    B)  it will attract more foreign capital inflow in India

    C)  it will help promotion of exports

    D)  it will help India secure loans from the world financial markets on attractive terms

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Convertibility refers to the freedom of the holder of a currency to freely convert it into any other foreign convency. The current account convertibility is largely restricted to exports and imports, though certain associated aspects are also permitted under it like remittances (what Indians living abroad send to their friends and relatives in India). Convertibility for investment and borrowing abroad comes under capital account convertibility.
