equity inflows in India in 2019-20 (till September 19) stood at US$ 20.92 billion,
indicating that the government's effort to improve ease of doing business and relaxation
in FDI norms is yielding results.
The net foreign direct investment stood at US$ 1.70 billion in September 2019 and US$
1.6 billion in August 2019.

taken many initiatives in recent years such as relaxing FDI norms across sectors such
as defence, PSU oil refineries, telecom, power exchanges, and stock exchanges,
among others.

Equity spot markets follow a T+2 rolling settlement. This means that any trade taking
place on Monday gets settled by Wednesday. Delivery of shares must be made in
dematerialized form, and each exchange has its own clearing house, which assumes all
settlement risk by serving as a central counterparty.

Rules and regulations

The overall responsibility of development, regulation, and supervision of the stock

market rests with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which was formed
in 1992 as an independent authority. Since then, SEBI has consistently tried to lay down
market rules in line with the best market practices. It enjoys vast powers of imposing
penalties on market participants, in case of a breach.
