Capital account convertibility means the freedom to convert rupee into any foreign currency and foreign currency back into rupee for capital account transactions.
India has not yet opened up its capital account fully which will allow free flow of capital to the country and outside. The rupee was made full float in the trade account during the 1991 reforms initiated by the then government.
The Tarapore committee had listed several preconditions such as fiscal consolidation, inflation control, low level of non-performing assets, low current account deficit and strengthening of financial markets for achieving capital account liberalisation.
The RBI working group, headed by RBI Executive Director Radha Shyam Ratho, had recently recommended a slew of short to long term measures to accelerate the pace of internationalisation of the rupee.
