This book has been written for the students of B.Com. (Honours) of Calcutta University, West
Bengal State University and other major Eastern India Universitites. Although there are several
books available in the market on this subject, but most of the books are not student-friendly.
They mainly focus on the content rather than the specific needs of the students. Hence, the
primary focus of the present book is to cater to the needs of the students. The authors have fair
experience in teaching commerce students and this book has been written considering their
requirements and fundamentals of the subject.
The book is divided into following two parts, which have five units each:
1. Indian Financial System:
∑ Financial System
∑ Money and Indian Banking System
∑ Development Banks
∑ Other Financial Institutions
∑ Interest Rate Structure
2. Financial Market Operations
∑ An Overview of Financial Markets in India
∑ Money Market
∑ Capital Market
∑ Investors’ Protection
∑ Financial Services
In all the units, the prescribed syllabus has been faithfully followed. The book contains
question papers, with hints to the answers, of West Bengal State University from 2009–2016
and of Calcutta University from 2005–2016. These question papers will provide a good idea
about the types and typicality level of questions asked in university exams. For the benefit of
the students, each unit consists of a chapter-end summary which will present a quick review
of the content studied in the chapter. Each unit ends with several exercise questions which
are organised into Short-Answer Type Questions, Medium-Answer Type Questions and
Long-Answer Type Questions. Solving these exercises will enable the students to fully prepare
themselves for the examination. A glossary of technical terms used in the book is provided
towards the end of the book to help the students quickly get the definition or meaning of any
Preface
technical term. For advance learning, students can refer to the books listed in the Bibliography,
provided at the book-end, to increase their knowledge.

SYLLABUS
Indian Financial System and Financial Market Operations
for B.Com. Hons. (Accounting & Finance)
“Sir,
“I have been honoured with your letter of the 7th, and beg you to
accept my sincere thanks, for the favor conferred on me, in the
Glasses—which are very fine; but more particularly, for the flattering
expressions which accompanied the present.
“Go. Washington.
It was at the close of this year, that the college of William and
Mary, in Virginia, complimented Mr. Rittenhouse with an honorary
degree of Master of Arts, by an unanimous vote of the rectors and
faculty of that institution. His diploma, which is a special one, and
wherein he is styled the Chief of Philosophers,[216] has a place in the
Appendix.
The college of William and Mary was founded in the joint reign of
the king and queen of those names, who endowed it with twenty
thousand acres of land, besides a small duty on certain exported
tobaccoes, granted by stat. 25 Ch. II: in addition to which, the
assembly of Virginia also gave to it, by temporary laws, a duty on
liquors imported, and on skins and furs exported. And from these
resources, its funds amounted, on a medium, to more than 3,000l.
Virginia currency, (or $10,000,) per annum. The Hon. Robert Boyle,
[217]
of England, had also made a liberal donation to this college, for
the purpose of instituting a professorship, called the Brafferton, (the
name of the English estate, purchased with the money granted by
him to the college,) for the purpose of compensating missionaries, to
instruct the Indian natives and to convert them to Christianity. After
the revolution, the constitution of the college of William and Mary
underwent a considerable change: three of the six original
professorships, that is to say, two of Divinity, and one of the Greek
and Latin languages, were abolished; and three others, namely, one
for Law and Police—one for Anatomy and Medicine—and a third for
Modern Languages, were substituted in their stead; the Brafferton, it
is presumed, has been diverted into other channels, if not wholly
neglected.
“Dear Sir,
“For some months past I had not the least apprehension of being
obliged to visit the Ohio, this spring; but our affairs have taken such
a turn, that at present it is probable I shall meet you, at the time and
place appointed. Capt. Hutchins has been sent for to New York, by
Congress, as the trustees of the university will not consent to Dr.
Ewing’s absence. One or other of us will certainly set off in a few
days, to meet you: our waggons are already gone.
“I ought long since to have informed you, that you were elected a
member of our Philosophical Society—I wish you would favour us
with a communication, on any subject you please. Pray let me hear
from you, before you leave Baltimore. Have you any account from
Virginia? I am, dear sir, yours with respect and sincerity.
“David Rittenhouse.
“My dearest H,
“I have not heard one word from Philadelphia, since I left you.
About a month ago I wrote to you from Union Town, and I promise
myself a letter from you by the first messenger from that place, who
is now daily expected. To-morrow Mr. Armstrong sets off for Hanna’s
Town, where he expects to meet brother Isaac Jacobs, so that I write
in confidence of my letter reaching you.
“Deer are incredibly plenty here—I was the first that caught a
young fawn, and hoped to have sent the beautiful little animal a
present to H****. We kept it about a week, and it became quite tame;
but our cows ran away, and it was starved for want of milk. Col. P.
called it F—— B——, and says H**** shall at least have the skin. We
have all been very healthy; my cough diminishes slowly, my old
complaint is less troublesome, and I have no other.
“I wish to write to B***** and H****; but you will not readily imagine
how little leisure I have: Tired of the exercise of the day, I rejoice at
the approach of night; and, after a cup of tea, generally lie down to
rest as soon as it is dark, unless we have observations to make; and
then we have generally half a mile to walk, through dark woods, from
the place of observation to our encampment: this, however, does not
happen above once in a fortnight.
Until you bring round the happy day, that will restore me again to the
dear woman and children I so much love.
“Give my love to my children, and the few friends that are really
concerned for my welfare. God bless you, and make you at least as
happy as I am; and then, I am sure, you will not complain. Your ever
affectionate
“D. Rittenhouse.
“My dearest H,
“I need not say how much I feel for you, on account of the
disagreeable situation in which you last wrote. The only advice, I
believe, which I thought it necessary to give you, at leaving you, was
to keep up your spirits and endeavour to bear the fatigues of the
office. What will you say, or what will you think, when I tell you, I
believe it scarcely possible for any thing to contribute so much to
reconcile me to your absence, as the aversion I have to the plagues
of that same office.
“You have heard the reports concerning the Indians. We are still
ignorant of the true state of matters; but, from every information we
can get, it seems very improbable that we shall cross the Ohio this
summer: on this side of the river, we do not apprehend the least
danger.
“We have, for three weeks past, had a much greater proportion of
dry weather; and in this country, when it does not rain, the sky is
always fair, of a beautiful blue, and the air serene. There has been
nothing like a storm, nor scarce a puff of wind, since we came here.
Though thunder, lightning, and rain, are so very frequent, they are
never attended with high winds, nor scarcely a perceptible motion of
the air. For a month past, we had a very decent woman to cook for
us, but some little family broils obliged us to pack her home again.
Our boys have, however, learnt from her to bake good bread, and to
cook much better than they did. I mention this, because you will be
pleased with any thing that can contribute to my comfort.
“David Rittenhouse.
“Mrs. Rittenhouse.”
“P. S. Having mentioned the fatigues of the day, I must assure you
that I find my strength fully equal to them: As to walking up the hills, I
never pretend to it, having always a horse to ride—Col. P. is every
thing I could wish; I mean, so far as is necessary to me.”
“Dear Sir,
“The elements of the new Planet have been pretty well determined
by several European astronomers. The following I have extracted
from the Almanack[232] for 1787.
“Dr. Halley’s Table of the equation of ♃’s orbit will do very well for
computing the place of Herschel’s planet, only subtracting 1/16 part of
the equation there found; the greatest equation of this planet being
5° 27′ 16″. So, if from the Log. to any degree of anomaly, in the Table
for Jupiter, we subtract 1/76 part of the excess of that Log. above the
least, and to the remainder add the constant Logarithm .5647750,
we shall have the Log. for ♅ sufficiently accurate. On these
principles, I have computed the Right Ascension of ♅, and find both
agree with my own observation, to a few seconds.
“Sir,

“David Rittenhouse.
November 9, 1789.
