INDIA INFOLINE deals with…


(Products)

 EQUTIES…..
 MUTUAL FUND
 DERIVATIVES (F & O)
 COMODITIES
 PMS

Page | 17
 WEALTH MANAGEMENT
 INSURANCE

Equity (Shares):

We can say that a Share or Stock is a document issued by a company, which


entitles its holder to be one of the owners of the company. A share is issued by a
company or can be purchased from the stock market.

Mutual Fund:

A mutual fund is a type of Investment Company that gathers assets from


investors and collectively invests those assets in stocks, bonds, or money
market instruments. Individuals and institutions invest in a mutual fund by
purchasing shares issued by the fund. It is through these sales of shares that a
mutual fund raises the cash used to invest in its portfolio of stocks, bonds, and
other securities.
Through the collective investments of the mutual fund, each investor shares in the
returns from the fund’s portfolio while benefiting from professional investment
management, diversification, liquidity, and other benefits and services.

Derivative (F&O)-

Derivatives (Futures & Options) are ideal instruments to protect your portfolio
against risk. You can trade with index movements, hedge and leverage your
portfolio by limiting risk but keeping your upside unlimited.

Page | 18
Commodity

One such measure was to allow trading in equities-based derivatives on stock


exchanges in 2000. This step proved to be a shot in the arm of the capital market
and volumes soared within three years. The success of the capital market reforms
motivated the government and the Forward Market Commission (the
commodities market regulator) to kick off similar reforms in the commodities
market. Thus almost all the commodities were allowed to be traded in the futures
market from April 2003. To make trading in commodity futures more transparent
and successful, multi-commodity exchanges at national level were also conceived
and these next generation exchanges were allowed to start futures trading in
commodities on-line. Commodities exchanges have seen a surge in commodity
futures volumes in the last few months.

Portfolio Management Service

Our Portfolio Management Service is a product wherein an equity investment


portfolio is created to suit the investment objectives of a client. We at India
infoline invest your resources into stocks from different sectors, depending on
your risk-return profile. This service is particularly advisable for investors who
cannot afford to give time or don't have that expertise for day-to-day management
of their equity portfolio.

Wealth Management

Imagine a financial firm with the heart and soul of a two-person


organization. A world leading wealth management’s company that sits
down with you to understand your needs and goals. We offer you a
dedicated group for giving you the most personal attention at every

Insurance

An entry into this segment helped complete the client’s product basket;
concurrently, it graduated the Company into a one-stop retail financial
solutions provider. To ensure maximum reach to customers across
India, we have employed a multi pronged approach and reach out to
customers via our Network, Direct and Affiliate channels. Following
the opening of the sector in 1999-2000, a number of private sector
insurance service providers commenced operations aggressively and
helped grow the market.

OPTION
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 options you have to place certain %age of order value as
margin. With options trading, you can leverage on your trading limit by taking
buy/sell positions much more than what you could have taken in cash segment.

The Buyer of a call option has the right but not obligation to purchase the
underlying Asset at the specific strike price by paying a premium where as the

BROKERS

The Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956 [SCRA] defines ‘Stock


Exchange’ as any body of individuals, whether incorporated or not,
constituted for the purpose of assisting, regulating or controlling the
business of buying, selling or dealing in securities. Stock exchange

Page | 24
could be a regional stock exchange whose area of operation/jurisdiction
is specified at the time of its recognition or national exchanges, which
are permitted to have nationwide trading since inception. NSE was
incorporated as a national stock exchange.

Equity’/Share
Total equity capital of a company is divided into equal units of small
denominations, each called a share. For example, in a company the total equity
capital of Rs 2,00,00,000 is divided into 20,00,000 units of Rs 10 each. Each such
unit of Rs 10 is called a Share. Thus, the company then is said to have 20,00,000
equity shares of Rs 10 each. The holders of such shares are members of the
company and have voting rights.

Equity Market
In finance a share is a unit of account for various financial instruments
including stocks, mutual funds, limited partnerships, and REIT's. In British
English, the usage of the word share alone to refer solely to stocks is so common
that it almost replaces the word stock itself.

In simple Words, a share or stock is a document issued by a company, which


entitles its holder to be one of the owners of the company. A share is issued by a
company or can be purchased from the stock market.

By owning a share you can earn a portion and selling shares you get capital gain.
So, your return is the dividend plus the capital gain. However, you also run a risk

of making a capital loss if you have sold the share at a price below your buying
price

Trade in shares
Every transaction in the stock exchange is carried out through licensed members
called brokers. To trade in shares, you have to approach a broker However, since
most stock exchange brokers deal in very high volumes, they generally do not

Page | 25
entertain small investors. These brokers have a network of sub-brokers who
provide them with orders.

The general investors should identify a sub-broker for regular trading in shares
and place his order for purchase and sale through the sub-broker.

The sub/broker will transmit the order to his broker who will then execute it.

In equity market SEBI is actively participating without them equity market can’t
control so it necessary to know about SEBI.

Index
An Index shows how a specified portfolio of share prices is moving in order to
give an indication of market trends. It is a basket of securities and the average
price movement of the basket of securities indicates the index movement, whether
upwards or downwards.

Depository
A depository is like a bank wherein the deposits are securities (viz. shares,
debentures, bonds, government securities, units etc.) in electronic form.

Dematerialization

Dematerialization is the process by which physical certificates of an investor are


converted to an equivalent number of securities in electronic form and credited to
the investor’s account with his Depository Participant (DP).

SECURITIES
Securities:
The definition of ‘Securities’ as per the Securities Contracts Regulation Act

Page | 26
(SCRA), 1956, includes instruments such as shares, bonds, scrips, stocks or other
marketable securities of similar nature in or of any incorporate company or body
corporate, government securities, derivatives of securities, units of collective
investment scheme, interest and rights in securities, security receipt or any other
instruments so declared by the Central Government.

Function of Securities Market:


Securities Markets is a place where buyers and sellers of securities can enter into
transactions to purchase and sell shares, bonds, debentures etc. Further, it
performs an important role of enabling corporate, entrepreneurs to raise resources
for their companies and business ventures through public issues. Transfer of
resources from those having idle resources (investors) to others who have a need
for them (corporate) is most efficiently achieved through the securities market.
Stated formally, securities markets provide channels for reallocation of savings to
investments and entrepreneurship. Savings are linked to investments by a variety
of intermediaries, through a range of financial products, called ‘Securities’.

REGULATOR

Why does Securities Market need Regulators?

Page | 27
The absence of conditions of perfect competition in the securities market makes
the role of the Regulator extremely important. The regulator ensures that the
market participants behave in a desired manner so that securities market continues
to be a major source of finance for corporate and government and the interest of
investors are protected.

Who regulates the Securities Market?

The responsibility for regulating the securities market is shared by Department of


Economic Affairs (DEA), Department of Company Affairs (DCA), Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
.

SECURITY EXCHANGE BOARD OF INDIA (SEBI)

PARTICIPANTS

Participants in the Securities Market:

Page | 29
The securities market essentially has three categories of participants, namely, the
issuers of securities, investors in securities and the intermediaries, such as
merchant bankers, brokers etc. While the corporate and government raise
resources from the securities market to meet their obligations, it is households
that invest their savings in the securities market.

Is it necessary to transact through an intermediary?

It is advisable to conduct transactions through an intermediary. For example you


need to transact through a trading member of a stock exchange if you intend to
buy or sell any security on stock exchanges. You need to maintain an account
with a depository if you intend to hold securities in demat form.
You need to deposit money with a banker to an issue if you are subscribing to
public issues. You get guidance if you are transacting through an intermediary.
Chose a SEBI registered intermediary, as he is accountable for its activities. The
list of registered intermediaries is available with exchanges, industry associations
etc.

Segments of Securities Market


The securities market has two interdependent segments: the primary (new issues)
market and the secondary market. The primary market provides the channel for

Page | 32
sale of new securities while the secondary market deals in securities previously
issued.
1. PRIMARY MARKET
2. SECONDARY MARKET

1. PRIMARY MARKET

Role of the Primary Market

The primary market provides the channel for sale of new securities. Primary
market provides opportunity to issuers of securities; Government as well as
corporate, to raise resources to meet their requirements of investment and/or
discharge some obligation.
They may issue the securities at face value, or at a discount/premium and these
securities may take a variety of forms such as equity, debt etc. They may issue the
securities in domestic market and/or international market.

Face Value of a share/debenture

The nominal or stated amount (in Rs.) assigned to a security by the issuer. For
shares, it is the original cost of the stock shown on the certificate; for bonds, it is
the amount paid to the holder at maturity. Also known as par value or simply par.
For an equity share, the face value is usually a very small amount (Rs. 5, Rs. 10)
and does not have much bearing on the price of the share, which may quote
higher in the market, at Rs. 100 or Rs. 1000 or any other price. For a debt
security, face value is the amount repaid to the investor when the bond matures
(usually, Government securities and corporate bonds have a face value of Rs.
100). The price at which the security trades depends on the fluctuations in the
interest rates in the economy.

Premium and Discount in a Security Market

Securities are generally issued in denominations of 5, 10 or 100. This is known as
the Face Value or Par Value of the security as discussed earlier. When a security
is sold above its face value, it is said to be issued at a Premium and if it is sold at
less than its face value, then it is said to be issued at a Discount.

ISSUE OF SHARES

Why do companies need to issue shares to the public?


Most companies are usually started privately by their promoter(s). However, the
promoters’ capital and the borrowings from banks and financial institutions may
not be sufficient for setting up or running the business over a long term. So
companies invite the public to contribute towards the equity and issue shares to
individual investors. The way to invite share capital from the public is through a
‘Public Issue’. Simply stated, a public issue is an offer to the public to subscribe
to the share capital of a company. Once this is done, the company allots shares to
the applicants as per the prescribed rules and regulations laid down by SEBI.

Different kinds of issues

Primarily, issues can be classified as a Public, Rights or Preferential issues (also


known as private placements). While public and rights issues involve a detailed
procedure, private placements or preferential issues are relatively simpler. The
classification of issues is illustrated below:

• Initial Public Offering (IPO) is when an unlisted company makes


either a fresh issue of securities or an offer for sale of its existing securities
or both for the first time to the public. This paves way for listing and
trading of the issuer’s securities.

• A follow on public offering (Further Issue) is when an already


listed company makes either a fresh issue of securities to the public or an
offer for sale to the public, through an offer document.

Page | 34
• Rights Issue is when a listed company which proposes to issue fresh
securities to its existing shareholders as on a record date. The rights are
normally offered in a particular ratio to the number of securities held prior
to the issue. This route is best suited for companies who would like to raise
capital without diluting stake of its existing shareholders.

• A Preferential issue is an issue of shares or of convertible securities by


listed companies to a select group of persons under Section 81 of the
Companies Act, 1956 which is neither a rights issue nor a public issue. This
is a faster way for a company to raise equity capital. The issuer company
has to comply with the Companies Act and the requirements contained in
the Chapter pertaining to preferential allotment in SEBI guidelines which
inter-alia include pricing, disclosures in notice etc.

Categories of shares

Group A: Shares in this category have a high Liquidity, Market


Capitalization and Capital Appreciation.

Group B1 and B2: Similar to A, but with a slightly lower Market


Capitalization and Appreciation but good liquidity. There are
financially healthy stocks.
Group C: It includes the odd lots of Categories of A, B1 and B2. As u
may be aware, Shares/Stocks are sold in Lots, any ODD lot remaining
among the A, B1, B2 Groups, are put under C Category.
Group F: It is a Debt Market Segment (Note A. B1.B2 are all only
Equities)
Group T: Their settlement needs to be done by DELIVERY only.
Trading under "T", means, actual delivery of Scrip’s is warranted.
Group Z: Suspended Lots of Shares. They are suspended due to non-
compliance of SEBI Norms.

Page | 35
Issue price

The price at which a company's shares are offered initially in the primary market
is called as the Issue price. When they begin to be traded, the market price may be
above or below the issue price.

Market Capitalization

The market value of a quoted company, which is calculated by multiplying its


current share price (market price) by the number of shares in issue, is called as
market capitalization. E.g. Company A has 120 million shares in issue. The
current market price is Rs. 100. The market capitalization of company A is Rs.
12000 million.
Initial Public Offer (IPO)

An Initial Public Offer (IPO) is the selling of securities to the public in the
primary market. It is when an unlisted company makes either a fresh issue of

Page | 36
securities or an offer for sale of its existing securities or both for the first time to
the public. This paves way for listing and trading of the issuer’s securities. The
sale of securities can be either through book building or through normal public
issue.

Who decides the price of an issue?

Indian primary market ushered in an era of free pricing in 1992. Following this,
the guidelines have provided that the issuer in consultation with Merchant Banker
shall decide the price. There is no price formula stipulated by SEBI. SEBI does
not play any role in price fixation. The company and merchant banker are
however required to give full disclosures of the parameters which they had
considered while deciding the issue price. There are two types of issues, one
where company and Lead Merchant Banker fix a price (called fixed price) and
other, where the company and the Lead Manager (LM) stipulate a floor price or a
price band and leave it to market forces to determine the final price (price
discovery through book building process).

How does one know if shares are allotted in an IPO/offer


for sale? What is the timeframe for getting refund if shares
not allotted?
As per SEBI guidelines, the Basis of Allotment should be completed with 15 days
from the issue close date. As soon as the basis of allotment is completed, within 2
working days the details of credit to demat account / allotment advice and
dispatch of refund order needs to be completed. So an investor should know in
about 15 days time from the closure of issue, whether shares are allotted to him or
not.

Does NSE provide any facility for IPO?


Yes. NSE’s electronic trading network spans across the country providing access
to investors in remote areas. NSE decided to offer this infrastructure for

Page | 37
conducting online IPOs through the Book Building process. NSE operates a fully
automated screen based bidding system called NEAT IPO that enables trading
members to enter bids directly from their offices through a sophisticated
telecommunication network. Book Building through the NSE system offers
several advantages:
• The NSE system offers a nation wide bidding facility in securities
• It provide a fair, efficient & transparent method for collecting bids using
the latest electronic trading systems
• Costs involved in the issue are far less than those in a normal IPO
• The system reduces the time taken for completion of the issue process
The IPO market timings are from 10.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. On the last day of the
IPO, the session timings can be further extended on specific request by the Book
Running Lead Manager.

What is ‘Lock-in’?

‘Lock-in’ indicates a freeze on the sale of shares for a certain period of time.
SEBI guidelines have stipulated lock-in requirements on shares of promoters
mainly to ensure that the promoters or main persons, who are controlling the
company, shall continue to hold some minimum percentage in the company after
the public issue.

SEBI’s Role in an Issue

Any company making a public issue or a listed company making a rights issue of
value of more than Rs 50 lakes is required to file a draft offer document with
SEBI for its observations. The company can proceed further on the issue only
after getting observations from SEBI. The validity period of SEBI’s observation
letter is three months only i.e. the company has to open its issue within three
months period.

2. SECONDARY MARKET
Page | 38
Secondary market refers to a market where securities are traded after
being initially offered to the public in the primary market and/or listed
on the Stock Exchange. Majority of the trading is done in the secondary
market.
Secondary market comprises of equity markets and the debt markets.

Role of the Secondary Market

For the general investor, the secondary market provides an efficient platform for
trading of his securities. For the management of the company,
Secondary equity markets serve as a monitoring and control conduit—by
facilitating value-enhancing control activities, enabling implementation of
incentive-based management contracts, and aggregating information (via price
discovery) that guides management decisions.

Difference between the Primary Market and the Secondary


Market

In the primary market, securities are offered to public for subscription for the
purpose of raising capital or fund. Secondary market is an equity trading venue in
which already existing/pre-issued securities are traded among investors.
Secondary market could be either auction or dealer market. While stock exchange
is the part of an auction market, Over-the-Counter (OTC) is
a part of the dealer market.

STOCK EXCHANGE

Page | 39
Role of a Stock Exchange in buying and selling shares

The stock exchanges in India, under the overall supervision of the regulatory
authority, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), provide a trading
platform, where buyers and sellers can meet to transact in securities. The trading
platform provided by NSE is an electronic one and there is no need for buyers and
sellers to meet at a physical location to trade. They can trade through the
computerized trading screens available with the NSE trading members or the
internet based trading facility provided by the trading members of NSE.

Leading Stock exchanges in India

Currently, two stock exchanges in India,

• National Stock Exchange (NSE) and


• Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)

1.NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE (NSE)

Page | 40
The National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE), set up in the year
1993, is today the largest stock exchange in India and a preferred exchange for
trading in equity, debt and derivatives instruments by investors. NSE has set up a
sophisticated electronic trading, clearing and settlement platform and its
infrastructure serves as a role model for the securities industry. The standards set
by NSE in terms of market practices; products and technology have become
industry benchmarks and are being replicated by many other market participants.
It provides a screen-based automated trading system with a high degree of
transparency and equal access to investors irrespective of geographical location.

The high level of information dissemination through the on-line system has
helped in integrating retail investors across the nation. The exchange has a
network in more than 350 cities and its trading members are connected to the
central servers of the exchange in Mumbai through a sophisticated
telecommunication network comprising of over 2500 VSATs. NSE has around
850 trading members and provides trading in over 1000 equity shares and 2500

Page | 41
debt securities. Besides this, NSE provides trading in various derivatives products
such as index futures, index options, stock futures, stock options and interest rate
futures.

At NSE, it has always been our endeavor to continuously upgrade the skills and
proficiency of the Indian investor. Since, financially literate investors are the
backbone of the securities market, knowledge and awareness about the securities
market is of the foremost concern to us, starting with the most basic of
information being made available as the first step.

This booklet has therefore been prepared for those of you who are keen to acquire
some basic but key information about the stock markets as an initial step towards
becoming a more informed investor. We hope this booklet will act as a means of
satisfying some of your initial queries on the stock markets.

2.BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE (BSE)

Page | 42
Bombay Stock Exchange Limited is the oldest stock exchange in Asia with a
rich heritage. Popularly known as "BSE", it was established as "The Native Share
& Stock Brokers Association" in 1875. It is the first stock exchange in the country
to obtain permanent recognition in 1956 from the Government of India under the
Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956.The Exchange's pivotal and pre-
eminent role in the development of the Indian capital market is widely recognized
and its index, SENSEX, is tracked worldwide. Earlier an Association of Persons
(AOP), the Exchange is now a demutualised and corporatised entity incorporated
under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to the BSE
(Corporatization and Demutualization) Scheme, 2005 notified by the Securities
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Page | 43
The BSE Sensex or Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive Index is a value-
weighted index composed of 30 stocks with the base April 1979 = 100. It consists
of the 30 largest and most actively traded stocks, representative of various sectors,
on the Bombay Stock Exchange. These companies account for around one-fifth of
the 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 reflects current market conditions.

The abbreviated form "Sensex" was coined by Deepak Mohoni around 1990
while writing market analysis columns for some of the business newspapers and
magazines. It gained popularity over the next year or two.

The stock market has grown by over ten times from June 1990 to today. Using
information from April 1979 onwards, the long-run rate of return on the BSE
Sensex can be estimated to be 0.52% per week (continuously compounded) with a
standard deviation of 3.67%. This translates to 27% per annum, which translates
to roughly 18% per annum after compensating for inflation.

STOCK TRADING

Screen Based Trading

The trading on stock exchanges 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. This imposed limits on trading
volumes and efficiency. In order to provide efficiency, liquidity and transparency,
NSE introduced a nationwide, on-line, fully automated screen based trading
system (SBTS) where a member can punch into the computer the quantities of a
security and the price at which he would like to transact, and the transaction is
executed as soon as a matching sale or buy order from a counter party is found.

NEAT

NSE is the first exchange in the world to use satellite communication technology
for trading. Its trading system, called National Exchange for Automated Trading
(NEAT), is a state of-the-art client server based application. At the server end all
trading information is stored in an in memory database to achieve minimum
response time and maximum system availability for users. It has uptime record of
99.7%. For all trades entered into NEAT system, there is uniform response time
of less than one second.

Page | 45
TYPES OF TRADERS
Hedgers :
Hedgers are those who protect themselves from the risk associated with the price
of an asset by using derivatives. A person keeps a close watch upon the prices
discovered in trading and when the comfortable price is reflected according to his
wants, he sells futures contracts. In this way he gets an assured fixed price of his
produce.
In general, hedgers use futures for protection against adverse future price
movements in the underlying cash commodity. Hedgers are often businesses, or
individuals, who at one point or another deal in the underlying cash commodity.

Speculators :
Speculators are some what like a middle man. They are never interested in actual
owing the commodity. They will just buy from one end and sell it to the other in
anticipation of future price movements. They actually bet on the future movement
in the price of an asset.

They are the second major group of futures players. These participants include
independent floor traders and investors. They handle trades for their personal
clients or brokerage firms.

Arbitrators :
According to dictionary definition, a person who has been officially chosen to
make a decision between two people or groups who do not agree is known as
Arbitrator. In commodity market Arbitrators are the person who takes the
advantage of a discrepancy between prices in two different markets. If he finds
future prices of a commodity edging out with the cash price, he will take
offsetting positions in both the markets to lock in a profit. Move over the
commodity futures investor is not charged interest on the difference between
margin and the full contract value.

Page | 46
How does an investor get access to internet based trading
facility?
There are many brokers of the NSE who provide internet based trading facility to
their clients. Internet based trading enables an investor to buy/sell securities
through internet which can be accessed from a computer at the investor’s
residence or anywhere else where the client can access the internet. Investors need
to get in touch with an NSE broker providing this service to avail of internet
based trading facility.

Contract Note

Contract Note is a confirmation of trades done on a particular day on behalf of the


client by a trading member. It imposes a legally enforceable relationship between
the client and the trading member with respect to purchase/sale and settlement of
trades. It also helps to settle disputes/claims between the investor and the trading
member. It is a prerequisite for filing a complaint or arbitration proceeding
against the trading member in case of a dispute. A valid contract note should be in
the prescribed form, contain the details of trades, stamped with requisite value
and duly signed by the authorized signatory. Contract notes are kept in duplicate,
the trading member and the client should keep one copy each.
After verifying the details contained therein, the client keeps one copy and returns
the second copy to the trading member duly acknowledged by him.

Contract note issued by the stock broker


A broker has to issue a contract note to clients for all transactions in the form
specified by the stock exchange. The contract note inter-alia should have
following:

• Name, address and SEBI Registration number of the Member broker.


• Name of partner/proprietor/Authorized Signatory.
• Dealing Office Address/Tel. No./Fax no., Code number of the member
given by the Exchange.

Page | 47
• Contract number, date of issue of contract note, settlement number and
time period for settlement.

• Constituent (Client) name/Code Number.


• Order number and order time corresponding to the trades.
• Trade number and Trade time.
• Quantity and kind of Security bought/sold by the client.
• Brokerage and Purchase/Sale rate.
• Service tax rates, Securities Transaction Tax and any other charges levied
by the broker.
• Appropriate stamps have to be affixed on the contract note or it is
mentioned that the consolidated stamp duty is paid.
• Signature of the Stock broker/Authorized Signatory.

Why should one trade on a recognized stock exchange only


for buying/selling shares?

An investor does not get any protection if he trades outside a stock exchange.
Trading at the exchange offers investors the best prices prevailing at the time in
the market, lack of any counter-party risk which is assumed by the clearing
corporation, access to investor grievance and redressed mechanism of stock
exchanges, protection up to a prescribed limit, from the Investor Protection Fund
etc.

How to know if the broker or sub broker is registered?

One can confirm it by verifying the registration certificate issued by SEBI. A


broker's registration number begins with the letters ‘INB’ and that of a sub broker
with the letters ‘INS’.

Page | 48
Precautions must one take before investing in the stock
markets

Here are some useful pointers to bear in mind before you invest in the markets:
• Make sure your broker is registered with SEBI and the exchanges and do
not deal with unregistered intermediaries.
• Ensure that you receive contract notes for all your transactions from your
broker within one working day of execution of the trades.
• All investments carry risk of some kind. Investors should always know the
risk that they are taking and invest in a manner that matches their risk
tolerance.
• Do not be misled by market rumors, luring advertisement or ‘hot tips’ of
the day.
• Take informed decisions by studying the fundamentals of the company.
Find out the business the company is into, its future prospects, quality of
management, past track record etc Sources of knowing about a company
are through annual reports, economic magazines, and databases available
with vendors or your financial advisor.
• If you’re financial advisor or broker advises you to invest in a company
you have never heard of, be cautious. Spend some time checking out about
the company before investing.
• Do not be attracted by announcements of fantastic results/news reports,
about a company. Do your own research before investing in any stock.
• Do not be attracted to stocks based on what an internet website promotes,
unless you have done adequate study of the company.
• Investing in very low priced stocks or what are known as penny stocks does
not guarantee high returns.
• Be cautious about stocks which show a sudden spurt in price or trading
activity.
• Any advice or tip that claims that there are huge returns expected,
especially for acting quickly, may be risky and may to lead to losing some,
most, or all of your money.

This brand image should be further levered by the company to increase its market

Interpretation: although there is sufficiently high brand equity among the

concentrate more towards promotional tools and increase its focus on product
awareness rather than brand awareness.

Interpretation: This shows that even with sufficiently high Brand Equity,
INDIA INFOLINE ranks only 3rd amongst the Demat Account providers. This is
probably because of two main reasons.
1. Lack of promotion and unfocussed approach towards Product awareness.
2. Non – transparent marketing policies of the company.
Hence, the company should crystallize its products and should indulge in
aggressive marketing and promotion.

Interpretation: In spite of the huge returns that the share market promises, we
see that there is still a dearth of active trade and investors. This is because of non
transparent structure of the Indian share market and the skepticism of the target

efficient bureaucratic intervention on the part of the Government.

Interpretation: This shows that people invest only up to 10% of their earnings

the Indian stock market. Hence, effective and efficient steps should be undertaken
to woo the customers to investment more in the lucrative stock market.

Hence, the company should indulge in to aggressive marketing and promotional
methods and should approach this problem in a more structured format.

SWOT ANALYSIS

Of India Infoline ltd.

Page | 83
A SWOT analysis focuses on the internal and external
environments, examining strengths and weaknesses in
the internal environment and opportunities and threats
in the external environment.

STRENGTHS
Services

As products of INDIA INFOLINE is a extremely innovative product with very


less cost. Services like online trading facility, institutional and domestic
broking, customized research reports with almost 80% efficiency etc give
INDIA INFOLINE an edge over its competitors. INDIA INFOLINE provides

Page | 84
other support services that make retail investors more confident and assured
with their trading. SMS alerts (allowing traders and investors to make the
most of the available opportunities), Softer, intangible features like imagery,
equity driving preference. Through efficient trading processes Investors can
place their orders directly on the Internet, do all the information seeking and
basically own the investing process.

Distribution Network

We have a growing network of 150 branches and more than 300 business partners
spread across 180 cities in India and a fully operational international office at
London
OUR target is to have 350 branches and 1000 business partners in 300 cities of
India and more than 7 International offices by the end of 2006.
Unlike a traditional broking firm, INDIA INFOLINE group works on the
philosophy of partnering for wealth creation.

Products
Company’s product line is quite flexible in the sense that there is a product for
every kind of investors. Also all the products cover all the loop holes of all the
products offered by the other competitors like low cost, user friendly online
trading services etc.

WEAKNESS

Branding

Though the company has efficient products but large part of investment interested
population does not know the company. The most basic expectation for a trader or
investor when one begins trading is that one must get timely delivery of shares

Page | 85
and proceeds from sale of shares. Also ones cash balances with the broker must
be safe and secure. Though this confidence in the broker comes with time and
experience, good and transparent practices also play a major role in imbibing
confidence in traders

Competition from Banks

Most of the banks due to good branding have the faith of the customers of their
banking database. So they enjoy the liberty of huge database and customers find it
more reliable to trade there rather than with a unknown broker. Also banks like
HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank have the advantage of linking the trading accounts
of their customers to saving accounts. This makes trading easier, and at the same
time a trader withdraws exactly as much money from his account as is needed to
complete the trade. Similarly sales proceeds are credited directly to saving
account.

OPPORTUNITIES

The external environment analysis may reveal certain new opportunities for profit
and growth.

Page | 86
Ever-Increasing Market

After the NSE brought the screen based trading system stock markets are now
more secured which has attracted lot of retail investors and the demand is
increasing day by day. This has resulted in improved liquidity and heavy volumes
on transactions. INDIA INFOLINE is one of the early entrants here. As to how
much it will roar and how swift it can swoop on the market, the future alone can
answer such queries. INDIA INFOLINE has been a mega player and is known for
being a mover of stocks. It is also known for putting big deals through and enjoys
good networking with the FIIs. It has been dynamic enough to move with the
times and capture the opportunities that the market throws up from time to time.

Improving Technology

In country like India technology is always improving which gives the company a
chance to keep on improving their product with time whereas for the small
players like local brokers it will be difficult to keep the same pace as the changing
technology. Also with SEBI lying down some strict guidelines small brokers are
finding it harder to retain the customers with no research department and small
capital. The traditional business model is highly dependent on a large network of
sub-brokers, and many established players may not have systems (technology,
customer service, etc.) capable of directly servicing so many retail customers.

Unfulfilled Needs Of The Customers

With so many competitors offering their products in the market but no one is able
to completely satisfy the customers. Some have the problem of lack of
information or some were scared of volatility of the stock markets. INDIA
INFOLINE has the opportunity to tap this unsatisfied set of customers and to
make hold in the market. The Internet serves to break all barriers to information,
as it offers an extremely hassle-free investing platform. And, INDIA INFOLINE
hopes to fully utilize and capitalize on this platform. This original idea by INDIA

Page | 87
INFOLINE itself was born out of the consumer's need for a more transparent,
easy to understand and convenient option of investing in stocks.

Education Level
The education level in the country is improving year after year as far as
technology goes. With that the understanding of the stock market is also
increasing and a lot of retail investors are steeping in the markets which are being
shown by increasing volumes, transactions and indices.

THREATS
New Competitors

A lot of new competitors are trying to enter the market in this bullish run to taste
the flavor of this cherry. This is creating a lot of competition for large players like
INDIA INFOLINE and it is creating little confusion in the minds of the customers
about the services provided by the broker. Also many banking firms are entering
into the market with huge investment. Competitors like ICICI, kotuku; HDFC, 5-
paisa etc. are posing a lot of threats to the company.

Page | 88
Technology Based Business
Online trading is totally based on the technology which is quite complex.
Typically, the technology solution has to start from the Internet front-end
(or the screen that you see when you begin trading). Then it needs to get into
the 'middle tier' of risk management systems that assess data from banks and
depository participants (DP), calculate client risk at that point in time, and
give the 'Go/No go' advice to the trade. So technology is a kind of threat
because unless until it is working properly it is good but internet is not that
safe. Though a lot of cyber laws are being made but not yet executed.

CONCLUSION

In Equity and online trading, INDIA INFOLINE have mainly


competition with kotakstreet.com, ICICIdirect.com, HDFC sec.com,
5paisa.com comes at no. retail broker. It has an advantage of being in
this industry for more than 8 decades. It has launched its website in
2000 and were among the first player in the online share trading. The
INDIA INFOLINE has decided to spend its advertisement budget
through four medias i.e. television, print, web and outlets. From the
above analysis we can point out some points:
Page | 89
1. INDIA INFOLINE account opening charges are lower than other
competitors. INDIA INFOLINE is less flexible to cut down its
account opening charges on the other side; some of the brokers
are offering free account opening to high net worth customers.

2. The charges of demat account are reasonable at Rs. 500/- but


India bulls is offering pool account with no annual maintenance
charges.

3. INDIA INFOLINE provides trading in NSE, BSE and derivatives.


It is also about to launch online mutual funds and arbitrage
facility is not available to customers

4. INDIA INFOLINE is the only one that does not have any demat
transaction charges either on buying or selling

5. Unlimited toll free calls service is provided to customer in


Indiainfoline.

6. INDIA INFOLINE accept offline payment from other banks also


but kotakstreet.com icicidirect.com, hdfcsec.com clients have
compulsion to open an online account

7. BTST facility is available on almost all scrip’s of NSE in India


infoline, India bulls but this facility is mot providing by
HDFCsec.com, kotakstreet offers it only for 75% of share value
and icicidirect.com gives it only on 127 scripts.

8. Sms alerts facility is mot available at hdfcsec.com, 5paisa.com


and India bulls.

Page | 90
9. INDIA INFOLINE research reports come in client e-mail at free
of cost around 5-6 times in a day. But some brokers charged for it
and some provide it only at once in a day, while it is paid in
indiabulls, icicidirect.com and 5paisa.com.

10. Lowest Brokerage provider.

To sum up, we can say that computerization and automation are not
to be avoided. Technology has been able to make the stock markets
accessible to every individual. It has also led to positive
developments in terms of reduced costs and fewer errors but as some
experience has indicated, it cannot be applied as a panacea for all
problems. Regulation and knowledge dissemination are still
important; the use of technology should be preceded by a detailed
study and assessment of all other alternatives.

Limitations during the project:


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 shares primarily in ipo’s

No proper assurance of right information
