    WHAT WILL FULL CAC DO?


    No restriction for foreigners seeking to buy Indian assets and vice versa. CAC is desirable because of
    Reduction in cost of capital Diversify portfolios internationally Induces competition against Indian finance Reduce size of black economy

    Pre-requisites for Capital Account Convertibility in India:


    the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recommended methods of converting the Indian Rupee completely. The report submitted by this Committee in the year 1997 proposed a three-year time period (1999-2000) for total conversion of Rupee. However few conditions should be satisfied:
    The average rate of inflation should vary between 3% to 5% during the debt-servicing time. Decreasing the gross fiscal deficit to the GDP ratio by 3.5% in 19992000How is CAC different from current account convertibility? Fully dereguleted interest rate structure. Reduction of non-performing assets.

    Indian Scenario
    Tarapore committee appointment. How open is India's capital account today? What will CAC mean for Indian households and companies?

    Reasons for the introduction of CAC in India


    To ensure total financial mobility in the country. Helps in the efficient appropriation or distribution of international capital in India. Such allocation of foreign funds in the country helps in equalizing the capital return rates not only across different borders, but also escalates the production levels. Moreover, it brings about a fair allocation of the income level in India as well.

    Current Restrictions on Capital Account in India


    Limits to Indian companies borrowing abroad Restrictions on foreigners investing in India Restrictions on amount that an FII can hold Purchasing a company is allowed but limits exist on the amount that can be sent.

    Benefits of CAC
    Increased diversification Lower cost of capital Reduce black economy Higher competition for Indian finance

    Dangers of CAC to Indian Economy Huge Inflow and Extreme Outflow Misallocation of Capital Inflows Export of domestic savings Creation of an unequal playing field
