INTRODUCTION

1. INTRODUCTION:-

1.1 NEED AND IMPORTANCE:

Project Work is a method of discovering the truth through critical thinking. A Project
may be defined as a scientifically evolved work plan devised to achieve the specific
objective and may be to create, expand and develop certain facilities in order to
increase the services in community. Project involves research and a study for clear and
lucid information and concept or matter effectively.
Project is a method of obtaining and evaluating data for the purpose of decision
process. Practically performed tasks help out to make the queries and doubts clear
related to the subject.
Project Objectives is an important dement in the project planning cycle. Project
objectives are concerned with defining what the project is expected to and to provide a
major of a performance for the project as a whole. Project work includes a field task
which provides a proper direction to tackle a situation.
Project work brings out a clear picture of a subject or matter which is to be placed
before. Project work is essentially an investigation, recording and analysis of evidence
to required knowledge. The inherent aim of every project work is gaining knowledge.
It is a tool used to solve the problems of individuals, institutions and society at large.
1.2 OBJECTIVES OF PROJECT WORK:
According to me the objective of project work is to get the experience and knowledge
of actual working of certain condition. While preparing this project I kept following
objectives

To know meaning of DEMAT Account.

To study essentials of DEMAT Account.
To study process of DEMAT Account.
To know how DEMAT Account is opened, operated and closure and eligibility for it.
To know its importance in banking sector in modern world.
To know numbers of customer operating it.

1.3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

Methodology is a process of collecting information. It is a systematic way of
presenting data. Using proper method of work forms a very base of any valuable

research. All research needs adequate and accurate data. Research requires a
deliberation and expertise.
I undertook the following methods and finalized my project with the help of my guide.
Field method In this method I visited

The Saraswat Co-operative Bank which

is a scheduled bank and got information about DEMAT Account.

Questionnaire Method In this method, I made a list of questions and got the answers
from the head of DEMAT Account in the bank.

1.4 Definition of Bank

Bank means "Any person, any institution or any company or any organisation which
accepts the deposits from the public which lent the money and which used invest
money is said as bank."

The term 'Banking' is defined as accepting for purpose of lending or investment of

deposit of money from the public repayable on demand or otherwise withdrawal by
cheque, draft order, or otherwise (section 5(b)) of negotiable.

Saraswat Bank is a Co-operative Bank. A co-operative bank is a financial entity

which belongs to its members, who are at the same time the owners and the customers
of their bank. Co-operative banks are often created by persons belonging to the same
local or professional community or sharing a common interest. Co-operative banks
generally provide their members with a wide range of banking and financial services.

1.5 Importance of Bank

Banks plays an important role in promoting economic development of a country. Bank

provides necessary funds for executive programme in the process of economic
development. Banks develops the habit of saving and this way banks get large
deposits, which helps effective supply of money. Directly or indirectly banks influence
and control prices, wages and various other allied fields of economic development.
They also provide safe deposit lockers facility to their customers. The banks increase
the transaction capacity of the customers by advancing loans to them when they
requires for additional funds to finance their expanded programme of transaction.

Co-operative banks are deeply rooted inside local areas and communities. They are
involved in local development and contribute to the sustainable development of their
communities, as their members and management board usually belong to the
communities in which they exercise their activities. By increasing banking access in
areas or markets where other banks are less present - SMEs, farmers in rural areas,
middle or low income households in urban areas - co-operative banks reduce banking
exclusion and foster the economic ability of millions of people. They play an
influential role on the economic growth in the countries in which they work in and
increase the efficiency of the international financial system. Their specific form of
enterprise, relying on the above-mentioned principles of organization, has proven
successful both in developed and developing countries

1.6 Evolution of banking

The Reserve Bank of India, India's central banking authority, was nationalized on
January 1, 1949 under the terms of the Reserve Bank of India (Transfer to Public
Ownership) Act, 1948 (RBI, 2005b).

In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered the Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks in India."

The Banking Regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of an existing
bank could be opened without a license from the RBI, and no two banks could have
common directors.

Arrival Of Foreign Banks

First foreign bank to arrive in India was Comptoir d'Escompte de Parisopened a

branch in Calcutta in 1860, and another in Bombay in 1862; HSBC established in
Bengalin 1869. Calcutta emerged as the banking centre in India being the business hub

Pre - Independence Phase

Period between 1906 and 1911 was of Swadeshi movement which inspired local
businessman and political figures to form banks of and for Indian community.

Swadeshi movement led to establishment of many private banks in India in South

Canara District. This region is known as Cradle of Indian Banking.

During First World War and Second World War and two years post independence
banking in India was challenging. At least94 banks in India failed between 1913
and1918 due to world war related economic turbulence.

Post- Independence

Partition of India adversely impacted banking in India. Goverment of India started

taking measures to improve the economic life of India. To regulate banking
in India following measures were taken.

The Reserve Bank of India, India's central banking authority, was nationalized on
January 1, 1949 under the terms of the Reserve Bank of India

In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered the Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks in India."

The Banking Regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of an existing
bank could be opened without a license from the RBI, and no two banks could have
common directors

Nationalisation

Except SBI all the banks were owned and controlled by private persons. By 1960
banking system in India had become an important tool for economic growth. Banking
system in India had emerged as the largest employer than Prime Minister Indira
Gandhi decided to nationalise commercial banks .14 largest commercial banks were
nationalised in 1969 followed by 6 more in 1980. In 1993 New Bank of India was
merged with Punjab National Bank

Liberalisation

In 1990 Narsimha Rao came with the policy of liberalization of banking in India.
Licenses were given to set up private banks and we saw setting up of tech savvy banks

such as Axis Bank(earlier known as UTI Bank),ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank . Along
with the growth of Indian economy, banking sector in India saw growth at a very rapid
pace. Thanks to RBI strict norms Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong
and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks in comparable economies in its
region.

The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with its corrective measures we
have seen 2008 world financial crises having minimal impact on Indian banking
structure.

them. Even today, our honorable founders inspire a sense of awe and respect in the
bank and amongst the shareholders.
The society was initially set up to help families in distress. Its objective was to provide
temporary accommodation to its members in eventualities such as weddings of

3.2 DEMATERIALISATION:Dematerialisation is a process by which a client can get physical certificates converted
into electronic balances.
An investor intending to dematearialise its securities needs to have an account with a
DP. The client has to deface and surrender the certificates registered in its name to DP.
After intimating NSDL electronically, the DP sends securities to the concerned
issuer/R&T agent. NSDL in turn informs the issuer/R&T agent electronically using
depository system, about the request for dematerialization. If the issuer/R&T agent
finds the certificate in order, it registers NSDL as holder of securities (the investor will
be beneficial owner) and communicated to NSDL confirmation of request
electronically. On receiving such confirmation, NSDL credits the securities in a
depository account of investor with DP.

FEATURES:-

 Holding in only those securities that are admitted for dematearilsation by NSDL can
be dematearilised
Only those holdings that are registered in the name account holder can be
dematearilised
Names of holders of securities should match with the names given for DEMAT
account
If some sets of joint holders have securities in different sequence of names, these join
holders by using Transposition Cum DEMAT facility can dematearialise the security in
same account even though the shares certificate are in different sequence of names. If
shares are in name combinations of x and y it cannot be dematearilised into account of
either or alone
Check the DEMAT performance of companies whose shares are to be given for
dematearilisation.
A client may in the normal chores receive DEMAT confirmation in about thirty days
from the date of submission of DEMAT request to DP.
PROCEDURE:The client (registered owner) to submit the request to DP in Dematearialisation Request
Form (DRF).
For dematearilisation, along with the certificates of securities to dematearilised. Before
submission, the client has to deface the certificates by writing SURRENDERED FOR
DEMATEARILISATION
The DP will verify the form is duly filled in and the number of certificates, number of
securities and security type(equity, debentures etc.) are as given in DRF. If the form
and security count is in order the DP will issue an acknowledgement slip duly signed
and stamped the client.
The DP will scrutinize the form and certificates this involves verification of client
signature on the dematearilisation request form with the specimen signature (the sign
on account opening form) if the signature differs the DP should ensure identity of

client.
Paid up status
ISIN (International Securities Identification Number)
Lock-in Status
Distinctive Numbers
In case securities are not in order they are returned to the client acknowledgement is

obtained. The DP will reject the request and return the DRF and securities in case
A single DRF is used to dematerialise the securities of more than one company.
The certificates are defaced in such a way that the material information is not readable.
It may advise the client to send the certificates to Issuer /R&T Agent and get new
securities issued in lieu thereof.

Part of the certificates pertaining to single DRF is partly paid-up, the DP will reject the
request and return the DRF along with certificates. The DP may advise the client to

send separate request for fully paid-up and partly paid-up securities.

certificates and also, certificates locked-in for different reasons should not be

submitted with a single DRF.

In case the securities are in the order the details are request as mentioned in the form
are entered in DPM (software provided by the NSDL to the DP) and a
dematerialisation request number (DRN) will be generated by the system.
The DRN so generated is entered in the space provided for the purpose in DRF.
The person other than the person who entered the data is expected to verify details
required for DRN. The request than released by the DP is forwarded electronically to
DM (Depository Module, NSDL Software System) by DPM.
DM forwards the request to the Issuer/R&T Agent electronically.
DP will fill the relevant portion i.e. the authorization portion of DRF and the DP will
punch the certificates on the company name, so that it does not destroy any
information on certificate.
DP will dispatch the certificate along with DRF and covering letter to Issuer/R&T
Agent.

memo to DP with or without DRF and security certificates depending upon reason of
rejection. The DP has to remove reasons for objection within 15 days of receiving
memo. If DP fails to remove the objections within 15 days, the Issuer may reject the
request and return DRF and accompanying certificates to the DP.

(The above Graph indicates the Rise and fall in opening of DEMAT Accounts)
From the above graph, we can interpret that in the year 2008 that there were positive
factors in opening of DEMAT account. People were interested to open DEMAT
accounts, but at the time intervals in the year 2009 there was a drastic fall in opening
of new DEMAT accounts, the decrease was due to share markets crashing down
heavily from 21,000 points to 16,000 and the holders started to sale their shares. As the
period moved on in the year 2010 the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
which is the governing body passed a law stating that accounts with zero balance
should not be in process and there was a further decline. In 2011, SEBI passed another
law that the person opening the new account should have a PAN card compulsorily.
And as we can see in the graph in 2012 the opening of DEMAT accounts is on a rise.

CONCLUSION

Conclusion:After studying the project, I understood the importance and the flourishing
returns of the investors in stock markets due to dematerialization and rematerialisation
of the account. As these facilities which were introduced, the two aspects expanded
rapidly with awareness of investors in investing the stock market. These processes
reduce the frauds and help the investors to show a drastic change.
Findings:Due to vast and proper use of IT and computer in the corporate world and
especially in the share market the work of dematerialization and rematerialisation has
become rapid and easy. Investors can now buy and sale shares in just few seconds.
Investors can get their statement of account whenever they wish with the process of
IDEAS. DEMAT Accounting has made share broking much easy.

As it has made easy through my work I have found out that there is increase
in the opening of DEMAT accounts.
