (not corporate or any other bonds.)

This is because of the notes of coaching walas! Some used NRI, which lead to everyone using NRI's.

Consider the following regarding the Stratospheric ozone depletion:

1. Levels of UV-B radiation caused by ozone depletion are higher in the tropics than at polar latitudes.

2. Ozone depletion can lead to reduction in phytoplankton production.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

a 

1 only

b 

2 only

c 

Both 1 and 2

d 

Neither 1 nor 2


Why UV - B is higher in tropics when the ozone hole is over the pole?

@Shailputribecause tropical region gets more direct sunlight, whereas poles gets slanted sun light. Hence more sunlight means more UV rays too. Also there's no sunlight on poles for 6 months so naturally UV will be lower there.

Ok. Then (by the same logic as you said) why UV-B is higher at higher altitudes as compared to sea levels?

@Shailputri The closer you are to sun, the higher UV you'll get. Higher altitudes receive more sunlight than lower areas. This is also the reason why solar panels placed at higher positions from ground, so that the receive more "insolation" as compared to putting them on ground.

by this there should be more on poles

@THE_MECHANIC between tropics and pole, incoming UV is more on tropics (reason explained above). Within either tropics or poles, areas of higher altitude will have more incoming UV as compared to lower areas.

bhai vo to theek h pr isme ese bola h na ki jada clouds jaha honge vaha km UV hogi pr poles pr to equator se km clouds h

@THE_MECHANIC bhai clouds ka sawal tb aayega na jb sunlight aayegi. 6 mahine sunlight nhi rhegi plus baaki time slanted aayegi toh cloud ho ya naa ho, kya frk pdega ? Equator pr hi zyada UV giregi kyuki direct sunlight aati hai waha throughout year.

 subtropics par max insolation hota i think kyuki equator toh cloudy rhta tbhi sutropics relatively hot hote and deserts are also prevalent in these regions

Gross FPI Inflow is total FPI received.

But investor may also pull some of their money out.

So, Net FPI Inflow = Gross FPI Inflow - FPI Outflow.


What we are seeing is volatile investment in equities. Investors pouring huge money in equities, but for short term. So, volume of inflow (Gross FPI) is high. But they are also making exits, so Net FPI is down.

In FDI, volume is not as high as FPI (So Gross FPI high than Gross FDI), but the volatility is low i.e. investors are not making frequent exits. So, Net FDI is still high compared to Net FPI which is seeing high outflows.
