PREFACE
Many students may have done work on this project in different ways/styles. I have also
tried to work on this project in a different way.
It was for the first time I got the opportunity to work in such a prestigious and well

to help me through out my life time. I have worked on this project with great enthusiasm
and zeal. I have tried to cover almost all the things which I have experienced and learned
from the company’s management.

Limited.
I divided this project report into following phases as mentioned in the project proposal.
The report is about the comparative study of online stockbrokers.
The project report begins with the detailed introduction of the study in which basis of
comparison has been discussed. Then detailed introduction of share market has been
given. Then information regarding Religare Securities Limited has been given. The basic
schemes and services offered by the RSL to its customers have been included in the
project report.
The project report contains the information about other online brokers (ICICI direct,
Kotak securities, Motilal Oswal, share khan, India Info line) also like what is their
brokerage rate, information regarding their branch network etc. From these company’s
description it is clear what these brokers provide and what is their brokerage. Then
primary data has been collected has been filled up by the people. The main focus of the
questions is on the comparative analysis of the different online brokers. This comparison
has been made on the basis of the different things like services, brokerage, product, and
branch network, tie up with banks etc.

THE INDUSTRY PROFILE
Braudel suggests that in Cairo in the 11th century Muslim and Jewish merchants had
already set up every form of trade association and had knowledge of every method of
credit and payment, disproving the belief that these were invented later by Italians. In
12th century France the courratiers de change were concerned with managing and
regulating the debts of agricultural communities on behalf of the banks. Because these
men also traded with debts, they could be called the first brokers. In late 13th century
Bruges commodity traders gathered inside the house of a man called Van der Beurse, and
in 1309 they became the "Brugse Beurse", institutionalizing what had been, until then, an
informal meeting. The idea quickly spread around Flanders and neighboring countries
and "Beurzen" soon opened in Ghent and Amsterdam.
In the middle of the 13th century Venetian bankers began to trade in government
securities. In 1351 the Venetian government outlawed spreading rumors intended to
lower the price of government funds. Bankers in Pisa, Verona, Genoa and Florence also
began trading in government securities during the 14th century. This was only possible
because these were independent city states not ruled by a duke but a council of influential
citizens. The Dutch later started joint stock companies, which let shareholders invest in
business ventures and get a share of their profits - or losses. In 1602, the Dutch East India
Company issued the first shares on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. It was the first
company to issue stocks and bonds.
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange (or Amsterdam Beurs) is also said to have been the first
stock exchange to introduce continuous trade in the early 17th century. The Dutch
"pioneered short selling, option trading, debt-equity swaps, merchant banking, unit trusts
and other speculative instruments, much as we know them" (Murray Sayle, "Japan Goes
Dutch", London Review of Books XXIII.7, April 5, 2001). There are now stock markets

in virtually every developed and most developing economies, with the world's biggest
markets being in the United States, Canada, China (Hong Kong), India, UK, Germany,
France and Japan.
The word stock simply refers to a supply. You may have a stock of T-shirts in your closet
or a stock of pencils in your desk. In the financial market, stock refers to a supply of
money that a company has raised. This supply comes from people who have given the
company money in the hope that the company will make their money grow.
A market is a public place where things are bought and sold. The term "stock market"
refers to the business of buying and selling stock.
Or
"Stock Market" is a term that is used to refer both to the physical location for buying and
selling stocks, and to the overall activity of the market within a certain country. When
you hear "The stock market was down today," it refers to the combined activity of many
stock exchanges.
The correct term for the physical location for trading stocks is the "Stock Exchange." A
country may have many different stock exchanges. Usually a particular company's stocks
are traded on only 1 exchange, although large corporations may be listed in several.
- 10 -
corporation has a special legal status. Like a school, its existence
does not depend on the people who run it. Under the law it is
separate from the people associated with it, and has
special legal rights and responsibilities as well as its own unique name.
...And Why People Buy It?
Owning stock in a company means owning part of that company. Each part is known as a
share. If a company has issued 100 shares of stock, and we bought one, we own 1% of
that company. People who own stock are called stockholders, or shareholders.
Stockholders hope the company will earn money as it grows. If a company earns money,
the stockholders share the profits. Over time, people usually earn more from owning
stock than from leaving money in the bank, buying bonds, or making other investments.
Buying partial ownership in a smaller company can still be done of course, but that will
be entirely different kind of investment, one that has nothing to do with stocks. These
types of investment are much less liquid and are much riskier. This is called a “Private
Placement” while stock on an exchange is called “Publicly Traded”.
Theoretically, publicly traded stock provides more protection because the transaction is
monitored by the Securities and Exchange board of India (SEBI). Because publicly
traded stocks must be traded on a stock exchange, an individual investor always needs a
broker who makes transactions for him. Basically, brokers are people who take orders
to buy or sell a certain stock in exchange for a small commission on the sale. (In other
words they are just glorified sales people).Stock orders may include instructions to buy or
sell stock at a certain price (Limit orders) or simply to trade them for whatever the
present price is (market orders). When the order arrives to a broker, he executes it (or
rather, tries to execute it) by finding a buyer or seller willing to trade for the ordered
- 11 -
price. As you probably see, the other side of transactions is represented by another broker
acting on some instructions, too.
ADVANTAGES OF STOCKS
What is more, being a shareholder entitles you to take part in any profits the company
makes. They are issued as a dividend once or twice a year, depending on the decision
made by company the directors. As the company grows the value of the stock rises.
When the company suffers losses you aren't asked to give anything in, but the value of
the stocks you have will almost surely fall. If you compare the stocks with classical
savings investments like bonds, bank certificates of deposit etc., you will quickly notice
that they have greater potential to earn more money quickly -- but they are much riskier
investment, as the chances of loss is real.
However if you know your share about how the stock market works and what the various
investment strategies are, you can minimize losses. Most investors find out that they do
much better business on the stock market than would be ever possible with any kind of
savings investment.
Stockholders in a company usually have voting rights. They vote on such issues as who
will be elected to the board of directors—the group of people who oversee company
decisions—and whether to buy other companies. Stockholders typically have one vote for
each share they own. Every vote counts, but a stockholder with 5,000 shares will have
more influence on the company than someone with only one share.
Most companies have annual meetings, where stockholders cast votes and ask questions
of the company's leaders. If they cannot attend, stockholders may use an absentee ballot
to vote. Shareholders also receive quarterly and annual reports that tell them how the
company is doing.

What Goes Up Earns Bucks
Likewise, the term "bear market" describes a time when stock prices have been falling on
the whole. A "bull market" is a period when stock prices are generally rising.

• It ranges from 0.03% to 0.1% for margin trades, 0.2% to 0.425% for squared off
trades and 0.25% to 0.75% on delivery based trades.
• To give an idea, an investor having a daily average trading volume of Rs
65000/- will be paying an effective brokerage of 0.50% only , and that too inclusive of
all charges.
• Demat account charges: For all trades done through ICICIdirect.com, there are
NO separate charges. However, for all other trades and services like demat, pledge etc,
the charges shall be as per the existing rate card of ICICI demat. An annual
maintenance fee of Rs.500/- (Rs.450/- for customers receiving statement by e-mail)
per account is charged. However, the first year annual maintenance charges are
waived for on all accounts opened through ICICIdirect.com.
• For bank account, a minimum quarterly average balance of Rs 5000/- needs to be
maintained.
Even if we assume very low volumes of trading and that too only on Delivery based trading,
brokerage rates are still economical. Let us take an example
- 30 -
ICICIdirect Other broker
Normal brokerage 0.85% max Lets say 0.50%
A Transaction value 10000 10000
B Brokerage (Rs.) 85.00 50.00
C Service Tax (5% of B) NIL 2.50
D Other charges (0.03% of A) NIL 3.00
E Demat charges NIL 25.00
F Total charges (Rs.) B+C+D+E 85.00 80.50
ICICI demat has a Market Buy rate of 0.03% or Rs 25/-, whichever is higher, for
EVERY trade. If we calculate, an investor has to buy at least up to Rs 83333/- worth of
shares to pay 0.03% in EVERY Trade. Obviously not many people pay 0.03%. They
pay Rs 25/- instead.
Suppose an average person trades in Rs10000/- in every trade, he shall pay Rs 25/-
for demat charges. This comes to 0. 25% of his trade amount.
So he pays at least 0.75% and not 0.50%. Add other charges to this and it will go up
to at least 0.80%. On top of it, one may incur the local conveyance directly or
indirectly in collecting/sending cheques/TIFDs with the broker concerned.
Add to this, ICICIdirect credits the funds to your bank account on the pay-out day
itself (one can even withdraw it on the same day).

Conclusion
• The first thing which we concluded from the primary data and other facts is
that most people have a very high concern about brokerages. So, going by this
fact India bulls & Religare are making a good mark in the market, whereas
SHAREKHAN stands middle in the race. So, RELIGARE has a great
advantage of lower rate of brokerages.
• The second thing, which we have revealed from the above study, is that,
Relationship Manager’s services are influencing people a lot. But most of the
people who are using these services are those who don’t have much time.
Therefore all the big giants are providing these services to stand aside in the
- 46 -
market. Whereas local brokers are not providing these services and this is one
of the main reasons of their low market holding.
