How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • The Export Credit Guarantee Corporation of India functions under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
  • ECGC insures Indian exporters against the risk of non-payment by overseas buyers.
  • The RELIEF scheme provides 95% risk cover under eligible ECGC policies and now runs until March 2027.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS3 (Economy: external sector). Geopolitical shocks such as the West Asia crisis raise payment, shipping and buyer-default risks for exporters; extending RELIEF with 95% ECGC-backed cover cushions them and protects export competitiveness. Way forward: simplify claim documentation, speed up settlement and diversify export markets to reduce exposure to a single region.
