Dear UPSC aspirants, 
Kindly note a correction in the notes with reference to Alternative Investment Fund - 'While no scheme of the Alternative Investment Fund shall have more than one thousand investors, for Angel fund the number of angel investors shall not be more than 'two hundred'. In the video and in the pdf notes, it is mentioned as 49, which was the case till 4th of January 2017. The number 49 for Angel Fund has been raised to 200 by the SEBI (Alternative Investment Funds) (Amendment) Regulations, 2016, w.e.f. 04-01-2017. We sincerely thank Shri. Tanmay for highlighting the error. 

Target - UPSC Prelims 2020 - Current Affairs series  will consist of about 500-600 Current Affairs topics sourced from the Hindu, the Business Standard, various Government sources like PIB, NITI Aayog, Ministry websites, etc.
