    B 2 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither 1 nor 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The IFSCA Act, 2019 was enacted by the Parliament to provide for the establishment of an authority to regulate financial services in the International Financial Services Centres (IFSCs) in India. The IFSCs are envisaged as international hubs for financial services, catering to customers outside the jurisdiction of the domestic economy. However, the IFSCA Act does not provide for the establishment of a unified financial regulatory authority that oversees all financial services in India. Instead, it establishes the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) as a regulatory authority for IFSCs, with the power to regulate and develop the financial services market in IFSCs. Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect.
