1.1 STOCK EXCHANGES OF INDIA- BACKGROUND

The stock exchanges concept is more than a century old for the economy of India. The Bombay stock
exchange was formed in 1875, while Calcutta stock exchange and madras stock exchange was set up in 1908
and Delhi stock exchange was formed in year 1947. The multi-tier securities exchange model was adopted in
our country in October 1990 with the establishment of OTCEI . high profile national stock exchange was set
up in 1993 to encourage stock exchange reform through system modernization and competition.

In common parlance, stock exchange means , a place where stocks are traded. The word stock means bond
,equity shares, preference shares, debentures etc. an exchange means trading, transaction. Stock exchange
provides liquidity for stocks and the securities. it is the market that provides a platform to the owner of the
securities to sell their holding at reasonable prices and also provides an opportunities to the prospective buyers
to purchase the same..

MEANING OF STOCK EXCHANGE

According to securities contract ( regulation) act , 1956,” A body of individuals whether incorporated or not
constituted for the purpose of assisting or controlling the business of buying selling or dealing of securities.

FUNCTIONS OF STOCK EXCHANGE

A stock exchange has been variously described such as the barometer of adversity and prosperity of a nation,
the nerve centre and politics of a nation as in most of the world. All the changing political, economic and
industrial conditions of the nation are reflected on the stock exchange. A stock exchange gives encouragement
the promotion of joint stock enterprises for the large manufacturing industries. It serves as a pivot of money
market and fortress of capital . therefore stock exchange is an important system in the capitalist economy.

A stock market is the market which aims at providing at continuous , free and fair market, where buyers and
sellers can come in contact and deal in shares and debentures. It provides a ready market where share and
securities can be exchanged and transferred with the minimum of time and maximum of profit .

Unhealthy speculation and other undesirable practices are condemned; otherwise stock exchange will be a
disaster.

Some of the economic functions of stock exchanges are as follows:

• PROVIDES READY MARKET-

A stock exchange provides a free and fair market in securities. A holder of securities may at any time get
back his money by selling of his holdings in a stock exchange. It promotes investment by offering a
wide choice in securities both on consideration of yield and safety against depreciation in their values.

• FACILITY FOR TRANSFRE OF SECURITIES –

Stock exchange provides sufficient marketability of the securities dealth therein and ensures their price
connectivity . in stock exchange , every security constitutes a separate market for itself. One cannot buy
and sell securities unless some facility , by which buyers and sellers can meet together and delay in
securities is provided .The stock market provides the facility as it is simply a place of traffic in stocks
and shares.

• MOBILITY OF CAPITAL –
In addition to provide a market, the stock exchange has largely helped in directing the accumulated
wealth of the country into fruitful channels. The stock exchange is not like investment trust or any other
investment institution. It merely provides an open market for the sale and purchase of securities. It
directs the flow of new earnings into investment leading to the production of wealth into 2 ways:

- By purchase of securities by the buyers (savers) directly.

- Secondly by placing the saving with financial institutions to reinvest the funds and securities.

• STABILITY AND LIQUIDITY OF CAPITAL –

An investor can withdraw his capital at anytime either for other investment or for personal need for
selling the shares in the stock market. It is interesting to note that capital can be withdrawn without
affecting the industry. Thus, the investment is made liquid and easily disposable.

• INCREASES THE NUMBER OF DEALINGS-

The stock exchange provides the facility for secondary distribution of new securities, after the original
sale of securities. the supply of shares of a particular industry cannot be increased with every change in
prices , though the stock available in the market at a particular time may vary a little. The stock
exchange creates an interest and willingness in the mind of investors to invest in securities. It increases
the marketability of security since some securities are bought and sold again and again. Readily salable
securities serve good collateral securities for loans.

• SAFETY OF DEALINGS-

An organized stock exchange functioning under government regulation provides a reasonable measure
of security and safety of dealings in securities in the investors through its rules and regulations. The risk
of the investor is considerably reduced when he purchases securities, which are ordinarily dealth in a
stock exchange. The stock exchange before giving permission to deal , require the observance of a rigid
set of rules by the company and call for certain information with a view to safeguard the interest of
investors. The information supplied is examined impartially and then permission is granted. Thus, it
creates confidence in the minds of investors.
• FINANCING INDUSTRY-

The stock exchange encourages investment in an industry more than any other institution The
investment flows in corporate securities so that the nation can achieve industrial development and
economic progress. Moreover, the condition of the company is visible since the price of securities shows
the real worth , which depends upon the serving capacity and future development of the company. In
short industrial development, savings investment and capital formation are the benefits of the stock
exchange.

• WIDER SHARE OWNERSHIP ESTABLISHMENT –

In addition to the basic function a well organized modern exchange is also expected to educate the
masses in the art of investment in stock exchange and thereby, promote wider ownership amongst
individuals is of particular significance to the developing countries wherein savings are scattered for
further income. Through it new sources of capital can be tapped.

• ECONOMIC BAROMETER-

An ideal stock exchange serves to allocate only just enough funds for any industries and checks the
flow of capital when an industry begins to show diminishing or uneconomical returns. This is achieved
through keeping an eye on price movements of the securities.

• OTHER FUNCTIONS-

Other functions performed by the stock exchange are that the market price established in trading is
useful for tax purpose. The stipulation on disclosure and transparency ensures availability of information
on listed companies, particularly in regard to financial conditions and protect investor interest by
eliminating dishonest and irregular practices in the brokerage made.
INDIAN CAPITAL AND STOCK MARKETS

INTRODUCTION

Capital market is the market for long term funds, just as money market for short term funds. It refer to all the
facilities and the institutional arrangement for the borrowing and lending term funds(medium term and long
term funds).The demand for long term capital fund comes. Predominantly from private sector manufacturing
,industrial, agriculture and from the government (largely for the purposed economic development).The supply
of funds for the capital market comes largely from individuals servers, corporate saving banks, insurance
companies, specialized financing agencies and the government.

INDIAN CAPITAL MARKET

Indian capital market can be divided in to two market primary market (new issue)and secondary market.

PRIMARY MARKET

The primary market helps the industry to raise funds by issuing different types of securities. Issue of securities
in the primary market may be made through (i) prospectus

(ii) Offer of sale and (iii) private placement. The securities offered to the public through prospectus are directly
subscribed to by the investor. The issuing company widely publics the offer through various media. The
securities exchange board of India (SEBI) has classified various issues in to three group’s i.e. New issue, Right
issue, Preferential issue.

The SEBI has issued various guidelines regarding proper disclosure for investors protection .These guidelines
are required to be duly observed by the companies raising capital. The boom in the primary market, that started
in mid eighties and accelerated there after, started slowing down by 1995.The low return on new issues and
several low quality issues have led to stock market .Has (0) eroded the confidence of investors.

SECONDARY MARKET

The secondary market is represent by stock exchange which provide on organized market place for the investors
to trade in securities.

It permits the prices of securities to be determined by market forces .The lining process how for demand and
supply underlying each securities .Thus the specific price of securities in determined, in the manner of an
auction. The stock exchange provides a market in which the members (share brokers) & investors participate to
ensure liquidity. The secondary market of a boost when over the counter exchange of India (OTCEI) and
national stock exchange(NSE) were established .NSE and OTCEI have been established by All India Financial
Institutions ,while after stock exchanges are in the form of associations.

STOCK MARKET

The stock markets refers to the market of shares and debentures of new companies .The market is further
divided in to the new issue market and the old capital market .The new issue market called primary market and
the second one is secondary market. The new issue of primary market refers to the raising of new capital in the
form of shares and debentures whereas the old market or secondary market deals with the securities already
issued by the companies. Both markets are equally important.

INDIAN STOCK MARKET

India has one of the oldest stock market in Asia. India also has the second largest holders next only to USA. The
Indian figure look impressive but actually it constitutes only 1.5 per cent of total population. The country also
has about 50 lacks market has appeared as a result of increasing industrialization are wing awareness among
people and labialization of capital market .

After the industrial revolution, as a size of business enter price grows, it was no longer possible for proprietors
or even partnership to raise classical amount of money required for undertaking large entrepreneurial ventures.
Such large requirement of capital could only be met by the very large member of individual also; their number
running in to hundred, thousands and even millions depending the size of business ventures.
These ventures could be expected to invest activity in productive enterprise only of there was some
mechanism by which they could sell a part of their state in the business whenever they wish to generate cash
.This need for making investment “liquid” was necessary to be “broken up” in to a large number of small units,
so that each unit could be independently bought and sold. This was achieved through shares and debentures (or
bonds) representing small units of ownership and leading respectively ,by the public .

Such breaking up of stake in to smaller denominations also help in enhancing small savings in the economy in
to entrepreneurial ventures.

NEW ISSUE MARKET

INTRODUCTION

New issue market helps the Industry to raise funds by issuing different types of securities .The securities
exchange board of India(SEBI) has classified various issues in to three group’s i.e. New issue, Right issue,
Preferential issue. The boom in the issue market, that started in mid eighties and accelerated there after, started
slowing down by 1995.

The low return on new issues and several low quality issues have led to stock market fiasco, and eroded the
confidence of investors.

VARIOUS INSTRUMENTS OF NEW ISSUE MARKET

The following instruments can be made in new issue market:

1. Equity issues through prospectus or rights renounced by existing shareholders.


2. Preference shares with a fixed dividend either convertible in to equity or not.
3. Debentures of various categories-convertible fully convertible, partly convertible and not convertible
debentures.
4. PSU bonds –taxable or tax free with fixed interest rates.
Investors should prefer debentures if they are interested in a fixed income .They may go for convertible
debentures ,if they want to have to fixed income and likely capital appreciation in future .If they are risk taking
and aim only at capital gains, then they may invest in equity shares .Of the new issues those of well established
existing companies are least risky while those of new companies floated by little known new entrepreneurs are
most risky .In choosing the new issues for investment decision ,the investor has to ready a copy of the
prospectus and note the following :

1. Who are the promoters and their past record

2. Products manufactured and demand for those products at home or abroad –the competitors and the share of
each in the market.

3. Availability of inputs, raw materials and accessories and the dependence on imports.

4. Project location and its advantages.

5. Prospectus through projected earnings, net profits and dividend paying capacity, waiting period involved etc.

If the new issues belong to a company promoted by well known Business groups like Reliance, Infosys etc they
are less risky .The company should belong to an industry which is expanding and has good potential like drugs,
chemicals, steel etc the terms of offer should be attractive like conversion or immediate prospects of dividend
etc.

2. TRADE OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT

The basic operation of this department is to generate reports pertaining to all monies pay in and
pay out. It is closely connected or interdependent on the Margin Department, Clearing House and EDP
Department. A daily report related to daily trade operations is generated at the end of each day after
trading is over which shows the volume and daily profits/losses of the individuals brokers and are
given to each broker. If the member has sustained a loss he is required to deposit the loss known as the
mark to market margin by way of cheque in the margin department.

Thus in a gist the following functions can be noted:

- Collection of Mark to Market Margin (only cash/cheque form) on the daily basis.

- Clearing of pay in and pay out;

A. Collection of pay in from members on daily basis.

B. Pay out to clients on daily basis.

I.D.F. (Infrastructure Development fund). It is a compulsory levy for both the active and

- The system is through transfers in individual members account by means of book entries.

- The minimum settlement period of individual member’s transactions takes three days.

- Preparations of reports on daily basis for the trade transactions entered on the Stock
exchange.

- Computerized system of maintaining the records.

Suspension of trading and penalty:

If a cheque for mark to market margin or volatile margin submitted by member is not cleared by
bank, than trading of that member is suspended till next day until clearance of the cheque. Additional
penalty is also leviable if such amount exceeds Rs. 1 lakhs.
3. MARGIN DEPARTMENT

Margin is the minimum amount of capital, required to be deposited, with the Stock Exchange by
the member or broker to have trading rights on the Exchange.

Shri J.K. Dixit heads this department. The margin to be furnished by each member shall be
provided by a deposit of cash or it may be provided in the form of a deposit receipt of a Bank approved
by the Exchange or it may be in the form of approved securities.

Important Note: Deposits of cash shall not carry any interest and the securities deposited by a
member valued at the ruling market price shall exceed the margin amount for the time being covered
by them by such percentage as the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe.

The margins which are required to be maintained by a member of the exchange can be broadly
stated as follows:

1- BMC-Base Minimum Capital

2- Mark to Market Margin

3- V.A.R. Margin (Value at the Risk)

Base Minimum Capital

A minimum of Rs. 4, 00,000.00 is to be deposited as BMC by an active as well as a non-active


member.

Mode of depositing these four lakhs can be better understood by the following chart:
Rs. 4 Lakhs
|
| |
75 %( i.e. Rs. 3 lakhs) 25%(i.e., Rs. 1 Lakhs)
- can be kept in the form of cash/approved |
Securities/FD -------------------------
- If this margin is to be kept in the form of | |
Securities it is valued at 85% of Market value. 50% 50%
| |
In the form in the form
Of cash of FDRs (from
Clearing bank
of UPSE)

A member or broker can trade 30 times on BMC (i.e., purchase or sale)


If the member desires to increase his turnover beyond the limits of 30 times of the BMC he can
send a request to the Margin department for the same and deposit the additional capital. This additional
capital is deposited 30% in cash (i.e. cheque/FDRs) and 70% in the form of approved securities.

The total outstanding of a member at the end of day should not exceed 15 times the
BMC+Additional Capital, if any. Thus, the trade transactions of the members are monitored on daily
basis to keep a check that none of the members exceed their trade limit and if they do so then they pay
the difference before they can trade the next day.

Mark to Market Margin:

At the end of the trading cycle, the profit/loss is calculated for every member whose transactions
are not squared up. Under this each member is required to deposit daily losses suffered by him to the
Stock Exchange. However, profit is not taken into consideration. The loss is calculated as the
difference between his buying and selling price and the closing price of the scrip at the end of that day.
The amount is required to be deposited by way of cheque on daily basis.

The losses on day say Tuesday is taken as a “base loss” which is to be paid off next day. If loss
on Wednesday is less than the loss borne on Tuesday then the loss of Wednesday is exempt but if it
higher than the loss of Wednesday, then the loss on Wednesday becomes the “base loss” and so on.

Accordingly the highest loss in a week is to be paid by a member. However, an exemption of


loss up to Rs. 1 lakh is allowed by UPSE. Out of this 1 lakh first of all Mark to market margin is
settled. Thereafter, V.A.R. margin is settled and if there is still any balance that is to be settled
next day morning by 11O’clock.

The mark to market margin is to be paid only on the losses borne on sale of securities and the
loss borne on purchase of securities is ignored.

4. CLEARING HOUSE

The UPSE has maintains a clearing house which is under the control of the Board of the
Directors. The clearing house acts as a common agents of members for clearing contracts between
members and for delivering securities to and receiving securities from members and the receiving or
paying any amounts payable to or payable by such members in connection with any of the contracts.
The clearing house facilitates the delivery and payment in respect of securities, transfer deeds and any
other documents between members. It works in close connection with the trade operations department.
Just as in case of money pay in and money pay out the clearing house deals in the pay in an pay out of
the securities.

At the end of clearing period, each member/broker submits his statements, either as a delivery
note or as receiving note as the case may be to the clearing house. Clearing Rate is the rate at which all
bills are delivered in the Clearing House. It is at that rate all the securities bills are cleared. The
difference of the clearing rate and the actual trade rate is adjusted through profit and loss account in the
trade operations department. The deliveries are received in two ways:

- Direct

- Through UPSE

Since, each member has a separate demat account with a depository participant (known as
clearing member Account), the transfer of securities are facilitated through the same. On the basis of
the delivery note statement, depository participant transfers the securities from clearing member
account to the UPSE account. When the trade operations department intimates the satisfaction of
money pay in, the clearing house directs the depository participant to release deliveries to the
respective member/broker account. In a nutshell, it works synonymously on lines to the working of
Reserve Bank of India, the only basic difference being that in case of clearing house of stock exchange
deals only with the transfer/exchange of securities instead of transfer of money in case of clearing
house of Reserve Bank of India.

Short Delivery/ Close Out:

There may be a situation that there may exist some shortfalls of securities. In order to cover the
shortfalls, the stock exchange goes for the Auction procedure.

The auction of securities are done on T+4 i.e., if the trading was done on Monday the auction
will be conducted on Friday between 12.00 p.m. to 1.00 p.m. of course only if there is any short
delivery. In the auction, the lowest bid price is accepted by the UPSE.

However, if in the auction, shortfall does not get covered, then the deal is closed out. The close
out rate is:

“Highest price recorded in that scrip on the exchange in the settlement in which the concerned
contract was entered in to and up to the date of auction/close out.”

OR
“20% above the official closing price on the Exchange on the day on which auction offers are
called for (and in the event of there being no such closing price on that day, then the official closing
price on the immediately preceding day on which there was an official closing price)”

“WHICHEVER IS HIGHER.”

5. LISTING DEPARTMENT

Another important area of work of the stock exchange is the listing of the securities of
companies.

Listing Application – The Company, which is not listed on stock exchange should adopt a
request letter of application for the enlistment of its securities therein. The company must apply for
listing of the shares in the prescribed application form within 10 days of the filling of the prospectus
with the registrar of companies along with certain documents i.e. the Memorandum and Articles of
Association, debentures trust deed, prospectus, underwriting agreements, vendors and promoters
agreement, service and selling agency agreement, collaboration and technical agreements, particulars of
dividend and cash business, if any, paid during the last ten years, arrears of dividend, directors Report,
Balance Sheet for the last ten years, a short history of companies with details of its activities,
specimens of share certificates, debentures certificates, transfer, split and consolidation receipts. The
application forms consist of details information under the various head such as the title of the company,
date and place of incorporation, address or registered office and the principal place of business, present
capitalization and past history of capital structure, terms and conditions of any options, dividend
record, particulars of any recognition, reconstruction, amalgamation, absorption etc, and miscellaneous
information in relation to the Company’s financial year. The Company desirous of listing has to
execute with the stock exchange a detailed agreement, in the prescribed form. The list companies
which needs further issues does applies on other prescribed letter of application and supporting
documents. There are five steps in the listing procedure, namely;

I. Applicant Company communicates to the Stock Exchange.

II. Preparation and printing of a formal application.

III. Investigation by a committee of the Board of Directors.

IV. Approval by the Board of Directors.

V. A new Company should have a post issue capital of Rs. 3 Crores. An existing Company opting
for the additional list should also have a post issue capital of Rs. 3 crores.
The Companies intending to list at the stock exchange have to pay two types of fees: initial
listing fee and annual listing fee. This is the main source of revenue of the Stock Exchange.

A. Initial List fee Rs. 10,500

B. Annual Listing Fee

1. Companies with paid up share capital of Rs. 1Crores Rs. 6,000

2. Above Rs. 1 crores and upto Rs. 5 crores Rs. 12,000

3. Above Rs. 5 crores and upto Rs. 10 crores Rs. 20,000

4. Above Rs.10 crores and upto Rs. 20 crores Rs. 40,000

5. Above Rs. 20 crores and upto Rs. 50 crores Rs. 60,000

6. Above Rs. 50 crores and upto Rs. 75 crores Rs. 1,00,000

Companies, which have a paid up Capital of more than Rs. 75 crores will pay additional listing fees
of Rs. 2000/- for every increase of Rs. 5 crores or part thereof in the paid up share/debenture capital.

DELISTING OF COMPANIES:

With the repeal of the Controller of Capital Issues Act, listing was badly seeked by many
companies consequent to which every Company whether with or without proper financial standing got
enlisted. The result was that prices of shares of these Companies dropped and were hardly traded. Thus,
as a result many Companies got delisted from the UPSE and they fall into the category of the Defunct
Companies.
6. SURVEILLANCE DEPARTMENT

This department reports directly to the SEBI through Executive Director. Its function includes.

- Collections of information from various departments on daily basis, find out script vise

Securities. The Bad delivery of securities:-

- The Broker who purchased the shares on the behalf of the client will prepare a Bad deliver
memo in the prescribed from BDC 1A in triplicate and submit the same to the BDC of stock
exchange along with the companies objection(s)
- The BDC makes an entry of the same in the register and allots a unique serial number to each

10. UPSE SECURITIES LIMITED

The UPSE Securities Ltd., a subsidiary of the UPSE was incorporated on 19th April 2000 with its
registered office situated in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

Factors deriving to its constitution:

- SEBI as a regulatory and monitoring body for the stock exchange came out with its
regulatory and control systems owing to which there was an adverse impact on the broker’s
turnover in trading business. As a result 152 members of UPSE united themselves to create
this organization and at present hold the membership of BSE as well.

- At present 94 members have been registered from SEBI, and 47 out of 94 are active
members of this organization.

- Rolling settlement of transactions.

- Approximately, 5 crores turnover reaped on per day basis.

- However, this Organization barely meeting its basic necessity and is only in the status of no
profit no loss situation. But, in the long run its Management has to restructure all its
promotional, turnover, and trading policies to safeguard the long term interest of the
organisation.
1.3 CORPORATIZATION AND DEMUTUALIZATION 2005

Most of the Stock Exchanges around the world were set up as association of the Trading members. The
objective to set up association was aimed to create a formal institution for mutually regulating the securities
transactions among the members. Thus, most of the Stock Exchanges were promoted as non-profit
organizations. While, the management of the Stock Exchange was generally vested with elected
representative(s) of the trading members, executives carried out the day-to-day functioning of the Stock
Exchange.
However, during last two decades attempts have been made to change the profile of the
Stock Exchange by demutualising them and reconstituting them as commercial corporate entities.1
Demutualization of a Stock Exchange entails that it is no longer remains entity for mutual benefit of Trading
members but beholds the larger objective of becoming the system with adequate checks for proper mobilization
of capital & protecting the interest of investors at large.
Corporatization is a critical enabler that would support the efforts in expanding and
strengthening the Indian capital market. While things are becoming more business oriented,
the corporatized Stock Exchanges will improve its flexibility and efficiency in
terms of its responsiveness to market needs2.
The need for corporatization of Stock Exchanges in India has recently came into lime
light after functioning of Mumbai Stock Exchange is alleged to have been manipulated by the some of the
Trading members on governing Board of the exchange, which followed by stock markets crash inspite of what
was seen as one of the favorable & progressive Union Budget in recent years3.
After the stock scam of March 2001, the Government finally announced that all stock
exchanges would have to mandatorily go in for demutualization within a specified timeframe4. This was aimed
at preventing conflict of interests, which arise when
stockbrokers are involved in the management of the stock exchanges also.
It is in this context it becomes necessary to study the need and impact of Corporatization of Stock Exchanges
and its relevance in Indian context before a clear roadmap could be prepared to take this process forward, for
which SEBI constituted a Group under the Chairmanship of Justice M. H. Kania, former Chief Justice of India
comprising of eminent personalities, in fields of law, accountancy, finance, company law affairs and taxation to
advise SEBI on this matter and to recommend the steps that need to be taken to implement the announcement of
the Government.
So as a result of this the Government has approved the corporatization of stock exchanges in India by which
ownership and trading rights would be segregated from each other .corporatization and demutualization of stock
exchanges are complex subjects and involve number of legal, accounting and company law issues. These
roadmaps could be prepared to take process forward.
Historically, brokers owned , controlled and used to manage stock exchanges. In case of dispute, the self often
got procrdure over regulations leading inevitably to conflict interest. The regulator therefore focus on reducing
the dominance of members in the management of stock exchanges and advised to reconstitute their governing
council to provide atleast 50% non brokers representatives. This did not materially alter the situation. Thus
finally in face of volatility in the securities market, government proposed in marc 2001 to corporatize the stock
exchanges by which the ownership, management and trading members could be segregated from one another.

Uttar Pradesh Stock Exchange Association Ltd. was inaugurated on 27th August, 1982 and occupies one of the
prominent place among 24 Stock Exchanges in India. It plays an important role in the development of the
capital market of North India.
Initially, it had only 350 members which has grown up to 540 at present. The membership is open to companies
even beyond the territories of Uttar Pradesh. At present UPSE as 683 companies
listed with the total capitalization of Rs 81,184 crores. The annual turnover of this exchange for past three years

This stock exchange is wedded to the investors protection and investors education as UPSE has firm conviction
that any investor protection cannot be achieved without proper awareness and education of investors . thus, the
exchange has a very active investor service cell and also a very equipped research and development wing in
functioning. UPSE has also very effective system of readdressing of the investors complaints.

The exchange is one of the best developed exchanges of the country so far its infrastructure is concerned . The
Prime minister Dr. Manmohan singh, Finance minister shri Pranab Mukherjee , other central ministers and
chief ministers of Uttar Pradesh have visited the exchange and had appreciated its efforts in maintaining the
transparency and the integrity of the market. To keep pace of changing technology the exchange has embarked
upon the project of screen based training. The online trading based on VECTOR software supplied by Cmc has
commenced on UPSE from 11th November, 1997.

To increase the further business and to facilitate the online trading facility to about 22 members at luck now an
additional trading floor was established at lucknow. Seeing lack of participation by investors, UPSE has closed
down its landmark Additional Trading Floor (ATF) at Lucknow. The ATF was set up initially to further
increase business and to provide online trading facility to Lucknow based members. It commenced online
trading in March 1999 with 22 members, who were allotted computer terminals at the ATF. The terminals were
connected with UPSE's main server via VSAT.

It is noteworthy to note that at present out of 17 regional stock exchanges recognized in India only 2 regional
stock exchanges are functioning and are still generating some turnover. UPSE is among those two regional
stock exchange , the other one being Calcutta stock exchange.
As per decision of SEBI for the revival of the smaller stock exchanges in the country, they can obtain the
member stock exchanges like NSE, BSE, CSE etc by forming a subsidiary company of the exchange and in turn
the members of the exchange can trade through the said subsidiary as sub- brokers.

Accordingly they had incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary namely UPSEC and obtained the membership of
BSE to enable the members of UPSE on BOLT. They are at present trying to get membership of NSE.

MAJOR OBJECTIVES OF UPSE

• To organize and carry on the stock exchange and regulate the business of the exchange , stocks, shares ,
debentures , debenture stocks , government securities , bonds and equities of any description and with a
view to establish and conduct stock exchange in Kanpur.

• To acquire the membership of any other recognized exchange in India and abroad including membership
of OTCEI , broad base the operation of stock exchange for the benefit of general public & investors.

• To promote one or more subsidiary whether wholly or partly owned with object to promote & trade in
shares & stocks , debenture bonds and other securities of any description issued by companies ,
statutory corporations, government of state or union Government , financial institutions.
2.3 UPSE SECURITIES LIMITED

(Commonly referred in as subsidiary company)

The formation of UPSE securities ltd is the outcome of various underlying reasons. To understand that , time
would have to be set back to late 20th century.. Prior to that ,the regional stock exchanges were receiving a great
source of revenue as listing fees of various companies .Every company was supposed to list themselves in
regional stock exchange where their head office existed .so besides mandatory listing in regional stock
exchange ,it was the fashion among companies to list themselves in more and more stock exchange But slowly
in 2003 ,SEBI totally called the mandate and awarded freedom to get listed in any stock exchange All factors
contributed to companies to get delisted from regional stock exchanges. This move vanished the major source
of revenue of RSE. So, it was decided in a meeting held on September 9,1999 to promote or float a subsidiary
company to acquire membership right of other big stock exchanges i.e. NSE /BSE subject to under noted
conditions:

• The subsidiary company shall be 100% owned by stock exchanges promoting/floating such subsidiary
company. The name of the company shall not contain the word “stock exchange”.

• The members of stock exchange shall register themselves as sub .brokers of subsidiary company to
enable them through subsidiary company.
• The subsidiary company shall register only the members of stock exchange, which is promoting the
subsidiary company as its brokers, and no other client/sub broker shall be entertained by subsidiary

tool by the way of margin, the Exchange accordingly impose margins on the members. Other
highlights of the department are:

Base Minimum capital is Rs. 400000 is required without this trading is not allowed.

50% is in liquid assets (cash & FDR).

50% in other liquid assets (share and mutual funds)

Members are allowed trading on the amount deposited over and above BMC.

As soon as the margin touches the margin point , the terminal automatically gets prohibited for
trading.

There are three types of Margin in Stock Exchange :

• Value at Risk.

• Mark to Market.

• Extreme Loss Margin.

All are calculated and applied on-line.


Margins are calculated on daily basis. M2M Loss is deducted from the deposits of members .

Formula:-

Liquid assets – M2M =Surplus Liquid

Surplus Liquid-VAR ELM=Surplus.

OVERVIEW:

The core of the risk management system is a Liquid Asset , deposited by the members with the
Exchange/Clearing corporation. These liquid assets shall cover the following four
requirements/risks:

M2M LOSSES:- Mark to Market losses are on outstanding settlement obligation of the matter.

VaR: - VaR margin is to cover potential losses for 99% of the days.

ELM Margin:- Margin to cover the expected losses in situation thet lie outside the coverage
of Var Margin.

M2M LOSSES:- M2M Losses shall be collected in following manner:-

 The stock exchange shall collect M2M Margin from member/broker before the start of
the trading day.

 The M2M Margin shall be collected/adjusted from/against the cash/equivalent


component of the liquid net worth deposited with the Exchange.

 The M2M Margin shall be collected on the gross open position of the members. The
gross open position for this purpose would mean the gross of all next position across
all the clients of the members including his proprietor position.
 The margin so collected shall be also with the pay in including early pay-in of
securities.

VaR Margin:- Computation

The VaR Margin is the margin intended to cover the large loss that can be encountered on
99% of the days (99% value at risk) . For liquid stocks the margin covers one day losses
while for liquid stocks it covers three days losses so as to allow clearing corporation to
liquidate the position over three days . This leads to a scaling factor of square root of three
for liquid stocks.

For liquid stocks , the VaR Margins are also based on the votality of the stock while for
other stock , the voltality of the market index is also used for computation.

Computation of VaR Margin includes following terminologies:-

SCRIP SIGMA:- Scrip sigma means the volatility of the security computed as at the end of
the previous day. The computation usage the exponentially weighted moving average
manner as in the derivative market.

SCRIP VaR:- Scrip VaR means the higher of 7.5% or 3.5% scrip sigma.

INDEX SIGMA:- Index sigma means the daily voltality of the market index (S&P CNX

When an investor sell their securities then it is necessary to deposit their shares and securities in
the exchange's account in case of sale and in case of purchase the amount is paid to the exchange
by the investor through their broker.
If any broker / client fails to deposit their shares in the exchange upto the time of pay in of
securities then those shares would be treated as shortage or short delivery.

In case of short delivery shortage is recovered by on-line auction on T+2 day.If


securities are not available in the on-line auction on T+2 day within the prescribed price limit
then the transaction is closed out as per the rules and norms of the exchange.

At the time of auction of short delivery the loss is borne by the defaulter broker and if
profit is earned by auction then that profit is deposited in Investor Protection Endowment Fund
account of the exchange .On T+3 day the settlement of auction delivery is done, therefore
clearing house plays a significant role in the trading of shares/securities.

A BRIEF NOTE ON AUCTIONS & CLOSE OUT CARRIED OUT AT


EXCHANGE

If securities are not available in online auction on T + 2 day within the prescribed price limit ( i.e
25% of the current market rate) , then the transaction is closed out as per the standard procedures
specified by SEBI.

“ The close out price will be the highest price recorded in that scrip on the exchange in the
settlement in which the concerned contract was entered into and up to the date of auction / close
out.

OR

20% above the official close price on which auction offers are called for ( and in the event of
there being no such closing price on that day , then the official closing price on the immediately
preceding trading day on which there was an official closing price).
WHICHEVER IS HIGHER “

Since in the rolling settlement the auction and the close outtakes place during trading hours
hence the reference price in the rolling settlement for the close out procedure would be taken as
the latest available closing price at the exchange.

As per SEBI letter no.SMD / POLICY / CIR- 08 / 2002 dated 16th April 2002 that in cases of
close out to the extent of short delivery if the shares cannot be acquired in auction or cum basis
then the mark – up price would be 10% instead of 20%
