The document discusses the convertibility of the Indian rupee. It begins by stating that the Indian rupee is a partially convertible currency, meaning exchange of higher amounts is restricted and requires approval. It then defines currency convertibility and explains that India has moved towards greater convertibility over time. Currently, the rupee has partial convertibility on the capital account. While full convertibility poses some risks, India is slowly working to meet preconditions like fiscal consolidation and resilient markets. The document outlines India's path towards convertibility since the 1990s crisis and liberalization, including the recommendations of committees to further open the capital account.

Balance of Payment Disequilibrium and CausesNeema Gladys
1.Balance of Payment
The balance of payment of a country is a systematic accounting record of all economic transactions during a given period of time between the residents of the country and residents of foreign countries.
2.Componets of BOP
Current Account
It includes imports and exports of goods and services and unilateral transfer of goods and services.
Capital Account
Under this are grouped transactions leading to changes in foreign assets and liabilities of the country.
3. Accounting Treatment of Items (Debit and Credit Items)
Any item which gives rise to a sale of foreign exchange (an inflow) is recorded as a credit item (+) in the accounts e.g. export of goods and services
Any item which gives rise to the purchase of foreign exchange (an outflow) is recorded as a debit item (-) in the accounts e.g imports of goods and services.
4. BOP Disequilibrium
BOP is a double entry accounting record, then apart from errors and omissions, it must always balance.
The BOP deficit or surplus indicate imbalance in the BOP.
This imbalance is interpreted as BOP Disequilibrium.
A country’s balance of payments is said to be in disequilibrium when its autonomous receipts (credits) are not equal to its autonomous payments (debits).
5.BOP Deficit
A deficit or an unfavorable balance exists when the value of autonomous debit items exceeds the value of autonomous credit items.
6. BOP Surplus
A surplus or a favourable balance exists when the value of autonomous credit items exceeds the value of autonomous debit items.
Pegged Exchange Rates are exchange rates that are set by way of “pegging” of one’s currency with another country’s currency or some other valuable measure, such as gold.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Is INR fully convertible?
• Indian rupee is a partially convertible currency.
• Although there is a lot of freedom to exchange
local and foreign currency at market rates, the
Indian rupee is a partially convertible currency,
meaning the exchange of higher amounts is
restricted and still needs approval.
CA DR Prithvi Ranjan Parhi 3
4. Convertibility of a currency
• Currency convertibility is the ease with which a country's
currency can be converted into gold or another currency.
Convertibility is extremely important for international
commerce.
• When a currency is inconvertible, it poses a risk and barrier to
trade with foreigners who have no need for the domestic
currency.
• Government restrictions can often result in a currency with a
low convertibility.
• For example, a government with low reserves of hard foreign
currency often restrict currency convertibility because the
government would not be in a position to intervene in the
foreign exchange market (i.e. revalue, devalue) to support their
own currency if and when necessary.

CA DR Prithvi Ranjan Parhi
5. Convertibility of Rupee
• Currency convertibility is of two types:
1.Current Account Convertibility
2.Capital Account Convertibility
• Current account convertibility allows free inflows
and outflows for all purposes other than for capital
purposes.
• Capital purpose means dealing the investments in
foreign currency and obtaining loans in foreign
currency, acquiring any plant and machinery from
abroad by making payments in foreign exchange.
5
CA DR Prithvi Ranjan Parhi
6. Convertibility of Rupee(Indian Experience)
• After the BoP crisis of 1990-91 and change in the central Government, the
Liberalised Exchange Rate Management System (LERMS) was
introduced as a first measure towards making foreign exchange a free
commodity.
• Thus, when LERMs was introduced, there were two exchange rates in India:
Official Rate for select items of exports and imports Market Rate for all
others.
• The Government said that now onwards, anyone who deals in current
account means international trade of goods and services will be able to
convert them to Indian Rupees as follows: 40 % of the receipts at Official
rate 60% of the receipts at Market Rate.
• This means that only part of the current account receipts were made
convertible at market rates and that is why it was called Partial
Convertibility of Rupee on Current Account.
6
CA DR Prithvi Ranjan Parhi
7. Convertibility of Rupee(Indian Experience)
• Encouraged with the success of the LERMS, the
government introduced the full convertibility of
Rupee in Trade account (means only
merchandise trade no service trade)from March
1993 onwards.
• With this the dual exchange rate system got
automatically abolished and LERMS was now
based upon the open market exchange.
7
CA DR Prithvi Ranjan Parhi
8. Convertibility of Rupee(Indian Experience)
• In August 1994, the Government of India declared full
convertibility of Rupee on Current account .(Trade and
invisibles).
• Capital account convertibility (CAC) or a floating exchange rate
means the freedom to convert local financial assets into
foreign financial assets and vice versa at market determined
rates of exchange.
• The Committee on Capital Account Convertibility (CAC) or
Tarapore Committee was constituted by the Reserve Bank of
India for suggesting a roadmap on full convertibility of Rupee
on Capital Account.
• The committee submitted its report in May 1997.
8
CA DR Prithvi Ranjan Parhi
9. Convertibility of Rupee (Indian Experience)
• However, some partial convertibility of Rupee on Capital
Account was introduced later. Today we have Partial
convertibility of Rupee on Capital Account.
• Reserve Bank of India appointed the second Tarapore
committee to set out the framework for fuller Capital
Account Convertibility.
• The report of this committee was made public by RBI on 1st
September 2006.
• In this report, the committee suggested 3 phases of adopting
the full convertibility of rupee in capital account.
– First Phase in 2006-7
– Second phase in 2007-09
– Third Phase by 2011.

CA DR Prithvi Ranjan Parhi
10. Convertibility of Rupee(Indian Experience)
Following were some important recommendations of this
committee:
• The ceiling for External Commercial Borrowings (ECB)
should be raised for automatic approval.
• NRI should be allowed to invest in capital markets NRI
deposits should be given tax benefits.
• Improvement of the Banking regulation.
• FII (Foreign Institutional Investors) should be prohibited
from investing fresh money raised to participatory notes.
• Existing PN holders should be given an exit route to
phase out completely the PN notes.
10
CA DR Prithvi Ranjan Parhi
11. Are We moving towards fuller capital
account convertibility?
• Though there are certain risks associated with full
capital account convertibility, we cannot avoid it for
longer period as it may become counter-productive.
• But how early are we moving to full capital account
convertibility depend on various pre-conditions like low
and sustained current account deficit, fiscal-
consolidation, controlled inflation, low level of NPAs,
resilient financial markets, prudent supervision of
financial institutions etc.
• Already India is making progress on these fronts.
• Today we have Partial convertibility of Rupee on Capital
Account and slowly moving towards fuller capital
account convertibility.
