Current account convertibility - effect on Forex

Sir, did full current account convertibility helped increase/decrease the foreign exchanges reserves of India? Our forex reserves increased tremendously, but what is the role of full current account convertibility in it?
Interesting question!!
The forex reserves have been mostly from the FIIs.
And remittances, which kept on increasing.
So, one can say that, it did improve on the remittances.
But then, with the falling rupee and less investment proposals across the globe, increase in remittances is hardly a surprise!
So, we can say that, CrA may have done less good, but no harm!!
CrA is the precursor to CA convertibility!
Ok Sir. If at all CrA played a role, what/how could it be? Increase in confidence of investors/migrants?
CrA is a limited factor.

Only for migrants. Investors will look for CA convertibility.
