Correct Answer: 1951


Solution : The correct answer is (a) 1951.

The Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA) was introduced in 1951 as a law governing foreign exchange transactions and regulations in India. The purpose of FERA was to regulate and control foreign exchange transactions, preserve foreign exchange reserves, and prevent unauthorized transactions that could potentially impact India's economic stability.

Under FERA, stringent regulations were imposed on foreign exchange transactions, including restrictions on currency conversion, foreign investments, and the movement of foreign currency. The act aimed to monitor and regulate foreign exchange dealings, particularly in relation to external trade, payments, and transfers.
