FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAPITAL MARKETS
CA FINAL - PAPER 6B - FINANCIAL SERVICES AND CAPITAL MARKETS
The objective of the Elective Paper 6B – Financial Services and Capital Markets in the CA Final course is to enable the
students to gain knowledge of financial services rendered by intermediaries and banks and their role and activities in the
financial market in general and the capital market in particular. The purpose is also to help the students in acquiring such
knowledge to address issues in practical scenarios.
In this respect, an attempt has been made to acquaint the students about Global Financial Markets, Capital Market –
both Primary and Secondary, and Money Market in a pictorial form to help them to have a quick revision of the chapters.
Furthermore, students may please note that this capsule should not be considered a substitute for the study material.
Therefore, students are advised to refer to the November 2020 edition of the study material for Part A and July 2021
