How toppers play this section
Two genuinely different halves stapled into one paper. Part A's five statutes (FEMA, Competition Act, FTP, PMLA, Benami law) each turn on a handful of numeric thresholds and a named institutional process — attach the number to the statute, not to a vague memory. Part B's four IP statutes are this hub's only intellectual-property content and reward knowing each right's term of protection precisely (patents 20 years, trademarks a renewable 10 years, copyright life-plus-60, designs 10-plus-5) since the four are easy to mix up under exam pressure.
