Choose the correct statement regarding components of Balance of Payment.
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
Transfer payments (gifts, remittances, grants) are receipts that residents get for free, without providing any good or service in return, so option 3 is correct. Trade in services covers factor and non-factor income but not equity capital transactions; purchase of foreign assets is a debit on the capital account; and sale of an Indian company's shares to a foreigner is a credit on the capital account.
