THEORETICAL FRAME WORK

CAPITAL MARKETS
The capital market is the market for securities, where companies and governments can raise long-term funds. The capital market includes the stock market and the bond market. The capital markets consist of the primary market, where new issues are distributed to investors, and the secondary market, where existing securities are traded.

CAPITAL MARKET

PRIMARY MARKET

SECONDARY MARKET

PRIMARY MARKET
The primary market provides a channel for sale of new securities. This market provides opportunity to issuers of securities, the government as well as corporate, to raise resources to meet their requirements of investments and/or discharge their obligations.They may issue securities at face value, discount, or
9

premium. They may also issue the securities in the domestic market and/or the international market.

Different kinds of issues:

1. Initial Public Offering [IPO] -

An IPO is an abbreviation for Initial Public Offer. When a company goes public for the first time or issues a fresh stock of shares, it offers it to the public directly. This happens in the primary market. The primary market is where a company makes its first contact with the public at large.

10

2. Further Issue - A follow on public offering is known as further issue. This

is offered through an offer document when an already listed organization makes either a fresh issue of securities to the public or an offer for sale to the public.
3. Rights Issue - Here, a listed organization proposes to issue fresh securities

to its existing shareholders as on a record date. The rights are offered in a particular ratio to the number of securities held prior to the issue. This route is best suited for organizations who would like to raise capital without diluting the stake of its existing shareholders.
4. Preferential Issue - This is an issue of either shares or convertible

securities by listed organizations to a select group of people under Section 81 of the Companies Act,1956. This issue is neither a Rights issue nor Public issue and is a faster way for any organization to raise capital.
11

SECONDARY MARKET
Once the offer price is fixed and the shares are issued to the people, stock exchanges facilitate the trading of shares for the general public. Once a stock is listed on an exchange, people can start trading in its shares. In a stock exchange the existing shareholders sell their shares to anyone who is willing to buy them at a price agreeable to both the parties. Individuals cannot buy or sell shares in a stock exchange directly they have to execute their transactions through authorized members of the stock exchange who are also called stock brokers. Secondary market is a term used for stock exchanges, where stocks are bought and sold after they are issued to the public.

12

DERIVATIVES:
Derivative is a product whose value is derived from the value of one or more basic variables, called underlying. The underlying asset can be equity, index, foreign exchange (Forex), commodity, or any other asset.

Types of derivatives:
Various types of derivatives relating to shares are:

Forwards - This is a customized contract between two entities, where settlement takes place on a specific date in the future at todays preagreed price.

Futures - It is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain time in the future at a certain price.

Options - An option is a contract which gives the right, but not an obligation, to buy or sell the underlying at a stated date and a stated price.

13

ABOUT SHARE MARKET:

The market or place where securities viz., shares are exchange / traded or simply where buying and selling takes place is called stock exchange or stock market. Let us take an example for a better understanding of how market forces determine stock prices. ABC Co. Ltd. enjoys high investor confidence and there is an anticipation of an upward movement in its stock price. More and more people would want to buy this stock (i.e. high demand) and very few people will want to sell this stock at current market price (i.e. less supply). Therefore, buyers will have to bid a higher price for this stock to match the ask price from the seller which will increase the stock price of ABC Co. Ltd. On the contrary, if there are more sellers than buyers (i.e. high supply and low demand) for the stock of ABC Co. Ltd. in the market. In earlier times, buyers and sellers used to assemble at stock exchanges to make a transaction but now with the dawn of IT, most of the operations are done electronically and the stock markets have become dont almost paperless. Now investors have to gather at the Exchanges, and can trade freely from their home or office, over the phone or through Internet.

HISTORY OF STOCK EXCHANGE IN INDIA THE ORIGIN: In 1860, the exchange flourished with 60 brokers. In fact the 'Share Mania' in India began with the American Civil War broke and the cotton supply from the US to Europe stopped. Further the brokers increased to 250.At the end of the war in 1874, the market found a place in a street (now called Dalal Street). In 1887, "Native Share and Stock Brokers' Association" was established. In 1895, the exchange acquired a premise in the street which was inaugurated in 1899. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is the largest Stock Exchange, in the country, where maximum transactions, in terms of money and shares take place. Stock exchanges are an organized market place either corporation or mutual organization where members of organization gather to trade companies stock or other securities. The members may act either as agent for their customers or as principals for their own account. PRE-INDEPENDANCE SCENARIO 1874 With the rapidly developing share trading business, brokers used to gather at a street (now well known as "Dalal Street") for the purpose of transacting business. 1875 "The Native Share and Stock Brokers' Association" (also known as "The Bombay Stock Exchange") was established in Bombay 1880's 1894 Development of cotton mills industry and set up of many others Establishment of "The Ahmedabad Share and Stock Brokers' Association"

DEMAT ACCOUNT:
27

The term "demat", in India, refers to a dematerialised account for individual Indian citizens to trade in listed stocks or debentures in electronic form rather than paper, as required for investors by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). In a demat account,shares and securities are held electronically instead of the investor taking physical possession of certificates. A demat account is opened by the investor while registering with an investment broker (or sub-broker). The demat account number is quoted for all transactions to enable electronic settlements of trades to take place.Access to the demat account requires an internet password and a transaction password.

DEMAT BENEFITS
28

The benefits of demat are enumerated as follows:

Easy and convenient way to hold securities Immediate transfer of securities Safer than paper-shares Reduced paperwork for transfer of securities Reduced transaction cost A single demat account can hold investments in both equity and debt instruments.

Traders can work from anywhere (e.g. even from home). Benefit to the company: The depository system helps in reducing the cost of new issues due to lower printing and distribution costs. It increases the efficiency.It provides better facilities for communication and timely service to shareholders and investors.

Benefits to brokers: It reduces risks of delayed settlement. It ensures greater profit due to increase in volume of trading. It eliminates chances of forgery or bad delivery.

Benefit to the investor:The depository system reduces risks involved in holding physical certificates, e.g., loss, theft, mutilation, forgery, etc. It ensures transfer settlements and reduces delay in registration of shares. It ensures faster communication to investors.

DISADVANTAGES OF DEMAT:
29

Trading in securities may become uncontrolled in case of dematerialized securities.

It is difficult for the capital market regulator to keep a close watch on the trading in dematerialized securities.

For dematerialized securities, the role of key market players such as stock-brokers needs to be supervised as they have the capability of manipulating the market.

TRADING PATTERN OF STOCK EXCHANGE

Traditionally, settlement system on Indian stock exchanges gave rise to settlement risk due to the time that elapsed before trades were settled by physical movement of certificates. There were two aspects: First relating to settlement of trade in stock exchanges by delivery of shares by the seller and payment by the buyer. The stock exchange aggregated trades over a period of time and carried out net settlement through the physical delivery of securities. The process of physically moving the securities from the seller to his broker to Clearing Corporation to the buyers broker and finally to thebuyer took time with the risk of delay somewhere along the chain. The second aspect related to transfer of shares in favor of the purchaser by the issuer. This system of transfer of ownership was grossly inefficient as every
30

transfer involved the physical movement of paper securities to the issuer for registration, with the change of ownership being evidenced by an endorsement on the security certificate. In many cases the process of transfer took much longer than the two months as stipulated in the Companies Act, and a significant proportion of transactions wound up as bad delivery due to faulty compliance of paper work. Theft, mutilation of certificates and other irregularities were rampant, and in addition the issuer had the right to refuse the transfer of a security. Thus the buyer did not get good title of the securities after parting with good money. All this added to the costs and delays in settlement, restricted liquidity and made investor grievance redressal time-consuming and at times intractable. A depository holds securities in dematerialized form. It maintains ownership records of securities and effects transfer of ownership through book entry. By fiction of law, it is the registered owner of the securities held with it with the limited purpose of effecting transfer of ownership at the behest of the owner. The name of the depository appears in the records of the issuer as registered owner of securities. The name of actual owner appears in the records of the depository as beneficial owner. The beneficial owner has all the rights and liabilities associated with the securities. The owner of securities intending to avail of depository services opens a DEMAT A/C.In order to promote dematerialization of securities, NSE joined hands with leading financial institutions to establish the National Securities Depository Ltd. (NSDL), the first depository in the country, with the objective of enhancing the efficiency in
31

settlement systems as also to reduce the menace of fake/forged and stolen securities.

Trading

32

Shares of stock are usually traded on a stock exchange, where people and organizations may buy and sell shares in a wide range of companies. A given company will usually only trade its shares in one market, and it is said to be quoted, or listed, on that stock exchange. However, some large, multinational corporations are listed on more than one exchange. They are referred to as interlisted shares. Nowadays, we follow the NEAT SYSTEM of trading. The neat system supports an order driven market, wherein orders match on the basis of time and price priority. All quantity fields are in units and prices are quoted in Indian rupees. The regular lot size and tick size for various securities traded is notified by the exchange from time to time. BUYING There are various methods of buying and financing stocks. The most common means is through a stock broker. Whether they are a full service or discount broker, they are all doing one thing arranging the transfer of stock from a seller to a buyer. Most of the trades are actually done through brokers listed with a stock exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange.

SELLING Selling stock in a company goes through many of the same procedures as buying stock. Generally, the investor wants to buy low and sell high, if not in

33

that order; however, this is not how it always ends up. Sometimes, the investor will cut their losses and claim a loss. SETTLEMENT The stock exchanges in India were following a system of account period settlement for cash market transactions. T+2 rolling settlement has now been introduced for all securities. The members receive the funds/securities in accordance with the pay-in/pay-out schedules notified by the respective exchanges. The time gap between trading and settlement gives rise to settlement risk. The exchanges and their clearing corporations employ risk management practices to ensure timely settlement of trades. The trade are settled irrespective of default by a member and exchange follows up with the defaulting member subsequently for recovery of his dues to the exchanges. Movement of securities has now been dematerialised. Two depositories viz., National Securities Depositories Ltd.(NSDL) and Central Depositories Securities Ltd.(CDSL) provide electronic transfer of securities. All actively traded scrips are held, traded and settled in dematrialised form. The members make available the required securities in the pool account with depository participants(DPs). The DPs transfer the securities from the pool accounts of members to the settlement account of the clearing agency. As per the schedule determined by the clearing agency, the securities are transferred on the pay-out day by the DPs from the settlement account of the clearing agency to the pool accounts of the members. The pay-in and pay-out for securities are collected ont
34

he same day for all settlements. The members are required to maintain accounts with prescribed banks. The members are informed electronically of their pay-in obligations of funds and the members make available the required amount on the prescribed pay-in day. The clearing agency runs an electronic file to debit members accounts with clearing banks and credit its own account. On pay-out day, the funds are transferred by the clearing banks from the account of the clearing agency to the accounts of members as per the members obligation. In the T+2 rolling settlement, the pay-out of funds as well as securities take place 2 working days after the trade cycle. The settlement cycle for this segment is same as for the rolling settlement viz: Trading Clearing Settlement Activity Rolling settlement trading Custodial confirmation Delivery generation Securities and Funds pay in Securities and Funds pay out Valuation of shortages based on at closing prices T+1 working day Day T T+1 working day T+1 working day T+2 working day T+2 working day

doing their own investment research and management. Most operate online or by telephone, charging fees substantially lower than full-service brokers. Other Advantages

A stockbroker not only helps with investment transactions, but also

with client questions, as well as current and prior financial statements and records.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS---ONLINE BROKING

Online Stock Brokers Online stock brokers execute trades; offer the options as retail investors, yet charge much less. The average online stock broker charges $10 or less per
41

trade. Online stock brokerage firms will manage the customers accounts, but not their portfolio. Their advice is found in the information supplied on their websites with company financials, stocks news, and helpful tips on profitable investing. How Does Online Stock Trading Work? Trading stocks online is one of the easier methods for investing in the stock market today. With the advance of the internet, proliferation of online stock trading brokers, and facilitation of the online trading process, more investors are trading stocks than at any other point in market history. The change has been phenomenal: it is estimated that there are 10 times the amount of private investors than existed just 20 years ago. The vast majority are trading stocks online. Tools & techniques: The stock brokers make the process of buying, selling, and investing in stocks, mutual funds, commodities, precious metals, and more, streamlined and easy. Online stock brokers have made investing a point and click endeavor. The get started trading stocks online includes only three small steps: Opening an account with an online stock brokerage firm Funding the account with bank wire transfers or a credit card

42

 Selecting stocks, bonds, or other investment instruments and making a buy

This simplicity in the online trading process has had two major effects on the stock market investor: more investors are brought to the table as investment amounts are lowered and the online trading process demystified, and also the near collapse of the traditional retail stock broker.

COMPANYS HISTORY IN INDIA

In 1999, three IIT-Delhi alumni Sameer Gehlaut, Rajiv Rattan and Saurabh Mittal acquired Orbis,a Delhi based stock broking company. Young entrepreneur Sameer Gehlaut established Indiabulls in 2000, after acquiring orbis Securities, a stock brokerage company in Delhi. The group started its operations from a small office near Hauz Khas bus terminal in Delhi.The office had a tin roof and two computers. The idea of leveraging technology for trading stocks led to the creation of Indiabulls Incorporated on 10th January 2000, it was converted into a public limited company on 27th February 2004. Its original idea of leveraging technology bore fruit when Indiabulls was accorded permission to conduct online trading on Indian stock exchanges. The company had achieved the distinction of becoming only the second brokerage firm in India to be granted this consent. The challenges facing it were immense not least of all the mind set of investors who were called to make the big leap from traditional stock trading to a completely online interface. Having overcome this resistance, the company later expanded its service portfolio to

49

include equity, F&O, wholesale debt, mutual fund distribution and equity research.In 2003/04, Indiabulls ventured into insurance distribution and commodity trading. It successfully floated its IPO in September 2004 and in the same year entered the consumer finance segment. Real estate, the new sunrise industry, was the next frontier for Indiabulls. In 2004/05, it entered this sector. But it wasnt just real estate that was booming. Opportunities were opening up in retail and infrastructure as well. To cement its position in the Indian business and industry firmament,Indiabulls acquired Pyramid Retail in 2007 and marked its presence in the power sector by launching Indiabulls Power.
