There are two types of trading environment available for online trading

1. Installable software based stock trading terminals: This

trading environment requires software to be installed on investor’s

computer. This software is provided by the stock broking firm. This

kind of trading terminal is used by high volume intraday equity traders.

Advantages

Orders are directly sent to stock exchange rather than stock

broker which make order execution very fast.

It provides much more information as compared to web based

version including stock market charts, price alerts, stock market

news etc.

Disadvantages

You cannot trade if you are not on the same computer where

you have installed the software.

2. Web (Internet) based trading application: This does not

require any special software installation. This is just like any other

website which can be opened from anywhere around the world for

trading purpose.

Advantage

Real time stock trading is possible without calling or visiting

broker’s office.

It displays real time market watch, graphs, historical data etc.

Trading history, Demat a/c balance and saving a/c balance can

be checked at any time

Also provides valuable analysis to investors on various stocks.

Secured transactions through unique ID’s

Customer service through Email and chat

Disadvantages

Some people don’t have much proficiency of internet and

computers.

Websites are not that user friendly as compared to personalized

service of broker’s

Nevertheless, with all the convenience of online trading there are still investors

who prefer the old fashion way of offline trading. Offline trading has lost some

popularity but it is still the main form of investing. Offline trading offers many

benefits as well.

Pro’s of offline trading

The most important point which investors appreciates is that they are not

alone while taking any decisions so they can take the advice of their

Relationship Manager when investing in a particular script.

They are not faced with the challenge of making these vital investment

decisions; especially, if they do not have the experience necessary to

make the appropriate investments.

The advantage of trading offline is higher exposure limit. Investors get

higher Exposure while trading Offline as compared to Online.

With the ever booming share prices and the market scaling new heights more

and more people are getting attracted towards this sector but as per the SEBI

norms one must have a Demat a/c.

To sell Demat a/c to a client it is required to collect all the information

regarding Demat a/c in general and demat a/c offered by Bonanza.

I visited some of the main companies as a client and enquired about their

offerings and compared these offerings with those of Bonanza.

Some of the main companies I visited were-

Capital issues (Control) Act, 1947

The Act had its origin during the Second World War in 1943 when the

objective of the Government was to per-empts resources to support the

war efforts. Companies were required to take the Government approval

for tapping household savings. Companies retained the act with some

modifications as a means of controlling the raising of capital. In addition,

to ensure that national resources were channeled into proper lines.

Companies act, 1956

Companies act, 1956 is a comprehensive legislation covering all aspects

of company form of business entity from formation to wining-up. The

legislation deals with issue, allotment and transfer of securities and

various aspects relating to company management. It provides for

standards of disclosure in public issues of capital, particularly in the fields

of company managements and projects, information about other listed

companies under the same managements and management perception of

risk factors.

Securities contracts act, 1956

The preciously self-regulated stock exchanges were brought under

statutory regulation through the passage of the SC, which provides for

direct and indirect control of virtually all aspects of securities trading and

the running of stock exchange, through a process of recognition and

continued supervision.

3.1 Share Market

Securities and Exchange Board of India

SEBI is the Regulator for the Securities Market in India. Originally

set up by the Government of India in 1988, it acquired statutory form in

1992 with SEBI Act 1992 being passed by the Indian Parliament. Chaired

by C B Bhave, SEBI is headquartered in the popular business district of

Bandra-Kurla complex in Mumbai, and has Northern, Eastern, Southern

and Western regional offices in New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and

Ahmedabad SEBI has to be responsive to the needs of three groups,

which constitute the market:

The issuers of securities

The investors

The market intermediaries

SEBI has three functions rolled into one body quasi-legislative, quasi-judicial

and quasi-executive. It drafts regulations in its legislative capacity, it conducts

investigation and enforcement action in its executive function and it passes

rulings and orders in its judicial capacity. However, this makes it very powerful;

there is an appeals process to create accountability. There is a Securities

Appellate Tribunal, which is a three-member tribunal and is presently headed by

a former Chief Justice of a High court - Mr. Justice NK Sodhi. A second appeal

lies directly to the Supreme Court.

SEBI has enjoyed success as a regulator by pushing systemic reforms

aggressively and successively (e.g. the quick movement towards making the

markets electronic and paperless rolling settlement on T+2 basis). SEBI has

been active in setting up the regulations as required under law.

With the objective of improving market efficiency, enhancing transparency,

checking unfair trade practices and bringing the Indian market up to

international standards, a package of reforms consisting of measures to

liberalize, regulate and develop the securities market was introduced during the

1990s. This has changed corporate securities market beyond recognition in this

decade.

National Stock Exchange

The National Stock Exchange commenced its operations in 1947 as a first step

in reforming the securities market the exchange.

Before the NSE was set up, trading on the stock exchange in India used to take

place through open outcry without use of information technology for immediate

matching or recording of trades. This was time consuming and inefficient. The

practice of physical trading imposed limits on trading volumes as well as, the

speed with which new information was incorporated in to prices. To obviate

this, the NSE introduced screen-based trading system where a member can

punch into the computer the quantities of shares and the prices at which he

wants to transact. The transaction is executed as soon as the quote punched by a

trading member finds a matching sale or buys quote from counterparty. This

increases the informational efficiency of market. With SBTS, it becomes

possible for market participants to see the full market, which helps to make the

market mare transparent, leading to increased investor confidence. The NSE

started nation-wide SBTS, which have provided a completely transparent

trading mechanism. Regional exchange lost a lot of business to NSE, forcing

them to introduce SBTS. Today India boasts that almost 100% trading takes

place through electronic order matching.

Bombay Stock Exchange:

BSC Sensex or Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive index is a value-weighted

index composed of 30 stocks started in 01 of Jan 1986. it consist of the 30

largest and most actively traded stock , representative of various sectors, on the

Bombay stock exchange .these companies account for around one-fifth of

market capitalization of the BSE. The base value of the Sensex is 100 on April

1, 1979, and the base year of BSE-SENSEX is 1978-79.

At irregular intervals, the Bombay stock exchange (BSE) authorities review and

modify its composition to make sure it reflect  current market conditions.

The index is calculated based on free float capitalization method a variation of

the market cap method. Instead of using a company’s outstanding share it uses

its float, or share that are readily available for trading. The free float method,

therefore, dose not includes restricted stocks, such as those held by company

insiders.

The index has increased by over ten times from June 1990 to the present. Using

information from April 1979 onward, the long run rate of return on the BSE

Sensex works out to be 18.6% per annum, which translates to roughly 9% per

annum after compensating for inflation.

Equities: -

What is Equity: - Funds brought in to a business by shareholders is called

equity. It is a measure of a stake of a person or group of persons starting a

business.

What does investing in equity mean? When you buy a company’s equity, you

are in effect financing it, and being compensated with a stake in the business.

You become part owner of the company, entitled to dividends and other benefits

that the company may announce, but without any guarantee of a return on your

investments.

Fundamental analysis: - The analysis of information like financial figures,

balance sheet, and other information publicly available is known as fundamental

analysis. This information is used to derive a fair price of the share of the share

of the company. The faithful fundamentalists believe that the market

incorporates all facts relating to the financial performance of the company.

However, a systematic analysis will ensure a more accurate valuation of the

price. Fundamental analysis use tools such as ratio analysis (P/E, M/V/BV) and

discounted cash flow analysis in order to arrive at the fair value of a company

and hence its share.

Technical Analysis: - Technical analysis is the study of historic price

movements of securities and trading volumes.

Technical analysis believes that largely forces of demand and supply determine

prices of the securities. Share prices move in patterns, which are easily

identifiable. Crucial insights in to these patterns can be obtained by keeping

track of price charts, leading to predictions that a stock price may move up to

down. The belief is that by knowing the past, future prices can predict.

Settlement cycle: - The accounting period for the securities traded on the

Exchange. On the NSE, the cycle beings on Wednesday and ends on the

following Tuesday, and on the BSE the cycle commences on Monday and ends

on Friday.

At the end of this period, the obligations of each broker are calculated and the

brokers settle their respective obligations of each broker are calculated and the

brokers settle their respective obligations as per the rules, byelaws and

regulations of the clearing corporation.

If a transaction is entered on the first day of the settlement, the same will be

settled in the eighth working day excluding the day of transaction. However, if

the same is done on the last day of the settlement, it will be settled on the fourth

working day excluding the day of transaction.

Rolling settlement: - The rolling settlement ensures that each day’s trade is

settled by keeping a fixed gap of a specified number of working days between a

trade and its settlement, at present, this gap is five working days after the trading

day. The waiting period is uniform for all trades.

Deliver the shares and pay the money to broker: - As a seller, in order to

ensures smooth settlement you should deliver the shares to your broker

immediately after getting the contract note for sale but in any case before the

pay-in day. Similarly, as a buyer, one should pay immediately on the receipt of

the contract note for purchase but in any case before the pay-in day.

Short selling: short selling is a legitimate trading strategy. It is a sale of a

security that the seller does not own, or any sale that is completed by the

delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. The sellers take the risk that they

will be able to buy the stock at a more favorable price than the price at which

they “sold short”

Auction: - An auction is conducted for those securities that members fail to

deliver/short deliver during pay-in. three factors primarily give rise to an

auction, short deliveries, un-rectified bad delivering up-rectified company

objection.

The buy/sell auction for a capital market security is managed through the

auction market. As opposed to the normal market where trade matching is an

on-going process, the trade matching process for auction starts after the auction

period is over.

If the shares are not bought at the auction, if the shares are not offered for sale,

the exchange squares up the transaction as per SEBI guidelines, the transaction

is squared up at the highest price from the relevant trading period until the

auction day or at 20 percent above the last available closing price whichever is

higher.

The pay in and pay out of funds for auction square up is held along with the

payout for the relevant auction.

Hawala Rate: - Hawala rate is a making-up price at which buyers and sellers

settle their speculative transaction at the end of the settlement. It is the basis for

buy and sells for the investor opting for carry forward during the next

settlement. This price is fixed by taking the weighted average of trades in the

last half-an-hour of trading on the settlement day for securities in the carry

forward list, also known as the “A” group or specified group.

This price is significant because for a speculative buyer or a seller, the Hawala

rate is the standard rate for settling his trade and for carrying forward business

to the next settlement. For example, an investor buys the stock of x company at

Rs.100 on Monday. By Friday (BSE settlement day), if Rs 90 is the weighted

average price in the last half-an-hour, the buyer would have to carry forward his

trade at this price of Rs. 90. He then settles at Rs. 90 and enters in to a contract

at Rs. 90 plus BLESS charges for the next settlement.

Normally, Stock Exchange does not interfere with the Hawala rates. However,

there are instances, when rates have been changed to ensure safety of the

markets. This is so because in case the market witnesses a sharp fall during a

settlement, the chances of a broker default are extremely high. This is when the

exchange administration steps in and raises the Hawala rate to avert any

possible default.

Book-closure and record date: - When shares of a joint stock company

invariably change hands during market trades, identifying the owner of some

shares becomes difficult. So it is difficult to pass on certain benefits (like share

bonus issue, splits and dividend payments) to shareholders.

Therefore, when a joint stock company declares dividends or bonus issues, there

has to be a cut-off date for such benefits to be transferred to the shareholders.

This date is termed as "Book Closure" date or "Record Date". The company will

not handle any transfer of shares requests until the benefits are transferred after

the date. Only shareholders marked in the company's register at the Book

Closure Date or the Record Date would be entitled to receive these benefits. If a

company announces book closure as 1 January, shareholders who as on that day

own the stock will be entitled to the dividend/bonus/split benefit. E.g., If Mr. Y

buys this stock from Mr. X on 2 January, the benefit of bonus issue or splits or

the company will still transfer dividend to Mr. X by.

A company generally announces such a date along with the announcement of

the bonus issue or splits or dividend announcement, as the case may be.

In an efficient market as per the efficient-market hypothesis (EMH) the effect of

the price change due to bonus issue or splits or dividend as on the Book Closure

date gets adjusted in the price of the stock in the market effective with the

opening of the trade floor on the book closure date

Currency Market

The foreign exchange market (currency, FOREX, or FX) is where currency

trading takes place. It is where banks and other official institutions facilitate the

buying and selling of foreign currencies. FX transactions typically involve one

party purchasing a quantity of one currency in exchange for paying a quantity of

another. The foreign exchange market that we see today started evolving during

the 1970s when world over countries gradually switched to floating exchange

rate from their erstwhile exchange rate regime, which remained fixed as per the

Bretton Woods system until 1971.

Presently, the FX market is one of the largest and most liquid financial markets

in the world, and includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency

speculators, corporations, governments, and other financial institutions. The

average daily volume in the global foreign exchange and related markets is

continuously growing. Traditional daily turnover was reported to be over

US$3.2 trillion in April 2007 by the Settlements. Since then, the market has

continued to grow. According to Euro money’s annual FX Poll, volumes grew a

further 41% between 2007 and 2008.

The purpose of FX market is to facilitate trade and investment. The need for a

foreign exchange market arises because of the presence of multifarious

international currencies such as US Dollars, Euros, Japanese yen, Pounds

Sterling, etc., and the need for trading in such currencies.

What is Foreign Exchange/FOREX/FX?

Foreign exchange is the simultaneous purchase of one currency and sale of

another – currencies are always traded in pairs. International currencies are

traded on floating exchange rates. There is a daily average turnover of about

US$1.5 trillion in the foreign exchange markets. The foreign exchange market is

known as the "FOREX," or "FX" market. It is the largest financial market in the

world.

Is there a central location for the FOREX Market?

FOREX trading is not managed through an exchange. Since transactions are

conducted between two counterparts, the FX market is an “inter-bank,” or over

the counter (OTC) market.

Who participates in the FX market?

Central, commercial and investment banks have traditionally dominated the

FOREX market. Other market participation is rapidly increasing, and now

includes international money managers and brokers, multinational corporations,

registered dealers, options and futures traders, and private investors.

When is the FX market open for trading?

FOREX is a true global 24-hour marketplace. The trading day begins in Sydney,

and moves around the globe as each financial center comes to life. Tokyo

follows, then London, and finally New York. Investors can respond in real time

to any fluctuations caused by current economic, social and political events.

What are the most common currencies in the FOREX markets?

The“liquid” currencies in the FOREX market are those of countries with low

inflation, stable governments, and respected central banks. Nearly 85% of daily

transactions involve the major currencies, including the U.S. Dollar, Japanese

Yen, the European Union Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, and the Canadian

and Australian Dollars.

Is capital intensive to trade FOREX?

FOREX Capital Management requires a minimum deposit of $300 to open a

Mini Account and $2000 for a regular account. Your relationship with FOREX

Capital Management enables you to conduct highly leveraged trades (as much

as a 200 to 1 leverage ration in the Mini Account.) You set the degree of

leverage that you wish to deploy.

Unless otherwise specified, your leverage level is set at the most lenient

level required by your account size. Please remember that while this degree of

leverage enables you to maximize your profit potential, there is an equally great

potential for loss.

Derivatives

The emergence of the market for derivative products, most notably forwards,

futures and options, can be traced back to the willingness of risk adverse

economic agent to guard themselves against uncertainties arising of fluctuations

in assets prices. By their very nature, the financial markets are marked by a very

high degree of volatility. Using derivative product it is possible to partially or

fully transfer price risks by locking in assets price .as instruments of risk

management; these generally do not influence the fluctuation in the underlying

asset prices. However, by locking in asset prices, derivative products minimize

the impact of fluctuation in asset prices on the profitability and cash flow

situation of risk adverse investors.

Derivative Products:

Derivative contracts have several variants. The most common variants are

forwards, futures, options, and swaps. Take a brief look at various derivative

contracts that have come to be used.

Forward: A forward contact is a customized contract between two entities,

where settlement takes place on a specific date in the future at today’s pre-

agreed price.

Future: A future contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an

asset at a certain time in the future at a certain price. Future contracts are special

type of forward contracting the sense that the former are standardized exchange

traded contracts.

Option: Option is two types – calls and puts. Calls given the buyer the right but

not the obligation to buy a given quantity of the underlying asset, at a given

price on or before a given future date .puts give the buyer the right, but not the

obligation to sell a given quantity of the underlying asset at a given price on or

before a given date.

Warrants: Option generally have lives of up to one year. Majority of the option

traded on options exchanges having a maximum maturity of nine months.

Longer-dated options are called warrants and are generally traded over the

counter.

Leaps: The acronym leaps means long-term equity anticipation securities .these

are options having a maturity of up to three years.

Baskets: Baskets option is option on portfolio of underlying assets. The

underlying asset is usually a moving average of a basket of asset .equity index

options are a form of basket option.

Swaps: Swaps are private agreement between two parties to exchange cash

flows in the future according to pre-arranged formula. They can be regarded as

portfolios of forward contracts. The two commodity use swaps are:

Swaptions: Swaptions are option to buy or sell a swap that will become

operative at the expiry of the option .thus a swaption is an option on a forward

swap. Rather than have calls and puts, the swaption market has receiver

swaptions and payer swaption. A receiver swaption is an option to receive fixed

and pay floating. A payer swaption is an option to pay fixed and receive

floating.

The Depository system

The principal function of a depository is to dematerialize securities and

enable their transaction in book-entry form. The securities are transferred by

debiting the transferor’s depository account and crediting the transferee’s

depository account.

Functions of Depository

Dematerialization: one of the primary functions of depository is to eliminate or

minimize the movement of physical securities in the market. This is achieved

through dematerialization of securities. Dematerialization is the process of

converting securities held in physical form into holdings in book entry form.

Account transfer: the depository gives effects to all transfers resulting from the

settlement of trades and other transactions between various beneficial owners by

recording entries in the accounts of such beneficial owners.

Transfer and Registration: A transfer is the legal change of ownership of a

security in the records of the issuer. For affecting a transfer, certain legal steps

have to be taken like endorsement, execution of a transfer instrument and

payment of stamp duty. The depository accelerates the transfer process by

registering the ownership of shares in the name of the depository. Under a

depository system, transfer of security occurs merely by passing book entries in

the records of the depositories, on the persons entitled to receive corporate

benefits. In the other case, depository itself takes the responsibility of

distribution of corporate benefits.

Core Services of Demat Account

3-IN-1 ACCOUNT

Accounting Opening: Any investor who wishes to avail depository services

must first open an account with a depository participant of NSDL. The process

of opening a demat account is very similar to a bank account. The investor can

open an account with any depository participant of NSDL. An investor may

open an account with several DPs or he may open several accounts with a single

DP is free to fix its own fee structure. Investors have the freedom to choose a

DP based on criteria like convenience, comfort, service levels, safety, reputation

and charges. After exercising this choice, the investor has to enter into an

agreement with the DP the form and contents of this agreement are specified by

the Business Rules of NSDL. In this chapter, we deal with the procedure for

account opening under the NSDL system.

Types of Accounts: Type of depository account depends on the operations to be

performed. There are three types of demat accounts which can be opened with a

depository participant viz. (a) Beneficiary Account (b) Clearing Member

Account and (c) Intermediary  Account.

Beneficiary Accounts

This is an account opened by investors to hold their securities in dematerialized

form with a depository and to carry out the transaction of sale and purchase of

such securities in book-entry form through the depository system. A beneficiary

account holder is legally entitled for all rights and liabilities attached to the

securities (i.e. equity shares, debentures, government securities, etc.) held in that

accounts. Therefore, the account is called “beneficial owner account”. A

beneficiary account can be in the name of an individual, corporate, Hindu

Undivided Family (HUF), minor, bank, financial institution, trust etc. or the

broker himself for the purpose of his personal investments in demat form. The

accounts are opened with DP.

approved intermediary account with a DP of its choice for executing stock

lending and borrowing transaction made through them. An intermediary account

may be opened only after obtaining registration from SEBI under an approved

Stock Lending Scheme and getting the approval of the depository for opening

the account.

Operation of demat accounts based of power of attorney

A demat account can be operated by a power of attorney holder. In this regard,

it may be noted that

i. A power of Attorney executed to the promulgation of the

Depositories Act is valid and enforceable.

ii. It is the responsibility of the Depository Participant to verify

whether the Power of Attorney is adequate and sufficiently

authorizing the holder of the Power of Attorney to operate the

account of the beneficial owner.

iii. A sample clause is given hereunder which if it forms a part of the

Power of Attorney could suffice.

However it may be mentioned that a DP shall not obtain Power of Attorney

(POA) from its clients as a requirement for opening a demat account. Further,

the POA shall not contain the following clauses:

I. POA Holder Done has the sole authority to operate the account and

the account folder is/are restrained from operating the account.

II. Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS) books are denied to the account

holders who have executed  a POA

III. DPs are authorized to mere the securities kept under various

accounts of the clients.

IV. DPs will have a lien on the securities of the clients.

DPs are therefore required to review the POA document and if the POA

contains any clause similar to what has been stated above the POA should be

modified suitably. DPs must inform all those clients who have executed POA

about such changes and obtain a written confirmation from the clients that they

have taken note of the changes in the POA.

It may also be mentioned that where a client has executed a POA such

depository accounts can be operated both by the clients as well as by the POA

holder. Therefore, DPs should ensure that the signatures of the accounts holders

and the POA holder are captured in the DPM system and DPs are required to

provide DIS books to the clients who have executed a POA and allow the clients

to operate their accounts as well.

Further DPs are required to maintain separate accounts of the clients in

conformity with regulation 42 of Security and Exchange Board of India

(Depositories and Participants) Regulations 1996. Lien on the securities can be

only as per Regulation 58 of SEBI Regulation and as per the procedure laid

down in the bye Laws and business Rules of NSDL.

Closure of Account

Closure on Client’s Request: - DP can close a depository account on receipt of

an application in the prescribed format. The application should be made by the

account holder or by the entire joint holder. An account can be closed only

when there is no balance in the account. In case there is any balance in the

account sought to be closed, the following steps are necessary.

a. Dematerialization of all securities to the credit of the account  at the

time of making the application for closure

b. Transferring the balance to the credit of another account opened by

the same account holders either with the same participant or with a

different participant.

However, where demat request are pending for disposal for a long time in a

demat account and the client desires to close such an account the following

procedure maybe adopted by the client

Write a letter in the prescribed format to the issuer, requesting for

rejection of the pending dematerialization requests and send fresh

physical security to the client directly

Enclose a copy of the dematerialization request generated from DPM

system duly signed & stamped by the participant along with the aforesaid

letter to the issuer.

Before closing the account, the DP should ensure that all pending transaction

has been settled. The request for closure should be processed only after

ensuring that there is no balance lying in the account.

If a client makes a request for closure of account, DPs should provide the

Statement of Transaction (SOT) to the client for the period from the beginning

of the quarter in which the account is closed until the date of closure. Further,

the SOT should bear the words “Account Closed” and should be prominent. For

this purpose, DP can affix a rubber stamp or create a suitable system that will

clearly show on the SOT that the account has been closed.

Consolidation of Account

Some clients could have opened multiple accounts to dematerialize their shares

held in multiple combinations an sequence of names. However, they may not

need so many accounts after they have dematerialized their shares and may want

to bring all their share holdings into one of fewer accounts. This can be

achieved by using normal off market transfer instruction.

Closure by DP

The DP may also initiate closure of a client’s if the client has defaulted in

performing its obligations laid out in the client-participant agreement. The

participant should give sufficient notice to the client before initiating closure of

his account. The notice should clearly state the reasons of closure of account.

The process of closing account in such a case is the same that of client-initiated

closure.

Closure/Shifting of Clearing Account: - a clearing member may transfer its

clearing account from one DP to another DP. For this simultaneously

applications have to be made of closure of account to the earlier DP and for

opening of new clearing member account to the new DP forwards the

application to the depository for approval and allotment of a new CM-BP-ID.

Once the new CM-BP-ID is allotted, the new DP opens a new clearing account

and intimates the depository advises the old DP to close the account. The old

DP then closes the account and intimates the clearing member. All payout of

securities, subsequent to closure of old clearing account takes place in the new

account.

Freezing Accounts

Account freezing means suspending any further transaction from a depository

account until the account is unfrozen

1. If a written instruction is received from the client by the DP,

requesting freezing of account.

2. If a client makes an electronic request to his DP or to the

Depository in the form and manner as may be prescribed the

depository.

3. If orders are received by the DP depository from the Central of

State Government, SEBI or any order by court, tribunal, or

statutory authority.

4. If a request is received by the depository from a DP client.

5. If orders are passed by Disciplinary Action Committee (DAC) or if

DP becomes insolvent.

By freezing an account for debits only (preventing transfer of securities out of

the account) the client can receive securities in his account. An account can also

be frozen for debits as well as credits (preventing any movement of balances out

of the account). No transaction can take place in such an account until it is

reactivated.

A frozen account may be unfrozen or reactivated by taking the reverse steps.

1. On the valid written request of the account holder where he had

requested freezing.

2. On directions of depository made in pursuance of the order of the

appropriate authority

3. Changes in Client Details

expresses inability to personally visit the participant, the

application for change of address along with other documents can

be submitted though an authorized representative.

3. The client or its authorized representative should sign the

application once again in the presence of the officials of the DP.

4. The DP should verify the signature of the client on the application

with remarks “verified with original” and thereafter record the

change of address in the DPM system.

5. However in case DP could not verify the documents because the

records of the documents submitted by the client are kept at a

A holder of eligible securities in the depository system may get his physical

holdings converted   into electronic form by making a request through the DP

with whom he has his beneficiary account.

Prerequisites for Dematerialization Request

1. The registered holder of the securities should make the request

2. Securities to be dematerialized must be recognized by NDDL as

eligible. In other word only those securities who is ISIN has been

activated by NSDL can be dematerialized in the NSDL system.

3. The company/issuer should have established connectivity with

NSDL. Only after such connectivity is established the securities of

that company are recognized to be “available for dematerialization”

in the NSDL system.

4. The holder of securities should have a beneficiary account in the

same name as it appears on the security certificates to be

dematerialized.

5. The request should be made in the prescribed dematerialization

request form.

Dematerialization Process:

1. Client/investor submits the DRF (Demat Request Form) and

physical certificates to DP. DP checks whether the securities are

available for demat.

2. DP enters the demat request in his system to be sent to NSDL.

3. DP dispatches the physical certificates along with the DRF to the

R&T agent.

4. NSDL records the details of the electronic request the system and

forwards the request to the R&T agent.

5. R&T agent on receiving the physical document and the electronic

request verifies and checks them. Once the R&T agent is satisfied,

dematerialization of the concerned securities is electronically

confirmed to NSDL.

6. NSDL credits the dematerialized securities to the beneficiary

account of the investor and intimates the DP electronically. The DP

issues a statement of transaction to the client

Trading and Settlement

One of the basic services provided by NSDL is to facilitate transfer of securities

from one account to another at the instruction of the account holder. In NSDL

depository system both transferor and transferee have to give instruction to its

depository participants (DPs) for delivering (transferring out) and receiving of

securities.

Transfer of securities from one account to another may be done for any of

the following purposes.

a. Transfer due to a transaction done on a person to person basis is

called “off-market” transaction

b. Transfer arising out of a transaction done on a stock exchange

c. Transfer arising out of transmission and account closure.

The ID for an off-market trade or for a market trade has to be clearly indicated

in the form by marking appropriately. The form should be complete in all

respects. All the holders of the account have to sign the form. If the debit has to

be effected on a particular date in future, account holder may mention such date

in the space provided for ‘execution date’ in the form.

Settlement of off-market Transactions:

Off-Market Trade

1. Seller gives delivery instructions to his DP to move securities from

his account to the buyer’s account.

2. Buyer automatically receives the credit of the securities in to his

account on the basis of standing instruction for credits.

3. Buyer receives credit of securities in to his account only if he gives

receipt instructions if standing instructions have not been given.

4. DP needs to be extra careful in verifying the signature of the client

if large quantities of securities are being debited to the account.

5. Funds move from buyer to seller outside the NSDL system.

Settlement of Market-Transaction

Market Settlement-Demat Share

A market trade is one that is settled though participation of a clearing

Corporation. In the depository environment, the securities move through

account transfer. Once the broker on the stock exchange executes it, the seller

gives delivery instruction to his DP to transfer securities to his broker’s account.

The broker then has to complete the pay-in before the deadline prescribed by the

stock exchange. The broker removes securities from his account to (Clearing

Corporation / Clearing House) CC/CH of the stock exchange concerned, before

the deadline given by exchange.

The CC/CH gives pay-out and securities are transferred to the buying broker’s

account. The broker then gives delivery instructions to his DP to transfer

securities to the buyer’s account.

1. Seller gives delivery instructions to his DP to move securities from

his account to his broker’s account.

2. Securities are transferred from broker’s account to CC on the basis

of a delivery out instruction.

3. On pay-out, securities are moved from CC to buying broker’s

account.

4. Buying broker gives instruction and securities move to the buyer’s

account.

Market type

Stock exchanges offer different market segments in which trades can be done.

The segmentation is done by the type of settlement or type of trade.

Each of the segments is denoted ad ‘Market Type’ in NSDL depository system.

The stock exchange which offers these market types, generally, recognize these

settlements with a two character code, the DI slip should contain the market

type for which securities are being transferred to the clearing member. The

contract note/trade confirmation slip given by the broker/sub-broker will

indicate the market type.

Settlement Number

Trading periods of each of the market segments is identified by a settlement

number. Every settlement number has a trade beginning day, trade-ending day,

settlement pay-in day and settlement pay-out day. Stock exchanges divide a

period of one year in to several settlement periods and allocate settlement

number for each settlement-period. All these days collectively are called

‘settlement calendar’. DPM system will give complete details of settlement

calendar for each stock exchange.

Delivery Deadline

Stock exchange set a deadline time by which clearing member are expected to

deliver securities. Clearing member can deliver securities within the deadline

time only if they have received securities from their clients. In order to ensure

that clients give securities in time to the clearing member, SEBI has prescribed

deadline time by which clients have to give securities to clearing members.

SEBI has advised DPs to instruct their clients to submit the settlement

instructions on T+1 (in physical form up to 4.00p.m. and 6 p.m. in case of

electronic instructions) for pay-in of securities viz.; instruction, CM Pool to CM

Pool account transfers and Delivery-out instruction, etc. For example, pay-in for

trades executed on ‘Monday’ will be on Wednesday. Hence, Client will have to

submit instructions to their Participants (up to 4 p.m. in case of physical and up

to 6 p.m. in case of electronic instructions) on Tuesday. The client must submit

the delivery instruction slip to its Depository Participant before the DPs

acceptance deadline,

Automatic Delivery-out

1. Delivery-out instructions for moving securities from CM settlement

account to CM delivery account can be generated automatically by

the respective clearing corporations based on the net delivery

obligation of its clearing members. The clearing corporation can

generate auto Dos will be generated around the time of download

of the delivery obligations to the clearing members. Such clearing

members will not be required to give delivery –out instruction

forms to the participants for pay-in to the clearing corporation in

respect of the automatically generate Dos.

2. Auto DOs will not be generated in the following cases and the

clearing members will have to give delivery-out instruction forms

to their participants as usual:

a. Non pari-passu shares or multiple ISINs:

b. Irreversible delivery-out (IDO):

c. Shifting of CM settlement account from one participant to

another participant:

3. Clearing members will be required to give inter-settlement

instructions to the participants for securities lying in another

settlement as usual.

4. Participants can generate separate reports from the DPM both for

auto DOs and manual Dos.

5. All the existing features of DOs viz; remaining valid till the NSDL

deadline tine and partial delivery for insufficient balance will be

applicable for auto DOs also.

OPTIONS

An option is a contract, which gives the buyer the right to buy or sell

shares at a specific price, on or before a specific date. For this, the buyer

has to pay to the seller some money, which is called premium. There is no

obligation on the buyer to complete the transaction if the price is not

favorable to him.

To take the buy/sell position on index/stock options, Customer has to

place certain % of order value as margin. With options trading, Customer

can leverage on trading limit by taking buy/sell positions much more than

what Customer could have taken in cash segment.

The Buyer of a Call Option has the Right but not the Obligation to

Purchase the Underlying Asset at the specified strike price by paying a

premium whereas the Seller of the Call has the obligation of selling the

Underlying Asset at the specified Strike price.

The Buyer of a Put Option has the Right but not the Obligation to Sell the

Underlying Asset at the specified strike price by paying a premium

whereas the Seller of the Put has the obligation of buying the Underlying

Asset at the specified Strike price. By paying lesser amount of premium,

Customer can create positions under OPTIONS and take advantage of

more trading opportunities.

Electronic trading

Electronic trading eliminates the need for physical trading floors. Brokers can

trade from their offices, using fully automated serene-based processes. Their

workstations are connected to a Stock Exchange’s central computer via satellite

using very small aperture terminus (VSATs).

The orders placed by brokers reach the Exchange’s central computer and are

matched electronically. The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) and the National

Stock Exchange (NSE) are the country’s two leading Exchange.

There is 20 other regional Exchange, connected via the Inter-Connected Stock

Exchange (ICSE). The BSE and NSE allow nationwide trading via their VSAT

system.

not been clearly defined. Exploratory research helps determine the best research

design, data collection method and selection of subjects. Given its fundamental

nature, exploratory research often concludes that a perceived problem does not

actually exist.

Descriptive research, also known as statistical research, describes data and

characteristics about the population or phenomenon being studied. Descriptive

research answers the questions who, what, where, when and how

LITRATURE SURVEY

THE CAPITAL MARKET 

The capital market is the market for securities, where the companies and

government can raise long-term funds. In this money is lent for periods

longer than a year. The capital market includes the stock market and bond

market. The capital market consists of primary and secondary markets.

Primary market:

The primary market deal with the issue of new instruments by the

corporate sector such as equity shares, preference shares and debt

instruments. Central and State Government, various public sector

industrial units, statutory and other authorities such as state electricity

boards and port trusts also issue bonds/debt instruments.

The primary market in which public issue of securities is made through a

prospectus is a retail market and there is no physical location. Offer for

subscription to securities is made to investing community.

Secondary Market:

The secondary market or stock exchange is a market for trading and

settlement of securities that have already been issued. The secondary

market consists of 22 stock exchanges. The secondary market provides a

trading place for the securities already issued to be bought and sold. It

also provides liquidity to the initial buyers in the primary market to re-

offer the securities to any interested buyers at any price, if mutually

accepted.

SCOPE OF STUDY

After conducting the research at bonanza Securities Limited at Jaipur on

equity research, many stages are undertaken as guidance towards appearing

at conclusion like interaction with staff ,questionnaire survey and percentage

analysis.

As the questionnaire are targeted to get filled by general public who keeps

interest in investment and have an idea about equity .so I got the opportunity

to know certain facts about this securities market .

Presently in India, securities market is not so much established and popular.

There is only a small portion of people, who are active part of this market,

as investors. Most of the people invest only 20% to 40% of their saving in

this market and their basic criteria to invest in this market is achieving

higher returns. Most of the investors want to enjoy higher returns by

investing in this market.

Most of the investors, who are investing in this securities market, are

choosing the securities on the basic of goodwill of the company. Although

they prefer and believe that technical analysis produces good and accurate

results, but still as these technical analyses is not so easy to understand, they

choose their securities based on the reputation of the company. If we look

upon those people who are using technical analysis then we will find that

most of the people who choose the securities by doing technical analysis are

using moving average as the most easy and suitable tool.

Some people are investing in securities market by using market calls and

tips as the base to choose the securities. However, they are not so much

about the result of these market calls and tips. They do not believe that these

calls and tips are so much fruitful but as they are not very much aware

regarding the technical tools, they have to use market calls and tips.

It is the believe of investor that technical analysis is not very easy to

understand, but as the securities market is growing day by day so investors

are trying to understand these technical tools we can say now people are

being interested to learn about technical analysis. It is a good indication that

people are now interested and excited to know about technical analysis of

securities and they want to choose the securities on the basis of technical

analysis so all the companies related to securities market like Bonanza

should encourage and motivate their know investors and clients to use of

most easy technical tools to them.

LIMITATION OF STUDY

The various limitations that were found in market are as follows

Lack of awareness of stock market: Since the area is not known

before, it takes lot of time in convincing people to start investing in

share primarily in IPO’s.

Mostly people comfortable with traditional brokers: As people

are doing trading from their respective broker, they are quite

comfortable to trade via phone.

Some respondents are unwilling to talk: Either some respondents

do not have time or willing does not respond, as they are quite

annoyed with the phone call.

Lack of techno savvy people and poor internet penetration:

Since most of the people, are quite experienced and they are not

techno savvy. In addition, internet penetration is poor in India.

Inaccurate leads: Sometimes leads that were provided had errors

in it, which varied from only 5-digit phone number to wrong phone

number.

Misleading concepts: Some people think that shares are too risky

and just another name of gamble but they do not know it is not at

all that risky for long investors.

Facts and Findings

Fundamental Analysis helps us understand in which stock we should invest in

equity market there is continuous growth in number of contracts but fewer

understand on what basis they are investing.

The findings for the above research are as follows:-

People are not aware of using the online trading facilities

Bonanza has captured the market because of its brand name and the

brand awareness in the minds of the consumers.But people are yet to

know about its excellent service which would definitely help the

company to capture more and more new customer.

Customer feel that the brokage charged by Bonanza are very high as

compared to other brokage house but they are not aware of the various

facilities(margin trading, recommendation etc) provided by India

Bonanza to its customer which make it unique .

Many clients did not know about the change of RM. This leaves a bad

impression on the concerned client, damaging the reputation of the firm.

Many time clients are not given confirmation after the trade

Some time the database (including customer contact number and address)

maintained by the company is wrong that create a problem to the

company to have a regular touch with its customer.

SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTH

Customized Brokerage Charges – The brokerage charge by Bonanza is

among the least as compared to other brokerage firms in the industry. The

brokerage for Intraday varies from 0.01 to 0.03% and for Delivery it is

0.1 to 0.3%. The brokerage varies on the basis of volumes of trading

expected from the client. Bonanza also charges brokerage of 0.01% and

0.1% from some HNI’s.

No Annual Maintenance Charges – There is no Annual Maintenance

Charges (AMC) on Demat and Trading a/c which is there in almost every

other big brokerage firm.

Value Added Services – There are no charges for calling RM’s

(Relationship Managers) in relation to their a/c or trading. A client can

call any number of times to his RM to enquire about his a/c status or to

place any order which is chargeable in other brokerage firm. e.g. ICICI

DIRECT charges Rs 12 for enquiring about the a/c and Rs. 20 for placing

any order.

User Friendly Software - The software provided by Bonanza (Power

Bonanza) is very easy to use and reflects the price changes immediately

without any time lag. The client can easily place his order and see the

movement of price change of his favorite scripts without any time delay

while other companies like ICICI DIRECT has a time lag of almost 20-25

seconds or more.

Organized RMS (Risk Management System) – Bonanza has an

organized RMS and this is the reason why clients doesn’t suffer much

losses and his position is squared off automatically with the help of RMS.

This is the only reason why Bonanza suffered least losses as compared to

other big brokerage firm when market crashed.

WEAKNESS

Trading of Z category stocks - Z (b1, b2, s, t) category stocks are not

allowed to buy because there is danger of liquidity in the stocks and

attracts higher speculation. These are the stocks, which are mainly traded

in BSE, and Bonanza encourages its clients to trade only in NSE.

Time-consuming process – Every document has to be sent to HQ

(Gurgaon) because of which the processing of documentation takes time.

This centralization is costly also when it comes to sending each document

from different parts of the country to HQ.

OPPORTUNITY

The way ahead - There is a lot of opportunity available in mutual funds

and insurance sector being a pioneer in financial sector in its own way

Bonanza should foray into mutual fund and insurance sector.

Limited reach - Since Bonanza is not present in 2tier cities because of

which there is huge untapped market of rural and small urban sector.

THREATS

FDI in stock broking – As the competition in stock broking increasing

and SEBI’s new norms which allow FDI to enter in stock broking can

post a threat to Bonanza.

CONCLUSION

This securities market is about to grow in future very much with the growth of

equity research. There is very high competition in this market , there are many

companies which are providing different type of services to their clients and,

this market is centre of attraction to new entrepreneur because it is already

successful market and it is for sure that it will grow further, and there are many

opportunities lying ahead in the way.

Bonanza portfolio Limited is an active and well known participant of this

securities market, this is achieving great success by working very hard with

dedication. There is very good staff in this organization so it may facilitate its

clients in many ways, although there is competition but still it is doing its own

work and providing services to their clients up to the best extent.

Equity analysis is very important service of Bonanza Portfolio Ltd that it is

providing to its client .It provides the suggestion that which security is good for

the purpose of investment. For this project purpose, I have been gone through

with a research that has been conducted in Jaipur with a sample size of 160

investors. On the basis of this research I can conclude that most of the people

believe that technical analysis can provide more suitable and desirable results to

them .People are interested to now about this technical analysis part, for this we

just need to aware and encourage them.

There should be more awareness made about the portfolio management

services by giving more advertisement.

The bonanza PMS should go for tie-ups with the corporate to increase

business.

Bonanza portfolio limited should organize some events to build its Brand

Image in the minds of the people towards PMS.

As per customer’s point of view, they feel that bonanza portfolio limited

should open more  number of branches for the convenience of people.

RECOMMENDATION & SUGGESTIONS

For Brokerage Firms and Investors based on the study

Brokerage firms should consider educational institutes offering

professional and post graduate level courses as avenues of business.

Actively participating in seminars, putting up stalls could help them in

generating an interest towards capital markets.

Domestic Brokerage firms should collaborate with foreign trading firms

to allow investors to invest in foreign markets that offer returns

commensurate with the risk involved.

Brokerage Firms should be a source of reliable market information as

most investors consider personal analysis more important than broker’s

advice.

The investors should be provided information pertaining to studies that

are undertaken by experts to forecast trends.

They should provide tips on investment through messenger and sms’s but

this should be sent directly from the corporate offices rather than

individual relationship managers to increase the veracity of the tips.

The investors should be educated about online trading to avoid

misinterpretation information offered by the relationship managers.

For Bonanza

Bonanza is not present in 2-tier cities which lead to less business

generation for the company. So they should enter in 2 tier cities so that

they can capture the untapped market.

Bonanza does not deal in Z category shares which again lead to less

business generation. It should allow its investors to also trade in Z

category shares which would in turn lead to more business for the

company.
