INDIAN CAPITAL MARKET: AN OVERVIEW
Evolution of Indian Capital Market
Indian Stock Markets are one of the oldest in Asia. Its history dates back to nearly 200
years ago. The earliest records of security dealings in India are meager and obscure. The
East India Company was the dominant institution in those days and business in its loan
securities used to be transacted towards the close of the eighteenth century.
By 1830's business on corporate stocks and shares in Bank and Cotton presses took place
in Bombay. Though the trading list was broader in 1839, there were only half a dozen
brokers recognized by banks and merchants during 1840 and 1850.
The 1850's witnessed a rapid development of commercial enterprise and brokerage
business attracted many men into the field and by 1860 the number of brokers increased
into 60.
In 1860-61 the American Civil War broke out and cotton supply from United States of
Europe was stopped; thus, the 'Share Mania' in India begun. The number of brokers
increased to about 200 to 250. However, at the end of the American Civil War, in 1865, a
disastrous slump began (for example, Bank of Bombay Share which had touched Rs 2850
could only be sold at Rs. 87).
At the end of the American Civil War, the brokers who thrived out of Civil War in 1874
found a place in a street (now appropriately called as Dalal Street) where they would
conveniently assemble and transact business. In 1887, they formally established in
Bombay, the "Native Share and Stock Brokers' Association" (which is alternatively
known as The Stock Exchange "). In 1895, the Stock Exchange acquired a premise in
the same street and it was inaugurated in 1899. Thus, the Stock Exchange at Bombay was
consolidated.

Other leading cities in stock market operations
Ahmedabad gained importance next to Bombay with respect to cotton textile industry.
After 1880, many mills originated from Ahmedabad and rapidly forged ahead. As new
mills were floated, the need for a Stock Exchange at Ahmedabad was realized and in1894 the brokers formed "The Ahmedabad Share and Stock Brokers' Association".
What the cotton textile industry was to Bombay and Ahmedabad, the jute industry was to
Calcutta. Also tea and coal industries were the other major industrial groups in Calcutta.
After the Share Mania in 1861-65, in the 1870's there was a sharp boom in jute shares,
which was followed by a boom in tea shares in the 1880's and 1890's; and a coal boom
between 1904 and 1908. On June 1908, some leading brokers formed "The Calcutta
Stock Exchange Association".
In the beginning of the twentieth century, the industrial revolution was on the way in
India with the Swadeshi Movement; and with the inauguration of the Tata Iron and Steel
Company Limited in 1907, an important stage in industrial advancement under Indian
enterprise was reached.
Indian cotton and jute textiles, steel, sugar, paper and flourmills and all companies
generally enjoyed phenomenal prosperity, due to the First World War.
In 1920, the then demure city of Madras had the maiden thrill of a stock exchange
functioning in its midst, under the name and style of "The Madras Stock Exchange" with
100 members. However, when boom faded, the number of members stood reduced from
100 to 3, by 1923, and so it went out of existence.
In 1935, the stock market activity improved, especially in South India where there was a
rapid increase in the number of textile mills and many plantation companies were floated.
In 1937, a stock exchange was once again organized in Madras - Madras Stock Exchange
Association (Pvt) Limited. (In 1957 the name was changed to Madras Stock Exchange
Limited).

Lahore Stock Exchange was formed in 1934 and it had a brief life. It was merged with
the Punjab Stock Exchange Limited, which was incorporated in 1936.
Indian Stock Exchanges - An Umbrella Growth
The Second World War broke out in 1939. It gave a sharp boom, which was followed by
a slump. But, in 1943, the situation changed radically, when India was fully mobilized as
a supply base.
On account of the restrictive controls on cotton, bullion, seeds and other commodities,
those dealing in them found in the stock market as the only outlet for their activities.
They were anxious to join the trade and numerous others swelled their number. Many
new associations were constituted for the purpose and Stock Exchanges in all parts of the
country were floated.
The Uttar Pradesh Stock Exchange Limited (1940), Nagpur Stock Exchange Limited
(1940) and Hyderabad Stock Exchange Limited (1944) were incorporated.
In Delhi two stock exchanges - Delhi Stock and Share Brokers' Association Limited and
the Delhi Stocks and Shares Exchange Limited - were floated and later in June 1947,
amalgamated into the Delhi Stock Exchange Association Limited.
Post-independence Scenario
Most of the exchanges suffered almost a total eclipse during depression. Lahore
Exchange was closed during partition of the country and later migrated to Delhi and
merged with Delhi Stock Exchange.

Bangalore Stock Exchange Limited was registered in 1957 and recognized in 1963. Most
of the other exchanges languished till 1957 when they applied to the Central Government
for recognition under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956. Only Bombay,
Calcutta, Madras, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Hyderabad and Indore, the well-established
exchanges, were recognized under the Act. Some of the members of the other
Associations were required to be admitted by the recognized stock exchanges on a
concessional basis, but acting on the principle of unitary control, all these pseudo stock
exchanges were refused recognition by the Government of India and they thereupon
ceased to function.
Thus, during early sixties there were eight recognized stock exchanges in India
(mentioned above). The number virtually remained unchanged, for nearly two decades.During eighties, however, many stock exchanges were established: Cochin Stock
Exchange (1980), Uttar Pradesh Stock Exchange Association Limited (at Kanpur, 1982),
and Pune Stock Exchange Limited (1982), Ludhiana Stock Exchange Association
Limited (1983), Gauhati Stock Exchange Limited (1984), Kanara Stock Exchange
Limited (at Mangalore, 1985), Magadh Stock Exchange Association (at Patna, 1986),
Jaipur Stock Exchange Limited (1989), Bhubaneswar Stock Exchange Association
Limited (1989), Saurashtra Kutch Stock Exchange Limited (at Rajkot, 1989), Vadodara
Stock Exchange Limited (at Baroda, 1990) and recently established exchanges -
Coimbatore and Meerut. Thus, at present, there are totally twenty-one recognized stock
exchanges in India excluding the Over The Counter Exchange of India Limited (OTCEI)
and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSEIL).
The Table given below portrays the overall growth pattern of Indian stock markets since
independence. It is quite evident from the Table that Indian stock markets have not only
grown just in number of exchanges, but also in number of listed companies and in capital
of listed companies. The remarkable growth after 1985 can be clearly seen from the
Table, and this was due to the favoring government policies towards security market
industry.

Trading Pattern of the Indian Stock Market
Trading in Indian stock exchanges is limited to listed securities of public limited
companies. They are broadly divided into two categories, namely, specified securities
(forward list) and non-specified securities (cash list). Equity shares of dividend paying,
growth-oriented companies with a paid-up capital of at least Rs.50 million and a market
capitalization of at least Rs.100 million and having more than 20,000 shareholders are,
normally, put in the specified group and the balance in non-specified group.
Two types of transactions can be carried out on the Indian stock exchanges: (a) spot
delivery transactions "for delivery and payment within the time or on the date stipulated
7
7/29/2019 A Comparative Study Study of Internal and Front Charges Levied by Karvey. Geogit and Angle Brokeing
8/61
when entering into the contract which shall not be more than 14 days following the date
of the contract: and (b) forward transactions "delivery and payment can be extended by
further period of 14 days each so that the overall period does not exceed 90 days from the
date of the contract". The latter is permitted only in the case of specified shares. The
brokers who carry over the outstanding pay carry over charges (cantango or
backwardation) which are usually determined by the rates of interest prevailing.
A member broker in an Indian stock exchange can act as an agent, buy and sell securities
for his clients on a commission basis and also can act as a trader or dealer as a principal,
buy and sell securities on his own account and risk, in contrast with the practice
prevailing on New York and London Stock Exchanges, where a member can act as a
jobber or a broker only.
The nature of trading on Indian Stock Exchanges are that of age old conventional style of
face-to-face trading with bids and offers being made by open outcry. However, there is a
great amount of effort to modernize the Indian stock exchanges in the very recent times.
Over The Counter Exchange of India (OTCEI)
The traditional trading mechanism prevailed in the Indian stock markets gave way to
many functional inefficiencies, such as, absence of liquidity, lack of transparency, unduly
long settlement periods and benami transactions, which affected the small investors to a
great extent. To provide improved services to investors, the country's first ringless,
scripless, electronic stock exchange - OTCEI - was created in 1992 by country's premier
financial institutions - Unit Trust of India, Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation
of India, Industrial Development Bank of India, SBI Capital Markets, Industrial Finance
Corporation of India, General Insurance Corporation and its subsidiaries and CanBank
Financial Services.
Trading at OTCEI is done over the centres spread across the country. Securities traded on
the OTCEI are classified into:
8
7/29/2019 A Comparative Study Study of Internal and Front Charges Levied by Karvey. Geogit and Angle Brokeing
9/61
Listed Securities - The shares and debentures of the companies listed on the OTC
can be bought or sold at any OTC counter all over the country and they should not
be listed anywhere else
Permitted Securities - Certain shares and debentures listed on other exchanges and
units of mutual funds are allowed to be traded
Initiated debentures - Any equity holding at least one lakh debentures of a
particular scrip can offer them for trading on the OTC.
OTC has a unique feature of trading compared to other traditional exchanges. That is,certificates of listed securities and initiated debentures are not traded at OTC. The
original certificate will be safely with the custodian. But, a counter receipt is generated
out at the counter which substitutes the share certificate and is used for all transactions.
In the case of permitted securities, the system is similar to a traditional stock exchange.
The difference is that the delivery and payment procedure will be completed within 14
days.
Compared to the traditional Exchanges, OTC Exchange network has the following
advantages:
OTCEI has widely dispersed trading mechanism across the country which
provides greater liquidity and lesser risk of intermediary charges.
Greater transparency and accuracy of prices is obtained due to the screen-
based scripless trading.
Since the exact price of the transaction is shown on the computer screen, the
investor gets to know the exact price at which s/he is trading.
Faster settlement and transfer process compared to other exchanges.
In the case of an OTC issue (new issue), the allotment procedure is completed
in a month and trading commences after a month of the issue closure, whereas
9
7/29/2019 A Comparative Study Study of Internal and Front Charges Levied by Karvey. Geogit and Angle Brokeing
10/61
it takes a longer period for the same with respect to other exchanges. Thus,
with the superior trading mechanism coupled with information transparency
investors are gradually becoming aware of the manifold advantages of the
OTCEI.
National Stock Exchange (NSE)
With the liberalization of the Indian economy, it was found inevitable to lift the Indian
stock market trading system on par with the international standards. On the basis of the
recommendations of high powered Pherwani Committee, the National Stock Exchange
was incorporated in 1992 by Industrial Development Bank of India, Industrial Credit and
Investment Corporation of India, Industrial Finance Corporation of India, all Insurance
Corporations, selected commercial banks and others.
Trading at NSE can be classified under two broad categories:
(a) Wholesale debt market and
(b) Capital market.
Wholesale debt market operations are similar to money market operations - institutions
and corporate bodies enter into high value transactions in financial instruments such as
government securities, treasury bills, public sector unit bonds, commercial paper,
certificate of deposit, etc.
There are two kinds of players in NSE:
(a) Trading members and
(b) Participants.
Recognized members of NSE are called trading members who trade on behalf of
themselves and their clients. Participants include trading members and large players like
banks who take direct settlement responsibility.
10
7/29/2019 A Comparative Study Study of Internal and Front Charges Levied by Karvey. Geogit and Angle Brokeing
11/61
Trading at NSE takes place through a fully automated screen-based trading mechanism,
which adopts the principle of an order-driven market. Trading members can stay at their
offices and execute the trading, since they are linked through a communication network.
The prices at which the buyer and seller are willing to transact will appear on the screen.
When the prices match the transaction will be completed and a confirmation slip will be
printed at the office of the trading member.
NSE has several advantages over the traditional trading exchanges. They are as follows:
NSE brings an integrated stock market trading network across the nation.
Investors can trade at the same price from anywhere in the country since inter-
market operations are streamlined coupled with the countrywide access to the
securities.
Delays in communication, late payments and the malpractices prevailing in the
traditional trading mechanism can be done away with greater operational
efficiency and informational transparency in the stock market operations, with the
support of total computerized network.
Unless stock markets provide professionalised service, small investors and foreign
investors will not be interested in capital market operations. And capital market being one
of the major sources of long-term finance for industrial projects, India cannot afford to
damage the capital market path. In this regard NSE gains vital importance in the Indian
capital market system.
After adjustments for purchasing power parity, Indias economy is the
fourth largest in the world in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
An efficient securities market provides the necessary channel for flow
of resources from the providers of capital to the users of capital for
economic development. The overall growth of the economy and
economic activity are also important factors, which determine
11

12/61
availability of resources. The following table illustrates India's GDP
growth between 2004 and 2007.
Indian Financial Sector
The Indian financial services industry has experienced significant
growth in the last few years. There has been a Considerable
broadening and deepening of the Indian financial markets due to
various financial market reforms undertaken by the Indian regulators,
the introduction of innovative financial instruments in recent years and
the entry of sophisticated domestic and international financial services
participants. Sectors such as banking, asset management and
brokerage have been liberalised to allow private sector involvement,
which has contributed to the development and modernisation of the
financial services sector. This is particularly evident in the nonbanking
financial services sector, such as brokerage, residential mortgage and
insurance services, where new
products and expanding delivery channels have helped these sectors
to achieve high growth rates recently.
Financial services accounted for approximately 14% of total GDP in
fiscal 2007.
The combined average daily turnover of the BSE and the NSE for
different market segments has increased from approximately Rs. 4.8
billion in March 1996 to approximately Rs. 312.1 billion in March 2006.
Over thisperiod, there has also been a substantial growth in the market for
other financial products such as insurance, and mutual funds.

Regulatory Developments
AT The following are certain regulatory developments in the Indian
financial sector since India's economic reforms.
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Act, 1992
As part of the reforms process, the Capital Issues (Control) Act, 1947
was repealed in 1992 and replaced by the SEBI Act, 1992, paving the
way for market-determined allocation of resources. Under the SEBI Act,
1992, issuers complying with eligibility criteria are allowed the freedom
to issue securities market-determined rates. SEBI exercises control
over the market through the issuance of guidelines and rules for
various capital market activities and of regulations for intermediaries
and stock exchanges.
The SEBI Act established SEBI with the primary objective of protecting
the interests of investors in securities. SEBI requires critical data
regarding all relevant market participants to be disclosed on specified
forms. The Investor Education and Protection Fund was established for
the promotion of awareness among investors and
protection of investor interests. The Department of Economic Affairs,Department of Company Affairs, SEBI and the stock exchanges have
set up an investor grievance division for redressing investor
grievances. The exchanges also maintain investor protection funds to
satisfy certain investor claims.
Screen Based Trading
Trading on stock exchanges in India used to take place through an
open outcry system without use of information technology for
immediate matching or recording of trades. In order to provide
efficiency, liquidity and transparency, in 1996 the NSE and the BSE
introduced a nationwide, on-line and fully-automated screen based
13
7/29/2019 A Comparative Study Study of Internal and Front Charges Levied by Karvey. Geogit and Angle Brokeing
14/61
trading system. Introduction of these trading systems has been one of
the key developments in the Indian
capital market.
Trading Cycle
In the early 1990s, trades were accumulated over a trading cycle and
at the end of the cycle, trades were netted out and followed by
payment of cash and delivery of securities in order to settle the
balance. This trading cycle varied from 14 days for specified securities
to 30 days for others and settlement took another fortnight. In order
to reduce large open positions, the trading cycle was reduced to a
week. The stock exchanges, however, continued to have different
weekly trading cycles, which enabled shifting of positions from one
exchange to another. Rolling settlement on a T+5 basis was introduced
in 1996 and as a result, for specified scrips, the trading cycle was
reduced to one day. It was made mandatory for all stock exchanges to
follow a uniform weekly trading cycle in respect of scrips not under
rolling settlement. All scrips were moved to the rolling settlement in
December 2001. The settlement period has been reducedprogressively from T+5 to T+3 days to the current T+2 day settlement
cycle.
Derivatives Trading
To assist market participants in managing risks better than through
hedging and arbitrage, the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956
(SCRA) was amended in 1995 to lift the ban on options in securities.
The SCRA was amended further in December 1999 to expand the
definition of securities to include derivatives so that the whole
regulatory framework governing trading of securities could apply to
trading of derivatives as well.
14
7/29/2019 A Comparative Study Study of Internal and Front Charges Levied by Karvey. Geogit and Angle Brokeing
15/61
In the meantime exchanges developed infrastructure and the
information systems required to implement trading discipline in
derivative instruments. Derivative trading commenced in June 2000 on
the NSE and the BSE. The market presently offers index futures and
index options on three indices and stock options and stock futures on
individual stocks (presently 187 stocks on the NSE as of June 2007)
and futures in interest rate products like notional 91-day T-bills and
notional 10-year bonds.
Demutualisation (Segregation of ownership from management)
Historically, brokers owned, controlled and managed stock exchanges
in India. The Government proposed in March 2001 to corporatise the
stock exchanges and thereby segregate ownership, management and
trading membership. A few stock exchanges have already initiated the
demutualisation process. The Government has offered a variety of tax
incentives to facilitate corporatisation and demutualisation of stock
exchanges. The NSE has adopted a demutualised governance structure
where ownership, management and trading are separated to help
reduce conflicts of interest. The BSE also recently has completed
demutualisation.
Depositories Act
The settlement system on Indian stock exchanges gave rise to
settlement risk due to the lapse of time before trades were settled. The
historical process of physically moving securities among different
parties took time with the risk of delay along the chain. A significant
proportion of transactions ended up as bad deliveries due to non-
compliance with paperwork. This added to costs, restricted liquidity
and made investor grievance redressal time consuming and at times
intractable. To obviate these problems, the Depositories Act, 1996 was
passed. As of mid-June, 2007, more than 6,670 companies were
connected to NSDL and 5,660 to CDSL. All actively traded scrips are
15
7/29/2019 A Comparative Study Study of Internal and Front Charges Levied by Karvey. Geogit and Angle Brokeing
16/61
now held, traded and settled in uncertificated form. Uncertificated
settlement (known in India
as Dematerialised Settlement) accounts for over 99% of turnover
settled by delivery. This has substantially eliminated bad deliveries and
associated settlement problems. To prevent physical certificates from
coming into circulation, it has been made mandatory for all new public
offerings to be traded in uncertificated form. The admission to a
depository for holding securities in uncertificated form has been made
a prerequisite for making a public offering, rights issue or an offer for
sale.
Indian Capital Markets
There were 1,228 companies listed on the National Stock Exchange
and 4,821 companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange as of
March 31, 2007. In recent years, the capital markets have undergone
substantial reforms in regulation and supervision. Reforms, particularly
the establishment of SEBI, market-determined prices and allocation of
resources, screen-based nation-wide trading, T+2 settlement, scripless
settlement and electronic transfer of securities, rolling settlement and
derivatives trading have greatly improved both the regulatory
framework and efficiency of trading and settlement. There presently
are 22 recognized stock exchanges in India, as well as the over-the-
counter Exchange of India (OTCEI) for small and new companies and
the NSE, which
was set up as a model exchange to provide nationwide services to
investors. In 2003, the NCDEX and the MCX were set up for trading of
futures in various commodities.
16

Primary Equity Market
The primary segment of the capital markets in India has been
witnessing a surge in activity driven by the strong fundamentals of the
Indian economy, improved corporate results, a buoyant secondary
market, structural reforms by the Government and an investor-friendly
framework. and retail investors.
.
Secondary Equity Market
The Indian equity markets have been witnessing strong growth since
2003 with the benchmark BSE Sensex crossing the 14,500 mark in
February 2007 from 6,600 in January 2005 and 5,200 in September2005
The average daily turnover at the NSE and for different market
segments has increased from approximately Rs. 68 billion in 2001 to
approximately Rs. 382 billion in March 2007. Over this period, there
also has been a substantial growth in the market for other financial
products, such as insurance and mutual funds.
Equity Brokerage
The evolution of the Indian capital markets has stimulated rapid
consolidation due to increased trading volumes, increased regulation,
customer sophistication, better technology and increased back-office
requirements. As a result, significant changes have been introduced to
strengthen risk management systems. Changes in the
regulatory framework and settlement mechanics have resulted in the
smaller operating participants losing their market share, leading to a
consolidation in the industry.
The market share of the top five brokers on the NSE has increased
from 12% in Fiscal 2004 to approximately 15% in March 2007. The
market share of the top ten brokers on the NSE has grown from
17
7/29/2019 A Comparative Study Study of Internal and Front Charges Levied by Karvey. Geogit and Angle Brokeing
18/61
approximately 17% in Fiscal 2004 to 24% in March 2007, and the share
of the top 25 brokers on the NSE has grown from 30% in Fiscal 2004 to
43% in March 2007. These figures indicate a long-term consolidation
process in a highly fragmented securities brokerage industry, with
numerous smaller participants exiting the market and larger brokers
gaining market share. Market consolidation is even more pronounced
in the on-line trading category where the top five brokers control
almost the entire market. The rapid growth in on-line trading volumes
can be attributed to growing sophistication of retail investors,
availability of reliable Internet connectivity and sophistication of
Internet-based trading products. The following table illustrates the
trading volume on the NSE and the percentage traded by the top
brokers from 2003.
Internet Trading
At the end of March 2006, 142 members on the Capital Market
segment and 127 on the Futures and Options Segments were
permitted to allow investors web-based access to the NSEs trading
system. The members of the Exchange in turn had registered
1,443,291 clients for web-based access as of March 31, 2006. In the
NSE Capital Market segment in Fiscal 2006, approximately Rs. 183
billion, constituting 11.68% of total trading
volume, were routed and executed through the Internet. The following
table gives the growth of Internet trading.
Mutual Funds
As of March 31, 2007, there were 756 mutual funds in India with total
assets under management of Rs. 2,544 billion. From 1963 to 1987, Unit
18
7/29/2019 A Comparative Study Study of Internal and Front Charges Levied by Karvey. Geogit and Angle Brokeing
19/61
Trust of India was the only mutual fund operating in the country. It was
set up in 1963 at the initiative of the government and the RBI. From
1987, several other public sector mutual funds
entered this sector. These mutual funds were established by public
sector banks, the Life Insurance Corporation of India and the General
Insurance Corporation of India. The mutual funds industry was opened
up to the private sector in 1993. The industry is regulated by the SEBI
(Mutual Fund) Regulation, 1996.
The mutual fund industry has also experienced considerable activity
over last few years with total assets under management growing from
Rs. 1,396 billion as of March 31, 2004 to Rs. 3,263 billion as of March
31, 2007. In recent years, the industry has witnessed consolidation in
favour of private sector mutual funds whose assets under management
have grown from Rs. 1,049 billion as of March 31, 2004 to Rs. 2,567
billion as of March 31, 2007. Most of the funds that dominate the
sector are open-ended funds.
The mutual fund sector can broadly be divided based on the nature of
the schemes launched by the mutual funds. The fixed income asset
class, which comprises income, liquid, gilt and money market schemes,
comprises a major share of total funds under management. The other
two asset classes are equity and balanced schemes, which have
experienced significant growth recently on account of the robust stock
market.
Insurance Sector
The insurance market was opened to the private sector in 2001. Since
then, various foreign and Indian private sector participants have
targeted market potential by providing a range of customized
products. Major foreign insurance companies such as New York Life,

Interpretation:
All the broking houses offer almost all types of main products and services. They areproviding Portfolio Management Services and other value-added benefits along withtheir basic offerings so that to cater more and more customers. Other than banks likeICICI, HDFC etc., Reliance Money is the only broker which provides credit cards andgold coins to the customers. It is also a distribution house where you can find products orservices of various companies. Its concept is simple, All under one roof. Now, it isgoing to offer commodities also as one of its products as there is enough potential in the
same.
In todays scenario, each and every major broking house is trying to include almost allthe products in its umbrella so that their customers have not to go at different places fortheir different financial needs.

Interpretation
The charges for account opening and AMC are different at different broking houses butthose who are keeping these very low or nil, are collecting the same in form of brokerage.Except reliance, all are charging brokerage on volume, which varies from 03 to 10 paisa(intra-day) and 30 to 70 paisa (delivery). But, the brokerage structure is flexible at mostof the places. Reliance money is charging only 01 paisa per trade (online), regardless ofvolume which is very beneficial for big clients. It has introduced Voucher system forbrokerage on account of its aggressive launching. ICICI Direct is very costly in terms ofbrokerage yet it is at no. 1 position among online brokers. The reason behind this is itsdedicated customer service.
In todays scenario, all the broking houses are trying to associate with major banksfor therequirement of demat account. This benefits to both, the banks as well as the brokers. Thebanks are getting new products to offer and the brokers are getting hugecustomer baseofbanks. The popular banks in this category are ICICI, HDFC, Axis, Sbi etc. The brokinghouses like ICICI Direct, Kotak Secu. and HDFC Secu. are in association with singlebank only i.e. ICICI Bank, Kotak Bank and HDFC Bank respectively, because of same
group.

Interpretation
Any benefits or discounts in case of high volume traders
In todays scenario, it is very necessary to provide additional benefits or special discountsto high volume traders or HNIs because it is very important to retain the same as they arethe source of big revenues.
BTST/ ATST facility
BTST or ATST stands for Buy Today, Sell Tomorrow or Acquire Today, Sell Tomorrow.This facility has started few months back as an additional product to attract customers. Inthis, one can buy shares during the trading hours and then sell the same next morningwhen market gets open.
Delivery cash based or credit facility provided
Most of the brokers provide the facility of credit to its customers for few days and lateron interest but this generates an additional head-ache of collecting payment. Now, thetrend has somewhat changed as players like ICICI and Reliance are providing completely
cash-based trading. Sebi is also in favour of the same as there is always a risk ofdefaulters in case of credit-based trading.
Provision of off market trading
Almost all the brokers are providing this type of facility for the people who wants to fillmore than one IPO application, legally. So again, this is an additional benefit given toattract the customers.
58
7/29/2019 A Comparative Study Study of Internal and Front Charges Levied by Karvey. Geogit and Angle Brokeing
59/61
Provision of loans for IPO trading
This is again a service for customers who want to invest in IPOs but are not having theenough capital. So, the brokers are providing the facility of loan for the same. But very
few are considering it as a risk in this Bearish scenario.
Limitations
As we all know, security market is highly volatile. We may predict about it more
accurate but due to uncertain driving forces the predictions may not work.
The market risks and uncertainties are always there.
Long term future of any market has impact of govt. policies and decisions.
Indian economy is highly dependent on monsoon, so despite of all the
precautions, projected growth rate cant be maintained.
FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS
From the one and half month experience of my research project with RELIANCE
MONEY LIMITED. I have come to know a lot of things and it has enhanced my
knowledge to a great extent. But from my point of view I found some things which are
really needed to be taken into consideration. Some of recommendations and suggestions
given by me are purely based on my study at the Reliance Money Limited. It doesnt
have any kind of bias on my side. They are given as under:
59
7/29/2019 A Comparative Study Study of Internal and Front Charges Levied by Karvey. Geogit and Angle Brokeing
60/61
The things I would like to comment on especially are the very low advertising and
marketing initiatives by Reliance Money Limited.
The some customers who are current working with Reliance Money Limited now and
then complain about the services provided by the branch.
The things such as the company not give you credit for purchasing a share
therefore some of the customer not happy with this services.
The other thing that if and only if you deposit some amount then and then only you
will be allowed to trade. So the customers who play very high jacks on intraday basis
sometimes would not recommend this.
And the thing that it is compulsory original pan card copy to open a Demat Account
and the Trading account with Reliance Money Limited. Without you can not open
any one of them.
CONCLUSION
The research conducted by me is summarized as under:
From the research, it could be concluded that Reliance Money Limited in all ways as
compared with the other stock broking houses has a good scope in the Ahmedabad city.
But since it has just finished 1 years of inception in Ahmedabad, it has gained much
popularity in comparison of Angel, India bulls, Indiainfoline, Religare etc.
60
7/29/2019 A Comparative Study Study of Internal and Front Charges Levied by Karvey. Geogit and Angle Brokeing
61/61
Reliance Money Limited in always is good, just that it needs to provide more and better
services and fast services to the customers.
In Ahmedabad city the name Reliance Money Limited needs to be emphasized on, while
marketing & selling the product. The market is 100% fully aware that what Reliance
Money Limited.
It could come up with products which cater to all segments of the society after a little cost
cutting, than fixing up a standard service for all its customers, whose needs vary
diversely.
