Let f be a C^1 map between two Banach spaces E and F. It has been proved that the concept of generalized regular points of f, which is a generalization of the notion of regular points of f, has some crucial applications in nonlinearity and global analysis. We characterize the generalized regular points of f using the three integer-valued （or infinite） indices M（x0）, Mc（x0） and Mr（x0） at x0 ∈ E generated by f and by analyzing generalized inverses of bounded linear operators on Banach spaces, that is, iff ＇（x0） has a generalized inverse in the Banach space B（E, F） of all bounded linear operators on E into F and at least one of the indices M（x0）, Mc（x0） and Mr（x0） is finite, then xo is a generalized regular point off if and only if the multi-index （M（x）, Me（x）, Mr（x）） is continuous at X0.
