3 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
PREFACE
Indian stock exchanges host the most number of listed companies after United States. About 2500
companies are listed in the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange. Apart from
foreign institutional investors, Indian stock market has some 30 million domestic investors.
The working of stock markets has started in India as early as 1875, when 318 persons coming together
to Native Share and Stock Brokers Association, with Re.1 for membership free.
Closest to BSE is National Stock Exchange, also located at Bombay. Nifty is the market index of NSE.
Indian stock market has seen many ups and downs, but now is flying high, crossing every previous
record and zoom to even further heights. BSE-Sensex crossed the four-figure mark of 1000 in 1990
and had a smooth bull ride till 1992, when the big-full of Indian stock market, Harshad Mehta became
a villain in the in famous Harshad Mehta scam broke out. The sensex lost 570 points in no time and
some eight to 12 million investors were pushed to bankruptcy.
After that incidence, came the Securities and Exchanges Board of India. With the enforcement of
several regulations and strict guidelines, the confidence of investors was somewhat regained. With the
present technology and practices, it is next to impossible to commit a fraud in Indian Stock market. So
claims the SEBI.
Under the watchful eyes of SEBI, Indian Stock markets once again gained momentum. The sensex
crossed reached and crossed 6000 mark in 2000 and crossed the 7000 and 8000 marks in 2005.
Foreign Institutional Investors are pumping in money into the market.
The FIIs are confident of a sustainable momentum. The momentum in the stock market can be
associated with the growth in the fields of export, IT, ITES, telecommunication, education, energy
sector, agriculture etc. The reformist policies being pursued by the government is also a factor for this
growth.
Due to large scale outsourcing by American and European countries, a large number of jobs also went
to India, resulting in more affluent youth who are only happy to spend out their money. This helped in
4 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
the growth of telecommunication, FMCG and manufacturing sectors. The steady growth of GDP is
also a critical factor in the upward movement of Indian stock market.
Apart from FIIs, the non-resident Indians also invest hugely in the stock market. Diminishing returns
from bank deposits and the facilities of online trading made them turn to stock markets and with the
current bull-run many have made a good fortune from stock markets. The stockbrokers also chip in on
and open offices in foreign countries, aimed at him NRIs there.
The initial public offers by Tata Consultancy Services, Maruti Udyog Limited, ONGC etc. were big
events in Indian stock market. Not only did they put a great show, but also took the stock market to
newer heights. TCS is a big weight in the stock market from the day it was listed. Traditional heavy
weights are Reliance, Tata, and Bharati etc. Now new entrants like Biocon are also play significant
roles in the market.
Growth directed at sky is visible everywhere. The biggest growth opportunity lies in the stock market
itself. The population of India is well above one billion. The number of investors is just above 40
million. That is just 4% of the total population. The measures for a 10% growth are sought.

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. It 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.
The following years witnessed rapid development of Indian capital market with introduction of
internet trading, Exchange traded funds (ETF), stock derivatives and the first volatility index -
IndiaVIX in April 2008, by NSE.
August 2008 saw introduction of Currency derivatives in India with the launch of Currency Futures in
USD INR by NSE. Interest Rate Futures was introduced for the first time in India by NSE on 31st
August 2009, exactly after one year of the launch of Currency Futures.
With this, now both the retail and institutional investors can participate in equities, equity derivatives,
currency and interest rate derivatives, giving them wide range of products to take care of their
evolving needs.

Edelweiss to acquire Anagram Capital:
Edelweiss has entered into an agreement to acquire Anagram Capital for Rs. 164 crore in an all-cash
transaction. With a nation-wide network of more than 150 branches and over 1,400 sub-brokers,
Anagram has one of the widest geographical reach among retail broking firms.
The company has more than 1.80 lakh clients and estimated total revenue of Rs. 100 crore for the nine
months ended December 31, 2009. The company’s average daily equity trading volume is about Rs.
800 crore. Edelweiss plans to operate Anagram as a 100 per cent subsidiary with clear focus on
continuity and building on the current business and people with investments in research, products,
training and technology.
“This acquisition is in synch with Edelweiss’ plan to expand the retail broking business. The
acquisition of Anagram, with its reach and large, high quality and diversified client base, will give
impetus to Edelweiss’ retail broking and distribution businesses.
What makes this transaction exciting is the minimal overlap between the broking operations of both
companies. We are also impressed with Anagram’s professional management team and the consistent
focus on client service and risk management. I welcome all employees, Anagram’s clients and partners
to the Edelweiss family,” said Rashesh Shah, Chairman, Edelweiss Group, said.
With a view to focussing on its core business of textiles, Gujarat-based Lalbhai group on Wednesday
exited its domestic broking business by selling its firm, Anagram Capital, to Edelweiss Capital.
“The Lalbhai group’s core business is textiles and it is a global leader in denim. It is also diversifying
into other businesses and since finance does not form a core business for the group, it was decided to
sell-off the business,” Anagram Capital’s CEO, Mayank Shah, told PTI here. In the late-1990s, ICICI
had acquired Anagram Finance, another Lalbhai group company.

Analysis of Indian Stock Market
24 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
In general, the financial market divided into two parts, Money market and capital market. Securities
market is an important, organized capital market where transaction of capital is facilitated by means of
direct financing using securities as a commodity. Securities market can be divided into a primary
market and secondary market.
PRIMARY MARKET
The primary market is an intermittent and discrete market where the initially listed shares are traded
first time, changing hands from the listed company to the investors. It refers to the process through
which the companies, the issuers of stocks, acquire capital by offering their stocks to investors who
supply the capital. In other words primary market is that part of the capital markets that deals with the
issuance of new securities. Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain funding
through the sale of a new stock or bond issue. This is typically done through a syndicate of securities
dealers. The process of selling new issues to investors is called underwriting. In the case of a new
stock issue, this sale is called an initial public offering (IPO). Dealers earn a commission that is built
into the price of the security offering, though it can be found in the prospectus.
SECONDARY MARKET
The secondary market is an on-going market, which is equipped and organized with a place, facilities
and other resources required for trading securities after their initial offering. It refers to a specific place
where securities transaction among many and unspecified persons is carried out through
intermediation of the securities firms, i.e., a licensed broker, and the exchanges, a specialized trading
organization, in accordance with the rules and regulations established by the exchanges.
A bit about history of stock exchange they say it was under a tree that it all started in 1875.Bombay
Stock Exchange (BSE) was the major exchange in India till 1994.National Stock Exchange (NSE)
started operations in 1994.
NSE was floated by major banks and financial institutions. It came as a result of Harshad Mehta scam
of 1992. Contrary to popular belief the scam was more of a banking scam than a stock market scam.
The old methods of trading in BSE were people assembling on what is called a ring in the BSE
25 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
building. They had a unique sign language to communicate apart from all the shouting. Investors
weren't allowed access and the system was opaque and misused by brokers. The shares were in
physical form and prone to duplication and fraud.
NSE was the first to introduce electronic screen based trading. BSE was forced to follow suit. The
present day trading platform is transparent and gives investors prices on a real time basis. With the
introduction of depository and mandatory dematerialization of shares chances of fraud reduced further.
The trading screen gives you top 5 buy and sell quotes on every scrip.
A typical trading day starts at 9.00 am ending at 3.30 pm. Monday to Friday. BSE has 30 stocks which
make up the Sensex .NSE has 50 stocks in its index called Nifty. FII s Banks, financial institutions
mutual funds are biggest players in the market. Then there are the retail investors and speculators. The
last ones are the ones who follow the market morning to evening; Market can be very addictive like
blogging though stakes are higher in the former.
ORIGIN OF INDIAN STOCK MARKET
26 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
The origin of the stock market in India goes back to the end of the eighteenth century when long-term
negotiable securities were first issued. However, for all practical purposes, the real beginning occurred
in the middle of the nineteenth century after the enactment of the companies Act in 1850, which
introduced the features of limited liability and generated investor interest in corporate securities.
An important early event in the development of the stock market in India was the formation of the
native share and stock brokers 'Association at Bombay in 1875, the precursor of the present day
Bombay Stock Exchange. This was followed by the formation of associations/exchanges in
Ahmedabad (1894), Calcutta (1908), and Madras (1937). In addition, a large number of ephemeral
exchanges emerged mainly in buoyant periods to recede into oblivion during depressing times
subsequently.
Stock exchanges are intricacy inter-woven in the fabric of a nation's economic life. Without a stock
exchange, the saving of the community- the sinews of economic progress and productive efficiency-
would remain underutilized. The task of mobilization and allocation of savings could be attempted in
the old days by a much less specialized institution than the stock exchanges. But as business and
industry expanded and the economy assumed more complex nature, the need for 'permanent finance'
arose. Entrepreneurs needed money for long term whereas investors demanded liquidity – the facility
to convert their investment into cash at any given time. The answer was a ready market for
investments and this was how the stock exchange came into being.
Stock exchange means anybody of individuals, whether incorporated or not, constituted for the
purpose of regulating or controlling the business of buying, selling or dealing in securities. These
securities include:
(i) Shares, scrip, stocks, bonds, debentures stock or other marketable securities of a like nature in or of
any incorporated company or other body corporate;
(ii) Government securities; and
(iii) Rights or interest in securities.
27 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd (NSE) are the two
primary exchanges in India. In addition, there are 22 Regional Stock Exchanges. However, the BSE
and NSE have established themselves as the two leading exchanges and account for about 80 per cent
of the equity volume traded in India. The NSE and BSE are equal in size in terms of daily traded
volume. The average daily turnover at the exchanges has increased from Rs 851 crore in 1997-98 to Rs
1,284 crore in 1998-99 and further to Rs 2,273 crore in 1999-2000 (April - August 1999). NSE has
around 1500 shares listed with a total market capitalization of around Rs 9, 21,500 crore. Analysis of
Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
The BSE has over 6000 stocks listed and has a market capitalization of around Rs 9, 68,000 crore.
Most key stocks are traded on both the exchanges and hence the investor could buy them on either
exchange. Both exchanges have a different settlement cycle, which allows investors to shift their
positions on the bourses. The primary index of BSE is BSE Sensex comprising 30 stocks. NSE has the
S&P NSE 50 Index (Nifty) which consists of fifty stocks. The BSE Sensex is the older and more
widely followed index.
Both these indices are calculated on the basis of market capitalization and contain the heavily traded
shares from key sectors. The markets are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Both the exchanges have
switched over from the open outcry trading system to a fully automated computerized mode of trading
known as BOLT (BSE on Line Trading) and NEAT (National Exchange Automated Trading) System.
It facilitates more efficient processing, automatic order matching, faster execution of trades and
transparency; the scrip's traded on the BSE have been classified into 'A', 'B1', 'B2', 'C', 'F' and 'Z'
groups. The 'A' group shares represent those, which are in the carry forward system (Badla). The 'F'
group represents the debt market (fixed income securities) segment. The 'Z' group scrip's are the
blacklisted companies. The 'C' group covers the odd lot securities in 'A', 'B1' & 'B2' groups and Rights
renunciations. The key regulator governing Stock Exchanges, Brokers, Depositories, Depository
participants, Mutual Funds, FIIs and other participants in Indian secondary and primary market is the
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Ltd.
28 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
BACKGROUND OF STOCK EXCHANGE IN INDIA
The emergence of stock market can be traced back to 1830. In Bombay, business passed in the shares
of banks like the commercial bank, the chartered mercantile bank, the chartered bank, the oriental bank
and the old bank of Bombay and shares of cotton presses. In Calcutta, Englishman reported the
quotations of 4%, 5%, and 6% loans of East India Company as well as the shares of the bank of
Bengal in 1836. This list was a further broadened in 1839 when the Calcutta newspaper printed the
quotations of banks like union bank and Agra bank. It also quoted the prices of business ventures like
the Bengal bonded warehouse, the Docking Company and the storm tug company.
Between 1840 and 1850, only half a dozen brokers existed for the limited business. But during the
share mania of 1860-65, the number of brokers increased considerably. By 1860, the number of
brokers was about 60 and during the exciting period of the American Civil war, their number increased
to about 200 to 250. The end of American Civil war brought disillusionment and many failures and the
brokers decreased in number and prosperity. It was in those troublesome times between 1868 and 1875
that brokers organized an informal association and finally as recited in the Indenture constituting the
“Articles of Association of the Exchange”. On or about 9th day of July,1875, a few native brokers
doing brokerage business in shares and stocks resolved upon forming in Bombay an association for
protecting the character, status and interest of native share and stock brokers and providing a hall or
building for the use of the members of such association.
As a meeting held in the broker’ Hall on the 5th day of February, 1887, it was resolved to execute a
formal deal of association and to constitute the first managing committee and to appoint the first
trustees. Accordingly, the Articles of Association of the Exchange and the Stock Exchange was
formally established in Bombay on 3rd day of December, 1887. The Association is now known as
“The Stock Exchange”.
The entrance fee for new member was Re.1 and there were 318 members on the list, when the
exchange was constituted. The numbers of members increased to 333 in 1896, 362 in 1916and 478 in
1920 and the entrance fee was raised to Rs.5 in 1877, Rs.1000 in 1896, Rs.2500 in 1916 and Rs.
48,000 in 1920. At present there are 23 recognized stock exchanges with about 6000 stock brokers. 14
stock exchanges are organized as public limited companies, 6 as companies limited by guarantee and 3
29 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
are non-profit voluntary organization. Of the total of 23, only 9 stock exchanges have been permanent
recognition. Others have to seek recognition on annual basis.

some persons and institution. All these are down as functionaries on stock exchange. These are
1. Stockbrokers

sell or deal in securities. A certificate of registration from SEBI is mandatory to act as a broker. SEBI
can impose certain conditions while granting the certificate of registrations. It is obligatory for the
person to abide by the rules, regulations and the buy-law. Stock brokers are commission broker, floor
broker, arbitrageur etc.
2.) Sub-broker:
A sub-broker acts as agent of stock broker. He is not a member of a stock exchange.
He assists the investors in buying, selling or dealing in securities through stockbroker. The broker and
sub-broker should enter into an agreement in which obligations of both should be specified. Sub-
broker must be registered SEBI for a dealing in securities. For getting registered with SEBI, he must
fulfill certain rules and regulation.

having a commercial operation for less than 2 years should appoint a market maker at the time of issue
of securities.
4.) Portfolio Consultants:
A combination of securities such as stocks, bonds and money market

BSE Auto, BSE Pharma, BSE Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), BSE Consumer Durables
(SYMBOL: Cons Dura), BSE Metal. NSE also set up as index services firm known as India Index
Services & Products Limited (IISL) and has launched several stock indices, including: S&P CNX
Nifty, CNX Nifty Junior, CNX 100 (= S&P CNX Nifty + CNX Nifty Junior), S&P CNX 500 (= CNX
100 + 400 major players across 72 industries), CNX Midcap (introduced on 18 July 2005 replacing
CNX Midcap 200).
35 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
CALCULATION OF SENSEX
SENSEX is calculated using a "Market Capitalization-Weighted" methodology. As per this
methodology, the level of index at any point of time reflects the total market value of 30 component
stocks relative to a base period. (The market capitalization of a company is determined by multiplying
the price of its stock by the number of shares issued by the company). An index of a set of combined
variables (such as price and number of shares) is commonly referred as a 'Composite Index' by
statisticians. A single indexed number is used to represent the results of this calculation in order to
make the value easier to work with and track over time. It is much easier to graph a chart based on
indexed values than one based on actual values.
The base period of SENSEX is 1978-79. The actual total market value of the stocks in the Index
during the base period has been set equal to an indexed value of 100. This is often indicated by the
notation 1978-79=100. The formula used to calculate the Index is fairly straightforward. However, the
calculation of the adjustments to the Index (commonly called Index maintenance) is more complex.
The calculation of SENSEX involves dividing the total market capitalization of 30 companies in the
Index by a number called the Index Divisor. The Divisor is the only link to the original base period
value of the SENSEX. It keeps the Index comparable over time and is the adjustment point for all
Index maintenance adjustments. During market hours, prices of the index scrip’s, at which latest trades
are executed, are used by the trading system to calculate SENSEX every 15 seconds and disseminated
in real time.
36 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
CLOSURE OF SENSEX
The closing SENSEX is computed taking the weighted average of all the trades on SENSEX
constituents in the last 15 minutes of trading session. If a SENSEX constituent has not traded in the
last 15 minutes, the last traded price is taken for computation of the Index closure. If a SENSEX
constituent has not traded at all in a day, then its last day's closing price is taken for computation of
Index closure. The use of Index Closure Algorithm prevents any intentional manipulation of the
closing index value.
MAINTAINENCE OF SENSEX
One of the important aspects of maintaining continuity with the past is to update the base year average.
The base year value adjustment ensures that additional issue of capital and other corporate
announcements like bonus etc. do not destroy the value of the index. The beauty of maintenance lies in
the fact that adjustments for corporate actions in the Index should not per se affect the index values.
The Index Cell of the Exchange does the day-to-day maintenance of the index within the broad index
policy framework set by the Index Committee. The Index Cell takes special care to ensure that
SENSEX and all the other BSE indices maintain their benchmark properties by striking a delicate
balance between high turnover in Index scrip’s and its representative character. The Index Committee
of the Exchange has experts from different field of finance related to the capital markets. They include
Academicians, Fund-managers from leading Mutual Funds, Finance - Journalists, Market Participants,
Independent Governing Board members, and Exchange administration.
SENSEX UPDATION
During market hours, prices of the index scrip’s, at which trades are executed, are automatically used
by the trading computer to calculate the SENSEX every 15 seconds and continuously updated on all
trading workstations connected to the BSE trading computer in real time.

MARKET BASICS
Electronic Trading:
43 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
Electronic trading eliminates the need for physical trading floors. Brokers
can trade from their offices, using fully automated screen-based processes. Their workstations are
connected to a Stock Exchange's central computer via satellite using Very Small Aperture Terminus
(VSATs). The orders placed by brokers reach the Exchange's central computer and are matched
electronically.
Exchanges in India:
The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE)
are the country's two leading Exchanges. There are 20 other regional Exchanges, connected via the
Inter-Connected Stock Exchange (ICSE). The BSE and NSE allow nationwide trading via their VSAT
systems.
Index:
An Index is a comprehensive measure of market trends, intended for investors who are
concerned with general stock market price movements. An Index comprises stocks that have large
liquidity and market capitalization. Each stock is given a weight age in the Index equivalent to its
market capitalization. At the NSE, the capitalization of NIFTY (fifty selected stocks) is taken as a base
capitalization, with the value set at 1000. Similarly, BSE Sensitive Index or Sensex comprises 30
selected stocks. The Index value compares the day's market capitalization vis-à-vis base capitalization
and indicates how prices in general have moved over a period of time.
Execute an Order:
Select a broker of your choice and enter into a broker-client agreement and fill
in the client registration form. Place your order with your broker preferably in writing. Get a trade
confirmation slip on the day the trade is executed and ask for the contract note at the end of the trade
date.
Need a Broker:
44 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
As per SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India.) regulations, only registered
members can operate in the stock market. One can trade by executing a deal only through a
registered broker of a recognized Stock Exchange or through a SEBI-registered sub-broker.
Contract Note:
A contract note describes the rate, date, time at which the trade was transacted
and the brokerage rate. A contract note issued in the prescribed format establishes a legally
enforceable relationship between the client and the member in respect of trades stated in the contract
note. These are made in duplicate and the member and the client both keep a copy each. A client
should receive the contract note within 24 hours of the executed trade.
Split:
A Split is book entry wherein the face value of the share is altered to create a greater number of
shares outstanding without calling for fresh capital or altering the share capital account. For example,
if a company announces a two-way split, it means that a share of the face value of Rs 10 is split into
two shares of face value of Rs 5 each and a person holding one share now holds `two shares.
Buy Back:
As the name suggests, it is a process by which a company can buy back its shares from
shareholders. A company may buy back its shares in various ways: from existing shareholders on a
proportionate basis; through a tender offer from open market; through a book-building process; from
the Stock Exchange; or from odd lot holders. A company cannot buy back through negotiated deals on
or off the Stock Exchange, through spot transactions or through any private arrangement.
Settlement Cycle:
The accounting period for the securities traded on the Exchange. On the NSE, the
cycle begins on Wednesday and ends on the following Tuesday, and on the BSE the cycle commences
on Monday and ends on Friday. At the end of this period, the obligations of each broker are calculated
and the brokers settle their respective obligations as per the rules, bye- laws and regulations of the
Clearing Corporation. If a transaction is entered on the first day of the settlement, the same will be
45 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
settled on the eighth working day excluding the day of transaction. However, if the same is done on
the last day of the settlement, it will be settled on the fourth working day excluding the day of
transaction.
Rolling Settlement:
The rolling settlement ensures that each day's trade is settled by keeping a fixed
gap of a specified number of working days between a trade and its settlement. At present, this gap is
five working days after the trading day. The waiting period is uniform for all trades. In a Rolling
Settlement, all trades outstanding at end of the day have to be settled, which means that the buyer has
to make payments for securities purchased and seller has to deliver the securities sold. In India, we
have adopted the T+5 settlements cycle, which means that a transaction entered into on Day 1 has to
be settled on the Day 1 + 5 working days, when funds pay in or securities pay out takes place.
Advantages of Rolling Settlements
As mentioned earlier, this is the system practiced in developed countries. Pay outs are quicker than in
weekly settlements, and investors will benefit from increased liquidity. The other benefit of the
modified system is that it keeps cash and forward markets separate. In the current system, the trader
has five days to square off his transaction which leads to a high level of speculation as people even
without funds tend to "play" the market. During volatile markets, especially in a bearish market, this
often leads to a payment problem which has dogged the Indian stock exchanges for a long time. It
provides for a higher degree of safety, and once mechanisms such as futures and stock-lending become
popular, it would result in quality speculation and genuine investor interest.
Short Selling:
Short selling is a legitimate trading strategy. It is a sale of a security that the seller does
not own, or any sale that is completed by the delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. Short
sellers take the risk that they will be able to buy the stock at a more favorable price than the price at
which they "sold short."
46 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
The selling of a security that the seller does not own, or any sale that is completed by the delivery of a
security borrowed by the seller, Short sellers assume that they will be able to buy the stock at a lower
amount than the price at which they sold short.
Auction:
An auction is conducted for those securities that members fail to deliver/short deliver
during pay-in. Three factors primarily give rise to an auction: short deliveries, un-rectified bad
deliveries, and un-rectified company objections.
Separate Market for Auctions:
The buy/sell auction for a capital market security is managed
through the auction market. As opposed to the normal market where trade matching is an on-going
process, the trade matching process for auction starts after the auction period is over. If the shares are
not bought at the auction i.e. if the shares are not offered for sale, the Exchange squares up the
transaction as per SEBI guidelines. The transaction is squared up at the highest price from the relevant
trading period till the auction day or at 20 per cent above the last available Closing price whichever is
higher. The pay-in and pay-out of funds for auction square up is held along with the pay-out for the
relevant auction.
Bad Delivery:
SEBI has formulated uniform guidelines for good and bad delivery of documents. Bad
delivery may pertain to a transfer deed being torn, mutilated, overwritten, defaced, or if there are
spelling mistakes in the name of the company or the transfer. Bad delivery exists only when shares are
transferred physically. In "Demat" bad delivery does not exist.
Dematerialization:
Dematerialization in short called as 'demat' is the process by which an investor can
get physical certificates converted into electronic form maintained in an account with the Depository
Participant. The investors can dematerialize only those share certificates that are already registered in
their name and belong to the list of securities admitted for dematerialization at the depositories.
47 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
Depository:
The organization responsible to maintain investor's securities in the electronic form is
called the depository. In other words, a depository can therefore be conceived of as a "Bank" for
securities. In India there are two such organizations viz. NSDL and CDSL. The depository concept is
similar to the Banking system with the exception that banks handle funds whereas a depository
handles securities of the investors. An investor wishing to utilize the services offered by a depository
has to open an account with the depository through Depository Participant.
Depository Participant:
The market intermediary through whom the depository services can be
availed by the investors is called a Depository Participant (DP). As per SEBI regulations, DP could be
organizations involved in the business of providing financial services like banks, brokers, custodians
and financial institutions. This system of using the existing distribution channel (mainly constituting
DPs) helps the depository to reach a wide cross section of investors spread across a large geographical
area at a minimum cost. The admission of the DPs involves a detailed evaluation by the depository of
their capability to meet with the strict service standards and a further evaluation and approval from
SEBI. Realizing the potential, all the custodians in India and a number of banks, financial institutions
and major brokers have already joined as DPs to provide services in a number of cities.

Research Problem:
I was trying to study the Corporate Stock Brokers. Under this the problem is
that I had to know the factors on the basis of which client takes decision to open Demat account.
Research Design:
A good research design is that design which is made keeping in view the objective
of research and availability of staff, time, & money. I have also selected Exploratory Research studies
which are as follows:
Area of Study - The area of my research project was Panipat.
Sample Design:
A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample for a given population. It
refers to the technique or the procedure and the researcher would adopt in selecting items of sample.
Sample design may as well lay down the number of items to be included in the sample i.e. the size of
the sample. Sample design is determined before data is collected.
54 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
Sampling Area - Panipat
Sampling Size - 20 clients of Anagram Capital Ltd. and 50 clients of other corporate
brokers.
Data Collection:
Data collection is most important part of research because the research is based on it.
There are several ways of collecting data which differs considerably in terms of cost, time and other
resources at the disposal of the researchers. The data collection method for this research work is from
primary source as well as secondary. The survey is carried out through a non probability convenience
sampling in Panipat through a structured questionnaire.
Type of Data:
There are two types of Data:
1) Primary
2) Secondary
Primary Source: Source from where first hand information gathered directly are called primary
source and thus information collected is called Primary data. In case of above study the primary source
was consumer.
Primary Data: - The techniques available for collecting primary data are:
Observation method
Questionnaire method
Interview method
Secondary Source: - The source of information already gathered for some other purpose are available
is called secondary data, with regard to my study secondary sources of my study where records of the
company, magazines and papers. The Secondary data was collected on the basis of requirement,
conveniences and reliability of the data.
55 Analysis of Indian Stock Market and Comparison of Corporate Stock Brokers
Out of these I have chosen questionnaire method to collect the data because of low cost, free from the
bias of other interviewer and respondent.
Collection of data through Questionnaire:
This method of data collection is quite popular
particularly in case of big enquires, private individuals, research workers, private and public
organizations and even is adopting it by governments. In this method I went to the clients personally
and asked them to fill the questionnaire.
