INTRODUCTION

The project is mainly to study the activities and prospects of stock markets.
The past decade has been a golden age for stock exchange in India. It is poised to
dominate the future of corporate finance in India, thanks to reforms in stock market.
Earlier in the initial days of secondary market, trading on Stock Exchanges in India used
to take place through open outcry without use of information technology for immediate
matching or recording of trades. With the advent of technology, the trading in securities is
done on-line with the help of VSAT terminals. Since 1995, trading in securities is screen
based (on-line) trading which eliminated the need for trading floor. Since 2000, internet-
based trading has also made an appearance in India.

The Internet revolution has been changing the fundamentals of our society. It
shapes the way we communicate and the way we do business. It brings us closer and
closer to vital sources of information. It provides us with means to directly interact with
service-oriented computer systems tailored to our specific needs; therefore, we can serve
ourselves better by making our own decisions. This prevailing shift of the business
paradigm is reshaping the financial industry and Transforming the way people
invest.

The secondary market consists of 23 stock exchanges including the Nation Stock
Exchange and the over-the-counter Exchange of India (OTCEI) and inters
Connected Stock Exchange of India Ltd. The secondary market provides a trading place
for the securities already issued to be bought and sold. It also provides liquidity to the
initial buyers in the primary market to re-offer the securities to any interested buyer at
any price, if mutually accepted. An active secondary market actually promotes the
growth of the primary market and capital formation because investors in the primary
market are assured of a continuous market and they can liquidate their investments in the
stock exchange.

With the emergence of on-line trading in India stock Exchanges, the volume of
the securities traded, the market capitalization, the size of market and the market turnover
has increased. The scope of study in on-line trading is very vast.

It is important to ensure a smooth working of this market, as it is the arena where

1
the players in the economic growth of a country interact. Various laws have been passed
from time to time to meet this objective. The financial market in India was highly
segmented until the initiation of reforms in 1992-93 on account of a variety of
regulations and administered prices including barriers to entry. The reform process was
initiated with the establishment of Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

I will continue my study to explain how the on-line trading process is going on in
Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY


The need for the study is felt, as many people in India are unaware of trading
process in stock market.

Difficulties like lack of easy access to the market, inadequacy of the market
infrastructure, and problems in locating the right intermediaries, lack of guidance and
advice inhibited the investors from investing in the stock market. At least to have the
basic knowledge about the various functions of the stock exchanges is very important.

After liberalization in 1991, our stock markets experienced drastic changes due
to the setting up of SEBI in 1992, integration of markets, new technology in trading,
introduction of on-line trading, foreign participation etc. these led to the
development of stock market.

The actual process of on-line trading through which immediate access on the
market watch available to the client in placing orders for buying or selling of shares is to
be known.

CHAPTER – III
REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Trading means buying & selling of shares in open market with the help of stock brokers.
Before going for trading of securities thru stock brokers in a stock exchange, we should
be having the following items:
1. Bank Account

2. PAN card (Permanent Account Number)

3. Demat account opening with Depository participant

4. Trading account opening with Broker.

I. Dematerialization:

* The process of converting the physical shares into electronic format is known as
dematerialization. The key persons involved here are

1) Depository

2) Depository Participants

3) Registrar & Transfer agent

I.1) Depository:

* A depository will hold the securities in electronic form on behalf of the clients thru
Depository participants. Depository will regulate & control the various activities of the
Depository Participants.
* There are 2 Depositories in India

a) NSDL (National Securities& Depositories Limited)

6
b) CDSL (Central Depositories Securities Ltd)

I.2) Depository Participant

* A Depositary Participant is the representative for the depository & it acts as a interface
between the clients & depository.
* DP maintains the securities account balances & intimation is given to the client on the
basis of holdings from time to time

I.2.1.Functions of a DP
* Account opening

* Processing delivery Instruction Slip

* Dematerialization

* Accounts statement

* Pledging

* Rematerialsation

* Change in address

* Bank account details (for dividend purpose)

I.3) Registrar & Transfer agents (R&T Agents)

* There are 2 categories of R&T agents


Category I->Doing both Registrar activities & share transfer activities Category II-
>doing either share transfer activities or registrar activities

7
I.3.1.Functions of Registrar:-
* keeping a proper record of applications & money received from investors
* Assisting issuing companies in determining the basis of allotment of securities,
dispatching allotment letters, dispatching of refund order, shares etc

agents. SEBI can suspend the R&T Agent in the circumstances of any defaults or
violation of SEBI act

I.4.Beneficiary Account
* A Demat account (Beneficiary account) is an account opened by the investor with a DP
(Depositary Participant)of his choice to hold shares in electronic form.
* Every beneficiary account holder will be having unique ID.
* In NSDL, beneficiary ID will be in 8 digits and for CDSL, ID will be in 16 digits.

I.5.Demat Account
* This account is like our bank account, it shows the shares we have.
* Like cheque leaf in the bank, here we will be having Delivery instruction slip (DIS) to
transfer our shares to some other persons.
* DP account should be opened with DP participant. The stock broker may be a DP
Participant also.
* An investor will be having any number demat accounts with different DP

I.6.Benefits of Depository services

* It is a safe & convenient way to hold the securities


* Offers immediate transfer of securities
* No stamp duty on transfer of securities
* Elimination of risk associated with the physical certificates such as bad delivery, theft,
fake securities

8
* Reduction in paper work in transfer of securities
* Reduction in transaction cost
* Change in address recorded with DP gets registered with all companies in which
investors hold securities electronically eliminating the need to correspond with each of
them separately

I.6.Process involved in converting physical shares into demat:

The person should open one Demat account with any Depository Participant. He/she has
to send DRF (Demat Request Form) to the Registrar & Transfer Agent (R&T Agent)of
the company thru his DP along with the original share certificates. The R&T agent holds
the details about the shares. He checks with signature of the applicant and process it and
intimate about this to company & NSDL. And finally the investor will get the demat
shares thru his/her DP.

I.7.Fungibility:

* Fungible means the dematerialized securities do not have any distinctive numbers. It is
represented only by the number of securities.
* For eg:If one person is having 50 shares of Infosys means ,in a Physical share
certificate the following details will be available:
* Folio Number-25678
* Certificate Number-23476
* Distinctive no-12451-12500
* In his beneficiary account, it shows as Infosys-50.

I.8.Rematerialisation
Rematerialization is the process of converting the electronic form of shares into physical
form (i.e. share certificates)

INDIAN STOCK BROKING HOUSES:

The Indian capital market has undergone numerous changes in over the years.
Traditionally stock market booms and decline have laid numerous Problems for lay

9
investors. A close interaction of these problems revealed that these were due to paper
based trading and settlement. The short learning of the markets become manifest in
the bad deliveries, delays in transfers and irregular settlement etc. the remedial
measure was dematerialization under the depository system. With the introduction of de-
mat system in 1996 and in effect from January 1998, investors in capital market need to
have de-mat a\c. and trading a\c. stock broking houses play a vital role in this field.
These stock broking houses become depository participant of NSDL&CDSL arid help
lay investors to trade in capital markets without any hassles.

FUNCTIONING OF THESE HOUSES:


An investor can contact a broker (or) a sub-broker registered with SEBI
(Securities exchange board of India). For carrying out customer transactions pertaining
to the capital market. A broker is a member of a recognized Stock Exchange, who is
permitted to do trades on the floor of the exchange. He is enrolled as a member with
the concerned exchange and is registered with SEBI. A sub-broker is a person who is
registered with SEBI as such and is affiliated to a member of a recognized stock
exchange. The investors have to sign the “member-client agreement”/sub-broker client
agreement” for the purpose of engaging a broker to execute trades on his/her behalf
From time to time and furnish details retailing to investors for enabling the member to
maintain client registration form

The brokers have to maintain a database of their clients, by which customers


have to fill client registration, broadly following information should be provided:

1. Clients name, Address, Educational qualifications, occupation, residential status


(resident Indian/NRI/others).
2. Particulars of bank a/c.

3. Income-tax no (Pan/GIR) which also serves as unique client code.

4. If registered with any other broker, then the name of broker and concerned stock
exchange and client code number.
5. Passport number /Driving license / Ration card/ voters card identity card.

10
6. Each client has to use one registration form. in case of joint names/family members,
a separate form has to be submitted from each person.

In case of corporate client, following information has to be provided:

• Name, address of the company/firm

• Date of incorporation and date of commencement of business.

• Copy memorandum and articles of association/partnership deed.

• Details of promoters/partners/key managerial personnel the firm in specified format.

• Copies of annual report of last three years.

• Particulars of the bank account.

• Income tax number of the company.

• Annual income in last three years and market value of portfolio.

Brokerage:

The maximum brokerage that can be charged by a broker is decided by the stock
exchanges as per the Exchanges regulations. The SEBI (stock brokers and sub
brokers),1992 stipulates that sub broker cannot charge from his clients commission
which is more than 1.5% of the value mentioned in the respective purchase (or)sale note.

The trading member can charge:


1. Brokerage charged by member broker.
2. Penalties arising on specific default on behalf of client. (Investor).
3. Service tax as stipulated.

In India, now many stock broking houses have come up. some of the major

11
players are steel city security Ltd., ICICI, India bulls, SHAREKHAN, etc.
some companies provide on line services, some of them are provide only off line
services and some are provide both on Line & off-line. E.g. steel city securities Ltd
Over the years stock markets matured as the platforms for
making Investments. Here we can’t forget the role played by SEBI (Securities
Exchange Board Of India). The regulations passed by SEBI in monitoring and
controlling the trading practices made it comfortable for the investors. Over the last
few decades, the average person’s interest in the stock market has grown
exponentially. What was once a toy of the rich has now turned into the vehicle of
choice for growing wealth. This demand coupled with advances in trading
technology has opened up the markets so that now a day nearly anybody can own
stocks.

Despite their popularity, however, most people don’t fully understand


stocks. Much is learned from conversations around the water cooler with others
who also don’t know what they’re talking about. Chances are you’ve already heard
people say things Like, “Bob’s cousin made a killing in XYZ Company, and
now he’s got another hot tip...” or “Watch out with stocks--you can lose your shirt
in a matter of days!” So much of this misinformation is based on a get- rich-quick
mentality, which was especially prevalent during the amazing dotcom market in the
late 90s. People thought that stocks were the magic answer to instant wealth with
no risk. The ensuing dotcom crash proved that this is not the case. Stocks can (and
do) create massive amounts of wealth, but they aren’t without risks. The only
solution to this is education. The key to protecting yourself in the stock market is
to understand where you are putting your money.

Prior to SEBI there was not that awareness of the markets, investors used to
face so many problems with brokers. But after the concept of dematerialization of
Stocks it was made easy. As the next step exchanges like BSE (Bombay
Stock
Exchange) and NSE (National Stock Exchange) allowed with some criteria
“Online

Trading in Equity & Derivative Markets”.

12
Today there are so many Stock Broking Houses offering these online
trading services, among which Sharekhan one of the largest service providers.

ON LINE TRADING

13
1. NEAT System
The NEAT system supports an order driven market, wherein orders match
on basis of time and price priority. All quantity fields are in units and prices are
quoted in Indian Rupees. The regular lot size and tick size for various securities
traded is notified by the exchange from time to time.

To bring in efficiency, transparency and depth in the market, NSE provides a


fully automated screen based trading system known as NEAT. Its trading members
use NEAT system for trading in the capital market segment in NSE.

i. Logging on to the NEAT system

 User ID

 Trading Member ID

 Password

 New Password

ii. Market Phase

The system is normally made available for trading on all days


except
Saturdays, Sunday & other holidays.

Pre-open phase:
The pre-open period is relevant only in the normal market. Order
matching takes place at the end of the session, based on which an opening price is
computed & assigned to all trades of pre-open.

b) Opening:

In this period, all orders that have been entered in the pre-open phase are

14
matched. During this phase, the trading member cannot login to the system. If the
member is already logged in the cannot perform trading activities till market
is opened.

c) Open Phase:
The open period indicates the commencement of trading activity. To
signify the start of a trading, a message is sent to all the trade workstation. Order
entry is allowed when all the securities have been opened. During this phase,
orders are matched on a continuous basis. Trading in all the instruments is allowed
unless they are specifically prohibited by the exchange. The activities that are
allowed at this stage are:

 Inquiry: Inquiry about the market status, the shares and their prices.
 Order entry: Placing an order to buy or sell the scrips by quoting the price
and the quantity of the share.
 Order modification: Modifying the order that has been already placed.
The modification may be with respect to price or quantity.
 Order cancellation: The order placed already can also be cancelled if the
price or the quantity of scrip is not satisfactory. Order cancellation also
includes quick order cancellation.

d) Market close:
Where the market closes, trading in all instruments for that market comes
to an end. No further orders are accepted, but the user is permitted to perform
activities like inquiries.
e) Surcon:
Surveillance and control (SURCON) is that period after market close during
which, the users have inquiry access only. After the end of SURCON period, the
system processes the data for making the system available for the next trading day.
When the system starts processing data, the interactive connection with the NEAT
system is lost and the message to that effect is displayed at the trader workstation.

NEAT system enables members from across the country to trade


simultaneously with enormous ease and efficiency. A member punches into

15
the computer quantities of securities and the price at which he wants to transact
and the transaction is executed through the mainframe computer of the exchange
as soon as the order punched by him finds a matching sale or buy order from a
counter party.
The BSE opens at 9.55 a.m. and the trading starts at 10.00 a.m. 5 minutes is
given for the stockbrokers to quote their price and to get a recap of the yesterdays
prices of different scrips. The trading ends at 3.30 P.m. The auction market starts
at 4.00 p.m. and continues till 4.30 after normal on-line trading. In BSE, the trade
starts at 9.55 a.m. and ends at 3.30 p.m. A grace time of 20 minutes from
3.40p.m.to 4.00 p.m. is given in BSE as ‘End of the Session’ for trading.

2.Back Office

To calculate the net mark to market value, Bhav copy file is imported from
NSE/BSE. Net mark to market value is to be known to know the profit or
loss position of the client, basing on which the Trading Manager of SHAREKHAN
Pvt. Ltd. will decide whether the client can trade or not for the next day on
comparing it with the margin paid by the client.

3. REPORTS

After selecting ‘REPORTS’ option from main menu, the member bas
to specify the criteria for which the report is needed. The types of reports that may
be generated are: deliveries reports; receipts reports; obligations reports; custodial
trades reports; bad deliveries reports; funds reports; auctions reports; objections
reports; margins reports; securities reports and miscellaneous reports. The daily
reports of various aspects relating to the trading activities are maintained.

4. CLEARING
Settlement of trades transacted on an exchange requires smooth, preferably
instantaneous, movement of securities and funds in accordance with the prescribed
schedule of pay-in / pay-out. Movement of securities has been almost
instantaneous in the dematerialized environment. Two depositories are in place
to provide electronic transfer of securities. 10 major stock exchanges accounting

16
for about 99% of turnover have been connected to depositories. All actively traded
scrips are held, traded and settled in de-mat form. NSE follows a different model
where a clearing corporation guarantees settlement obligations emanating from
trades.
1. SETTLEMENT

The trades accumulated over a trading cycle are clubbed together at the end of the
trading cycle, positions (trades) are netted and the balance obligations are settled.
There are two main types of settlements:

 Fixed or Account Period Settlement

 Rolling Settlement

Account Period Settlement (APS)


An APS is a settlement where the trades pertaining to a period stretching
over more than one day are settled together. The clearing member of BSE has 3
days market segment and 5 days market segment.

NSCCL offers an account period settlement, which starts on Wednesday and


ends on Tuesday of next week. Concluded or locked-in trades are received from
BSE by NSCCL. At the end of each trading day, NSCCL determines the
cumulative obligations of each member and electronically transfers the data to
clearing members. Settlement is deemed to be complete upon declaration and
release of pay-out of funds and securities. On pay-out day the securities are
delivered to the respective receiving members.

Rolling Settlement
In contrast to account period settlement, under rolling settlement all
open positions at the end of a date ‘T’ mandatory results in delivery and payment
of ‘X’ working days later. In other words, all the net obligations at the end of day’s
trading are to be settled by exchange of funds and delivery on the fifth day from
the trading day. This method of trading and settlement process is called ‘Rolling
Settlement’.

17
In order to enhance liquidity, to shorten the settlement cycle and to promote
market for derivatives, SEBI permitted rolling settlement in respect of selected
shares and trades in this segment are settled by de-mat delivery only. As on
January 2001, rolling settlement was available in respect of 156 scrips.

In both the types of settlement, for confirmed trades, the settling bank will
arrange for payment and clearance and depository for effecting transfers by
electronic book entry system. Canara bank provides the clearinghouse facility.

2. COST OF TRADING
The various costs involved in the process of online trading are as follows:
 Margins,

 Brokerage,

 Service tax,

 Stamp duty.

Margins

The trade corporation has to maintain a reserve of some amount with BSE
where 30% -50% will be in the form of cash and the remaining in the form of bank
guarantees (securities), FDR’s etc. MOSL has 7.5. Crores as margin with BSE at
present.

Gross intra-day turnover (buy and sell) of a member shall not exceed 33 1/3
time the base capital. Gross exposure of a member at any time shall not exceed 8.5
times the free base capital of one crore rupees and not exceed 12 times over the
free base capital of one crore rupees

Minimum of Rs.20000 is collected as margin money from professional


clients in Steel city securities Ltd. For delivery purpose no margin money is

18
collected. Client margin collection is calculated in 16 types known as ‘Span
calculation’ and the maximum margin is collected from the clients. Motilal
Oswal collects 25% margin money in futures from clients. For trading in index
15% margin is charged. For retail clients, the full amount of the value of shares is
calculated and collected to allow them to purchase the shares

Gross Exposure Margin Payable ( Rs. Crore)

Nil

Rs. 5 lakh plus 5% in excess of Rs. 3crores

Rs.20 lakh plus 10% in excess of Rs. 6 crores

Rs.40 lakh plus 15% in excess of Rs. 8 crores

Brokerage

Brokerage is of two types:

Speculation brokerage or square up commission


This brokerage is charged where buying and selling of shares is done in
one day only and at the end of the day’s trade, the position is zero. The
speculation brokerage is charged from 0.02% to 0.05%.

Delivery Brokerage
This brokerage is charged where there may be buying or selling lot
remaining at the end of the day’s trade. The delivery brokerage is charged from
0.3% to 0.5%.
As per SEBI, maximum brokerage shouldn’t exceed 2.5% both in BSE and
NSE. For retail clients, the brokerage charged is 0.7%. A sub-broker charge 2.5%
from the clients to sell or buy the shares out of which, SHAREKHAN charges

19
1% from the sub-broker.
Service tax

In SHAREKHAN Pvt. Ltd., 5% service tax on brokerage is collected from the clients.
Stamp duty
If the stamp duty of 0.006% on turnover is Rs30 or more, only Rs30
is collected in NSE. In BSE, the minimum is 1Re and the maximum stamp duty
is unlimited.

ACCOUNTS

The Accounts/Finance department maintains the accounts in Steel city


securities Ltd. The accounts are prepared in three forms. They are:

 Client-wise net positions,

 Scrip-wise net positions,

 Pay-in and Pay-out settlement of funds.


3. DEMATERIALIZATION AND ELECTRONIC TRANSFER
OF SECURITIES:
Though de-mat was introduced in 1994, it came into existence in 1996. The
depositories Act, 1996 was passed to provide for the establishment of depositories
in securities with the objective of ensuring free transferability of securities with
speed, accuracy and security by dematerializing the securities in the depository
model. A depository holds securities in dematerialized form. It maintains
ownership records of securities and effects transfer of ownership through book
entry.

The two depositories, National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and


Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) provide services to investors and
clearing members through Depository Participants (DPs). They do not change
the investors and clearing members directly but charge their DPs, who are free to
have their own charge structure for their clients.

20
De-mat Process
When a client places his physical shares for de-mat, MotilalOswal after
inputting the information in depository participants sends the physical shares to the
company, which issued the shares. The client code number and the information
and the clients’ signature is sent to Share Holding Registrar.
There they verify whether the shares really belong to the client and
whether the signature is matching or not. Once they are satisfied that the
information sent through the DP’s are right, the shares are cleared and the
information is passed on to the client. The physical shares are then torn away as
they already exist in electronic form.

When a client enters into DP for de-mat purpose, he is given a unique code
member. He can know his share position easily. It is known as client ID number.

Advantages of Dematerialization
The process of transfer of securities became faster. The fear of loosing the
share certificates is not there because of dematerialization. Theft, forgery,
mutilation of certificates is not found in dematerialization.

4.INTERMEDIARIES

There are no intermediaries in between SHAREKHAN and NSE or


BSE. Similarly there are no intermediaries in between SHAREKHAN and
professional clients. Since SHAREKHAN is a share broker to NSE and BSE the
clients operating in SHAREKHAN directly, on behalf of other clients are sub-
brokers to the ultimate clients who doesn’t operate the trade directly. So, there
may be sub-brokers as intermediaries in between SHAREKHAN and clients
who do not trade directly in Steel city securities Ltd.

As mentioned earlier, SHAREKHAN is depository participant. So,


SHAREKHAN acts as an intermediary between clients and NSDL &CDSL.

5.MARKET INFORMATION

21
In Steel city securities Ltd, daily the research analyst collects the
market information and it is analyzed. The market information is used to forecast
the index movement, price movement of the shares and enables the clients to make
use of the information in trading to get better results.

The research analyst in forecasting the market movement follows the


technical analysis, fundamental analysis and efficient market hypothesis. The
research analyst collects the information about the company, the industry and the
economy through different media to know the company’s position.

The research analyst follows the market closely by watching the price
movement of the shares in the market. The technical analysis is very helpful in
making investment decisions. The research analyst follows different tools of
technical analysis like Japanese candlestick method; Elliot wave theory; Dow
theory; price trends and volume trends; volatility; floating stock and volume of
trade etc., to assess the market. Technical analysis reveals the movement of the
scrip. It explains when to buy a share and when to sell. So, the research analyst
gives much important to the technical analysis to forecast the price movement of
the scrip accurately.

Since, the NSE & BSE are markets with strong form efficiency, as the
market discounts the information itself very quickly and changes as per the
information, the research analyst has only fewer jobs to do here.

The research analyst not only analyses the marketing information but,
every day in SHAREKHAN an edition of the research analyst’s, suggestions on
scripts that have to be bought and sold is also printed which helps the clients of
SHAREKHAN to invest in shares that are profitable. Mostly, the predictions of
the research analyst about the market movement prove to be accurate. So market
information in SHAREKHAN is trust worthy.

LEGAL FRAMEWORK:

It deals with legislative and regulatory provisions relevant from the viewpoint of a

22
dealer. The legality of trading is through the various acts and regulators of stock
exchange. Before 1992, the three principal acts governing the securities market were:

Acts related to stock trading are

 The Capital Issues (control) Act, 1947, which restricted the issuers’ access
to the securities market and controlled the pricing of issues.

 The Companies Act, 1956, which sets out the code of conduct for
the corporate, sector in relation to issue, allotment and transfer of securities,
and disclosures to be made in public issues.
 The Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956 that provides for regulation
of transactions in securities through control over stock exchanges.
 SEBI Act, 1992: To ensure effective regulation of the market, SEBI Act,
1992 was enacted to empower SEBI with statutory powers for
 Protecting the interests of investors in securities.

 Protecting the development of the securities market and

 Regulating the securities market.

Regulators

The responsibility for regulating the securities market is shared by


Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Department of Company Affairs (DCA),
RBI; Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and Securities Appellate Tribunal
(SAT).

MOCK TRADING
BSE conducts mock trading for all its trading members. The mock
trading usually takes place once in a month or in two months.

23
Mock – trading is a process where the regular online trading is done at all
the trade workstations, which are registered with BSE. Though the on-line
trading is done, payment of funds or deliveries doesn’t take place. Though the
trade results in turnover in crores there is no transfer of funds or share certificates.
The mock-trading process is similar to the regular trading process. Mock trading is

INDUSTRY PROFILE

32
FINANCIAL MARKET:
In economics, a financial market is a mechanism that allows people to
buy and sell (trade) financial securities (such as stocks and bonds), commodities
(such as precious metals or agricultural goods), and other fungible items of value at
low transaction costs and at prices that reflect the efficient –market hypothesis.

Both general markets (where many commodities are traded) and


specialized markets (where only one commodity is traded) exist. Markets work by
placing many interested buyers and sellers in one "place", thus making it easier
for them to find each other. An economy which relies primarily on interactions
between buyers and sellers to allocate resources is known as a market economy
in contrast either to a command economy or to a non-market economy such as a
gift economy.

Financial markets are helpful to provide liquidity in the system and


for smooth functioning of the system. These markets are the centers that provide
facilities for buying and selling of financial claims and services. The financial
markets match the demands of investment with the supply of capital from various
sources.

According to functional basis financial markets are classified into two types.
They are:

 Money markets (short-term)

 Capital markets (long-term)

According to institutional basis again classified in to two types. They are


 Organized financial market

 Non-organized financial market.

The organized market comprises of official market represented by


recognized institutions, bank and government (SEBI) registered/controlled activities

33
and intermediaries. The unorganized market is composed of indigenous bankers,
moneylenders, individual professional and non-professionals.

Following diagram gives the structure of Indian financial system:

34
MONEY MARKET:
The money market is a component of the financial markets for assets
involved in short-term borrowing and lending with original maturities of one year or
shorter time frames. Trading in the money markets involves Treasury bills,
commercial paper, bankers acceptances, certificates of deposit, federal funds, and
short-lived mortgage and asset-backed securities. The money market consists
of financial institutions and dealers in money or credit who wish to either borrow or
lend. Participants borrow and lend for short periods of time, typically up to thirteen
months. Money market trades in short-term financial instruments commonly called
"paper." This contrasts with the capital market for longer-term funding, which is
supplied by bonds and equity

These instruments are often benchmarked to (i.e. priced by reference to) the London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for the appropriate term and currency.

It provides liquidity funding for the global financial system.

Money market is a place where we can raise short-term capital. Again the money market is
classified in to
 Interbank call money market

 Bill market and

 Bank loan market Etc.

 E.g.; treasury bills, commercial papers, CD's etc.

CAPITAL MARKET:
A capital market is a market for securities (debt or equity), where business
enterprises (companies) and governments can raise long-term funds. It is defined as a

market in which money is provided for periods longer than a year , as the raising of
short-term funds takes place on other markets (e.g., the money market). The capital
market includes the stock market (equity securities) and the bond market (debt).
Financial regulators, such as the UK's Financial Services Authority (FSA) or the U.S

35
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), oversee the capital markets in their
designated jurisdictions to ensure that investors are protected against fraud, among
other duties.

Capital market is a place where we can raise long-term capital. Again the capital
market is classified in to two types and they are
 Primary market and

 Secondary market.
E.g.: Shares, Debentures, and Loans etc.

PRIMARY MARKET:
Primary market is generally referred to the market.

Investor’s protection in the primary market:


To ensure healthy growth of primary market, the investing public should be
protected. The term investor protection has a wider meaning in the primary market.
The principal ingredients of investors’ protection are:

 Provision of all the relevant information

 Provision of accurate information and

 Transparent allotment procedures without any bias

SECONDARY MARKET:
The primary market deals with the new issues of securities. Outstanding
securities are traded in the secondary market, which is commonly known as stock
market or stock exchange. “The secondary market is a market where scrip’s are
traded”. It is a market place which provides liquidity to the scrip’s issued in the
primary market.

Thus, the growth of secondary market depends on the primary market. More
the number of companies entering the primary market, the greater are the volume of

36
trade at the secondary market. Trading activities in the secondary market are done
through the recognized stock exchanges. Which are 23 in number including Over the
Counter Exchange of India (OTCE), National Stock Exchange of India and
Interconnected Stock Exchange of India.

Secondary market operations involve buying and selling of securities on the


stock exchange through its members. The companies hitting the primary market are
mandatory to list their shares on one or more stock exchanges in India. Listing of
scrip’s provides liquidity and offers an opportunity to the investors to buy or sell the
scrip’s.

The following are the intermediaries in the secondary market: Broker/member of stock
exchange – buyer’s broker and seller’s broker
1. Portfolio Manager.

2. Investment advisor.

3. Share transfer agent.

4. Depository.

5. Depository participants.

STOCK EXCHANGES IN INDIA:


At the end of the June 1989, there were 18 recognized stock exchanges
in India. Among the 18 stock exchanges, the first organized stock exchange set up at
Bombay in 1857 is distinguished not only by its size but also it has been recognized
permanently, while the recognition for other markets is renewed every 5 years. Stock
markets are organized either as voluntary, non-profit making associations (Bombay,
Ahmadabad, Indore) or public limited companies (Calcutta, Delhi, Bangalore) or
company limited by guarantee (Madras, Hyderabad).

In India, the growth of stock exchanges has been linked to the growth
of corporate sector. Though a number of stock exchanges were set up before

37
independence but, there was no All India legislation to regulate their working. Every
stock exchange followed its own methods of working. To rectify this situation, the
SECURITY CONTRACTS (REGULATIONS) ACT was passed in 1956.

In 1965, 22 separate provincial stock exchanges were merged into 3 regional stock
exchanges and in 1973 these, in turn, were combined to form the National Stock
Exchange (NSE) under the title of the stock exchange that has trading floors in many
former provincial center. At present, there are 21 stock exchanges in our country.
The over-the counter exchange of India began its operations in 1992. Since 1995,
trading in securities is screen based (on-line).

EARLY DAYS OF INDIAN STOCK MARKETS:


Everything in India has a history to tell .its stock business being one of the
best examples. It is said the capital market in India dates back to the eighteenth
century .at that time, the east India Company was ruling its Indian territories out of
Calcutta, and a mughal emperor was sitting in Delhi. Stock exchanges were organized
much later. From the Mughals and the East India Company, the British Government
took over India in 1858 after the Indian war of Independence (1857-58). The Bombay
stock Exchange was formed in 1875, the Ahmadabad Stock Exchange in 1894,
Hyderabad in 1908 Madras in 1937, the Indore stock exchange in1930, Hyderabad
1943, Bangalore in 1963 and Vadodara is in 1990.

Calcutta and Bombay were the two business centers in India of the nineteenth century
where securities were traded. Trading was concentrated in bank shares. In 1836, the
Calcutta newspaper Englishman quoted share prices of the Bank of Bengal. The
Commercial Bank and the Chartered Bank, Chartered Mercantile Bank, Chartered
Bank, Agra Bank, Oriental Bank were traded in Bombay.

India saw its first boom in stocks during 1861-65 and its first bubble bursting in 1865.
A group of stock-brokers in Bombay had already come into prominence 1865.
Furthermore, 125 new companies went public during 1863-65. The boom was a
windfall of the American Civil War (1860-65) as the war brought about an upsurge of
Indian Cotton exports of Europe in place of American cotton.

38
Between 1850 and 1860, stocks of reclamation companies were extremely active
in Bombay. It was during this period that filling the shallow sea waters between seven
small islands and expanding outwards through further reclamation formed today’s
Bombay Stock Exchange. Public buildings, roads and public gardens were built in the
city. During the first stock boom from 1861-65, stocks of all Companies that were
floated command a premium. Bank and financial associations also attracted investors.

Once the American Civil War ended, the Indian Stock Market crashed on 1 st July
1865.

POWERS OF SEBI:
The securities and exchange board of India act .1992 setting up the securities and
exchange of the act, it shall be the duty of SEBI to protect the interest of investors in
securities and promote, development and regulate the securities market to carry out
its objective SEBI has been vested with the following powers:

CHARACTERSTICS OF STOCK EXCHANGES:


The following characteristics or salient features of stock exchange come out:

1. It is a place where securities are purchased and sold.


2. A stock exchange is an association of persons whether incorporated or not.
3. The trading in a stock exchange is strictly regulated and rules and
4. Both genuine investors and speculators buy and sell shares.
5. The securities of corporations, trusts, governments, municipal corporations

FUNCTIONS OF STOCK EXCHANGE

The stock exchanges play an important role in the economic development of a country.
The importance of stock exchange will be clear from the functions they perform and
discussed as follows:

1. Ensure Liquidity of Capital:

The stock exchanges provide a place where shares and stock are converted
into cash. The exchanges provide a ready market where buyers and sellers are always
available and those who are in need of hard cash can sell their holdings. Had this not
been possible then many persons would have feared for blocking their savings in
securities as they cannot again convert them into cash.

2. Continuous Market for Securities:

The stock exchanges provide a ready market for securities. The securities once
listed continue to be traded at the exchanges irrespective of the fact that owners go on
changing. The exchanges provide a regular market for trading in securities.

40
3. Evaluation of Securities:

The investors can evaluate the worth of their holdings from the prices quoted
at different exchanges for those securities, the securities are quoted under the free
atmosphere of demand and supply and the prices are set on the basis of free market.
Stock exchanges are helpful in evaluating any type of security listed there.

4. Mobilizing Surplus Savings:

The stock exchanges provide a ready market for various securities. The
investors do not have any difficulty in investing their savings by purchasing shares,
bonds etc. from the exchanges. If this facility is not there then many persons who
want to invest their savings will not find avenues to do so. In this way stock
exchanges play an important role in mopping up surplus funds of investors.

5. Helpful in Raising New Capital:

The new and existing concerns need capital for their activities. The new
concerns raise capital for the first time and existing units increase their capital for
expansion and diversification purposes. The shares of new concerns are registered at
stock exchanges and existing companies also sell their shares through brokers etc., at
exchanges. The exchanges are helpful in raising capital both by new and old concerns.
The intending buyers also remain in touch with the exchanges for investing money in
securities.

6. Safety in Dealings:

The dealings at stock exchanges are governed by well-defined rules and


regulations of Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956. There is no scope for
manipulating transactions. Every contract is done according to the procedure laid
down and there is no fear in the minds of contracting parties. The safety in dealings
brings confidence in the minds of all concerned parties and helps in increasing various
dealings.

41
7. Listing of Securities:

Only listed ‘securities can be purchased at stock exchanges. Every company


desirous of listing its securities will apply to the exchange authorities. The listing is
allowed only after a critical examination of capital structure, management and
prospects of the company. The listing of securities gives privilege to the company.
The investors can form their own views about the securities because listing a security
does not guarantee the financial stability of the company.

8. Platform for Public Debt:

The increasing government’s role in economic development has necessitated


the raising of huge amounts for this purpose. The stock exchanges provide a platform
for raising public debts. The stock exchanges are also organized markets of
government securities. However, there is no provision for a separate counter for
government securities but these are traded through brokers dealing in these securities.
9. Clearing House of Business Information:

The companies listing securities with exchanges have to provide financial


statements, annual reports and other reports to ensure maximum publicity of
corporation operations and working. The economic and other information’s provided
at stock exchanges help companies to decide their policies.

Recognized stock exchanges:

There are 22 stock exchanges in India .these were founded at different times, In
different places ,under different laws .however , all of them have now been
recognized and regulating under a single law .Namely the securities contracts
(regulations)etc,1956.No persons is in principle ,allowed to organize stock exchanges
other than the recognized ones.

In December 1995, SEBI set up the inter-exchanges coordination group,


consisting of heads of all major stock exchanges and representations from Regional
stock exchanges, to help improve the compliance process among stock exchanges

There are 2 stock exchanges in India. They are:


The most prominent among these are Bombay stock exchanges and national
stock exchanges.

BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE (BSE):

Bombay stock exchange is the first organized stock exchange set up at


Bombay in 1857. It is the premier or apex stock exchange in India as it is
distinguished not only by its size but also it has been recognized permanently while
recognition of other stock exchanges is renewed every 5 years. It is the oldest stock
market.

44
Earlier BSE was organized as voluntary non-profit making association
of brokers to regulate and protect their interest. After the Security Contracts
(Regulation) Act was passed in 1956, BSE was first recognized on a permanent basis
in 1957. Its business is no longer confined to Mumbai alone; at the end of 1957, there
were 100 other cities in which it had set up business.

Bombay stock exchange raised the threshold limit for listing to Rs.10
crores, moved on to weekly settlement and quicker actions for each settlement.
Settlement is through the clearinghouse. 12 days carry forward is allowed on BSE.
Index I BSE is ‘SENSEX’. BSE membership fee in 1857 was just Rs 1 and now it in
about Rs 2 crores. The number of companies quoted on the stock exchanges is more
than 8,000 of which those listed in BSE are 5,000. The capital listed in Bombay
stock exchange accounted for about 40% of the overall capital listed on all the
stock exchanges whereas, its share of the market capitalization amounted to around
90%. In BSE the total number of companies listed and total number of stocks issued is
higher than any other stock exchange.

BSE went over to electronic trading system in Jan 1995 called ‘Bombay online
Trading” (BOLT) system and this become fully operational in May 1995. The BSE has
allowed expansion of online trading system to members of other stock exchanges and have
terminals in other cities since August 1995, to counter the move of the country –wise
network of terminals by National Stock Exchange. The daily turnover in BSE varies from
Rs 400-800 crores. Brokers trading in NSE follow BSE to know the market

ADVANTAGES OF BSE
There are some advantages in favour of the BSE as follows:

1) BADLA SYSTEM

Only the BSE has been allowed to have the badla system. The badla system
provides the market with additional liquidity and the investor with a certain hedging
tool for each of the 100 stocks, which are known as the specified stocks or group
stocks.

45
2) BROADER MARKET

Nearly 6,000 stocks are listed on the BSE while the NSE has approximately 1,500 listed
or permitted stocks. BSE thus provides investors with a broader choice of Indian companies
to invest in.

3) ODD LOTS TRADING

The BSE’s trading system facilitates trading odd lots of shares and such
transactions settle through the exchange’s clearing house. The NSE allows its
members to trade odd lots outside the exchange.

4) REALISTIC APPROACH

The BSE is an association of people and is run by people who are primarily
brokers and who have years of on hand experience in securities business. Under such
management, professionals have been recruited to key administrative positions of the
exchange.

5) MORE TIME FOR SETTLEMENT

The BSE gives an investor’s broker or custodian more time to make payments
and effect deliveries.

Strengths:

 Huge investors base

 Familiarity of investors with BSE’s operation.

 Large nationwide network of brokers and sub brokers.

46
 120 years experience in equity trading

 Expands its vast network obtain business.

Weakness:

 Lack of transparency

 Lengthily settlement period

 Close club culture prevails

 Government preference for National Stock Exchange.

OBJECTIVES OF BSE:
The objectives of BSE are:

1) To provide a nationwide trading facility for equitation debt instruments


and hybrids;

2) To ensure equal access to investors all over the country through an


appropriate communication network;

3) To provide a fair, efficient and transparent securities market to


investors using electronic trading systems;

4) To enable shorter settlement cycles and book entry settlement systems,


and to attain current international standards of securities market.

5) Two additional market segments exclusively for institutions, the


institutional lot segment and trade for trade segment are set up to
encourage and institutional market where large volume trades take
place for settlement in jumbo lots.

47
Strengths:

 Transparency and National reach

 Equal access to all members

 Government patronage

 Institutional patronage

 Provides avenue for investment trading.

 Hi-tech infrastructure.

 FII more comfortable with screen based trading.

 Specializing in derivatives - Futures & Options.

Weaknesses:

 No track record.

 Screen based trading is a new concept.

 Short run concentration in Mumbai.

 Back up infrastructure like communication not in place.

 Prohibitive costs of entry for small brokers.

 Untested systems for large volumes of trade.

 BSE’s established system, its network of brokers and sub brokers.

48
 Uneven track record of computerization in India.

BSE Vs NSE:
There are two camps of thought with regard to preference of either the BSE or
NSE
1. One which had brokers highly recommending the NSE and

2. The other which had brokers taking a neutral stance.

Essentially, those brokers who have started business over the past
few years tend to enthusiastically praise the NSE for its transparency, decent risk
controls and simple settlement mechanism .They also claim that since the NSE is never
and not bound by traditions or vested interests, it has brighter prospects for the future,
especially with regard to quicker and further technological advancements.

LEGAL FRAME WORK:

The nearly two hundred years of British rule resulted a comprehensive legal
system in India. However ,today’s capital markets in India cannot live only on the
British legacy .New wine needs new bottles .After it initiated economic reform in
1991, India quickly repealed or revised old laws, rides and regulations, and legislated
new ones in order to align itself with global capital market standards.

The Indian securities laws, rules and regulations that were amended or newly
enacted for the development of the reborn capital markets include:

 The companies Act, 1956.

 The securities and exchange board of India act, 1992.

 The securities contracts (regulation) act, 1956.

weakening of financial system in the US and Europe. The Indian economy’s slower-
than-expected growth and fourth quarter heightened concerns of a prolonged
