“Basics of accounting and financial statements, … ratio analysis (debt to equity, debtor days, creditor days, inventory turnover, return on assets, return on equity…)” has been in the RBI Grade B syllabus by name since 2023. Don’t be scared of it.

We analysed previous papers of RBI, SEBI, CA and CFA. 90% of SEBI and RBI questions on ratios are about:

  1. The type of ratio
  2. What it means
  3. How to interpret it
  4. The ideal ratio
  5. Who uses it, and why it matters
  6. Basic numericals

Our free financial ratios notes compile all six for the liquidity ratios. You need no other source, but revise them at least four times.
