INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THE INDUSTRY
The equity broking industry in India has several unique features. It is more than a
century old, dynamic and forward looking, well conversant, highly innovative and
adaptable.
In the last decade, the Indian brokerage industry has undergone a dramatic
transformation. From being made of close groups, the broking industry today is one of
the most transparent and compliance oriented businesses. There have also been major
changes in the way business is conducted. Technology has emerged as the key driver
of business and investment advice has become research based. At the same time,
adherence to regulation and compliance has vastly increased.. Greater need for
capitalization has induced several firms to access the capital market; foreign firms are
showing increasing interest in taking equity stakes in domestic broking firms.
The strength and growth prospects of the industry prompted us to launch the inaugural
edition of this publication, which complements our endeavors to expand the scope of
our research and advisory services to the securities markets in India. It provides an

insight into the Indian broking industry, with a focus on the performance and profiles
of the broking houses.

CONCEPT OF STOCK EXCHANGE

The stock exchanges are the important segment of its capital market. If the stock
exchanges are well regulated and function smoothly, then it is an indicator of healthy
capital market. If the state of the stock exchange is good, the overall capital market will
grow and otherwise it can suffer a great set back which is not good for the country. The
stock market and the capital market are controlled by the government at various stages.
A capital market deals in financial assets, excluding coin and currency. The majority of
financial assets are comprised by banking accounts, Pension and provident funds,
insurance policies, shares and securities.
Financial assets are claim of holders over issuer (business firms and governments).
They enter low different segment of financial market.
Those having short maturities that are non transferable like bank savings and
current accounts set the identification of the monetary financial assets. This market is
known as Money Market. Equity, Preferential shares and bonds and debentures issued

by companies and securities issued by the government constitute the financial assets
which are traded in the capital market.
Both money market and capital market constitute the financial market. Capital market
generally known as stock exchange. This is a institution around which every activity of
national capital market revolves. The stock exchange provides the opportunity to
investors for the continuous trading in securities. It is continuously engaged in the
capital mobilization process.
Another consequence of non existence of stock exchange would have been low saving
of the community, which means low investment and lower development of the country.

Equity

BASICS OF STOCK MARKET

Every business has a lot of assets i.e., machinery, buildings, furniture, stock-in-trade,
cash, etc. It will also have liabilities. This is what the company owes to other people.
Bank loans, money owed to people from whom things have been bought on credit, are
the examples of liabilities.
Take away the liabilities from the total assets and you are left with the capital.

ASSETS LIABILITIES =
CAPITAL

Capital is the amount that the owner has invested in the business. As the business
grows and makes profits, it adds to its capital. This capital is subdivided into shares (or
stocks).If a companys capital is Rs.10crore, that could be divided into 1 crore shares
of Rs.10 each. Part of this capital, or some of the shares, is held by the people who had
started the business (Promoters). Investors hold the other shares. These investors are
people, mutual funds and other institutional investors.
Stocks too have their two major classes or types:
a) Ordinary

b) Preference

Ordinary stocks, also called equity stocks or common stocks, are for the general public
without any prejudice. Equity refers to the ordinary stocks. And thats what concerns us
here because only ordinary stock can be purchased by people and traded on the stock
exchange. Holding equity entitles you to a share of the earnings and the assets of a
company. It means that if a company records profits for a year, investors are entitled to
a share of the profits. The share of the profits or earnings the company decides to give
its investors is called dividend.

MANAGING OF STOCK EXCHANGE

Management of stock exchange is done by an elected body of members. These bodies
are known by different names in different stock exchange. For example, the
BOMBAY, INDORE and AHEMDABAD stock exchange are managed by a
governing board. Council of management governs the MADRAS stock exchange.
A committee manages the CALCUTTA stock exchange.
These governing bodies are powerful bodies enjoying extensive administrative power
of management and control over their respective stock exchange.
Indian Stock Market Overview
Indian stock market comprises of two exchanges
1. National Stock Exchange.
2. Bombay Stock Exchange.

THERE ARE TWO MAIN STOCK EXCHANGE IN INDIA

NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE
BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE
10

NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is India's leading stock exchange covering
various cities and towns across the country. NSE was set up by leading institutions to
provide a modern, fully automated screen-based trading system with national reach.
The Exchange has brought about unparalleled transparency, speed & efficiency, safety
and market integrity. It has set up facilities that serve as a model for the securities
industry in terms of systems, practices and procedures.
NSE has played a catalytic role in reforming the Indian securities market in terms of
microstructure, market practices and trading volumes.

BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE

One of the oldest stock exchanges in India , responsible for approximately one third of
the country's trading volume. Tracing its origins to the 1830s, it is notable for the
Sensex , an index of the 30 most actively traded stocks on its floor that is considered
one of the most important benchmark indices in India. It is also known as Stock
Exchange, Mumbai or Bombay Stock Exchange.

PRODUCT AND SERVICES OF EQUITY MARKET :

Stock Broking
Stock Broking is related to the Secondary Market operations deal with the buying and
selling of shares of companies on the Bombay & National Stock Exchanges for the
clients at the best possible prices along with the recommendations from the input
provided by the Equity Research Cell.

Online Trading
The Internet has played a decisive role in ushering a new era of Net based trading in
the secondary markets. The NSE is in an advanced stage of development of Net
Trading and will be launching this facility soon. The clients and sub brokers can then
directly place the order for their Saudas on the Net routed through this web site and
will be able to get online confirmation of their respective transactions in real time. Net
Surfers can also access the latest price updates of shares on the BSE, NSE web site.
Derivatives trading is an interesting new concept that will allow clients to indulge in
speculation of stock prices for a future date. The Demat mode of holding and trading in
shares has gained in popularity due to its various advantages, such as, no Bad Delivery
12

of shares, negligible time taken for transfer of shares, no Stamp duty of buying of
shares, increased liquidity etc.
Depository Participant
Similar to the brokers who trade on your behalf in and outside the stock exchange; a
Depository Participant (DP) is your representative (agent) in the depository system
providing the link between the Company and you through the Depository. Your
Depository participant will maintain your securities account balances and intimate to
you the status of your holding from time to time. According to SEBI guidelines,
Financial Institutions like banks, custodians, stockbrokers etc. can become participants
in the depository. A DP is one with whom you need to open an account to deal in
electronic form. While the Depository can be compared to a Bank, DP is like a branch
your bank with which you can have an account.

EMERGING FORMS OF EQUITY :

Insurance
In this fast moving world, we want safety of our life and all other things, which are
valuable to us. To protect our life and all such things, we generally go for insurance
under which a fixed amount of premium is paid for an assured sum.
13

Mutual Fund
Mutual Fund investment is that investment under which the company whom operates
mutual fund collects money from the general public and then invests that money in
equity and debt market. Normally mutual fund investment is meant for all those
investors that havent invested yet in any form of market and also prefer regular
income with less risk.
Mutual Funds basically are of two types i.e. Systematic Investment Plan and
monthly Income Plan.
Systematic Investment Plan is that type under which invest is done in the multiple of
500 and minimum invest is of Rs. 500. The exposure of the investment under such
fund is wide in the equity market.
Monthly Income Plan is that plan in which exposure of the investment is wide to the
debt market. It is ideal for those who do not plan to spend time in monitoring the
movement of their investments on a regular basis and are conservative in their
investment style.

CHAPTER 3
CONCEPTUAL DISCUSSION

CAPITAL MARKET
Capital market provides long term capital to the industrial sector for the expenditure on
land, plant and machinery, building etc, which are permanent and used for production.
The long term finance is met by the market.
Capital Market Is Of Two Types
1. Primary capital market.
2. Secondary capital market.
In simple term Primary capital market is called the market of new issues and
secondary capital market is called the market of exiting issues.
1. PRIMARY MARKET
Also termed as new market is concerned with primary issue of securities by enterprises
for their establishment, expansion, modernization and reorganization etc. Primary
market is related to the generation of capital through new issue of shares, debentures
and bonds, where investors may directly apply for the allotment of securities. The
operation of primary market includes :
19

(1) New issue by existing or new company.

(2) Right issue.
(3) Issue of debentures and bonds.
Primary market is considered to be the easiest way through which funds may be
collected for corporate sector. The SEBI has issued certain procedural guideline for the
simplification and standardization of liberation economic policy, the primary market
has shown a tremendous growth in the last few years.
2.

SECONDARY MARKET

It is that market where securities are regularly bought and sold. The primary market is
related with the issues whereas the secondary market relates to the trading of such
securities. The secondary market provides liquidity to the investors. Trading in
secondary market is governed by the bye laws and regulations of the stock exchange
concerned. After the securities are listed on a recognized market these can be freely
transacted through its members. The trading operations are carried for a fixed number
of hours in a trading hall called trading ring. The stock exchange provides necessary
information to the investors. The SEBI has issued various guidelines to regulate and
control the operations of secondary market. There are different types of secondary
markets operating in the country.

HOW DO STOCK GET CREATED?

20

World over, people who start a company usually do not have enough money. So they
look elsewhere and try to rope in others to chip in. They divide the entire capital that
the company needs into a large number of units of easily affordable amounts. For
example, if a company requires a capital of Rs.1 crore, it may divide it into 10 lakh
units of Rs. 10 each. Such units are called stocks and Rs. 10 is known as the par value
of the stock. Thus, anyone with a few hundred rupees to spare can invest in the
company.

IS STOCK AND EQUITY THE SAME THING?

We use equity and stocks interchangeably. Equity refers to ordinary stocks. And thats
what concerns us here because only ordinary stocks can be purchased by individual
investors and traded on the stock exchanges. Stocks again refer to equity. Unless we
mention preference stock, stock is always for the equity stocks.

ROLE PLAYERS IN STOCK EXCHANGE

1. STOCK BROKERS
SEBI registered stock - brokers interested in providing Internet based trading services.
They will be required to apply to the respective stock exchange for a formal
permission. The stock exchange should grant approval or reject the application as the
case may be, and communicate its decision to the member within thirty calendar days
of the date of submitting completed application to the exchange. The stock exchange,
21

before giving permission to brokers to start internet based services shall insure the
fulfillment of the minimum conditions.
Stock brokers are the members of stock exchange. These are the persons who buy, sell
or deal in securities. A certificate of registration from SEBI is mandatory to act as a
broker. SEBI can impose certain conditions while granting the certificate of
registration. It is obligatory for the person to abide by the rules, regulations and the
bye-laws.
2. MARKET MAKERS
Market makers are a designated specialist in the specified securities. They make both
bid and offer at the same time. Bid price means the quoted price at which they would
pay to a prospective seller. Offer or asking price is the price which they would charge
from a prospective buyer. The market makers quotes are binding on them up to a
certain commitment. He is exempt from margin- requirement.
3. PORTFOLIO CONSULTANT
A combination of securities such as socks, bonds and Money Market instruments is
called as portfolio. Whereas the portfolio consultants are the persons or firms or
companies who advise or direct or undertake the management or administration of
securities or funds on behalf of their clients. The portfolio management can be
discretionary or non-discretionary.
22

4. INSTITUTIONL INVESTORS
Institutional investors mean the different investment institutions which mobilize the
savings of the people and invest them in different types of securities Like ICICI, IDBI,
GIC, LIC.

How to make money in stock market ?

There are two modes:
a) Offline Trading
Its simply means going to a broker house placing order on telephone by the
customer by calling on a broker. But, at first one has to open a demat and trading
account with a broker.
b) Online Trading
Internet has changed the way to do trading. The entire process is speedy with
limited to zero paper work. The process of online trading has become seamless.
All that is needed is a PC, a modem, subscription to an Internet Service Provider
(ISP), a saving and a depository account and there is a wide choice of online
trading brokers to choose from.

23

The various transactions involved in online trading can be shown from the
point of view of the:
a) Client
b) Broker
c) Stock Exchange

This can be explained through a diagram:

24

The Client places an order via the net by logging on to his

brokers site.

The Broker accepts and executes the order, and places it

with the exchange.

The broker accepts the order after checking the share limit
for the day.

The Broker makes the payment either directly via the

clients bank account or pays through his own account and
recovers it later from the client.

The exchange receives money and completes the

settlement.

The client is intimated about the settlement either through

the demat account or via e-mail.

CHAPTER 4

IMPACT OF EQUITY MARKET ON INDIAN ECONOMY

Equity market will continue to remain in bearish mood with reduced off-shore flows,
limited domestic appetite due to liquidity pressure and pressure on corporate earnings;
while the inflation would stay under control, increased demand for domestic liquidity
will push interest rates higher and we are likely to witness gradual rupee depreciation
and depleted currency reserves. Overall, while RBI would inject liquidity through
CRR/SLR cuts, maintaining growth beyond 7% will be a struggle.
The banking sector will have the least impact as high interest rates, increased demand
for rupee loans and reduced statutory reserves will lead to improved NIM while, on the
other hand, other income from cross-border business flows and distribution of
investment products will take a hit. Banks with capabilities to generate low cost CASA
and zero cost float funds will gain the most as revenues from financial intermediation
will drive the banks profitability.
Given the dependence on foreign funds and off-shore consumer demand for the
India growth story, India cannot wish away from the negative impact of the present
financial crisis but should quickly focus on alternative remedial measures to limit
damage and look in-wards to sustain growth!

26

Role of capital market during the present crisis:

In addition to resource allocation, capital markets also provided a medium for
risk management by allowing the diversification of risk in the economy. The
well-functioning capital market improved information quality as it played a
major role in encouraging the adoption of stronger corporate governance
principles, thus supporting a trading environment, which is founded on
integrity. Liquid markets make it possible to obtain financing for capital-intensive
projects with long gestation periods..
For a long time, the Indian market was considered too small to warrant much
attention. However, this view has changed rapidly as vast amounts of
international investment have poured into our markets over the last decade.
The Indian market is no longer viewed as a static universe but as a
constantly evolving market providing attractive opportunities to the global
investing community.
Now during the present financial crisis, we saw how capital market stood still
as the symbol of better risk management practices adopted by the Indians.
Though we observed a huge fall in the sensex and other stock market
indicators but that was all due to low confidence among the investors.

27

Because balance sheet of most of the Indian companies listed in the sensex
were reflecting profit even then people kept on withdrawing money.
While there was a panic in the capital market due to withdrawal by the FIIs, we saw
Indian institutional investors like insurance and mutual funds coming for the

rescue

under SEBI guidelines so that the confidence of the investors doesnt go low.
SEBI also came up with various norms including more liberal policies
regarding participatory notes, restricting the exit from close ended mutual
funds etc. to boost the investment.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INVESTING IN

EQUITY SHARES:

ADVANTAGES :-

BONUS SHARES
28

When a person invests in the shares of a good companies , the companies may issue
bonus shares, This will increase the capital holding of the investor. This can also
increase the amount of dividend that a person earns from these bonus shares.
PORTFOLIO
Investing in the shares various companies in the stock market can help to prevent
concentration of funds in similar investment . People might have invest in various
investment avenues. Equity markets also can be one of them as it will help to
diversify the investment of an individual.
DIVIDEND EARNINGS
Many good companies that are listed provides dividend. Some companies provide
more than 6 % in dividend each year. The capital appreciation and other benefits for
the investors along with the dividend can be very rewarding for the investor.

DISADVANTAGES:The benefits of investing in share are many but there are few pitfalls to avoid. These
include:

29

1. Crash in share prices: Due to one reason or the other, sometimes share prices drop so
much. A discerning investor should know what to do at any point in time.
2. Sometimes companies go into liquidation thereby eroding the investments of
ordinary shareholders. For example, some banks in Nigeria that did not meet up with
the N25 billion minimum capitals as directed by the central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
died with investors money. You must be vigilant to watch over your investment if you
consider it important to you.
3. Fraudulent stock brokers: some stockbrokers are unfaithful to their clients. They
may collect your money when there is perceived information that the shares of a
particular company is a good one and instead of making the transactions in your name
may divert the money for their selfish interest, may be use it to make their own
investments. When the company has closed her book, they may call you for refund or
may embezzle your money like that. You must be careful in selecting your stockbroker.

CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION

1. GENERAL FINDINGS :

30

The stock exchange is important part of country capital market. It is the central place
where industrial securities are bought and sold under codes of rule and regulation for
consideration through member as broker. The recent implementation made by SEBI
leads to great impact on the stock market.
It was found that in current scenario, the bank rates have been cut down rapidly
due to severe competition, so people and not going for contemporary deposits
because that cannot provide them the better returns or the desired interest rates.
So, they can
Investors in stock market are mostly looking for long term investment.
Some customers believe that financial instrument provides a better source of
investment against derivatives while some believe they dont.
Mostly customers prefer either using both futures as well as options or just
options because options require small investment than futures.

facilities like hypothecation and mortgage.
