Introduction of Stock Market

Indian Stock Markets are one of the oldest in Asia. Its history dates back to nearly 200 years ago. The earliest records of security dealings in India are meager and obscure. The East India Company was the dominant institution in those days and business in its loan securities used to be transacted towards the close of the eighteenth century. By 1830's business on corporate stocks and shares in Bank and Cotton presses took place in Bombay. Though the trading list was broader in 1839, there were only half a dozen brokers recognized by banks and merchants during 1840 and 1850. The 1850's witnessed a rapid development of commercial enterprise and brokerage business attracted many men into the field and by 1860 the number of brokers increased into 60. In 1860-61 the American Civil War broke out and cotton supply from United States of Europe was stopped; thus, the 'Share Mania' in India begun. The number of brokers increased to about 200 to 250. However, at the end of the American Civil War, in 1865, a disastrous slump began (for example, Bank of Bombay Share which had touched Rs 2850 could only be sold at Rs. 87). In 1887, they formally established in Bombay, the "Native Share and Stock Brokers' Association" (which is alternatively known as "The Stock Exchange"). In 1895, the Stock Exchange acquired a premise in the same street and it was inaugurated in 1899. Thus, the Stock Exchange at Bombay was consolidated.
Thus in the same way, gradually with the passage of time number of exchanges were increased and at currently it reached to the figure of 24 stock exchanges.
TRANSACTION CYCLE:
Decision to trade
Placing Order
Funds or Securitie s
Transaction Cycle
Trade Execution
Settlement of trades
Clearing of Trades
A person holding assets (Securities/Funds), either to meet his liquidity needs or to reshuffle his holdings in response to changes in his perception about risk and return of the assets, decides to buy or sell the securities. He selects a broker and instructs him to place buy/sell order on an exchange. The order is converted to a trade as
soon as it finds a matching sell/buy order. At the end of the trade cycle, the trades are netted to determine the obligations of the trading members securities/funds as per settlement cycle. Buyer/seller delivers funds/ securities and receives securities/funds and acquires ownership of the securities. A securities transaction cycle is presented above. Just because of this Transaction cycle, the whole business of Securities and Stock Broking has emerged. And as an extension of stock broking, the business of Online Stock broking/ Online Trading/ E-Broking has emerged. At the end of the American Civil War, the brokers who thrived out of Civil War in 1874, found a place in a street (now appropriately called as Dalal Street) where they would conveniently assemble and transact business. In 1887, they formally established in Bombay, the "Native Share and Stock Brokers' Association" (which is alternatively known as The Stock Exchange "). In 1895, the Stock Exchange acquired a premise in the same street and it was inaugurated in 1899. Thus, the Stock Exchange at Bombay was consolidated. HISTORY OF ONLINE TRADING:
Online stock trading is very old concept for big institutions who trade thru private networks owned by Reuter's "Instinet" and a system called "Posit" since 1969. But it becomes internet based for lay men only in late 90s.
Funny, that actually idea was first time used by a company making Beer called "WIT beer" to help its shareholders trade its shares. Thats how "WIT Capital" was born which is considered pioneer of this concept. It was made mainstream and household name by a offshoot of Charles Schwab & Co called eSchwab which is used by millions of people in USA. Lot of NRI's i know play in US stock market even when they come to India for holidays via website of eSchwabe.
There are other serious players like E*trade, DATEK online etc. All this companies ask you to start account with US $5000 and you can buy and sell stock using these funds. They also issue you a check book which you can use to make payments from this account. Or use their ATM card to withdraw cash from your stock trading account.
Today practically every big name brokerage firm offers online stock trading as it reduces their costs. Earlier they had army of brokers on phone with clients executing trade, which is done by computers accepting orders from clients directly. This firm now offers human access to high net worth accounts, and to rest at charge per trade.
E- Broking - A small beginning:
You have some money to dabble with. Trading shares on BSE/NSE has always been your dream. When will you ever find the time? And besides, the hassle of finding a broker is not easy. Realizing there is untapped market of investors who want to be able to execute their own trades when it suits them, brokers have taken their trading rooms to the Internet. Known as online brokers, they allow you to buy and sell shares via Internet.
There are 2 types of online trading service: discount brokers and full service online broker. Discount online brokers allow you to trade via Internet at reduced rates. Some provide quality research, other dont. Full service online brokerage is linked to existing brokerages. These brokers allow their clients to place online orders with the option of talking/ chatting to brokers if advice is needed. Brokerage rates here are higher. 5Paisa.com, ICICIDirect.com, IndiaBulls.com, Sharekhan.com, Geojit securities.com, HDFCsec.com, Tatatdw.com,
Kotakstreet.com are some of the online broking sites in India. With Net trading in securities and rapid consolidation between multiple stock exchanges, the international securities marketplace is fast becoming a "global village" through the creation of a universal virtual equity market.
Compared to the Western countries, online trading is still in its infancy in India. With trading turnover at around Rs. 10 crores per day from online trading compared to a combined gross turnover of around Rs. 9000-10,000 crores handled by the BSE and NSE together, online trading has a long way to go.
INTERNET TRADING IN INDIA: In the past, investors had no option but to contact their broker to get real time access to market data. The Net brings data to the investor on line and net broking enables him to trade on a click. Now information has become easily accessible to both retail as well as big investors.
The development of broking in India can be categorized in 3 phases: 1. Stock brokers offering on their sites features such as live portfolio manager, live quotes, market research and news to attract more investors. 2. Brokers offering on line broking and relationship management by providing and offering analysis and information to investors during broking and non-broking hours based on their profile and needs, that is, customized services. 3. Brokers (now e-brokers) will offer value management or services such as initial public offerings on line, asset allocation, portfolio management, financial planning, tax planning, insurance services and enable the investors to take better and wellconsidered decisions.
In the US, 82 per cent of the deals are done on line. The European on line broking market is expected to be of $8 billions and is likely to raise five fold by 2002. In India, presently Internet trading can take place through the order routing system,
which will route client orders to exchanges trading systems for execution of trades on stock exchanges (NSE and BSE). This will also require interface with banks to facilitate instant cash debit or credit and the depository system for debit or credit of securities.
OBJECTIVES OF INTERNET TRADING Increase transparency in the markets. Enhance market quality through improved liquidity, by increasing quote continuity and market depth. Reduce settlement risks due to open trades, by elimination of mismatches. Provide management information system (MIS). Introduce flexibility in system, to handle growing volumes easily and to support nationwide expansion of market activity. Besides, through Internet trading three fundamental objectives of securities regulation can be easily achieved, these are: Investor protection, creation of a fair and efficient market and, reduction of the systematic risks.
Other leading cities in stock market operations:

Ahmedabad gained importance next to Bombay with respect to cotton textile industry. After 1880, many mills originated from Ahmedabad and rapidly forged ahead. As new mills were floated, the need for a Stock Exchange at Ahmedabad was realized and in 1894 the brokers formed "The Ahmedabad Share and Stock Brokers' Association". What the cotton textile industry was to Bombay and Ahmedabad, the jute industry was to Calcutta. Also tea and coal industries were the other major industrial groups in Calcutta. After the Share Mania in 1861-65, in the 1870's there was a sharp boom in jute shares, which was followed by a boom in tea shares in the 1880's and 1890's; and a coal boom between 1904 and 1908. On June 1908, some leading brokers formed "The Calcutta Stock Exchange Association". In the beginning of the twentieth century, the industrial revolution was on the way in India with the Swadeshi Movement; and with the inauguration of the Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited in 1907, an important stage in industrial advancement under Indian enterprise was reached.Indian cotton and jute textiles, steel, sugar,
paper and flour mills and all companies generally enjoyed phenomenal prosperity, due to the First World War. In 1920, the then demure city of Madras had the maiden thrill of a stock exchange functioning in its midst, under the name and style of "The Madras Stock Exchange" with 100 members. However, when boom faded, the number of members stood reduced from 100 to 3, by 1923, and so it went out of existence. In 1935, the stock market activity improved, especially in South India where there was a rapid increase in the number of textile mills and many plantation companies were floated. In 1937, a stock exchange was once again organized in Madras Madras Stock Exchange Association (Pvt) Limited. (In 1957 the name was changed to Madras Stock Exchange Limited). Lahore Stock Exchange was formed in 1934 and it had a brief life. It was merged with the Punjab Stock Exchange Limited, which was incorporated in 1936.
Indian Stock Exchanges - An Umbrella Growth:

The Second World War broke out in 1939. It gave a sharp boom, which was followed by a slump. But, in 1943, the situation changed radically, when India was fully mobilized as a supply base. On account of the restrictive controls on cotton, bullion, seeds and other commodities, those dealing in them found in the stock market as the only outlet for their activities. They were anxious to join the trade and numerous others swelled their number. Many new associations were constituted for the purpose and Stock Exchanges in all parts of the country were floated. The Uttar Pradesh Stock Exchange Limited (1940), Nagpur Stock Exchange Limited (1940) and Hyderabad Stock Exchange Limited (1944) were incorporated. In Delhi two stock exchanges - Delhi Stock and Share Brokers' Association Limited and the Delhi Stocks and Shares Exchange Limited - were floated and later in June 1947, amalgamated into the Delhi Stock Exchange Association Limited.
RANGE OF PRODUCT AND SERVICES:
Market Size: Growth of Online Brokerage market:

In five years of its existence in India, online broking has grown to account for a tenth of the total trading volumes. If the numbers are considered for only the retail segments, the growth is starker. Almost half of the Rs 5,000 crore-6,000 crore daily market volumes on the NSE are accounted for by non-retail entities such as foreign institutional investors, domestic institutions, mutual funds and arbitrage traders. Institutions aren't online customers anyway. Of the rest of the retail segment, current estimates suggest that online broking's reach is close to 30 per cent.
As of September this year, there were 11.7 lakhs Internet trading accounts registered with the NSE, of which roughly 9.5 lakhs are unique users. It's still a small proportion of the estimated 3 crore Internet users in the country. As more surfers take to trading online, analysts expect their number to keep doubling every year until 30-40 per cent of India's overall trades are done online, as is the case in some mature Internet markets like South Korea's.
The Internet's effect here has more to do with the bandwidth it has created for both brokers and clients. Banga, director of India bulls offers an example. "Traders from Ajmer use our online platform. It would otherwise have been prohibitively lossmaking to open a branch there." Thanks to the new channel, volumes are growing faster in the non-metros, where transparency is low in offline trading. "These customers were made to pay higher charges by small brokers, since they weren't aware of the market rates," says Vikash Shankar of Sharekhan.com.That is one of the reasons why more than 60 per cent of Sharekhans online trading turnover comes from non-metros.
Formation of the National Stock Exchange (NSE):

With the liberalization of the Indian economy, it was found inevitable to lift the Indian stock market trading system on par with the international standards. On the basis of the recommendations of high-powered Pherwani Committee, the National
Stock Exchange was incorporated in 1992 by Industrial Development Bank of India, Industrial Credit, and Investment Corporation of India, Industrial Finance Corporation of India, all Insurance Corporations, selected commercial banks and others.
Trading at NSE can be classified under two broad categories:

(a) Wholesale debt market and (b) Capital market. Wholesale debt market operations are similar to money market operations institutions and corporate bodies enter into high value transactions in financial instruments such as government securities, treasury bills, public sector unit bonds, commercial paper, certificate of deposit, etc.
There are two kinds of players in NSE:

(a) Trading members and (b) Participants. Recognized members of NSE are called trading members who trade on behalf of themselves and their clients. Participants include trading members and large players like banks who take direct settlement responsibility. Trading at NSE takes place through a fully automated screen-based trading mechanism, which adopts the principle of an order-driven market. Trading members can stay at their offices and execute the trading, since they are linked through a communication network. The prices at which the buyer and seller are willing to transact will appear on the screen. When the prices match the transaction will be completed and a confirmation slip will be printed at the office of the trading member.
NSE has several advantages over the traditional trading exchanges. They are as follows:

NSE brings an integrated stock market trading network across the nation. Investors can trade at the same price from anywhere in the country since inter-market operations are streamlined coupled with the countrywide access to the securities. Delays in communication, late payments and the malpractices prevailing in the traditional trading mechanism can be done away with greater operational efficiency and informational transparency in the stock market operations, with the support of total computerized network.
Unless stock markets provide professionalized service, small investors and foreign investors will not be interested in capital market operations. And capital market being one of the major sources of long-term finance for industrial projects, India cannot afford to damage the capital market path. In this regard NSE gains vital importance in the Indian capital market system.
Why people trust NSE? Unbiased:

The National Stock Exchange of India (NSEIL) has been trusted by the securities markets for its unbiased independence and professionalism. The function of forecasting has become more meaningful as the information comes from a source, which is not only reliable but has no vested interest of its own in the market movements.
Market Representation:
NSE-MIBID/MIBOR is based on rates polled by NSE from a representative panel of 31 banks/institutions/primary dealers.
Transparent:
The reference rate is released to all the market participants simultaneously through various media, making it transparent with the aspiration of the market. Ensuing transparency helps the market participants to judge the market mood and the
probable rate one is likely to encounter in the market. This information is useful not only to the banks but also to the issuers and investors.
Reliable:
The high level of co-relation between actual deals and the reference rate gives an indication of its reliability. The bootstrapping technique guards against the possibility of cartelization and of extreme observations influencing the mean
Scientifically Computed:
The methodology of "Polling" with "Bootstrapping" is scientific and the values are generated through a system that has been extensively tested. The technique involves generating multiple data sets based on the rates polled with a dynamically determined number of iterations, identification of outliers, trimming the data set of its extreme values and computation of the mean and its standard deviation.
Elimination of Noise:
The trimming procedure is vulnerable to market manipulation of the rates due to the amount of sampling noise. Excessive trimming may lead to loss of information whereas no trimming may lead to excessive influence of the extreme values. To derive a true representative benchmark for the market NSE ensures that trimming at any point does not exclude more than 20% of the observation for the bid and for the ask rates.
Consistency:
The Exchange ensures that everyday the NSE-MIBID/MIBOR along with the respective standard deviations are disseminated to the market at 0955 (IST) for overnight rate and at 1215 (IST) for 14 day, 1 month and 3 month rates.
Usage:
The NSE-MIBID/MIBOR rate is used as a bench mark rate for majority of deals struck for Interest Rate Swaps, Forward Rate Agreements, Floating Rate Debentures and Term Deposits.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths:
It is a pioneer in online trading with a turn over of Rs.400crores and more than 800 peoples working in the organization. SSKI the parent company of Share Khan has more than eight decades of trust and credibility in the Indian stock market. In the Asian Money Brokers poll SSKI won the Indias best broking house for 2004 award.
Share Khan provides multi-channel access to all its customers through a strong online presence with www.sharekhan.com, 250 share shops in 130 cities and a call-center based Dial-n-Trade facility
Share Khan has dedicated research teams for fundamental and technical research. Which constantly track the pulse of the market and provide timely investment advice free of cost to its clients which has a strike rate of 70-80%.
Weakness:
Localized presence due to insufficient investments for country wide expansion. Lack of awareness among customers because of non-aggressive promotional strategies (print media, newspapers, etc). Lesser emphasis on customer retention.
Focuses more on HNIs than retail investors which results in meager market-share as compared to close competitors.
Opportunities:
With the booming capital market it can successfully launch new services and raise its clients base. It can easily tap the retail investors with small saving through promotional channels like print media, electronic media, etc.
As interest on fixed deposits with post office and banks are all time low, more and more small investors are entering into stock market.
Abolition of long term capital gain tax on shares and reduction in short term capital gain is making stock market as hot destination for investment among small investors.
Increasing usage of internet through broadband connectivity may boost a whole new breed of investors for trading in securities.
Threats:
Aggressive promotional strategies by close competitors may hamper Share Khans acceptance by new clients. Lack of sufficient branch-offices for speedy delivery of services. Other players are providing margin funds to investors on easy terms where as there is no such facility in share khan. More and more players are venturing into this domain which can further reduce the earnings of Share Khan.
DISCUSSION ON TRAINING
Students work profile(role and responsibilities) :
I worked there with SHAREKHAN LTD. with a profile of sales trainee. This profile offers me to understand the need of customer and provide them the best deal possible with maximization of the profit, both for the company as well as for the customer.
The most important aspect for the role of trainee is trust. So far fulfillment of the targets one needs to:
Capitalize on the old and loyal clientage which can be building slowly by advising people in the best possible way. Generating new leads through various activities.
Generation of leads :
Since I was new in the field so I had to start from scratch and generate new leads to sustain in the market.
Cold calling is one of the trusted ways of getting to the customers without meeting them. Although the rate of conversion remained very less, for cold calling the quality and accent remains a very important criterion. This activity gives me mixed result. I often got success and generated many leads through it but it also landed me in awkward position where the customer were in different mood and made us hear words for which a marketer should be always prepared to hear. Corporate calls always remained more difficult to crack with respect to retail sector.
The corporate were the most difficult and most temping to get the business from. It took me one one day to crack Hi-tech Gears. At SHAREKHAN LTD. after getting the product knowledge in the first week at the branch I was also allotted distributor to work with. In the initial phase I was accompanied by more experienced staff. After I became known to the market and procedure I started attending calls alone only.
After the third week my performance also improved and I was able to get close to the targets, though it looked difficult to achieve in the beginning. To get awareness of the every product I attended diversified calls. This helped me to implement cross selling to get better results.
LIMITATIONS:
Cold Calling:
1.
Voice and accent plays a major role.
The right time to call a customer cannot be decided, as the customer may in a different mood at the time of calling.
Time consuming
Less success rate
2. Corporate:
Time consuming
Contacts with higher authorities play a major role
Description of live experience :

I was supposed to use the database provided by the company to make cold calls or by directly meeting people to get new leads.
While making cold calls, we need to have:
Good Communication Skills (Voice quality is clear and articulate)
Persistent and able to bounce back from rejection
Good organizational skills.
Ability to project a telephone personality (Enthusiasm, friendliness)
Flexibility: can adapt to different types of clients and new situations.
Using a good database is very essential.
Eighty percent of our business comes from 20 percent of our customers" is a frequent statement at any sales convention. There's hardly a sales executive who is not aware of the 80/20 rule.
While talking to customers, I analyze their needs. Whether they want to go for investment purpose or insurance or both. Suggest them the plan that best suits them. If they agree to it then either we send across the agents to close the deal or close it themselves.
Problems faced while selling products: Customer dissatisfied with the services. People fear that Sharekhan Being a Private company and a new entrant may be able to sustain or not. Past experience, word of mouth. Misguidance by agents. People do not want insurance products. Lack of knowledge and less awareness about demat account.
People risk appetite is very low, so they are afraid of mutual fund as well.
Share khan Demat Accounts Overview of Demat Account :

Demat account allows you to buy, sell and transact shares without the endless paperwork and delays. It is also safe, secure and convenient. In India, a demat account, the abbreviation for dematerialized account, is a type of banking account which dematerializes paper-based physical stock shares. The dematerialized account is used to avoid holding physical shares: the shares are bought and sold through a stock broker. This account is popular in India. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) mandates a demat account for share trading above 500 shares. As of April 2006, it became mandatory that any person holding a demat account should possess a Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the deadline for submission of PAN details to the depository lapsed on January 2007.
Is a demat account a must?

Now a day, practically all trades have to be settled in dematerialized form. Although the market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has allowed trades of up to 500 shares to be settled in physical form, nobody wants physical shares any more. So a demat account is a must for trading and investing.
Why demat?
The demat account reduces brokerage charges, makes pledging/hypothecation of shares easier, enables quick ownership of securities on settlement resulting in increased liquidity, avoids confusion in the ownership title of securities, and provides easy receipt of public issue allotments. It also helps you avoid bad deliveries caused by signature mismatch, postal delays and loss of certificates in transit. Further, it eliminates risks associated with forgery, counterfeiting and loss due to fire, theft or mutilation. Demat account holders can also avoid stamp duty (as against 0.5 per cent payable on physical shares), avoid filling up of transfer deeds, and obtain quick receipt of such benefits as stock splits and bonuses.
What is dematerialization?
Dematerialization is the process by which physical certificates of an investor are converted to an equivalent number of securities in electronic form and credited into the investors account with his/her DP.
Why DEMAT a/c likes a BANK a/c?

Just as you have to open an a/c with a bank if you want to save your money, make cheque payments etc, you need to open a demat a/c if you want to buy or sell stocks. So it just like a bank a/c where actual money replaced by shares. Example : lets say your portfolio has 100 of SATYAM, 200 of IBM and 120 of TCS shares. All these will show in youre a/c. so you dont have to possess any physical certificate that you own these shares. They all are held electronically in youre a/c.
Steps involved in opening a demat account :

First an investor has to approach a DP and fill up an account opening form. The account opening form must be supported by copies of any one of the approved documents to serve as proof of identity (POI) and proof of address (POA) as specified by SEBI. Besides, production of PAN card in original at the time of opening of account has been made mandatory effective from April 01, 2006.
All applicants should carry original documents for verification by an authorized official of the depository participant, under his signature.
Further, the investor has to sign an agreement with DP in a depository prescribed standard format, which details rights and duties of investor and DP. DP should provide the investor with a copy of the agreement and schedule of charges for their future reference. The DP will open the account in the system and give an account number, which is also called BO ID (Beneficiary Owner Identification number). The DP may revise the charges by giving 30 days notice in advance. SEBI has rationalized the cost structure for dematerialization by removing account opening charges, transaction charges for credit of securities, and custody charges vide circular dated January 28, 2005.
Further, SEBI has vide circular dated November 09, 2005 advised that with effect from January 09, 2006, no charges shall be levied by a depository on DP and consequently, by a DP on a Beneficiary Owner (BO) when a BO transfers all the securities lying in his account to another branch of the same DP or to another DP of the same depository or another depository, provided the BO Account/s at transferee DP and at transferor DP are one and the same, i.e. identical in all respects.
In case the BO Account at transferor DP is a joint account, the BO Account at transferee DP should also be a joint account in the same sequence of ownership.
Rights:
1. You can open more than one depository account in the same name with single DP/ multiple DPs.
2. No minimum balance is required to be maintained in a depository account.
3. You can give a onetime standing instruction to your DP to receive all the credits coming to your depository account automatically.

What is a Depository?
A depository is an organisation which holds securities of investors in electronic form at the request of the investors through a registered Depository Participant. It also provides services related to transactions in securities.
SEBI registered depositorys :NSDL :- National securities depository limited CDSL :- Central depository services limited Minimum net worth required for a depository is 100 crores
NSDL:
Although India had a vibrant capital market, which is more than a century old, the paper-based settlement of trades caused substantial problems like bad delivery and delayed transfer of title till recently. The enactment of Depositories Act in August 1996 paved the way for establishment of NSDL, the first depository in India. This depository promoted by institutions of national stature responsible for economic development of the country has since established a national infrastructure of international standard that handles most of the trading and settlement in dematerialized form in Indian capital market. Using innovative and flexible technology systems, NSDL works to support the investors and brokers in
the capital market of the country. NSDL aims at ensuring the safety and soundness of Indian marketplaces by developing settlement solutions that increase efficiency, minimize risk and reduce costs. At NSDL, we play a quiet but central role in developing products and services that will continue to nurture the growing needs of the financial services industry. In the depository system, securities are held in depository accounts, which is more or less similar to holding funds in bank accounts. Transfer of ownership of securities is done through simple account transfers. This method does away with all the risks and hassles normally associated with paperwork. Consequently, the cost of transacting in a depository environment is considerably lower as compared to transacting in certificates.
DEPOSITORY PARTICIPANTS:
A Depository Participant (DP) is described as an agent of the depository. They are the intermediaries between the depository and the investors. The relationship between the DPs and the depository is governed by an agreement made between the two under the Depositories Act. In a strictly legal sense, a DP is an entity that is registered as such with SEBI under the provisions of the SEBI Act. As per the provisions of this Act, a DP can offer depository-related services only after obtaining a certificate of registration from SEBI. SEBI (D&P) Regulations, 1996 prescribe a minimum net worth of Rs.50 lakh for stockbrokers, R&T agents and non-banking finance companies (NBFC), for granting them a certificate of registration to act as DPs. If a stockbroker seeks to act as a DP in more than one depository, he should comply with the specified net worth criterion separately for each such depository. No minimum net worth criterion has been prescribed for other categories of DPs. However, depositories can fix a higher net worth criterion for their DPs. NSDL requires a minimum net worth of Rs.100 lakh to be eligible to become a DP as against Rs.50 lakh prescribed by SEBI (D&P) Regulations.
Instruments :
The changes in the regulatory framework of the capital market and fiscal policies have also resulted in newer kinds of financial instruments (securities) being introduced in the market. Also, a lot of financial innovation by companies who are
now permitted to undertake treasury operations has resulted in newer kinds of instruments - all of which can be traded being introduced. The variations in all these instruments depend on the tenure, the nature of security, the interest rate, the collateral security offered and the trading features, etc Debentures Bonds Preference Share Equity Shares Government securities Capital Market Processes Initial Public Offering (IPO) Private Placement Preferential Offer/Rights Issue Private Placement
Benefits of Depository System:

In the depository system, the ownership and transfer of securities takes place by means of electronic book entries. At the outset, this system rids the capital market of the dangers related to handling of paper. NSDL provides numerous direct and indirect benefits, like:
Elimination of bad deliveries
In the depository environment, once holdings of an investor are dematerialized, the question of bad delivery does not arise i.e. they cannot be held "under objection". In the physical environment, buyer was required to take the risk of transfer and face uncertainty of the quality of assets purchased. In a depository environment good money certainly begets good quality of assets.
Elimination of all risks associated with physical certificates
Dealing in physical securities have associated security risks of theft of stocks, mutilation of certificates, loss of certificates during movements through and from the registrars, thus exposing the investor to the cost of obtaining duplicate certificates and advertisements, etc. This problem does not arise in the depository environment.
No stamp duty
For transfer of any kind of securities in the depository. This waiver extends to equity shares, debt instruments and units of mutual funds.
Immediate transfer and registration of Securities

In the depository environment, once the securities are credited to the investors account on pay out, he becomes the legal owner of the securities. There is no further need to send it to the company's registrar for registration. Having purchased securities in the physical environment, the investor has to send it to the company's registrar so that the change of ownership can be registered. This process usually takes around three to four months and is rarely completed within the statutory framework of two months thus exposing the investor to opportunity cost of delay in transfer and to risk of loss in transit. To overcome this, the normally accepted practice is to hold the securities in street names i.e. not to register the change of ownership. However, if the investors miss a book closure the securities are not good for
delivery and the investor would also stand to loose his corporate entitlements.
Faster settlement cycle

The exclusive demat segments follow rolling settlement cycle of T+2 i.e. the settlement of trades will be on the 2nd working day from the trade day. This will enable faster turnover of stock and more liquidity with the investor.
Faster disbursement of non-cash corporate benefits like rights, bonus, etc.
NSDL provides for direct credit of non-cash corporate entitlements to an investors account, thereby ensuring faster disbursement and avoiding risk of loss of certificates in transit.
Reduction in brokerage by many brokers for trading in dematerialized securities
Brokers provide this benefit to investors as dealing in dematerialized securities reduces their back office cost of handling paper and also eliminates the risk of being the introducing broker.
Reduction in handling of huge volumes of paper Periodic status reports to investors on their holdings and transactions, leading to better controls.
Elimination of problems related to change of address of investor, transmission, etc

In case of change of address or transmission of demat shares, investors are saved from undergoing the entire change procedure with each company or registrar. Investors have to only inform their DP with all relevant documents and the required changes are effected in the database of all the companies, where the investor is a registered holder of securities.
Elimination of problems related to selling securities on behalf of a minor
A natural guardian is not required to take court approval for selling demat securities on behalf of a minor.
Ease in portfolio monitoring
Since statement of account gives a consolidated position of investments in all instruments.

Demat account has become a necessity for all categories of investors for the following reasons/ benefits:
SEBI has made it compulsory for trades in almost all scrips to be settled in Demat mode. Although, trades up to 500 shares can be settled in physical form, physical settlement is virtually not taking place for the apprehension of bad delivery on
account of mismatch of signatures, forgery of signatures, fake certificates, etc.
It is a safe and convenient way to hold securities compared to holding securities in physical form..
No stamp duty is levied on transfer of securities held in Demat form.
Instantaneous transfer of securities enhances liquidity.
It eliminates delays, thefts, interceptions and subsequent misuse of certificates.

Change of name, address, registration of power of attorney, deletion of deceased's name, etc. - can be affected across companies by one single instruction to the DP.
Each share is a market lot for the purpose of transactions - so no odd lot problem. Any number of securities can be transferred/delivered with one delivery order. Therefore, paperwork and signing of multiple transfer forms is done away with. It facilitates taking advances against securities on low margin/low interest.
Points To Remember
1. You may choose your DP based on your evaluation of their reputation, service standards, charges, other conveniences, etc.
2. Open depository account with the same holding pattern as there on existing physical securities. You will need to open separate accounts for every different combination of holding pattern. Eg.: If 100 securities of company ABC & 200 securities of company PQR are registered in the name of X as first holder & Y as second holder, one account in name of X as first holder & Y as second holder is sufficient. Whereas, if 100 securities of company ABC are registered in the name of X as first holder & Y as second holder & 200 securities of company PQR are registered in the name of Y as first holder & X as second holder, you will need to open two accounts, one in the name of X as first holder & Y as second holder and the second in the name of Y as first holder and X as second holder.
3. Account opening procedure should typically take 2-5 days.

4. In case of holdings of a partnership firm, the account should be opened in the name of the partner(s).
5. In case of holdings of a HUF, the account should be opened in the name of the Karta.
6. In case of a minor, the depository account should be opened in the name of the minor and the guardians name should be mentioned. The guardian will sign as signatory on behalf of the minor. For selling the securities of the minor, a court order should be obtained.
7. In case of any difficulties, contact your DP.
Only securities admitted by NSDL can be dematerialized. The list is available with your DP. 9. Only securities registered in the name of the account holder can be dematerialized.
8.
10. Dematerialization is normally completed within 15 days after the share certificates have reached the issuer/their R&T Agent. Thus it may take you a month from the date you hand over shares, to receive demat credit.
11. Dematerialization would be done only when the issuer / their R&T Agent is satisfied of genuineness of securities & ownership status
12.
All the joint holders should sign the DRF.
13. The pattern of holding in the DRF should match the pattern of holding on the share certificate & the pattern in which account is opened.
14. Demat requests with name(s) not matching exactly with the name(s) appearing on the certificates merely on account of initials not being spelt out fully or put after or prior to the surname, would be processed, provided the signature(s) of the client(s) on the DRF tallies with the specimen signature(s) available with the issuer/ their R & T agent.
15. If the signature in the DRF does not match with the signature available with the issuer/ their R & T agent, the issuer/ their R & T agent may at the time of demat confirmation, ask for additional documentation (like bank attestation/ notarization, etc.) to prove that the certificate belongs to the person who forwarded the DRF.
16. In case there is any problem in processing the DRF, contact your DP and if he cannot resolve the problem you may contact NSDL.

Buying and Selling of Dematerialization

INTRODUCTION:
The procedure for buying and selling dematerialized securities is similar to the procedure for buying and selling physical securities. The difference lies in the process of delivery (in case of sale) and receipt (in case of purchase) of securities.
In case of purchase:
The broker will receive the securities in his account on the payout day.
The broker will give instruction to its DP to debit his account and credit investors account.
Investor will give Receipt Instruction to DP for receiving credit by filling appropriate form. However one can give standing instruction for credit in to ones accounts that will obviate the need of giving Receipt Instruction every time.
In case of sale:-
The investor will give delivery instruction to DP to debit his account and credit the brokers account. Such instruction should reach the DPs office at least 24 hours before the pay-in as otherwise DP will accept the instruction only at the investors risk.
Rights
1. Dematerialized securities can be traded on those stock exchanges connected to NSDL. At present, NSE, BSE, CSE, DSE, LSE, BGSE, OTCEI, MSE, ISE & ASE are connected to NSDL. At these stock exchanges, two segments would be available to trade in dematerialized securities :
Unified (erstwhile physical) segment - In this segment delivery
obligation can be met by delivering dematerialized or physical securities at the option of the seller. However, for a select list of securities prescribed by SEBI, securities cannot be delivered in physical form in the unified segment, of stock exchanges connected to NSDL. This list presently covers 160 securities. This list has been expanded to cover a total of 200 securities with effect from January 17, 2000. Over a period, this list would cover all actively traded securities.
Exclusive demat segment - In this segment delivery obligation
can be met by delivering dematerialized securities only. Physical securities cannot be delivered in the exclusive demat segment.
Procedure
Trading in dematerialized securities is done through your broker just like trading in physical securities. After your broker executes the trade, your DP will help to deliver shares to your broker (in case you sell) on the basis of valid instruction
given by you to your DP and receive shares from your broker (in case you buy) on basis of valid instruction given by your broker to his DP.

2. Broker arranges payment to clearing corporation/ clearing house of the stock exchange.
3. Broker receives credit in his clearing account with his DP on the pay-out day. He can immediately transfer these securities to your depository account, provided your account is already active.
4. Broker gives instructions to his DP to debit his clearing account and credit your depository account.
5. You give instruction to your DP for receiving credit in your depository account. If you have given standing instruction to receive credits, no separate instruction for receiving credit will be required.
6. If the instructions match, your account with your DP is credited.
Sell dematerialized securities

Points To Remember
1. Trading continues to be through brokers. In case of any problem in execution of trade, contact your broker and if he fails to resolve the problem you may contact the stock exchange.
2. When you buy securities through the stock exchange, your brokers clearing account is credited to the extent of the securities purchased, on receipt of instruction from clearing corporation/ clearing house of the stock exchange. Your depository account is credited only when your broker gives a delivery instruction to his DP. Securities are not directly credited to your account by the clearing corporation/ clearing house of the stock exchange. In case your broker
does not give a delivery instruction, contact him or concerned stock exchange or SEBI. If your depository account is not credited, in spite of your broker giving valid instruction to his DP, contact the DP and if he fails to resolve the same you may contact NSDL.
3. When
you sell securities, you have to give a delivery instruction to your DP to transfer the securities to your brokers clearing account. They are not automatically debited from your account by NSDL or by the clearing corporation/ clearing house of the stock exchange. In case the DP defaults in executing your instruction, the DP is liable to compensate you for the loss incurred, provided your instruction was in order and has been submitted to the DP at least 24 hours i.e. one working day prior to the pay-in date or before the deadline prescribed by DP. In case the DP fails to resolve your problem, you can contact NSDL.
Need for the Study

The need of the study arises because of the reason that a trainee must understand the company, its achievements and tasks, products and services and also to collect information about its competitors, its products and services offered. So that, after understanding and collecting information about the organization and its competitors, a trainee will be able to work well for the organization.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
Research Methodology refers to search of knowledge .one can also define research methodology as a scientific and systematic search for required information on a specific topic. The word research methodology comes from the word advance learner s dictionary meaning of research as a careful investigation or inquiry especially through research for new facts in my branch of knowledge for example some author have define research methodology as systematized effort to gain new knowledge.
Methodology of the project starts with

In the first phase we are trained and they teach us different things about market. After that they conduct a mock viva, in this they ask about the real life problem faced by the customers. They provide leads and after that we make calls. Then after that we have to provide details of product and convince them. Then we have to visit them and get the formed filled from them. Maintaining dairy of clients and contacting them at regular basis. Get the knowledge of technical as well as fundamental methods.
Observe the patterns of the scripts.
Exploratory Research:
Exploratory research is a type of research conducted because a problem has not been clearly defined. Exploratory research helps determine the best research design, data collection method and selection of subjects. Given its fundamental nature, exploratory research often concludes that a perceived problem does not actually exist. Exploratory research often relies on secondary research such as reviewing available literature and/or data, or qualitative approaches such as informal discussions with consumers, employees, management or competitors, and more formal approaches through in-depth interviews, focus groups, projective methods, case studies or pilot studies. The results of exploratory research are not usually useful for decisionmaking by themselves, but they can provide significant insight into a given situation. Although the results of qualitative research can give some indication as to the "why", "how" and "when" something occurs, it cannot tell us "how often" or "how many." Exploratory research is not typically generalizable to the population at large. Research is exploratory when you use no earlier model as a basis of your study. The most usual reason for using this approach is that you have no other choice. Normally you would like to take an earlier theory as a support, but there perhaps is none, or all available models come from wrong contexts. Exploratory research means that hardly anything is known about the matter at the outset of the project. You then have to begin with a rather vague impression of
what you should study, and it is also impossible to make a detailed work plan in advance. Analysis in exploratory research is essentially abstraction and generalization. Abstraction means that you translate the empirical observations, measurements etc. into concepts; generalization means arranging the material so that it disengages from single persons, occurrences etc. and focuses on those structures (invariances) that are common to all or most of the cases. It will seldom be possible to divide exploratory study into such clear phases as is common in the case that the object has been studied earlier. According to Alasuutari (1993 p.22), in qualitative analysis of empirical findings, you can distinguish two phases but these two overlap: simplification of observations interpretation of results (or "solving the enigma") In the simplification phase, the material is inspected from the theoretical point of view of the study project, and only the points relevant from this angle are noted. Details differing from one individual to another at random are omitted or pushed aside so that the general lines of the data can be discerned more easily. Simplification continues by finding the relationships between separate bservations or cases. Some tools for this work are comparison and classification. The goal is to find the general rule or model that is valid in all or most of the observations. This model can be, for example, development or evolution, causality, or a conscious action to attain an outcome which is typical in normative research. -- In any case the analysis starts from separate cases and aspires to create one or a few general models. "Solving the enigma" does not always mean answering exactly those questions that were asked at the outset of the project. Sometimes the most interesting questions are found at the end of the research, when the researcher has become an expert on the subject. It is often said that "data teach the researcher". The purpose of descriptive exploratory research is to extract a structure from the source material which in the best case can be formed as a rule that governs all the
observations and is not known earlier (per the definition of exploratory study). Finding the unknown structure may need some creative innovation, because even the most sophisticated computerized analysis methods cannot automatically uncover which type of structure is concealed in data. Usually you first have to formulate a tentative pattern for the assumed structure in the observations and then you can ask the computer to estimate how well the data corresponds to the model, cf. Tools for Analysis.
METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION

In the project work Primary data secondary data (both) sources of data has been used .
1. Primary data collection:

In dealing with real life problem it is often found that data at hand are inadequate, and hence, it becomes necessary to collect data that is appropriate. There are several ways of collecting the appropriate data which differ considerably in context of money costs, time and other resources at the disposal of the researcher. Primary data can be collected either through experiment or through survey. The data collection for this study was done in the following manner:
Through personal interviews:A rigid procedure was followed and we were seeking answers to many preconceived questions through personal interviews.
Through questionnaire:Information to find out the investment potential and goal was found out through questionnaires.
Through Tele-Calling:Information was also taken through telephone calls.
2. Secondary sources of data:

In the secondary sources of data is used. (Internet , magazine ,books, journals) In research, secondary data is data collected and possibly processed by people other than the researcher in question. Common sources of secondary data for social science include censuses, large surveys, and organizational records. In sociology primary data is data you have collected yourself and secondary data is data you have gathered from primary sources to create new research. In terms of historical research, these two terms have different meanings. A primary source is a book or set of archival records. A secondary source is a summary of a book or set of records.
Secondary data analysis:

There are two different types of sources that need to be established in order to conduct a good analysis. The first type is a primary source which is the initial material that is collected during the research process. Primary data is the data that the researcher is collecting themselves using methods such as surveys,direct observations, interviews, as well as logs(objective data sources). Primary data is a reliable way to collect data because the researcher will know where it came from and how it was collected and analyzed since they did it themselves. Secondary sources on the other hand are sources that are based upon the data that was collected from the primary source. Secondary sources take the role of analyzing, explaining, and combining the information from the primary source with additional information. Secondary data analysis is commonly known as second-hand analysis. It is simply the analysis of preexisting data in a different way or to answer a different question than originally intended. Secondary data analysis utilizes the data that was collected by someone else in order to further a study that you are interested in completing. Common sources of secondary data are social science surveys and data from government
agencies, including the Bureau of the Census, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and various other agencies. The data collected is most often collected via survey research methods. Data from experimental studies may also be used.
Sources of secondary data:

Sources of secondary data may be classified into qualitative and quantitative. Examples of qualitative sources are biographies, memoirs, newspapers, etc. Quantitave sources include published statistics (e.g., census, survey), data archives, market research, etc.[1] Today, with the aid of our internet capabilities, thousands of large scale datasets are at the click of a mouse for secondary data analyst. Globally, there are many sources available. These sources can arrive from the data arranged by governmental and private organizations, to data collected by any social researcher. Secondary data analysis is a growing research tool in our modern day society. Social scientists have the opportunity to explore massive amounts of secondary data. Collecting, reviewing, and analyzing secondary data
The Design and Purpose of Research

Secondary data analysis consists of collecting data that was compiled through research by another person and using that data to get a better understanding of a concept. A good way to begin your research using secondary data that you are collecting to further support your concept is to clearly define the goals of your research and the design that you anticipate using. An important thing to remember when defining your plan is to ensure that you have established what kind of data you plan on using for your research and the exact goal. Establishing what type of research design is an important component. In terms of using secondary data for research it helps to create an outline of what the final product will look like consisting of all the types of data to be used along with a list of sources that were used to compile the research. In order to use secondary data three steps must be completed:
1. locate the data 2. evaluate the data 3. verify the data Locating the data can be easily done with the advancements of searching sources online. However, people need to be aware of the details when searching online since pages can be out of date or poorly put together. Therefore, use caution and pay attention to whether it is a reliable data source online and check when the last update was. To evaluate the data a researcher must carefully examine the secondary data they are considering to ensure that it meets their needs and purpose of study. The person must look at the population and what the sample strategy and type were. It is also important to look at when the data was collected, how it was collected, how it was coded and edited, along with the operational definitions of measures that were used. Finally, the data must be verified to ensure good quality material to be used in new research.
Determining the Types of Data and Information Needed to Conduct Analysis

Data and information collection for secondary data analysis will depend entirely upon the subject that is central to the focal point of the study. The purpose of conducting secondary data analysis is to further develop an improved understanding of the subject matter at hand. Some important types of data and information that should be collected and summarized include demographic information, information gathered by government agencies (i.e. the Census), and social science surveys. There is also the possibility of reanalyzing data that was collected in experimental studies or data collected with qualitative measures that can be applied in secondary data analysis. The most important component is to ensure that the information and data being collected needs to relate to the subject of study.
