Executive Summary
The study is about describing the different services and products offered at SHCIL. Project mainly deals with how the resources of the organization are used in their dayto-day activities. For a finance manager it will be of great help to know how to properly utilize the resources of the organization. It is not only the theory, which will help in the corporate world, but also how things happen practically. Here there is an opportunity to learn how the things happen practically. Every day the various activities happening in the department are observed and understood carefully. The study initially concentrated on obtaining the information from the investors on various parameters. As it is a finance project mainly data was be available internally. After finishing this task, the actual analysis of the project has been started where certain important calculations has been done. This helped to come out with some conclusions. Also the data pertaining to some Demat Section Managers has been taken and analyzed which made to arrive at some interim conclusions as a part of project. Stock holding has various financial Products and Services to be offered to the clients but problem lies in the low promotional activities undertaken by it, due to which though it has the services not offered by other DP's it fails in captivating customers. Another problem faced by it is technology; systems at stock holding are not technologically upgraded: it follows old technology and modes of making entries of payments into systems. Due to system error payments to franchisees are not made on time, which in turn affects their business relationship. Since stock holding is into DP's business from long time it still follows old methods of operations. Thus, I got interested to conduct study on the Depository Services under the title Descriptive analysis of Depository Participants with reference to Stock Holding Corporation of India limited.
Introduction
Background
Depository
A depository is a facility for holding securities, which enables securities transactions to be processed by book entry. To achieve this purpose, the depository may immobilize the securities or dematerialise them (so that they exist only as electronic records).' India has chosen the dematerialisation route. In India, a depository is an organization, which holds the beneficial owner's securities in electronic form, through a registered Depository Participant (DP). A depository functions somewhat similar to a commercial bank. To avail of the services offered by a depository, the investor has to open an account with it through a registered DP.
Depository Participant
A Depository Participant (DP) is an agent of the depository who is authorized to offer depository services to investors. Financial institutions, banks, custodians and stockbrokers complying with the requirements prescribed by SEBI/ Depositories can be registered as DP.
Benefits of Depository

India has a well established capital market mechanism where in effective and efficient transfer of money capital or financial resources from the investing class to the entrepreneur class in the private and the public sector of the economy occur. There has been a shift of house hold savings from physical assets to financial assets, particularly the risk bearing securities such as shares and debentures. Capital market structure has also undergone sea Changes with number of financial services and banking companies, private limited companies coming into the scene which made the competition in the market stiffer. CAPITAL MARKET The capital market consists of primary market and secondary market segments. The primary market deals with the issue of new instruments by the corporate sector such as equity shares, preference shares and debentures. The public sector consisting of central and state governments, various public sector industrial units (PSUs), statutory and other authorities such as state electricity boards and port trust also issue bonds.
The primary market in which public issue of securities is made through a prospectus is a retail market and there is no physical location. The secondary market or stock exchange where existing securities are traded is an auction arena. Since 1995, trading in securities is screen based. Screen based trading has also made an appearance in India. The secondary markets consist of 23 stock exchanges including the NSE and OTCE and Inter Connected Stock Exchanges of India ltd. 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 buyer at a price, if mutually accepted. An active secondary market actually promotes the growth of the primary market and capital formation because investors in the primary market are assured of a continuous market and they can liquidate their investments in the stock exchange. DEPOSITORY Depository is an organization where the securities of a share holder are kept in the electronic form at the request of the shareholder through a medium of a depository participant (DP).

BENEFITS AND SAFETY OF DEPOSITORY SYSTEM In the depository system the ownership and transfer of securities take place by means of electronic book entries. At the outset, this system capital market of the dangers related to handling of paper. The benefits that are accrued by this system are: > Elimination of bad deliveries: Once the holdings of investors are dematerialized, the question of bad deliveries doesnt arise because both transfer deed and share certificate are eliminated in depository system. > Elimination of all risks associated with physical certificate: Dealing fl physical securities have the associated risks of loss of certificates during movements to and from the registrars. These expose the investor to cost of obtaining
18
duplicate certificates, advertisement etc., such problems dont arise in the depository environment. > No stamp duty: No stamp duty for transfer of equity instruments and units of mutual funds in this system. > Immediate transfer and registration of certificate: Once the securities are credited, to the investors account on payout, he becomes the legal owner of the securities. > Faster settlement cycle: The exclusive demat segment follow rolling settlement of T+2 days which enables faster turnover of stock and enhance liquidity with the investor. > Buyer is secured: In physical environment, the buyer is not secured since the shares purchased may not be transferred. This is not the case with depository system. > Faster disbursement of non-cash corporate benefits: NSDL provides for direct credit of non-cash corporate entitlements like rights, bonus etc., to an investors account ensuring faster disbursement. > Reduction in rate of interest on loan: Some banks provide these benefits against pledge of departmentalized securities. > Increase in maximum limit of advances: This increases from Rs.l0 lakh to Rs.20 Lakh per borrower. There is also a reduction in minimum margin from 50% to 25% by banks to advances against demat securities. > Reduction in brokerage: Brokers may provide a reduction in the brokerage of 0.25% to 0.5% for trading in dematerialised securities as it reduces their back office cost of handling paper. > Reduction in handling huge volumes of paper:
19
In the physical environment every entity involved in purchase or sale of securities was to handle paper and pass on the paper to the next entity. But in the depository system only the delivery instruction to be given by the client is in the form of paper. > Periodic status reports: DPs need to provide periodic reports to investors on their holding and transactions. >Elimination of problems related to change of address of investors, transmission etc: Investors have to inform the change of address to the OF which will be reflected in the database of all the companies where the investor is a registered holder of securities.

Features An insurance policy compensates you against the financial impact that can arise following loss, damage or destruction of your property (such as home or vehicle) or your health or life. A fundamental principle of insurance is to put you in the same financial position after a loss or accident that you enjoyed before the loss. This is relatively easy with repair or replacement of (say) a car, but is much more difficult with the loss of a life. The insurance policy is a contract and like any contract contains clauses and conditions. Claims are settled in accordance with the conditions detailed in the policy. SHCIL distributes Life insurance policies of LIC and Non-Life insurance policies of NIA. The service is available at any of over 100 branches of SHCIL.

Swot analysis
54
55
12. Since the main business of the company is providing DP services, unlike the service provided by banks it leads in specialization. 13. The variety of services offered has enabled SHCIL to have a much more competitive edge about financial services than its competitors.
WEAKNESS
1. Lack of aggressive marketing. 2. Improper billings. 3. Expensive. (Because separate account has to be opened according to holdings). 4. Less investment in advertising. 5. The clients are not provided any incentives or motivations, which would encourage them to make timely payment. 6. The company has not undertaken sufficient steps to create awareness among the clients about SHCIL. The only procedure adopted is the Internet. 7. The HR department is placed in Mumbai. So the newly recruited employees lack sufficient training facilities.
OPPORTUNITIES
1. E Broking. 2. Acquisition of smaller DPs. 3. Collaboration with banks. 4. New products. thereby increase the business. 6. The company can attract more number of franchises. 5. The company can take steps to increase the awareness among the clients and
THREATS
1. Increased cost as perceived by customers. 2. Fluctuating market conditions affect the business.
56
3. The number of competitors is increasing at a higher rate. Their charges are also low when compared to the charges of SHCIL. The nearest competitors are banks providing DP services along with their regular services. 4. The company does not charge any amount for closing the account. Since retaining the customer is very important and most of the customers will not think of closing the account at time of opening the account the company can charge some for closure. 5. The discounts and offers given by other DPs when compared to offers of SHCIL are leading to reduction in the number of clients.
