Preface
This project has been a great learning experience for me and at the same time it
gave me enough scope to implement my analytical ability. The project in religareis to figure out the potential brokerage plans, which can undertake the various
products and services offered by the religare.
With the advent of the internet, investors can now enter orders directly online, or
even trade with other investors via ECN's (electronic communication networks).
So, most of the brokerage houses have started providing the facility of online
trading to the customers. Today even the banks with the view of expansion and
large number of customers has started providing the online trading terminal to the
customers.
As the competition from big players of online trading like Share khan, Kotak
Mahindra, ICICI Direct etc is rising religare intends to built up a loyal customer
base , the project is a step towards the same. In this era of competition its

becoming difficult for the organizations to acquire and retain the customers.
Hence, for religare it is of utmost importance to have satisfied existing customers
as well as to attract the other customers.
With the help of this project Religare Securities Ltd could tap the Customers
potential in investment and which would provide them various opportunities ofincreasing the customer base.
Customer Relationship and Branch Operations believes that They would

INTRODUCTION TO TOPIC
Globalization has proved to be a boon for the Indian economy. After globalization
there has been a tremendous growth in the Indian economy.
Every sector of the economy has shown an outstanding performance after
globalization.
The project was under taken as to study the Indian online trading. Earlier Trading
was confined in limited boundaries but now the scenario has been totally different
after the entrance of online trading. There is a cut throat competition between the
broking houses. Now the brokers are more concerned about their customers to

improve their performance. The sector is undergoing
fundamental changes that have diluted its traditional role of
protecting small deposits against capital and income risk and facilitating the
conversion of Savings into investment.
Also there have been a drastic increase in the volume of share traded on stock
exchange and with that the online trading has shown Bull Run.
Increasing Internet trading volume
Online trading is the service offered on the internet for purchase and sales of
shares. In the real world you place orders on your stock broker either verbally or in
a written form. In online trading you will access a stock brokers website through
your internet enabled PC and place orders through the brokers internet based
trading engine. These orders are routed to the stock exchange without manual
intervention and executed their own in the matter of a few seconds. From the past
two years the volume of the internet trading has increased largely.

CHAPTER TWO
Introduction to brokerage industry
Post major reforms initiative in early 2000s brokerage industry in India isexperiencing rapid growth and diversity. At present apart of brokerage business
industry is also offering wide range of financial services. These developments have
resulted in huge spurt in business and also growing market share of the large sized
brokerage houses has led to surge in enterprise value. In the year 2007 IPOs of
large firms (Motilal Oswal, Religare, and Edelweiss) received huge response

(Indian catalog, 2001). At the same time global and
private equity firms have taken stake in brokerage firms.
In India there are about 45 equity brokerage houses that are at present listed in the
stock exchanges.
Industry Insight
Majority of the broking firms entered the business post 1990. A majority of
members have memberships in more than one stock exchange and across
equities, equity derivatives and commodities futures in domestic and
International stock exchange.
On the back of growing equity culture broking activity is spreading in Tier IIand Tier III cities in India.
Deepening financial system and economic growth has provided growth and
expansion opportunities to broking firms. Access to public equity markets
and growing international investors interest has enabled them to raise
resources.
Although there are more than 9000 brokers registered with SEBI 80% of the
turnover in NSE and BSE is accounted by about 100 brokers.
One of the oldest trading industries that have been around even before the
establishment of BSE is the Indian Broking Industry. Post liberalization there have
been number of changes, despite this the stock broking industry was at its pace and
retained its sustainable growth.

To study the trend in the stock broking industry, if we
take the database of over 394 broking firms. All the data for the study was
collected through responses received directly from the broking firms. The insights
have been arrived at through an analysis on various parameters, pertinent to the
equity broking industry, such as region, terminal, market, branches, sub brokers,products and growth areas.
Some key characteristics of the sample 394 firms are:
On the basis of geographical concentration, the West region has the
maximum representation of 52%. Around 24% firms are located in the
North, 13% in the South and 10% in the East
3% firms started broking operations before 1950, 65% between 1950-
1995 and 32% post 1995
On the basis of terminals, 40% are located at Mumbai, 12% in Delhi, 8%
in Ahmedabad, 7% in Kolkata, 4% in Chennai and 29% are from other
cities
In the cash market, around 34% firms trade at NSE, 14% at BSE and
52% trade at both exchanges. In the derivative segment, 48% trade at
NSE, 7% at BSE and 45% at both, whereas in the debt market, 31% trade
at NSE, 26% at BSE and 43% at both exchanges
Majority of branches are located in the North, i.e. around 40%. West has31%, 24% are located in South and 5% in East
In terms of sub-brokers, around 55% are located in the South, 29% in
West, 11% in North and 4% in East

In case of sub-brokers, almost 55% of them are based
in the South. West and North follow, with 30% and 11%

(Graph 3)
Where one firm looses out to other
Lack of well established branches put smaller brokers at a disadvantage
when compared to larger Brick and Mortar players who have presence in
every corner of the country.

Bulk of client base is made up of retail investors.
Institutional and other high value high volume
investors prefer to trade with so called blue chip brokers. Retail investors are
easy come easy go accompanied with inconsistent trading habits. In Bull
Run they gain confidence to invest but in correction phase they loseconfidence easily.
High competition among Stock brokers has put significant pressure on the
prices. Market consolidation and merger are expected to keep the broking
industry viable in the long run.
Demanding customers asks for 24/7/365 access to information and
transaction capability. Providing it with minimum overheads is very
challenging especially for newer firms who are yet to realize margin of
scale.
Foreign banks for a slice of equity business pie
In the recent period, global and domestic private equity firms have taken stake in
brokerage firms such as Anand Rathi (Citigroup), Edelweiss (Lehman Brothers),
Geojit (BNP Paribas), SMC (Millennium India), Motilal Oswal (New Vernon),
Network Broking (Amas Bank of Hindujas) and India Infoline (Orient Global) etc.
Stock Exchange - Business Trends
INDIAN STOCK MARKETS AND EXCHANGES
There are 23 recognized stock exchanges in India, including the Over the Counter
Exchange of India (OTCEI) for small and new companies and the National Stock
Exchange (NSE) which was set up as a model exchange to provide nation-wide
services to investors.

BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE (BSE)
Bombay stock exchange is the oldest stock exchange of India For the premier
Stock Exchange that pioneered the stock broking activity in India, 128 years of
experience seems to be a proud milestone. A lot has changed since 1875 when 318persons became members of what today is called "The Stock Exchange, Mumbai"
by paying a princely amount of Re1.
Since then, the country's capital markets have passed through both good and bad
periods. The journey in the 20th century has not been an easy one. Till the decade
of eighties, there was no scale to measure the ups and downs in the Indian stock
market. The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) in 1986 came out with a stock index
that subsequently became the barometer of the Indian stock market.
SENSEX
SENSEX is not only scientifically designed but also based on globally accepted
construction and review methodology. First compiled in 1986, SENSEX is a basket
of 30 constituent stocks representing a sample of large, liquid and representative
companies. The base year of SENSEX is 1978-79 and the base value is 100. The
index is widely reported in both domestic and international markets through print
as well as electronic media.
The index is calculated on the Free-float Market Capitalization methodology.
The "Free-float Market Capitalization" methodology of index construction is
regarded as an industry best practice globally. All major index providers like
NIKKEI, NASDAQ and DOW JONES use the free float methodology.

19/83
The growth of equity markets in India has been
phenomenal in the decade gone by. Right from early
nineties the stock market witnessed heightened activity in terms of various bull and
bear runs. The SENSEX captured all these events in the most judicial manner. One
can identify the booms and busts of the Indian stock market through SENSEX.
NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE (NSE)
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 equalfooting. 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 The Capital Market (Equities) segment commenced operations in
November 1994 and operations in Derivatives segment commenced in June 2000.
When Indias National Stock Exchange (NSE) was started in 1994, few believed it
would survive. How could a stock exchange run by a team of untested
professionals headed by a former development banker succeed against existing
stock exchanges run by third generation, savvy stockbrokers?
19

8/3/2019 Comparative Study of Brokerage Plans of Religare Securities Ltd. With Various Brokerage Firms-1
20/83
Critics even went to the extent of warning that NSEs
sophisticated systems would be a misfit in an Indian
capital market dominated by physical deliveries, arbitrary speculative trade, and
lengthy trade settlements.
Today, with number of trades touching 2.5 million a day and turnover touchingturnover touching Rs 100 billion in value terms, NSE towers over all the other
stock exchanges in the country.
In a ten-year period (NSE completed a decade on June 30, 2004) the National
Stock Exchange has tilted the market system in favour of investors and away from
a significant bias in favour of intermediaries. For a mass of investors across the
country, the NSE is now the focal point for trading in stocks, and futures and
options.
The Stock Exchange, (NSE) came out with a stock index that subsequently became
another barometer of the Indian stock market known as NIFTY.
Nifty been the focal point of investors, as it provides trading the shares as well as
index in futures and options. Before Nifty came into existence trading of index
concept was not present it was introduced by Nifty and is present in it only, till
date.
CASH MARKET AND DERIVATIVES
National stock exchange gives the investors different option where an investor can
deal the equities into different market situations like cash market and derivatives.
Cash market is simply the equity market where investors have to pay the securityamount which is done in BSE also but in NSE investors has the choice of dealing
in derivatives. Derivatives are the future market where investors have the option of
dealing in the price list of futures for which there a separate index is present known
as NIFTY FUTURE.
20

8/3/2019 Comparative Study of Brokerage Plans of Religare Securities Ltd. With Various Brokerage Firms-1
21/83
In Derivatives there are two choices available for an
investor FUTURES AND OPTIONS
FUTURE In future market shares are deal in lots these lots could be of different
numbers like 100, 200, 500 etc. Investors while taking over these lots and comingunder the contract takes the position of the shares by paying the 1/3rd amount of
the total holdings. (could be understood by a formula).
Holdings of investors = (shares lot * price of the lot) / 3.
This formula explains that as investor is interested in taking 2 lots of
reliance of 100 shares of Rs. 900 , the investor has to pay:-
(2*100*900) / 3 = 60000/
Which shows the investor is taking the position of Rs. 180000/- in just Rs. 60000/-
in future market which the area of attraction of this particular market. These
holdings are taken for 1 month, 2 months and three months according to the
investors preference. The beauty of this contract is that the remaining 2/3rd money
of the holdings is paid by the broking house the investors dealing with. Investor
coming into this contract should know that by the time of contract he is in like of 1
or 2 months investor should clear its position before the last Thursday of the expiry
month.
OPTIONS Option is a contract where the investor has two options to deal with
CALL and PUT. The concept of call and put is opposite to each other call is the
contract where the investors believe that the market is going to be BULLISH in
near future and put option is taken when he thinks that the market is going to be
BEARISH in the future.
In the call option investors is benefited if market drives up in future and in put will
be benefited if it slips down.

1. How much income are you able to save or invest?
a. 0 - 10% b. 10 - 20%
c. 20 30% d. 30 40%
e. others
ANALYSIS:
Among the 50 questionnaires filled, it was clear that among them maximum people
invest in the category of 10-20%. Thus Religare has the opportunity to capture thissegment. But people are not aware of the services so here Religare has to work in
this area.

64/83
2. You invest in which of the following financial instruments?
(a) Securities
(b) Mutual fund
(c) Commodities
(d) Insurance
(e) Other Instruments
ANALYSIS:
The above observation speaks about the financial instruments in which the people
invest; most of the people invest in the securities through share market and then
invest in the insurance. Thus more focus should be made on securities so that
company has the maximum investment. This would ultimately increase the profits.

(a) YES
(b) NO
ANALYSIS:
It can be seen that among the whole population around 58% people either invest in
stock market or they are actually interested, but dont have a good knowledge
about it. So these people can actually become Religares target market but religare
has to provide them the better services and brokerage plans and also, providing
them the initial platform of online trading.

65
-
8/3/2019 Comparative Study of Brokerage Plans of Religare Securities Ltd. With Various Brokerage Firms-1

(a) YES
(b) NO

66
-
8/3/2019 Comparative Study of Brokerage Plans of Religare Securities Ltd. With Various Brokerage Firms-1
67/83
(b) Offline
ANALYSIS:
Among 50 respondents 32 had a demat account. Of these 32, 21 have their demat
account offline and rest 11 have their demat accounts online. As online broking is
still at a premature stage in India. Thus more and more awareness should be made

(a) India Infoline (b) India Bulls (c) Kotak
(d) Religare (e) ICICI direct (f) Share khan

68/83
(g) Others
ANALYSIS:
Among these 32 people most of them have their demat account with ShareKhan
and Indiabulls. Thus these two are Religares biggest competitors. Also
ICICIDirect gives a good competition to Religare. These brands have a good brand
recall as compared to Religare.
7. Do you trade in Futures and Options?
(a) Yes
(b) No
68
-
8/3/2019 Comparative Study of Brokerage Plans of Religare Securities Ltd. With Various Brokerage Firms-1
69/83
ANALYSIS:
It can be seen that among the population who invest in stock market, around 37%
people either trade in future or they trade in option. So these people can actually
become Religares target market as they generate heavy brokerage for the
company. Religare has to provide them the better services and brokerage plans and
also, providing them the initial platform of online trading.
8. How often you trade in the stock market
(a) Everyday (b) 2-3 Days a week

-
8/3/2019 Comparative Study of Brokerage Plans of Religare Securities Ltd. With Various Brokerage Firms-1
70/83
(c) 12-18 days a month (d) 2-3 days a month
ANALYSIS:
The above observation speaks about the; most of the people do trading every day.
Thus more focus should be made on the traders which are every day traders. The
company should also focus on the others also because they are the traders for the
long term investment and also, provide heavy brokerage to the company.

(c) (0.03 0.04) % (d) (0.04 0.05) %
(e) 0.05 % or more
ANALYSIS:
It can be seen that the companies are charging brokerage according to their own
means. So, the companies are creating biasness between the customers. Even if the
customers portfolio is the same then also the brokerage may vary from the person
to person. So, religare has the best feature of providing less brokerage and
according to the customers wants.
