The call money market is an integral part of the Indian Money Market, where the day-to-day surplus funds (mostly of banks) are traded. The loans are of shortterm duration varying from 1 to 14 days. The money that is lent for one day in this market is known as "Call Money", and if it exceeds one day (but less than 15 days) it is referred to as "Notice Money".

(T-bills) are the most marketable money market security. They are issued with three-month, six-month and one-year maturities. T-bills are purchased for a price that is less than their par(face) value; when they mature, the government pays the holder the full par value. T-Bills are so popular among money market instruments because of affordability to the individual investors.

Banks, Primary Dealers, State Governments, Provident Funds, Financial Institutions, Insurance Companies, NBFCs, FIIs (as per prescribed norms), NRIs & OCBs can invest in T-Bills. All these are issued at a discount-to-face value. For example a Treasury bill of Rs. 100.00 face value issued for Rs. 91.50 gets redeemed at the end of it's tenure at Rs. 100.00.

CP is a short term unsecured loan issued by a corporation typically financing day to day operation. CP is very safe investment because the financial situation of a company can easily be predicted over a few months. Only company with high credit rating issues CPs.

Repo is a form of overnight borrowing and is used by those who deal in government securities. They are usually very short term repurchases agreement, from overnight to 30 days of more. The short term maturity and government backing usually mean that Repos provide lenders with extremely low risk. Repos are safe collateral for loans.

A bankers acceptance (BA) is a short-term credit investment created by a non-financial firm. BAs are guaranteed by a bank to make payment. Acceptances are traded at discounts from face value in the secondary market. BA acts as a negotiable time draft for financing imports, exports or other transactions in goods. This is especially useful when the credit worthiness of a foreign trade partner is unknown.

The money market specializes in debt securities that mature in less than one year. Money market securities are very liquid, and are considered very safe. As a result, they offer a lower return than other securities. The easiest way for individuals to gain access to the money market is through a money market mutual fund. T-bills are short-term government securities that mature in one year or less from their issue date. T-bills are considered to be one of the safest investments.

A certificate of deposit (CD) is a time deposit with a bank. CDs are safe, but the returns aren't great, and your money is tied up for the length of the CD. Commercial paper is an unsecured, short-term loan issued by a corporation. Returns are higher than T-bills because of the higher default risk. Bankers acceptance (BA) are negotiable time draft for financing transactions in goods. Repurchase agreement (repos) are a form of overnight borrowing backed by government securities.

Instruments of Monetary Policy

I. Quantitative Tools
Bank Rate Policy It refers to rate at which the central bank (i.e. RBI) rediscounts bills and prepares of commercial banks or provides advance to commercial banks against approved securities. Open Market Operations- It refers to the purchase and/or sale of short term and long term securities by the RBI in the open market. The OMO is used to wipe out shortage of money in the money market Variations in Reserve Ratios- SLR & CRR -RBI increases VRR during the inflation to reduce the purchasing power and credit creation. But during the recession or depression it lowers the VRR making more cash reserves available for credit expansion.

2. Qualitative Tools
Prescription of margin requirements- It refers to the "proportion of the loan amount which is not financed by the bank". Or in other words, it is that part of a loan which a borrower has to raise in order to get finance for his purpose. Consumer credit regulation - RBI fixes the quota of credit for commercial banks. It means at maximum, how much volume of money a commercial bank can grant as loan for a particular activity. Thus by increasing this quota RBI can increase the credit supply in an economy and by decreasing quota RBI can restrict credit supply.

Moral suasion- It means persuasion and request. To arrest inflationary situation RBI persuades and request the commercial banks to refrain from giving loans for non-essential purposes. On the other hand, to counteract deflation central bank persuades the commercial banks to extend credit for different purposes.

Direct action -This method is adopted when a commercial bank

does not co-operate the central bank in achieving its desirable objectives. Direct action may take any of the following forms: Central banks may charge a penal rate of interest over and above the bank rate upon the defaulting banks; Central bank may refuse to rediscount the bills of those banks which are not following its directives; Central bank may refuse to grant further accommodation to those banks whose borrowings are in excess of their capital and reserves.

The

market where investment instruments like bonds, equities and mortgages are traded is known as the capital market.

Investment in long term financial instruments is accompanied by high capital market risks. Since there are two types of capital marketsthe stock market and the bond market. So risks are present in both the market.

Stock prices keep fluctuating over a wide range unlike the bank deposits or government bonds.

The

efficient market hypothesis shows the effect of fundamental factors in changing the price of the stock market.

Efficient Market Hypothesis shows that all price movements are random whereas there are plenty of studies that reflect the fact that there is a specific trend in the stock market prices over a period of time. has shown that there are certain psychological factors that shape the stock market prices.

The

stock market prices can be diverted in any direction in response to press releases, rumors and mass panic. The stock market prices are also subject to speculation. In the short run the stock market prices may be very volatile due to the occurrences of the fast market changing events.

 Capital

market risk in the bond market arises due to interest rate changes. There is an inverse relationship existing between the interest rate and the price of the bond. the bond prices are sensitive to the monetary policy of the country as well as economic changes.
