Sarfaesi act is basically for secured loans+ LLP 
while IBC covers both secured / nonsecured loans ++ Unlimited Liability /Individuals 

ALSO IBC takes precedence over Sarfaesi during insolvency procedure

Did Buddhism believe in transmigration of soul ?

No Buddhism doesn't believe in soul. Actually neither it accepted nor it rejected the theory of soul.

One of the most fundamental doctrines of Buddhism is anatta, or anatman--no soul or no self. Buddhism doesn't believe in transmigration of soul.

How is PLI Scheme is WTO Compliant. Kindly explain
  • WTO rules prohibit discrimination against imported products.
  • Some companies who manufacture IT hardware devices see PLI as not being compliant with the WTO as they have to be treated on par with domestically manufactured products. Some international companies already have domestic production in India and they do not have an issue with PLI.
  • PLI scheme neither links the quantum or the eligibility of subsidy to exports and local value addition, thereby making the scheme WTO compliant.
  • India is offering subsidies to only those companies who commit to making investments, expanding exports, local value addition, and employment creation.

@oldrustyagain29523 yeah you have the values correct, but GCF of 28-29 means 28-29% of GDP and 32-33 would mean 32-33% of GDP. Since India’s GDP is much greater, GCF of India would be higher than GCF of Bangladesh. 
Or am I making a simple error I’m not able to see here

@Dwight_K_Schrute 

PLI is likely to be challenged in WTO. 

But from MCQ point of view, we can say that WTO deters trade distorting subsidies. As long as India doesnt export the Production linked subsidized products and provides national treatment to imports, it is WTO compliant. It is export subsidies and not production subsidies that are prohibited by WTO.

Nope, you are right. I spoke too soon. Seems like vision also did the same error in making question. Good catch.

How is the second statement correct? I thought forest communities had community rights guranteed under FRA 2006.

@oldrustyagain29523 yep they write: taken from World Bank data and directly mention the percent numbers. :)

@oldrustyagain29523 I think its because of ‘fringe’ communities. As per the FRA, rights are given to forest dwelling STs and other traditional forest dwellers.
