HISTORY OF STOCK MARKET
Braudel suggests that in &airo in the **
th
century Muslim and +ewish 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
*,
th
century -rance the courratiers change were concerned and 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 *.
th
century
Bruges commodity traders gathered inside the house of a man called /an der Beurse
and in *.01 they became the 2Brugse Beurse3" instutionali4ing what had been" until
then" an informal meeting. he idea )uickly spread around -landers and neighboring
counties and 2Beur4en3 soon opened in 5hent and Amsterdam.
In the middle of the *.
th
century /enetian bankers began to trade in govt.
securities. In *.6* the /enetian government outlawed spreading rumors intended to
lower the price of government funds. Bankers in 7isa" /erona" 5enoa and -lorence
also began trading in government securities during the *8
th
century. his was only
possible because these were independent city states not ruled by a duke but a council
of influential citi4ens. he Dutch later started joint stock companies which let
shareholders" invest in business ventures and get a share of their profits or losses. In
*90, the Dutch :ast India &ompany issued the first shares on the Amsterdam ;tock
:$change. It was the first company to issue stocks and bonds.
he Amsterdam ;tock :$change <or Amsterdam Beurs= is also said to
have been the first stock e$change to introduce continuous trade in the early *>
th

&entury. he Dutch 2pioneered start short selling" option trading" debt ? e)uity swaps"

he securities and :$change Board of India was established by the government of
India. It was subse)uently upgraded as a fully autonomous body in the year *11,
with the passing of the ;ecurities and :$change Board of India Act on .0
th
+an.
*11,. In place of government control a stautory and autonomous regulatory board
with defined responsibilities to cover both development and regulation of the market
and independent powers has been set up. 7arado$ically this is a positive outcome of
the ;ecurities ;cam of *110?1*.

increase in number of traders including banks" financial institutions" insurance
companies" mutual funds" primary dealers etc. to transect through the e$changes. In
this conte$t the introductive derivatives trading through Indian ;tock :$change
permitted by ;:BI in ,000 AD is a real landmark.
;:BI appointed the #.&. 5upta &ommittee in *11C to recommend
the regulatory framework for derivatives trading and suggest by e? laws for regulation
and control of trading and settlement of derivatives contracts. he board of ;:BI in
its meeting held on May **" *1C> accepted the recommendations of the committee and
approved the phased introduction of derivatives trading in India beginning with stock
inde$ futures.
'owever the ;ecurities &ontracts <!egulation= Act" *169 re)uired

introduce trading in derivatives. he necessary amendment was then carried out by the
government in *111. he securities laws Bill" were introduced in December *111 the
new framework was approved.

WHAT ARE STOCKS
The Definition of a Stock
7lain and simple" stock is a share in the ownership of a company. ;tock represents a
claim on the companyGs assets and earnings. As you ac)uire more stock" your ownership stake
in the company becomes greater. Hhether you say shares" e)uity" or stock" it all means the
same thing.
Being an Owner
. 'olding a companyGs stock means that you are one of the many owners
<shareholders= of a company" and" as such" you have a claim <usually very small= to
everything the company owns. Ies" this means that technically you own every piece of
furniture" every trademark" and every contract of the company. As an owner" you are entitled
to your share of the companyGs earnings as well as any voting rights attached to the stock.
A stock is represented by a stock certificate. his is a fancy piece of paper that is proof
of your ownership. In todayGs computer age" you wonGt actually get to see this document
because your brokerage keeps these records electronically" which is also known as holding
shares in Demat form. his is done to make the shares easier to trade. In the past when a
person wanted to sell his or her shares" that person physically took the certificates down to the
brokerage. Jow" trading with a click of the mouse or a phone call makes life easier for
everybody.
Being a shareholder of a public company does not mean you have a say in the day?to?
day running of the business. Instead" one vote per share to elect the board of directors at
annual meetings is the e$tent to which you have a say in the company. -or instance" being a
Microsoft shareholder doesnGt mean you can call up Bill 5ates and tell him how you think the
company should be run.
he management of the company is supposed to increase the value of the firm for
shareholders. If this doesnGt happen" the shareholders can vote to have the management
removed??well" this is the theory anyway. In reality" individual investors donGt own enough
shares to have a material influence on the company. ItGs really the big boys like large
institutional investors and billionaire entrepreneurs who make the decisions.
It isnAt too big a deal that the shareholders are not the ones managing the company.
After all" the idea is that you donGt want to have to work to make money" rightK he
importance of being a shareholder is that you are entitled to a portion of the companyAs profits
and have a claim on assets. 7rofits are sometimes paid out in the form of dividends.
he more shares you own" the larger the portion of the profits you get. Iour claim on
assets is only relevant if a company goes bankrupt. In case of li)uidation" youGll receive whatGs
left after all the creditors have been paid. his last point is worth repeatingB the importance of
stock ownership is your claim on assets and earnings.
Another e$tremely important feature of stock is its limited liability" which means that"
as an owner of a stock" you are not personally liable if the company is not able to pay its
debts. Ether companies such as partnerships are set up so that if the partnership goes bankrupt
the creditors can come after the partners <shareholders= personally and sell off their house"
car" furniture" etc. Ewning stock means that" no matter what" the ma$imum value you can lose
is the value of your investment. :ven if a company of which you are a shareholder goes
bankrupt" you can never lose your personal assets.
SECURITIES
What is meant by securities ?
he definition of 2;ecurities3 as per the ;ecurities
&ontracts !egulation Act <;&!A= *169" include instruments such as shares" bonds"
scraps" stocks or other marketable securities of similar nature in or of any incorporate
company or body corporate" government securities" derivatives of securities" units of c
ollective investment scheme" interest and rights in securities" securities receipts or any
other instruments so declared by the central government.
What are the functions of Stock Exchanges?

;ecurities market is a place where buyers and
sellers of securities can enter into transactions to purchase and sell shares" bonds"
debentures etc. -urther it performs an important role of enabling corporate
entrepreneurs to raise resources for their companies and business ventures through
public issue. ransfer of resources from those having idle resources <investors= to
other who have a need for them <corporate= is most efficiently achieved through the
securities market started formally" securities market provide channels for reallocation
of saving to investment and entrepreneurship. ;aving are linked to inve stment by a
variety of intermediaries through a range of financial products called securities.
Which are the securities one can invest in ?
;hares
5overnment securities
Derivative product Unit of Mutual fund etc. are some of securities one can
invest in.

What is Primary Market?
It refers to new issues of shares by new companies as well e$isting &ompanies. hese
shares with be listed on specified ;tock :$change after completion of allotment and
compliance with other prescribed formalities. Apart from shares other commonly
issued instruments are debentures" convertible debentures" ;hares with attached option
like warrants etc.
Investors apply for ;hares in the 7rimary Market and the company will allot shares on the
basis of the e$tent of over?subscription" if any. In the latter case" applicant may be allotted
lesser number of shares" than applied for. hese are detailed in ;:BI guidelines on allotments.
Investors will be willing to apply for shares in the 7rimary Market" if the issue 7rice is
believed to be less than the 7otential post?listing market price.
he 7rimary market has not been active since the last few years due to aggressive pricing of
shares by some companies" their subse)uent inability to maintain this price" liberali4ation of
share premium rules by the 5ovt. poor )uality of due diligence by some merchant bankers
and a host of other factors.
What is Secondary Market?
It is a stock e$change" where any body can buy <or sell= shares" which are listed threat. IndiaAs
stock market is dominated by e)uity shares. Hith significant changes recently e.g.
computeri4ation and depository participationL an investor is to deal with a more transparent
;ystem. he brokerage amounts" as a result of these changes" have also substantially reduced.
An investor can purchase or sell e)uity shares through any broker registered with any of the
stock e$change in India.
In case of demateriali4ed shares" one can buy even a single shares" while in case of non F
demit shares" one can buy or sell generally in market lots. Edd lots can also" but these are not
li)uid.
HOW THE STOCK MARKET FUNCTIONS?
In order to under
stand how the stock market operates" you should have knowledge about the role of following
institutions D organist ionsB
a= ;tock e$changes"
b= Brokers"
c= !egistrars"
d= Depositories and their participants" and
e= ;ecurities and :$change Board of India <;ebi=
a) Stock exchanges:
A stock e$change is the marketplace where companies are listed and where the trading
happens. here are different stock e$changes in the country" the pre?dominant being the
Jational ;tock :$change <J;:= and the Bombay ;tock :$change <B;:=.
b) Brokers:
A stock e$change functions through its members called brokers. If you want to buy or
sell a share" you contact a broker. :ach stock e$change has a limited set of brokers and these
brokers contact each other using trading terminals to find out who is interested in the share
you want to buy or sell. Brokers have terminals linked to the B;: or the J;: and they
directly purchase or sell shares using these terminals. he entire transaction happens
electronically or through websites like www.!eliancesecurities.com.
Brokers may also authori4e a sub?broker to conduct the transactions on behalf of them.
;ince brokers are providing a service they charge you for the same. Jormally this
payment is not a flat rate" but a commission of the transaction value. Brokerages normally
range from 0.6M to *M for delivery?based transactions and from 0.*0M to 0.,6M for intra?day
transactions.
c) Registrars:
he registrar for each company maintains records of all the shareowners of the
company and the number of shares that they own.
Hhenever an ownership changes takes place" the registrar updates the shareholders
database.
d) Depositories and their participants:
Depositories are organi4ations that hold shares of investors" on re)uest" in electronic
form through a registered Depository 7articipant.
It can be compared with a bank as it holds securities in an account" transfers securities
between accounts on the instruction of the account holder" facilitates the transfer of ownership
without the account holder needing to handle securities and makes the safekeeping of shares
easy.
he agent through which a depositories interfaces with the investor is known as a
depository participant.
Iou can create a demat account with a D7" who will keep an account of all the shares
you own. his is much like the banking system" where you just create an account and have a
passbook which updates you on the money you own and the transactions you have made. In
your demat account you own shares in an electronic format and your account gets updated as
you buy and sell shares.
e) SEBI:
he regulatory body that governs all stock market transactions is the ;ecurities and
:$change Board of India. ;:BI forms rule and regulations that govern transactions in
securities market and that the stock e$changes and other intermediaries follow all such rules
and regulations set by it andDor the government. ;:BI also looks into investor complaints
against companies. It is )uasi?judicial and can try cases and pass judgments against any
market participants. It also looks into mergers and ac)uisitions of companies.
4.3 BEFORE INVESTING
o start investing in shares you need to open a stock?broking account with a registered
broker and a demat account with a Depository 7articipant. Hhen you open a !eliance -irst
;tep account" you get everything you need to start investing in shares. !eliance offers trade
e$ecution on both the B;: and the J;:" and being a D7 it also provides you a free
<conditions apply= demat account along with your trading account.
4.4 Placing An Order
o facilitate the buying and selling of shares" !eliance offers multiple trading
channels. Iou can" for e$ample" walk into any of our ,60 share shops across *,0 cities in
India and get your orders e$ecuted.
Iou can" on the other hand" even trade online through our site
!eliancesecurities.com. -or advanced traders we also have a special online trading
software called ;peed rade.
Iou can also call on our Dial?n?rade number" which is serviced by a dedicated call
centre" and place an order with a Dial?n?rade e$ecutive. Hhen you buy a share" you specify
the company whose shares you want to buy" the )uantity of shares you want to buy and the
price at which you want to buy them. If you donGt specify the price" the shares will be bought
at the market rate prevalent at that time. he process of selling a share is similar to the process
of buying a share. Again here you have to specify the company" the number of shares to sell
and the price at which you want to sell them. If you donGt specify the price" the shares will be
sold at the prevailing market price.
DO I KNOW WITH WHOM I AM TRANSACTING WITH?
Hhen you transact in a share" you are basically placing an order through your broker.
ransactions happen through e$change systems through anonymous order matching
mechanism.
herefore the details of counter party to your transactions are not known to you. Iou
get uni)ue transaction numbers as allotted by the :$change from your broker.
ransactions are settled on a daily rolling settlement basis. All the transactions carried
through the day are summari4ed by the :$change at the end of the day. Iou have to settle
your transactions with your Broker and the Broker in turn settles transactions with the stock
e$change. his process of settlement is called a settlement cycle and the time taken for this is
currently N, days. i.e." the settlement will occur two working days after you make the trade.
Iou need to pay for the purchasesDlosses before the settlement deadline and you will receive
securities after the settlement deadline. ;imilarly you need to deliver securities sold before the
deadline and you receive payment for saleDprofit after the settlement deadline.
If you have an online trading account and a demat account with !eliance then
settlement process for securities happens as a paperless ransaction.
HOW CAN ONE KNOW CURRENT PRICE OF ANY STOCK THE?
Hhenever you are buying or selling a share" you will encounter certain terms related
to share prices. hese terms deal with the individual price movements of a single share as well
as the price movements of all the shares. -or every share" typically there are four price
parameters.
a) Open:
his is the price at which the share opened on a particular day" that is the price at
which the first purchase of the share was made during that day.
b) High:
his is the highest price that a share went up to on a given day" or the highest price the
investors paid for that share.
C) LOW
his refers to the lowest price that a share fell to during a day" or the lowest price an
investor paid for that share.
D) Close:
his is the price at which the share closed on that day or the price for the last trade of
that day. At any given point of time" the share price will fluctuate between the highs and the
lows" sometimes reaching new highs" sometimes falling to new lows.
Hhen trading in shares" you need to mention the price point at which you want to buy
or sell. o specify the price point" it helps if you know the statistics or the trends of your
stock" and the stockGs opening and closing prices of the previous days.

Iou can also trade in shares without specifying the priceOthis is known as a market
order. In this case the trade happens at the market price at that point of time.
4.3 TRACKING THE STOCK MARKET
he B;: ;ense$ <Bombay ;tock :$change ;ensitive Inde$= measures the movement
of .0 most actively traded shares on the B;:. hese .0 companies represent a cross?section
of sectors of the economy.
;imilar to the B;: ;ense$ is the Jifty or the ;P7 &J@ Jifty" which measures the
movement of the J;:. his inde$ tracks 60 stocks" which represent about 90M of the market
capitali4ation of the J;:.
he upward or downward movement of the ;ense$ or Jifty is a typical indication of
whether the share prices are going up or down in general.
If the ;ense$ goes up on a particular day" it doesnGt mean that the share prices of all
companies would have gone up on that day. racking the movement of stock indices over a
longer period is an important part of intelligent investing.
EARNING FROM INVESTMENTS
;hares can give you returns in two formsB
a) Appreciation in share prices
Iou buy shares with the belief that their price will increase and that when this happens
you will be able to sell off your shares and earn profit. -or e$ample" if you bought a share for
!s*00 three years ago and it is !s600 today" then you have earned !s800 in three years.
B) Dividend
Hhen a company makes profits" it can choose to share part of its profits with its
shareholders by paying out dividend. his dividend is paid as a percentage of the face value of
the share. -or e$ample" a company may declare a dividend of ,6M. hen if the face value of
its share is !s*0 you will get !s,.60 for every share you own of that company" irrespective of
the market price.
In itself this might not be much" but over a longer period of time or if you have a lot of
shares" you could earn )uite a bit from the dividend itself. he best thing about dividends is
that they are ta$ free in the hands of investors. Dividend yield stocks are known to give
returns higher than fi$ed deposits.
QDividend yield R <dividend per share D market price of the share= $ *00S.
!eliance informs its customers of good dividend yield stocks from time to time.
4.4 EXPENSES DURING A TRANSACTION
:very share transaction attracts some ta$ or the other. ;ome of the main e$penses are
as followsB
a) Capital gains tax:
If you purchase a share and sell it at a price higher than the purchase price and if this
sale is within a year of the purchase" then appro$imately *0M capital gains ta$ is levied on the
profit that you make. -or e$ample" if you bought a share for !s*00 on +anuary *" ,006 and
sold it for !s*60 on +uly *" ,006" then you have to pay a ta$ of *0M on the !s60 profit that
you make. If you sell after a year of purchase" there is no ta$ on the long?term gains.
b) Securities transaction tax
;ecurities transaction ta$ <;= is levied by the government on every transaction you
do on a stock e$change. Iou donGt have to pay this separatelyL itGs collected by your broker.
As per the Union Budget ,006 the ; for cash segment transactions will be 0.*0M <sell as
well as buy= on delivery?based transactions and 0.0,M on intra?day sell transactions.
c) Brokerage
Brokers get a commission on every trade that they do for you. his commission varies
from broker to brokerL at sharekhan.com the brokerage is 0.6M for delivery?based transactions
and 0.*0M for intraday transactions. En the brokerage amount you are re)uired to pay a
service ta$ to the government <to be collected by the broker=. here could also be separate
transaction charges in the nature of :$change turnover based charges" stamp duty on
transactions etc. he brokerage varies depending on the service that the broker provides you.
;ome brokers" such as ;harekhan" offer its clients regular updates on companies" multiple
means to transact and customer service support.
D) Depository fees
;ince most of the shares e$ist in a demateriali4ed form" every time you buy or sell
shares the transactions are being noted by your D7. he D7s normally levy a charge which is
an annual charge and also .a charge on each transaction.

He all possess the vital instinct of in)uisitiveness for" when the unknown confronts
us" we wonder and our in)uisitiveness makes us probe and attain full and fuller
understanding of the unknown. his in)uisitiveness is the mother of all knowledge of
whatever the unknown" can be termed as research.

FINDINGS
#esser number of trading outlets.
rading terminals are not working at each outlets.
%iosk facility at retail outlets like Barista is not yet working.
&ustomer care personnel are not able to solve customerAs )ueries.
Account kit is not reaching to the customers within specified time period.
!eliance Money is coming up with best schemes of financial products in the
market.
It is difficult to creat brand loyal customers in case of financial services since
there is a lot of risk involved in the investment but once created" it is difficult
to make them switch over.

SUGGESTIONS
he company should not overcommunicate their services to their consumers.
hey should clearly inform them about the time by when their services will be
performed so as to avoid dissatisfaction among the consumers.
erminals at different franchise outlets should be in working conditions. he
company should make it as the norm that the franchise given to a person will
be taken away if their terminals are not in setting condition within one week.
;ince setting up a terminal involves e$tra e$penses for a franchise they are not

interested in doing so.
hey are only concentrating on their business since they are not aware of long
term impact of destroying the brand image of the company on their own
business.
here should be a set pattern of infrastructure for all the franchise outlets
which should be specified by the company so as to give an impression on the
consumer that they are gettingt the same service from the company regardless
of the outlets from were they are receiving services.
In order to creat brand identity of !eliance Money and improve its image in
