D
The explanation as was provided by Yoyo sir a while back on this thread was that the Chief secretary is chosen and appointed by the Chief Minister and there is no fixed tenure.

FIIs have been permitted to invest in unlisted securities.

But the FPI regulations say that FPIs are allowed to invest only in listed or to-be-listed entities. 

Isn't this contradiction ?


Why this question when FII has been done away with?

You are correct FPI's are not allowed to invest in unlisted companies; anyone looking for clarification:

Hi can someone please clear a simple doubt of mine? How is rise in MSP related to inflation?

MSP is the minimum support price. So usually farmers keep that in mind while selling their crops. Consider 2 scenarios:

1. Suppose in one year,  MSP is 1500 rupees/kg.. then farmers will try to sell it over and above this price threshold, maybe at 1600 rupees.

2. Next year MSP is increased to 1600 rupees/kg, then farmers will obviously not sell it at the price that they sold last year.. This year they might sell it at 1700 rupees. 

And the cycle goes on..

So you see, this is how price of the commodity is increasing every year (if all other factors are constant).  Hence, we correlate MSP with Inflation.. 

P.S: I am not so good at explaining things, I hope this layman approach of mine makes some sense.
