Reading Comprehension Passage: 73 | 100 RC`s for Government Exams Preparation - Bank Exams PDF Download

Refer to:
ODI policy was expected to tighten regulations to prevent round-tripping structures, where funds are routed by India-based companies into a newly formed or existing overseas subsidiary and then brought back to India to circumvent regulations here. They said the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Finance Ministry (tax department) were concerned about such structures.
With the above highlighted text it is clear that the round-tripping i.e deceitful to and fro of the funds by the Indian companies is the point of concern for RBI and Finance ministry.
It includes not just the outflow but also the inflow of funds in order to deceit the authorities. This makes option D incorrect.
Rest of the options are nowhere in the context of the passage.
Hence option B is correct.

Refer to:
As per Finance Ministry data, India’s ODI rose 56.1% year-on-year from $6.8 billion in 2014-15 to $10.6 billion in 2015-16, and further up by 39.37% to $14.8 billion in 2016-17.
It is clear that the concerned dynamics were given by Finance Ministry and not by IBEF. Thus statement I is not true.
The government will review existing guidelines and processes and bring out a coherent and integrated ODI policy.”
It is clear from the underlined text that the government will review existing guidelines of ODI policy. Thus statement II is false.
The proposed Outward Direct Investment (ODI) policy may contain provisions to make it easy for many Indian firms, envisioning ambitious plans to transform themselves into multi-national companies (MNC), to go global and expand.
It is clear that the proposed policy may have such transforming effect and not the current policy.
Thus statement III is also false.
Since none of the statements is true.
Hence option E is correct.

Refer to:
With rising M&A activity, companies will get direct access to newer and more extensive markets, and better technologies, which would enable them to increase their customer base and achieve a global reach.
With the above highlighted text, it is clear that exposure to new markets is a reason for rise in customer base. Thus statement II is true.
However, statement I is not even mentioned in the passage, thus this can’t be constituted as a reason to higher customer base.
Whereas statement III talks about higher brand value which may indirectly raise customer base, but is not mentioned in the passage. Thus will not be considered true.
Since statement II is true only.
Hence option C is correct.

Refer to:
Currently, the jurisdiction over ODI is mainly with the RBI, and the concerned law here is the Foreign Exchange Management Act.
Thus statement I is not true.
Top ten ODI destination countries in FY’15, FY’16 and FY’17 included Mauritius, Singapore, the U.S., the UAE, the Netherlands, the U.K, Switzerland, Russia, Jersey and British Virgin Islands.
Thus statement II is untrue.
.. policy measures by way of removing hindrances and providing broad support (such as financial and technological), especially to firms with small foreign investment intensities (small overseas investment positions) can help improve firms’ competitiveness, export earnings and sales. It added, “This support can also be targeted towards export firms particularly if they are planning for technology-seeking ODI.
Thus statement III is not true.
Hence option D is correct.

“Money laundering” is not directly quoted in the passage, rather one of its phenomena is used at a point where Round-tripping of funds is mentioned. Thus it can’t be a suitable title.
“Avenues of ODIs” are mentioned in the last paragraph only. Thus it’s not an appropriate choice.
“Regulators of Outward Direct Investment” is the least talked topic. Thus there is no point of option E being a suitable title.
Between options A and C, Option A is the most appropriate choice as it covers both the negatives and positives about ODI as mentioned in the passage.
Option C though mentioned in most of the parts of the passage but it covers only one aspect i.e. internationalization out of the various talked like- ODI avenues, cons of ODI etc. in the passage. This makes it inappropriate choice.
Hence option A is correct.
