INTRODUCTION
The financial system or the financial sector of any country consists of:-
(a) specialized & non specialized financial institution
(b) organized &unorganized financial markets and
(c) Financial instruments & services which facilitate transfer of funds.
Procedure & practices adopted in the markets, and financial inter

relationships are also the parts of the system. These parts are not always
mutually exclusive. For example, the financial institution operate in
financial market and are, therefore a part of such market. The word system
in the term financial system implies a set of complex and closely connected
or inters mixed institution, agents practices, markets, transactions, claims, &
liabilities in the economy. The financial system is concerned about money,
credit, & finance – the terms intimately related yet some what different from
each other. Money refers to the current medium of exchange or means of
payment. Credit or Loan is a sum of money to be returned normally with
Interest it refers to a debt of economic unit. Finance is a monetary resources
comprising debt & ownership fund of the state, company or person.
FEATURES OF FINANCIAL SYSTEM -:
1. It provides an Ideal linkage between depositors savers and

Investors Therefore it encourages savings and investment.
2. Financial system facilitates expansion of financial markets
over a period of time.
3. Financial system should promote deficient allocation of
financial resources of socially desirable and economically
productive purpose.
4. Financial system influence both quality and the pace of
economic development.
ROLE OF FINANCIAL SYSTEM:
The role of the financial system is to promote savings & investments in

the economy. It has a vital role to play in the productive process and in
the mobilization of savings and their distribution among the various
productive activities. Savings are the excess of current expenditure over
income. The domestic savings has been categorized into three sectors,
household, government & private sectors.
The savings from household sector dominates the domestic savings

component. The savings will be in the form of currency, bank deposits,
non bank deposits, life insurance funds, provident funds, pension funds,
shares, debentures, bonds, units & trade debts. All of these currency &
deposits are voluntary transactions & precautionary measures. The
savings in the household sector are mobilized directly in the form of

units, premium, provident fund, and pension fund. These are the
contractual forms of savings. Financial actively deals with the
production, distribution & consumption of goods and services. The
financial system will provide inputs to productive activity. Financial
sector provides inputs in the form of cash credit & assets in financial
for production activities.
The function of a financial system is to establish a bridge between the

savers and investors. It helps in mobilization of savings to materialize
investment ideas into realities. It helps to increase the output towards
the existing production frontier. The growth of the banking habit helps
to activate saving and undertake fresh saving. The financial system
encourages investment activity by reducing the cost of finance risk. It
helps to make investment decisions regarding projects by sponsoring,
encouraging, export project appraisal, feasibility studies, monitoring &
execution of the projects.

At the time of independence, India had a reasonably diversified financial

system in terms of intermediaries but a somewhat narrow focus on terms of

intermediation, i.e., a lack of a long term capital market and the relative
neglect of agriculture in particular and rural areas in general.
As India embarked on a process of industrialization and growth, RBI set up

Development Financial Institutions (DFI’s) and State Finance Corporations
(SFC’s) as providers of long term capital. Agriculture’s need for credit was
met by cooperative banks. UTI was set up to canalize resources from retail
investors to the capital market.
In essence, the understanding that requirement of financial needs for

accelerated growth and development was best met by specialized financial
intermediaries who performed specialized functions influenced financial
market architecture.
To ensure that these specializations were adhered to, financial intermediaries

developed and promoted by the Reserve Bank of India had significant
restrictions on both the asset and liabilities side of their balance sheets.
In the 1950s and 1960s, despite an expansion of the commercial banking

system in terms of both reach and mobilization of resources, agriculture still
remained under funded and rural areas under banked. Whereas industry’s
share in credit disbursed almost doubled between 1951 and 1968, from 34 to
67.5%, agriculture got barely 2% of available. Credit to exports and small
scale industries were relatively neglected as well.
In view of the above, it was decided to nationalize the banking sector so that
credit allocation could take place in accordance in plan priorities.
Nationalization took place in two phases, with a first round in 1969 followed
by another in 1980.
By the mid-seventies it was felt that commercialized banks did not have
sufficient expertise in rural banking and hence in 1975 Regional Rural
Banks (RRBs) were set up to help bring rural India into the ambit of the
financial network. This effort was capped in 1980 with the formation of
National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), which
was to function as an apex bank for all cooperative banks in the country,
helping control and guide their activities. NABARD was also given the
remit of regulating rural credit cooperatives.
Following with the logic of specialization, the 1980s saw other DFIs with
specific remits being set up – e.g. The EXIM Bank for export financing, the
Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) for small scale

industries and the National Housing Bank (NHB) for housing finance.
Long term finance for the private sector came from DFIs and institutional
investors or through the capital market. However both price and quantity of
capital issues was regulated by the Controller of Capital Issues.
Therefore the deepening of financial intermediation had occurred with an
increase in the draft by both the commercial sector and the government on
financial resources mobilized.
At the end of the 1980s then the Indian financial system was characterized
by segmented financial markets with significant restrictions on both the
asset and liability side of the balance sheet of financial intermediaries as
well as the price at which financial products could be offered.
In the Indian context segmentation meant that competition was muted. In a

scenario where price was determined from outside the system and targets
were set in terms of quantities, there was no pressure for non-price
competition as well. As a result the financial system had relatively high
transaction costs and political economy factors meant that asset quality was
not a prime concern. Therefore even though the Indian financial system at
the end of 1980s had achieved substantial expansion in terms of access, this
had come at the cost of asset quality. In addition, was the fact that the draft
of the government on resources of the financial system had increased
significantly. This in itself need necessarily was not a problem but over this
period, i.e., the 1980s, the composition of government expenditure was
changing as well, with shift towards current rather than capital expenditure.
In addition, in the absence of a reasonably liquid market for government
securities, an increase in net bank lending to the government meant that the
asset side of banks’ balance sheets tended to become increasingly illiquid.
The impetus for change came from one expected and one unexpected
quarter - first, the importance of prudential capital adequacy ratios was
underlined by the announcement of BaselI norms (see Error: Reference
source not found Error: Reference source not found) That banks were
expected to adhere to; second the macroeconomic crisis of 1990-91.
The reform process that followed accelerated the process of liberalization

already begun in the 1980s and began a series of measured and deliberate
steps to integrate India into the global economy, including the global
financial network.
Briefly however, given the problems facing the financial system and
keeping in mind the institutional changes necessary to help India financially
integrate into the global economy, financial reform focused on the
following: improving the asset quality on bank balance sheets in particular
and operational efficiency in general; increasing competition by removing
regulatory barriers to entry; increasing product competition by removing
restrictions on asset and liability sides of financial intermediaries; allowing
financial intermediaries freedom to set their prices; putting in place a market
for government securities; and improving the functioning of the call money
market.
The government security market was particularly important not only

because it was decided the RBI would no longer monetize the fiscal deficit,
which would now be financed by directly borrowing from the market, but
also monetary policy would be conducted through open market operations
and a large liquid bond market would help the RBI sterilise, if necessary,
foreign exchange movements.
INDIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM FROM 1950 TO

1980 –
Indian Financial System During this period evolved in response to the

objective of planned economic development. With the adoption of mixed
economy as a pattern of industrial development, a complimentary role was
conceived for public and private sector. There was a need to align financial
system with government economic policies. At that time there was
government control over distribution of credit and finance. The main
elements of financial organization in planned economic development are as
follows:-
1. Public ownership of financial institutions –

The nationalization of RBI was in 1948, SBI was set up in 1956, LIC came
in to existence in 1956 by merging 245 life insurance companies in 1969, 14
major private banks were brought under the direct control of Government of
India. In 1972, GIC was set up and in 1980; six more commercial banks
were brought under public ownership. Some institutions were also set up
during this period like development banks, term lending institutions, UTI
was set up in public sector in 1964, provident fund, pension fund was set up.
In this way public sector occupied commanding position in Indian Financial
System.
2. Fortification Of Institutional structure –

Financial institutions should stimulate / encourage capital formation in the
economy. The important feature of well developed financial system is
strengthening of institutional structures. Development banks was set up with
this objective like industrial finance corporation of India (IFCI) was set up
in 1948, state financial corporation (SFCs) were set up in 1951, Industrial
credit and Investment corporation of India Ltd (ICICI)was set up in 1955. It
was pioneer in many respects like underwriting of issue of capital,
channelisation of foreign currency loans from World Bank to private
industry. In 1964, Industrial Development of India (IDBI).
3. Protection of Investors –
Lot many acts were passed during this period for protection of investors in
financial markets. The various acts Companies Act, 1956 ; Capital Issues
Control Act, 1947 ; Securities Contract Regulation Act, 1956 ; Monopolies
and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1970 ; Foreign Exchange Regulation

Act, 1973 ; Securities & Exchange Board of India, 1988.
4. Participation in Corporate Management –

As participation were made by large companies and financial instruments it
leads to accumulation of voting power in hands of institutional investors in
several big companies financial instruments particularly LIC and UTI were
able to put considerable pressure on management by virtual of their voting
power. The Indian Financial System between 1951 and mid80’s was broad
based number of institutions came up. The system was characterized by
diversifying organizations which used to perform number of functions. The
Financial structure with considerable strength and capability of supplying
industrial capital to various enterprises was gradually built up the whole
financial system came under the ownership and control of public authorities
in this manner public sector occupy a commanding position in the industrial
enterprises. Such control was viewed as integral part of the strategy of
planned economy development.
INDIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM POST 1990’S
The organizations of Indian Financial system witnessed transformation after

launching of new economic policy 1991. The development process shifted
from controlled economy to free market for these changes were made in the
economic policy. The role of government in business was reduced the
measure trust of the government should be on development of infrastructure,
public welfare and equity. The capital market an important role in allocation
of resources. The major development during this phase are:-
1. Privatisation of Financial Institutions –

At this time many institutions were converted in to public company and
number of private players were allowed to enter in to various sectors:
a) Industrial Finance Corporation on India (IFCI): The pioneer

development finance institution was converted in to a public
company.
b) Industrial Development Bank of India & Industrial Finance
Corporation of India (IDBI & IFCI): IDBI & IFCI ltd offers their
equity capital to private investors.
c) Private Mutual Funds have been set up under the guidelines
prescribed by SEBI.
d) Number of private banks and foreign banks came up under the RBI
guidelines. Private institution companies emerged and work under the
guidelines of IRDA, 1999.
e) In this manner government monopoly over financial institutions has
been dismantled in phased manner. IT was done by converting public
financial institutions in joint stock companies and permitting to sell
equity capital to the government.
2. Reorganization of Institutional Structure –

The importance of development financial institutions decline with shift to
capital market for raising finance commercial banks were give more funds
to investment in capital market for this. SLR and CRR were produced; SLR
earlier @ 38.5% was reduced to 25% and CRR which used to be 25% is at
present 5%. Permission was also given to banks to directly undertake
leasing, hire-purchase and factoring business. There was trust on
development of primary market, secondary market and money market.
3. Investors Protection –
SEBI is given power to regulate financial markets and the various
intermediaries in the financial markets.
FINANCIAL MARKET
 Money Market
 Call Money Market
 Commercial Paper
 Certificate of Deposit
 Treasury Bill Market
 Money Market Mutual Fund
 Capital Market
 International Capital Market

MONEY MARKET AND GOVT. SECURITIES MARKET
Money market deal with short term monetary assets and claims, which are
generally from one day to one year duration.
Govt. securities on the other hand are also called dated securities to denote
that they are generally long term in nature and are issued by state and central
govt. under their borrowing programmes and duration of more than one
year, generally of 5 years and above.
These securities being long term in nature are also traded in govt. securities
market between institution and banks also on the stock exchanges- debt
segments.
MONEY MARKET
One of the important function of a well developed money market is to
channelize saving into short term productive investments like working
capital. Call money market, treasury bills market and markets for
commercial paper and certificate of deposit are some of the example of
money market.
CALL MONEY MARKET

The call money markets form a part of the national money market, where
day –today surplus funds, mostly of banks are traded . The call money
loans are very short term in nature and the maturity period of this vary from
1 to 15 days. The money which is lent for one day in this market is known as
“call money”, and if it exceeds one day (but less than 15 days), is referred as
“notice money” in this market any amount could be lent or borrowed at a
convenient interest rate . Which is acceptable to both borrower and lender
.these loans are consider as highly liquid as they are repayable on demand
at the option of ether the lender or borrower.
PURPOSE
Call money is borrowed from the market to meet various requirements of

commercial bill market and commercial banks. Commercial bill market
borrower call money for short period to discount commercial bills.
Banks borrower in call market to:
1:- Fill the temporary gaps, or mismatches that banks normally face.
2:- Meet the cash Reserve Ratio requirement.
3: - Meet sudden demand for fund, which may arise due to large payment
and remittance.
Banks usually borrow form the market to avoid the penal interest rate for not
meeting CRR requirement and high cost of refinance from RBI. Call money
helps the banks to maintain short term liquidity position at comfortable
level.
LOCATION
In India call money markets are mainly located in commercial centers and
big industrial centers and industrial center such as Mumbai, Calcutta,
Chennai, Delhi and Ahmedabad. As BSE and NSE and head office of RBI
and many other banks are situated in Mumbai; the volume of funds involved
in call money market in Mumbai is far bigger than other cities.
PARTICIPANTS
Initially, only few large banks were operating in the bank market. however
the market had expanded and now scheduled , non scheduled commercial
banks foreign banks ,state , district, and urban cooperative banks , financial
institution such as LIC,UTI,GIC, and its subsidiaries , IDBI, NABARD,
IRBI, ECGC, EXIM Bank, IFCI, NHB , TFCI, and SIDBI, Mutual fund
such as SBI Mutual fund . LIC Mutual funds. And RBI Intermediaries like
DFHI and STCI are participants in local call money markets. However RBI
has recently introduced restriction on some of the participants to phase them
out of call money market in a time bound manner.
Participant in call money market are split into two categories
1:- BORROWER AND LENDER:-

This comprises entities those who can both borrower and lend in this
market, such as RBI, intermediaries like DFHI, and STCI and commercial
banks.
2:- ONLY LENDER: -

This category comprises of entities those who can act only as lender, like
financial institution and mutual funds.
CALL RATES
The interest paid on call loan is known as the call rates. Unlike in the case of
other short and long rates. The call rate is expected to freely reflect the day
to day availability and long rates. These rates vary highly from day to day.
Often from hour to hour. While high rates indicate a tightness of liquidity
position in market. The rate is largely subject to be influenced by sources of
supply and demand for funds.
The call money rate had fluctuated from time to time reflecting the seasonal
variation in fund requirements. Call rates climbs high during busy seasons in
relation to those in slack season. These seasonal variations were high due to
a limited number of lender and many borrowers. The entry of financial
institution and money market mutual funds into the call market has reduced
the demand supply gap and these fluctuations gradually came down in
recent years.
Though the seasonal fluctuations were reduced to considerable extent, there

are still variations in the call rates due to the following reason:
1:- large borrower by banks to meet the CRR requirements on certain dates
cause a gate demand for call money. These rates usually go up during the
first week to meet CRR requirements and decline afterwards.
2:- the sanction of loans by banks, in excess of their own resources compel
the bank to rely on the call market. Banks use the call market as a source of
funds for meeting dis-equilibrium of inflow and out flow of fund s.
3:- the withdrawal of funds to pay advance tax by the corporate sector leads
to steep increase in call money rates in the market.
COMMERCIAL PAPER
Commercial paper are short term, unsecured promissory notes issued at a

discount to face value by well- known companies that are financial strong
and carry a high credit rating . They are sold directly by the issuers to
investor, or else placed by borrowers through agents like merchant banks
and security houses the flexible maturity at which they can be issued are one
of the main attraction for borrower and investor since issues can be adapted
to the needs of both. The CP market has the advantage of giving highly rated
corporate borrowers cheaper fund than they could obtain from the banks
while still providing institutional investors with higher interest earning than
they could obtain form the banking system the issue of CP imparts a degree
of financial stability to the systems as the issuing company has an incentive
to remain financially strong.
THE FEATURES OF CP
1. They are negotiable by endorsement and delivery.
2. They are issued in multiple of Rs 5 lakhs.

3. The maturity varies between 15 days to a year.
4. No prior approval of RBI is needed for CP issued.
5. The tangible net worth issuing company should not be less than 4
lakhs
6. The company fund based working capital limit should not less than Rs
10 crore.
7. The issuing company shall have P2 and A2 rating from CRISIL and
ICRA.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT
Certificate of Deposits,. Instruments such as the Certificates of Deposit

(CDs introduced in 1989), Commercial Paper (CP introduced in 1989),
inter-bank participation certificates (with and without risk) were
introduced to increase the range of instruments. Certificates of Deposit
are basically negotiable money market instruments issued by banks and
financial institutions during tight liquidity conditions. Smaller banks
with relatively smaller branch networks generally mobilise CDs. As CDs
are large size deposits, transaction costs on CDs are lower than retail
deposits
FEATURES OF CD
1. All scheduled bank other than RRB and scheduled cooperative
bank are eligible to issue CDs.
2. CDs can be issued to individuals, corporation, companies, trust,
funds and associations. NRI can subscribe to CDs but only on a
non- repatriation basis.
3. They are issued at a discount rate freely determined by the
issuing bank and market.
4. They issued in the multiple of Rs 5 lakh subject to minimum
size of each issue of Rs is 10 lakh.
5. The bank can issue CDs ranging from 3 month t 1 year ,

whereas financial institution can issue CDs ranging from 1 year
to 3 years.
TREASURY BILLS MARKET:-
Treasury bills are the main financial instruments of money market. These
bills are issued by the government. The borrowings of the government are
monitored & controlled by the central bank. The bills are issued by the RBI
on behalf of the central government. The RBI is the agent of Union
Government. They are issued by tender or tap. The bills were sold to the
public by tender method up to 1965. These bills were put at weekly
auctions. A treasury bill is a particular kind of finance bill. It is a promissory
note issued by the government. Until 1950 these bills were also issued by
the state government. After 1950 onwards the central government has the
authority to issue such bills. These bills are greater liquidity than any other
kind of bills. They are of two kinds: a) ad hoc, b) regular.
Ad hoc treasury bills are issued to the state governments, semi government
departments & foreign ventral banks. They are not marketable. The ad hoc
bills are not sold to the banks & public. The regular treasury bills are sold to
the general public & banks. They are freely marketable. These bills are sold
by the RBI on behalf of the central government.
The treasury bills can be categorized as follows:-
1) 14 days treasury bills:-

The 14 day treasury bills has been introduced from 1996-97. These
bills are non-transferable. They are issued only in book entry system
they would be redeemed at par. Generally the participants in this
market are state government, specific bodies & foreign central banks.
The discount rate on this bill will be decided at the beginning of the
year quarter.
These bills were introduced in 1998. The treasury bills in India issued
on auction basis. The date of issue of these bills will be announced in
advance to the market. The information regarding the notified amount
is announced before each auction. The notified amount in respect of
treasury bills auction is announced in advance for the whole year
separately. A uniform calendar of treasury bills issuance is also
announced.
The 91 days treasury bills were issued from July 1965. These were
issued tap basis at a discount rate. The discount rates vary between
2.5 to 4.6% P.a. from July 1974 the discount rate of 4.6% remained
uncharged the return on these bills were very low. However the RBI
provides rediscounting facility freely for this bill.
The 182 days treasury bills was introduced in November 1986. The
chakravarthy committee made recommendations regarding 182 day
treasury bills instruments. There was a significant development in this

market. These bills were sold through monthly auctions. These bills
were issued without any specified amount. These bills are tailored to
meet the requirements of the holders of short term liquid funds. These
bills were issued at a discount. These instruments were eligible as
securities for SLR purposes. These bills have rediscounting facilities.
The 364 treasury bills were introduced by the government in April

1992. These instruments are issued to stabilise the money market.
These bills were sold on the basis of auction. The auctions for these
instruments will be conducted for every fortnight. There will be no
indication when they are putting auction. Therefore the RBI does not
provide rediscounting facility to these bills. These instruments have
been instrumental in reducing, the net RBI credit to the government.
These bills have become very popular in India.
Money Market Mutual Funds (MMMFs)

The benefits of developments in the various in the money market like
cell money loans. Treasury bills, commercial papers and certificate of
deposits were available only to the few institutional participants in the
market. The main reason for this was that huge amounts were
required to be invested in these instruments, the minimum being Rs.
10 lack, which was beyond the means of individual money markets to
small investors.
MMMFs are mutual funds that invest primarily in money market

instruments of very high quality and of very short maturities.
MMMFs can be set up by very high quality and of very short
maturities. MMMFs can be set up by commercial bank, RBI and
public financial institution either directly or through their existing
mutual fund subsidiaries. The guidelines with respect to mobilization
of funds by MMMFs provide that only individuals are allowed to
invest in such funds.
Earlier these funds were regulated by the RBI. But RBI withdrew its
guidelines, with effect form March 7, 2001 and now they are
governed by SEBI.
The schemes offered by MMMfs can either by open – ended or close-

ended. In case of open- ended schemer, the units are available for
purchase on a continuous basis and the MMMFs would be willing to
repurchase the units. A close –ended scheme is available for
subscription for a limited period and is redeemed at maturity.
The guidelines on the on MMMfs specify a minimum lock – in period

of 15 days during which the investor cannot redeem his investment.
The guidelines also stipulate the minimum size of the MMMF to be
Rs. 50 crore and this should not exceed 2% of the aggregate deposits
of the latest accounting year in the case of banks and 2% of the long-
term domestic borrowings in the case of public financial institutions.

CAPITAL MARKET
Capital market is market for long term securities. It contains financial

instruments of maturity period exceeding one year. It involves in long
term nature of transactions. It is a growing element of the financial
system in the India economy. It differs from the money market in terms
of maturity period & liquidity. It is the financial pillar of industrialized
economy. The development of a nation depends upon the functions &
capabilities of the capital market.
Capital market is the market for long term sources of finance. It refers to
meet the long term requirements of the industry. Generally the business
concerns need two kinds of finance:-
1. Short term funds for working capital requirements.
2. Long term funds for purchasing fixed assets.
Therefore the requirements of working capital of the industry are met by the
money market. The long term requirements of the funds to the corporate
sector are supplied by the capital market. It refers to the institutional
arrangements which facilitate the lending & borrowing of long term funds.
IMPORTANCE OF CAPITAL MARKET

Capital market deals with long term funds. These funds are subject to
uncertainty & risk. Its supplies long term funds & medium term funds to the
corporate sector. It provides the mechanism for facilitating capital fund
transactions. It deals I ordinary shares, bond debentures & stocks &
securities of the governments. In this market the funds flow will come from
savers. It converts financial assets in to productive physical assets. It
provides incentives to savers in the form of interest or dividend to the
investors. It leads to the capital formation. The following factors play an
important role in the growth of the capital market:-
• A strong & powerful central government.
• Financial dynamics
• Speedy industrialization
• Attracting foreign investment
• Investments from NRI’s
• Speedy implementation of policies
• Regulatory changes
• Globalization
• The level of savings & investments pattern of the household sectors
• Development of financial theories
• Sophisticated technological advances.
PLAYERS IN THE CAPITAL MARKET

Capital market is a market for long term funds. It requires a well structured
market to enhance the financial capability of the country. The market consist
a number of players. They are categorized as:-
1. Companies
2. Financial intermediaries
3. Investors.
I. COMPANIES:
Generally every company which is a public limited company can access
the capital market. The companies which are in need of finance for
their project can approach the market. The capital market provides
funds from the savers of the community. The companies can mobilize
the resources for their long term needs such as project cost, expansion
& diversification of projects & other expenditure of India to raise the
capital from the market. The SEBI is the most powerful organization to
monitor, control & guidance the capital market. It classifies the
companies for the issue of share capital as new companies, existing
unlisted companies& existing listed companies. According to its
guidelines a company is a new company if it satisfies all the following:-
a) The company shall not complete 12 months of commercial
operations.
b) Its audited operative results are not available.
c) The company may set up by entrepreneurs with or without
track record.
A company which can be treated as existing listed company, if its
shares are listed in any recognized stock exchange in India. A company
is said to be an existing unlisted company if it is a closely held or
private company.
II. FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES:

Financial intermediaries are those who assist in the process of

converting savings into capital formation in the country. A strong
capital formation process is the oxygen to the corporate sector.
Therefore the intermediaries occupy a dominant role in the capital
formation which ultimately leads to the growth of prosperous to the
community. Their role in this situation cannot be. The government
should encourage these intermediaries to build a strong financial
empire for the country. They are also being called as financial
architectures of the India digital economy. Their financial capability
cannot be measured. They take active role in the capital market. The
major intermediaries in the capital market are:-
a) Brokers.
b) Stock brokers & sub brokers
c) Merchant bankers
d) Underwriters
e) Registrars
f) Mutual funds
g) Collecting agents
h) Depositories
i) Agents
j) Advertising agencies
III. INVESTORS:
The capital market consists many numbers of investors. All types
of investor’s basic objective is to get good returns on their
investment. Investment means, just parking one’s idle fund in a
right parking place for a stipulated period of time. Every parked

vehicle shall be taken away by its owners from parking place after
a specific period. The same process may be applicable to the
investment. Every fund owner may desire to take away the fund
after a specific period. Therefore safety is the most important
factor while considering the investment proposal. The investors
comprise the financial investment companies & the general public
companies. Usually the individual savers are also treated as
investors. Return is the reward to the investors. Risk is the
punishment to the investors for being wrong selection of their
investment decision. Return is always chased by the risk. An
intelligent investor must always try to escape the risk & attract the
return. All rational investors prefer return, but most investors are
risk average. They attempt to get maximum capital gain. The
return can be available to the investors in two types they are in the
form of revenue or capital appreciation. Some investors will prefer
for revenue receipt & others prefer capital appreciation. It depends
upon their economic status & the effect of tax implications.
STRUCTURE OF THE CAPITAL MARKET IN INDIA

The structure of the capital market has undergone vast changes in recent
years. The Indian capital market has transformed into a new appearance over

financial institutions & financial instruments. The market for already issued

of the investors. The specialized financial institutions were involved in

financial institutions such as ICICI, IDBI, UTI, and LIC & GIC constitute
the largest segment. A number of new financial instruments & financial
intermediaries have emerged in the capital market. Usually the capital
markets are classified in two ways:-
A. On the basis of issuer
B. On the basis of instruments

shares of existing & new companies. Every company shall approach the

200 years. The first India stock exchange established at Mumbai in
1875 is the oldest exchange in Asia. The main objective was to protect
the character status and interest of the native share and stock broker.
BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE

Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest stock exchange in Asia with a rich
heritage, now spanning three centuries in its 133 years of existence. What is
now popularly known as BSE was established as "The Native Share & Stock
Brokers' Association" in 1875.
BSE is the first stock exchange in the country which obtained permanent
recognition (in 1956) from the Government of India under the Securities
Contracts (Regulation) Act 1956. BSE's pivotal and pre-eminent role in the
development of the Indian capital market is widely recognized. It migrated
from the open outcry system to an online screen-based order driven trading
system in 1995. Earlier an Association of Persons (AOP), BSE is now a
corporatised and demutualised entity incorporated under the provisions of
the Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to the BSE (Corporatisation and
Demutualisation) Scheme, 2005 notified by the Securities and Exchange
Board of India (SEBI). With demutualisation, BSE has two of world's best
exchanges, Deutsche Börse and Singapore Exchange, as its strategic
partners.
Over the past 133 years, BSE has facilitated the growth of the Indian
corporate sector by providing it with an efficient access to resources. There

is perhaps no major corporate in India which has not sourced BSE's services
in raising resources from the capital market.
Today, BSE is the world's number 1 exchange in terms of the number of

listed companies and the world's 5th in transaction numbers. The market
capitalization as on December 31, 2007 stood at USD 1.79 trillion . An
investor can choose from more than 4,700 listed companies, which for easy
reference, are classified into A, B, S, T and Z groups.
The BSE Index, SENSEX, is India's first stock market index that enjoys an
iconic stature , and is tracked worldwide. It is an index of 30 stocks
representing 12 major sectors. The SENSEX is constructed on a 'free-float'
methodology, and is sensitive to market sentiments and market realities.
Apart from the SENSEX, BSE offers 21 indices, including 12 sectoral
indices. BSE has entered into an index cooperation agreement with
Deutsche Börse. This agreement has made SENSEX and other BSE indices
available to investors in Europe and America. Moreover, Barclays Global
Investors (BGI), the global leader in ETFs through its iShares® brand, has
created the 'iShares® BSE SENSEX India Tracker' which tracks the
SENSEX. The ETF enables investors in Hong Kong to take an exposure to
the Indian equity market.
BSE has tied up with U.S. Futures Exchange (USFE) for U.S. dollar-
denominated futures trading of SENSEX in the U.S. The tie-up enables
eligible U.S. investors to directly participate in India's equity markets for the
first time, without requiring American Depository Receipt (ADR)
authorization. The first Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) on SENSEX, called
"SPIcE" is listed on BSE. It brings to the investors a trading tool that can be
easily used for the purposes of investment, trading, hedging and arbitrage.
SPIcE allows small investors to take a long-term view of the market.

instruments and derivatives. It has a nation-wide reach with a presence in

second in the world to receive Information Security Management System
Standard BS 7799-2-2002 certification for its BSE On-line Trading System
(BOLT).
BSE continues to innovate. In recent times, it has become the first national
level stock exchange to launch its website in Gujarati and Hindi to reach out
to a larger number of investors. It has successfully launched a reporting
platform for corporate bonds in India christened the ICDM or Indian
Corporate Debt Market and a unique ticker-cum-screen aptly named 'BSE
Broadcast' which enables information dissemination to the common man on
the street.
In 2006, BSE launched the Directors Database and ICERS (Indian

Corporate Electronic Reporting System) to facilitate information flow and
increase transparency in the Indian capital market. While the Directors
Database provides a single-point access to information on the boards of
directors of listed companies, the ICERS facilitates the corporates in sharing
with BSE their corporate announcements.
BSE also has a wide range of services to empower investors and facilitate
smooth transactions:
Investor Services: The Department of Investor Services redresses grievances

of investors. BSE was the first exchange in the country to provide an amount
of Rs.1 million towards the investor protection fund; it is an amount higher

NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE
The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the report of
the High Powered Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges,
which recommended promotion of a National Stock Exchange by financial
institutions (FIs) to provide access to investors from all across the country
on an equal footing. Based on the recommendations, NSE was promoted by
leading Financial Institutions at the behest of the Government of India and
was incorporated in November 1992 as a tax-paying company unlike other
stock exchanges in the country.
On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts

(Regulation) Act, 1956 in April 1993, NSE commenced operations in the
Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment in June 1994. The Capital Market
(Equities) segment commenced operations in November 1994 and
operations in Derivatives segment commenced in June 2000.
NSE's mission is setting the agenda for change in the securities markets in
India. The NSE was set-up with the main objectives of:
• establishing a nation-wide trading facility for equities, debt

instruments and hybrids,
• ensuring equal access to investors all over the country through an

appropriate communication network,
• providing a fair, efficient and transparent securities market to
investors using electronic trading systems,
• enabling shorter settlement cycles and book entry settlements
systems, and
• Meeting the current international standards of securities markets.
The standards set by NSE in terms of market practices and technology have
become industry benchmarks and are being emulated by other market
participants. NSE is more than a mere market facilitator. It's that force
which is guiding the industry towards new horizons and greater
opportunities.
The logo of the NSE symbolises a single nationwide securities trading

facility ensuring equal and fair access to investors, trading members and
issuers all over the country. The initials of the Exchange viz., N, S and E
have been etched on the logo and are distinctly visible. The logo symbolises
use of state of the art information technology and satellite connectivity to
bring about the change within the securities industry. The logo symbolises
vibrancy and unleashing of creative energy to constantly bring about change

through innovation.
CORPORATE STRUCTURE
NSE is one of the first de-mutualised stock exchanges in the country, where
the ownership and management of the Exchange is completely divorced
from the right to trade on it. Though the impetus for its establishment came
from policy makers in the country, it has been set up as a public limited
company, owned by the leading institutional investors in the country.
From day one, NSE has adopted the form of a demutualised exchange - the
ownership, management and trading is in the hands of three different sets of
people. NSE is owned by a set of leading financial institutions, banks,
insurance companies and other financial intermediaries and is managed by
professionals, who do not directly or indirectly trade on the Exchange. This
has completely eliminated any conflict of interest and helped NSE in
aggressively pursuing policies and practices within a public interest
framework.
The NSE model however, does not preclude, but in fact accommodates
involvement, support and contribution of trading members in a variety of
ways. Its Board comprises of senior executives from promoter institutions,
eminent professionals in the fields of law, economics, accountancy, finance,
taxation, and etc, public representatives, nominees of SEBI and one full time
executive of the Exchange.
While the Board deals with broad policy issues, decisions relating to market
operations are delegated by the Board to various committees constituted by
it. Such committees includes representatives from trading members,
professionals, the public and the management. The day-to-day management
of the Exchange is delegated to the Managing Director who is supported by
a team of professional staff.

BANK
THE RESERVE BANK OF INDIA
The Reserve Bank of India is the central bank of the country entrusted with
monetary stability, the management of currency and the supervision of the
financial as well as the payments system.
Established in 1935, its functions and focus have evolved in response to the
changing economic environment. Its history is not only intrinsically
interwoven with the economic and financial history of the country, but also
gives insights into the thought processes that have helped shape the
country's economic policies.
The Reserve Bank of India is the central bank of the country. Central banks
are a relatively recent innovation and most central banks, as we know them
today, were established around the early twentieth century.
The Reserve Bank of India was set up on the basis of the recommendations
of the Hilton Young Commission. The Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 (II
of 1934) provides the statutory basis of the functioning of the Bank, which
commenced operations on April 1, 1935.
The RBI has 22 regional offices, most of them in state capitals like Bhopal,
Hyderabad, Jaipur, Nagpur, Kolkata etc.
HISTORY OF THE RBI
The Bank began its operations by taking over from the Government the
functions so far being performed by the Controller of Currency and from the
Imperial Bank of India, the management of Government accounts and public
debt. The existing currency offices at Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Rangoon,
Karachi, Lahore and Cawnpore (Kanpur) became branches of the Issue
Department. Offices of the Banking Department were established in
Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Delhi and Rangoon.
Burma (Myanmar) seceded from the Indian Union in 1937 but the Reserve
Bank continued to act as the Central Bank for Burma till Japanese
Occupation of Burma and later up to April, 1947. After the partition of
India, the Reserve Bank served as the central bank of Pakistan up to June
1948 when the State Bank of Pakistan commenced operations. The Bank,
which was originally set up as a shareholder's bank, was nationalized in
1949.
The RBI was established by legislation in 1934, through the RBI Act of
1934. The RBI started functioning from April 1st 1935. This represented the
culmination of a long series of efforts to set up an institution of this kind in
the country. The RBI was originally constituted as a Shareholders’ Bank
with a share capital of Rs.5 Crore. In view of the need of close integration
between its policies and those of the government, it was nationalized in
1949.
With liberalization, the Bank's focus has shifted back to core central banking
functions like Monetary Policy, Bank Supervision and Regulation, and
Overseeing the Payments System and onto developing the financial markets.
The sequences of events leading to the formation of the RBI are summarized
in the figure:
Presidency Bank
Imperial Bank of India
Central Banking Enquiry Committee, 1931
Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934
Constitution of RBI, April 1st 1935

a central bank. A bill was passed in the Central Legislature in January 1927

COMMERCIAL BANK
Commercial banks ordinarily are simple business or commercial concern

which provides various types of financial services to consumers in return for
payments in one form or another such as interest discount, fees, commission,
and so on . their objective is to make profits. However, what distinguish
them from other business concerns ( financial as well as manufacturing ) is
the degree to which they have to balance the principal of profit
maximization with certain other principal . in India especially . banks are
required to modify the performance in profit making if that clashes with
their obligations in such areas as social welfare , social justice , and
promotion of regional balances in development . bank in general have to pay
much more attention to balancing profitability with liquidity.
SCHEDULED BANKS
Scheduled banks are which are included in the second schedule of The
Banking Regulation Act 1949, other are non schedule bank
(a) must have paid up capital and reserve not less than Rs 5 lakh.
(b) it must also satisfy the RBI that its affairs are not conducted in a manner
detrimental t the interests of its depositors. Scheduled banks are required to
maintain a certain amount of reserves with the RBI they in return , enjoy the
facility of financial accommodation and remittance at concessional rates
from the RBI.
REGIONAL RURAL BANKS.

A beginning to set up the RRB was made in later half of 1975 in accordance
with the recommendations of banking commission it was intended that the
RRB would operate exclusively in rural areas and would provide credit and
other facility to small and marginal farmers , agricultural laborer , artisans ,
and small entrepreneurs. They now carry all types of banking business
generally within one to five districts. The RRB can be set up provided by
public sector bank sponsor them . the ownership capital of these banks is
held by the central govt. (50 %) ,concerned state govt. (15 %), and the
sponsor bank (35%) . they are in effect owned by the govt. and there is a
little local participation in ownership and administration of these bank also .
further they have a large number of branches.
CLASSIFICTION OF NBFC:
The various NBFC can be classified as follows:
• Housing Finance Institution (companies)

• Venture Capital Funds

• Factors or Factoring companies
INVESTMENT TRUST OR INVESTMENT COMPANIES
Investment trust are close ended organization, unlike UTI and they have
a fixed amount of authorized capital and a stated amount of issued
capital. Investment trust provides useful service through conserving and
managing property for those who, for some reasons or other cannot
manage their own affairs. Investor of moderate means are provide
facilities for diversification of investment, expert advice on lucrative
investment channels, and supervision of their investment. From the point
of view of the economy, they help to mobilize small savings and direct
tem to fruitful channels. Thy also have a stabilizing effect on stock
market. Unlike in other countries, they render manifold function such as
financing, underwriting, promoting and banking.
Most of these companies are not independent, they are investment

holding companies, formed by the former managing agents, or business
houses. As such, they provide finance mainly to such companies as are
associated with these business houses.
NIDHIS:
Mutual benefit funds or nidhis, as they are called in India, are joint stock
companies operating mainly in south India, particularly in Tamil Nadu.
The source of their funds are share capital, deposits from their members,
and the public. The deposit are fixed and recurring. Unlike other
NBFC’S nidhis also accepts demand deposit to some extent. The loans
given by this institution are mainly for consumption purposes. These
loans are usually secured loans, given against the security of tangible
asset such as house property , gold jewelry, or against share of
companies, LIC policies, and so on. The terms on which loans are given
are quite moderate. The notable points about these institutions are :
a) They offer saving schemes which are linked with the

assurance to make credit available when required by saver’s
b) They make the credit available to those to whom the
commercial banks may hesitate to give credit or whom
commercial banks have not been able to reach,
c) They possess characteristics such as their local character,
easy approachability, and the absence of cumbersome

procedures, which make them suitable for small areas and,
d) Interest rates on their deposit and the loans are comparable to
those of commercial banks, and they work on the sound

principal of the banking. Their operations are similar to those
of unit banks. They are incorporate bodies and are governed
by the directives of the RBI.
MERCHANT BANKS:
It would help in understanding the nature of merchant banking if we

compare it with commercial banking. The MBs offer mainly financial
advice and service for a fee, while commercial banks accepts deposit and
lend money. When MBs do functions essentially as wholesale bankers rather
than retail bankers. It means that they deals with selective large industrial
clients and not with the general public in their fund based activities. The
merchant banks are different from security dealers, trades and brokers also.
They deal mainly in new issues, while the latter deal mainly in existing
securities.
The range of activities undertaken by merchant banks can be understood

from recent advertisement of one of the merchant bankers in India which
mentioned the following service offered by it:
1) Management, marketing and underwriting of new issues,

2) Project promotion services and project finance,
3) Syndication of credit and other facilities,
4) Leasing, including project leasing,
5) Corporate advisory services,
6) Investment advisory services,
7) Bought-out deals,
8) Venture capital,
9) Mutual fund and offshore funds,
10) Investment management including dictionary
management,
11) Investment service for non- resident Indians,
12) Management of and dealing in commercial papers,
In India the merchant banking service are provided by the commercial banks,
All Indian Financial Institutions, private consultancy firms & technical
consultation organizations.
In March 1991, SEBI granted permission to VMC project technologies to act

as the merchant banker and to undertake public issue management, portfolio
management, lead management, and so on. It may be noted that in India, the
permission of the SEBI is required to do merchant banking business.
HIRE PURCHASE FINANCE COMPANIES
Hire purchase involves a system under which term loan for purchases of
goods and services are advanced to be liquidated in stages through a
contractual obligation. The goods whose purchases are thus financed may be a
consumer goods or producer goods or may be simply services such as air
travel.
Hire-purchase credit may be provided by the seller himself or by any financial

institution.
Hire-purchase credit is available in India for a wide range of services. Product

like automobile, sewing machines, radios, refrigerators, TV sets, bicycles,
machinery and equipment, other capital goods, industrial shades, services like
educational fees, medical fees, and so on are now financed with help of such
credit. However unlike in other countries the emphasis in India is on the
provision of installment credit for productive goods & services rather than for
purely consumer goods.
Other suppliers of hire-purchase finance are retail and wholesale traders,

commercial banks, IDBI, ICICI,NSIC,NSIDC, SFCS,SIDCS, Argo-industries
corporations (AICs), and so on.
In the recent past, banks also have increased their business in his field of
installment credit and loans.
IDBI indirectly participate in financing hire purchase business by way of

rediscounting usance bills/promissory notes arising out of indigenous
machinery on deferred payment basis.
LEASE FINANCE COMPANIE:
A lease is a form of financing employed to acquire the use of asset, through

which firm can acquire the use of asset for a stated period without owing
them. Every lease involves two parties : user of asset is known as lessee, and
the owner of the asset is known as the lessor. While these companies may
undertake other activities like consumer credit, car finance, etc. their
predominant activity is leasing.
Lease financing organizations in India include many private sector

manufacturing companies, infrastructure leasing and financial service
limited.(IL&FS), ICICI, IRCI, capital market subsidiaries of leading
nationalized banks, IFC,LIC, GIC, Housing Development Finance
Corporation (HDFC), certain SIDCs and SIICs, and other organizations. The
lessee companies include many leading corporation in both public and private
sectors, and small manufacturing companies.
HOUSING FINANCE COMPANIES:
Housing finance is provide in the form of mortgage loan i.e. it is provided

against the security of immovable property of land and buildings. basically
housing finance loan are given by Hosing and Urban Development
Corporation, the apex Co-operative Housing Financing Societies and housing
brand in different states, central and state government, LIC, Commercial
banks, GIC, and a few private housing companies and nidhis.the government
provide direct loan mainly to their employees. The participation of
commercial and urban co-operative banks in direct in mortgage loans has
been marginal till recently. LIC has been a major supplier of mortgage loan in
indirect and direct forms. It has been giving loans to the state government,
apex cooperative housing societies, HUDCO and so on. In addition it has
been providing mortgage loan directly to individuals under its various
mortgage schemes.
NATIONAL HOUSING BANK:
It was set up in July, 1988 as an apex level housing finance institution as

wholly owned subsidiary of the RBI. It began its operation with the total
capital of Rs.170 crore (Rs 100 crore as share capital, Rs 50 crore as long
term loan from RBI and Rs 20 crore through sale of bounds). In September,
1989 it share capital was raised to Rs150 crore. During 1989-90, it issued its
second series of bonds whose total subscription amounted to Rs60 crore.
These bonds are guaranteed by the central government, and carry an interest
rate of 11.5% per annum. The RBI sanctioned it a long-term loan of Rs25
crore in 1989-90. Further, it can borrow in the USA capital market US$50
million under the USAID government guarantee program. Thus the resources
base of NHB has been made quite strong. The explicit and the primary aim of
NHB is to promote housing finance institution at local and regional levels in
the private & joint sector by providing financial and other support.
VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDING COMPANIES:
The term “venture capital” suggest taking risk in supplying capital. However
supply of risk capital may not be a prime function in certain cases the
emphasis may be on supporting technocrats in setting up projects or on
portfolio management. The term venture capital fund is usually used to denote
mutual fund or institutional investors that provide equity finance or risk little
known, unregistered highly risky, small private businesses, especially in
technology-oriented and knowledge intensive business or industries which
have long development cycles and which usually do not have access to
conventional source of capital because of the absence of suitable collateral
and the presence of high risk. VCFs play an important role in supplying
management and marketing expertise to such units.
