The Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) in the Ministry of Finance is also involved in broader economic policies, but the specific handling of FDI applications under the government route is managed by DPIIT. The name &#8216;Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion&#8217; (DIPP) was used before the renaming to DPIIT; in the context of a question likely referencing the structure before the rename, DIPP is the correct choice. Assuming the question reflects the older terminology, DIPP (Option D) is correct. If it were updated terminology, the option would likely be DPIIT. Given the option, DIPP is the intended answer.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Non-Resident Indian wants to get approval under Government route for FDI in &#8216;Single Brand&#8217; product retailing in India.
