  1. Balance of Trade = Export of goods - Imports of goods
= 550 - 800 = (-) ₹ 250 crores.
  1. BoP on Current Account = BoT + Export of services - Import of services + Unilateral transfers from R.O.W. - unilateral transfers to R.O.W.
= -250 + 150 - 50 + 100 - 80
= (-) ₹ 130 crores
  1. BoP on Capital Account = Capital Receipts - Capital Payments
​​​​​​​= 200 - 70
= ₹ 130 crores
  1. Balance of Payment = Balance of Payments on Current account + BoP on Capital Account
​​​​​​​= (-) ₹ 130 + ₹ 130
= 0
