EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Stock exchange is an organized market place where securities are traded.


The Government, semi- Government bodies, public sector undertakings
and companies for borrowing funds raising resources issue these
securities. Securities are defined as any monetary claims and include
stock, shares, debentures, bonds etc. Under the securities Contract
Regulation Act 1956, the Central Government regulates securities trading
and such trading can take place only in stock exchanges recognized by
Government under this Act. As referred to earlier there are at present 23
such recognized stock exchanges in India. Of these, major stock
Exchanges, like Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai, Hyderabad,
Bangalore etc.

A project entitled “A Study on Online Trading of Shares.” deals with


the priorities of the investors in investing their resources.

The study considers the preferences of the investors in Bangalore, taking


into consideration their age group, income earning capacity and their
educational qualification. The data for the study was collected using a
structured questionnaire.

The main limitation of the study is that, the survey was conducted on
investors only in Bangalore, due to lack of time.

CHAPTER - I

INTRODUCTION

E-business describes the use of electronic means and platforms to


conduct business. By this means the company has reduced all kinds of the
paper work and all information are flowing through the computer screen
only.

E-commerce is more specific than e-business. It means that in addition to


provide information to visitors about the company, its history, policies,
and job opportunities the company or the site offer to transact or facilitate
the selling of the products and services online. E-commerce has given
rise in turn to e-purchasing and e-marketing. E-purchasing means
companies decide to purchase the goods and information or services from
various online suppliers. Smart e-purchasing has already saved
company’s million of rupees.

E marketing describes company’s effort to inform, communicate,


promote and sell its products and services over the Internet. E-business
and e-commerce take place over four Internet domains

• B 2 B – business to business:
Online business selling to other businesses. Example
eSteel.com is a steel industry exchange that creates an
electronic market for steel producers and users.
At first B2B e-commerce primarily involved inter-business
exchanges, but a number of other B2B business models have
developed, including e-distributors, B2B service provider’s
matchmakers, and infomediaries that are widening the use of
B2B e-commerce.

Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. -9-


“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.

• B 2 C – business to consumer:
Online business selling to individual consumers.
Example amazon.com is a general merchandiser that sells
consumer products to retail consumer. Grown exponentially
since 1995, and is the type of e-commerce that most
consumers are likely to encounter.

• C 2 C – consumer to consumer e-commerce:


Consumer selling to other consumers. Example
eBay.com creates a market space where consumers can
auction or sell goods directly to other consumers.
• P 2 P Peer-to-Peer e-commerce:
E-commerce provides a way for consumers to sell to each
other, with the help of an online market such as auction site
eBay.

Use of peer-to-peer technology, which enables internet


users to share files and computer resources directly without
having to go through a central web server, in e-commerce.
Examples Gnutella is a soft ware application that permits
consumers to share music with one another directly, without
intervention of a market maker as in C2C e-commerce.

Definition of Online Trading on the web:


As per the web the sale of goods or services over the
Internet. Customers must enter and submit their credit card
details online; the sale will often proceed without the retailer
and customer ever having personal contact.

Sources of the online marketing:

In the online marketing the most important is to know the


customer, and in order to know the customers the company must collect
information and store it in the customer’s database and do the database
marketing. A customer database is the organized collection of
comprehensive information about individual customers or prospects that
are current, accessible and actionable for such marketing purpose as lead
generation led qualification.

Database marketing is the process of building, maintain and using


customer’s databases and other databases for the purpose of contacting,
transacting, and building relationship.

Customer mailing list is totally different from customer database.


A customer mailing list is simply a set of names, address and telephone
numbers. A customer database contains much more information.
Companies accumulate this information through customer transactions,
registrations, and telephone queries. A customer database would ideally,
contain the customer past purchase, demographic, psychographics and
other useful information.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Online community is defined as a gathering of individuals in a


computer mediated environment who are united by a common purpose
and governed by self-determined policies.

Online community has five characteristics they are Purpose, Boundary,


Mutuality Rules, and Self-organization.

Why do people join online trading?

Internet has changed the pace of all activities in all over the world.
The share trading has also been affected with the winds of the changes.
Now the complicated procedure of share trading in share market has
become very easy because of the usage of the Internet in this type of
trading. The customers are getting the trading accounts through which
they can trade in the market. And for paying the money also they have no
need to go any where, the money will be debited or credited to
customer’s account automatically. So in the online trading the customers
can by sitting in the home only, trade in the share market.

Online trading will probably be one of the biggest drivers of


penetration as well as successes on the net. Even in India, however far
fetched the idea might be seen, right now. The reasons for this are

 A lot more than shares will be traded on the net.

 The savings on customer’s brokerage expenses on online trading


will be one of the most satisfying wages to gate.

 The transparency, anonymity and certainty it offers are surefire


ways to enhance loyalty.

Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. - 16 -


“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.

to understand for common people.

Why online share trading?


 Safety

 Easy

 Economic

 Independence

 Updated and latest price

 Two way access

Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. - 17 -


“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.

 Competitive brokerage

Internet safety:

The safety of transaction on the Internet depends on the encryption


system used. The better this transaction system, the more difficult for any
person to back the site.
Secondly, customers can too ensure the safety of the transaction
online. They normally gets a secured user ID and pass word, the secrecy
of which is to be maintained by customers only.
Thirdly, if the transaction system requires no manual intervention,
customers further improve the safety of the transactions. This enables the
elimination of the possibility of any manual intervention. This means
orders are directly send to the exchanges, ensuring that the customers get
the best right price.

Security of money:

In systems where the broking, banking and demat accounting are


completely integrated, customer’s money remain in his own bank
account, and does not get transferred to the broker’s pool.

Easy:
The experience of trading through Internet depends a great deal on
the type of product offered by the site. Say, for example one of the issues
bothering customers may be tiered of the paper work after every trading
in writing cheques or TIFDs. Customer would then seek a system that
eliminates these processes. In online trading sites, the greater the back-
end integration of the system, the greater the amount of work do the site

Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. - 18 -


“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.

for the customers. Therefore, the greater convenience is available for


them.
For example, in case of ICICIDirect.com broking account, bank
account, and demat account are linked electronically. So when customers
punch in a buy or sell order, the system checks the funds/shares
availability and automatically credits/debits the accounts once the order
been executed by the exchange.

Economical:

Contrary to common perception, trading through Internet does not


require either any expertise in working on computer, or any special
financial skills. Customers could try the demo (demonstration) of the
online trading sites like ICICIDirect.com to find that customers can, with
little or no knowledge about the Internet or finance, have switched on to
online trading. Or they can attend the demonstration sessions held by
such websites in their city. The convenience provided by online trading is
even then worth the cost involved. And online trading sites are not that
costly. For example, a trader can trade shares on margin at rate as low as
0.10% on ICICIDirect.com and if one wishes to trade in cash, then rates
applicable as low as 0.4%. However it is important to compare various
online trading sites on brokerage rates, inclusive of all sub changes.

Independence:

Many of those customers, who have chosen to trade shares online


today, had at one point of time been trading through offline brokers. They
took a change to go online trading and trade shares. After realizing the

Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. - 19 -


“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.

advantages of trading shares online, they have shifted to online trading


now. In fact there are more than one lakh customers already opened an
account with ICICIDirect.com.

Updated Prices:

The tickers available at online trading sites provide instantaneous


updates. Also, some websites con offer to transact in those shares
instantaneously and with convenience. The solution to this problem could
be provided in different ways in different online trading sites.
At ICICIDirect.com, for any trade order, customer is asked to click
“Proceed” after he has the opportunity to completely check the order
verification form.
Moreover the customers have the option to modify or canceling the
order till the moment the order is executed at the exchange.
Finally the online trade confirmation reaches customer’s within 4
minutes. While contract notes are dispatched at the end of the day and
reach within 24 to 36 hours, with ICICIDirect.com customer can decide
what they want to buy and buy the share at price they want to and
therefore they are in total control of their trade.

Two Way Access:

Brokers too gain. In physical setup, they generally refrain from


taking and retain clients, as the cost of service as percentage of the
volume of their transactions tends to be at higher side. With a Net trading
platform, however, the number of profile of clients has little bearing a
broker’s operational efficiency.

Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. - 20 -


“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.

Competitive Brokerage:

Net trading has turned out to be a cost effective proposition.


Brokerage is similar to that under the physical setup – 0.25% to 0.35% up
to the transaction value for delivery-based trades and 0.05% to 0.15% for
speculative trades. The only additional cost for investors opting for the
Net trading route is that of the computer, modem and Internet connection.

Other Services:

Internet has brought to retail investors, what was till some times
ago the sole prerogative of large brokerage houses, high net worth
individuals. For example, at ICICIDirect.com one can access multitude of
resources to arrive his stock picks.
Reliable research with an enviable track record is available for
customers. An investor can now access ICICIDirect.com and do his
technical analysis to know what other leading brokers think about a
company, whether it is a buy or a sell.
An investor can access live news from international news agencies
such as Rulers, CNBC, read abut what the leading CEOs think about the
state of economy and capital market.

Sampling Design:
Sampling methods or technique may be classified into two generic
types.

a. Probability or random sampling and

b. Non-probability of non-random sampling

Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. - 25 -


“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.

a. Probability or random sampling:

It is based on theory of probability. It provides known zero change


for selection of each population element. Under this sampling design
every item of the universe has an equal chance of inclusion in the sample.
It is so to say a lottery method in which individual units are picked up
from the whole group, not deliberately but by some mechanical process.

b. Non-probability or non-random sampling

It is not based on the theory of probability. This simply does not


provide change of selection of each population element. The only
merits of this type of sampling are simplicity convenience and low
cost.

Non-probability sampling is classified into.

1) Convenience or accidental sampling

2) Judgment sampling

Sample Unit:

In this study the respondents are from whole Bangalore City.

Sample Size:

Sample size has taken 50 respondents.

Sampling Procedure:

In this study non-probability sampling and particularly the


Convenience sampling has been used.

“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.

Conceptual Definition Of The Study:

Shares:

Share is a share in the Share Capital of the Company. Shares are


the tools, which are giving the ownership rights to its holders.

Bonus shares:

Bonus shares are shares issued by a company out of its accumulated


profits to the existing equity shareholders either as fully paid shares or as
partly paid shares free of cost.

Demat:
Demat is the abbreviation for the dematerialization. In this the
shares are kept in the electronic form. In other words Demat means
dematerialization it means from physically form converted into
electronically form.
Demat shares introduced in 1998 earlier days is transaction only
physically like bonds.

Remat:
Remat is the abbreviation for rematerialization. In this electronic
shares are transferred in to the physical form.

Cash Trading:
This is delivery based trading system. This is generally done with
the intention of taking delivery of shares on monies.

Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. - 27 -


“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.

Margin Trading:
Customers can also do an intra-trading up o four times their
available funds. Where in they take in long buy/short sell position in
stokes with the intension of squaring of the position within the same
settlement cycle.

Spot Trading:
When customers are looking at an immediate liquidity option,
‘cash on spot’ may work best for them. On selling shares through ‘cash
on spot’, money is credited to their bank account the same evening and
not on the exchange payout date.

T + 2 settlements:
T (Trading day) + 2 settlement means the settlement of transaction
will be taken place after 3 days from day of transaction. Government of
India under SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of India) controls it.

BTST:
Buy Today Sell Tomorrow (BTST) is a facility that allows
customers to sell shares even on day after the buy order date. Without
this, they have to wait for the receipt of shares into their demat account.

CallNTrade:
CallNTrade allows customers to call on a local number in their city
and trade on the Telephone through customer Service Executives.

Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. - 28 -


“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.

Call in Advance:
The amount received from the shareholders before a call is made is
known as calls paid in advance or calls in advance.

Calls in Arrears:
When a call is not paid by the members within the date specified in
the call notice, the amount of call unpaid on the shares is called calls in
arrears.

Surrender of shares:
Surrender of shares means the return (i.e. giving back) of shares by
a shareholder to the company voluntarily for cancellation. It is a shortcut
to the long and cumbersome procedure of forfeiture of shares.

Market Order:
Customers can trade by placing market orders during market hours
that allow them to trade at the best obtainable price in the market at the
time of execution of the order.

Limit Order:
This allows customer to place a buy/sell order at a price defined by
them. The execution can happen at a price more favorable than the price,
which is defined by them. They can place limit orders during holidays
and non-marketing hours too.

CHAPTER - III

PROFILE OF NSE/BSE

History Of Online Trading in India:

In the mid-nineties screen based trading changed the face of


transactions on Indian business. Net came as a helping hand, which
also enhanced the comfort factor of the investors. Now, it is Internet
based trading. Buying and selling shares via Net that is promising to
take the investing experiences to another plane.

BSE and NSE are the two leading stock exchanges in India. BSE
was established in 1875 and is the oldest in Asia. The NSE was
established as a corporate body in 1993, with the primary objectives of
ensuring nation wide electronic trading, high level of transparency and
faster settlement circle.

The NSE has been playing a catalytic role and has significantly
contributed to the reforming of the secondary market in India in terms
of micro-structure; market practices, trading volumes and use of state
of the art technology. The use of satellite communication technology
for trading, using Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSATs), enabled
NSE to rapidly expand across the length and breadth of the country.
Subsequently, after the BSE was granted the required site permissions,
it expanded its trading facilities to the remote corners of the land.

Technology in NSE and BSE:

NSE:
TATA Consultancy Services, a division of Tata Sons Ltd. was
selected as the prime contractor and system integrator by the NSE to
provide a total turnkey solution for the money markets and capital
markets floor less trading system.
The aim was to enable NSE to provide nation wide electronic
trading with highest transparency in the market place. Using the client
server architecture, fault-to-learn computing and in-memory database,
Tata Consultancy Services, solution gave NSE high visibility and impact.
For the year 2006-07, the National Security Clearing and
Settlement System (NSCS) processed settlements for over 172 million
trades with a turnover of around Rs 5, 08,121 crores. In the year 2006-07
nearly 2 million contracts were traded on NSE Future and Option system,
with a national turnover of Rs. 1, 01,925 crores. Here approximately 818
companies listed in NSE.

and Future trading. Hence, while dealing with securities an investor can
negotiate with the price listed in the NSE index.

The stock Exchange Mumbai, popularly known as the Bombay
stock Exchange limited is the oldest stock exchange in Asia with a rich
heritage. It was established as “The Native Shares & Stock Brokers
Association” in July 1875 with 22 share brokers. It is the first stock

BOLT, i.e. BSE’s online trading system is designed and developed


by CMC Ltd., now a Tata Group company. This screen based trading
system manual entry method of trading in the ring, and went line on
March 1995. This enabled BSE to provide floor-less and fully automated
screen based trading facilities in capital market instruments, with equal
access to investors all over the country.
BSE has only the option for trading of securities in Cash Trading.
Hence, while dealing with securities an investor can not negotiate with
the price listed in the BSE index.
Approximately 5639 companies listed in BSE & around 9400
brokers are trading in BSE & NSE along with 29 foreign brokers
participating in Online Trading.

One big advantage of web trading is that, market lot ceases to


matter. A registered user, just need to log in the corresponding site and
place order confirmation, which may be followed by physical slip.

With Net trading it make little different, where the investor is,; e-
broker gives him real time quotes and a chance to react immediately.

Still to catch on:


Online trading has not yet been taken off for various reasons:
I. The concept is very new.
II. Security concerns (Hacking and Connectivity)
III. Potential investors in India are yet to trust their e-brokers.

Hacking is a problem even with e-banking or e-commerce, and


potential users may well fear to live with this. Connectivity is another
major problem. Right in the middle of hectic trading one may go offline,
or the web may jam during heavy trading.

The investor will be able to execute the entire trading transaction,
right from logging on to the broker’s site to the execution and
settlement of his bank account, in very short period of time.

to information that earlier was available only to the big traders.

investor, as in this case no short sale is possible I.e. the seller will not
be able to sell the securities unless he has their actual possession.

you, you should be aware of or must get acquainted with the

 Risk of lower liquidity:


Liquidity refers to the ability of market participants to buy and
/or sell securities / contracts expeditiously at a competitive price and
with minimal price difference. Generally, it is assumed that more the
numbers of orders available in a market, greater are the liquidity.

 Risk of wider spreads:


Spreads refer to the difference in best buy and best sell price. it
represents the differential between the piece of buying a security and
immediately selling it or vice versa.

 Risk reducing orders:


Most exchanges have a facility for investors to place “limit
orders”, “stop loss orders”, etc.
• A “market” order will be executed promptly, subject
to availability of orders on opposite side.
• A “limit” order will be executed only at the “limit”
price specified for the order or a better price.
• A stop loss order is generally placed “away” from
the current price of stock/contract, and such order gets
activated if and when the stock/ contract reaches, or trades
through, the stop price.

 Risk of News Announcements:


Issuers make news announcements that may impact
the price of the securities/ contract.

“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.

INTERPRETATION

Analysis of chart pattern of sensitive indexes is concerned with


“Technical Analysis”. Since the technical analysis deals with the supply
and demand of securities as reflected in the behavior of the market, the
investors go for it. They are more concerned about the demand and
supply position of securities, as they influence the price of the securities.
Online traders thus do not distinguish between current income and capital
gains.

ANALYSIS
The 21 % investors has preferred to analyze “Economic Growth” at
first as the “Most Important” factor followed by, 18 % called “Inflation”
as the “Very Important” factor, 16 % called “Interest Rates” as
“Important” factor, 20 % called “International in Capital Market” and
”Tax Rates” as the “Un Important” factor, and 29 % called “Foreign
Exchange Reserve” as the “Not at all Important” factor, before
investing in Online Trading of any Security. This can be clearly
understood by the following graphs.

INTERPRETATION

The Stock market does not operate in vacuum. It is an integrated


part of the whole economy of the country. The growth rate of the

Economy increases the participation in the “Online Trading of


Securities”. As inflation erodes the purchasing power of the investors,
they prefer to have a close watch on inflation rates before investing. A
low rate of interest is preferred by investors, since when cost of money is
high one cannot compete effectively.

The effect of monsoon is seemed to be less on the online traders. And the
foreign exchange reserve gets the lowest concern from investors, since
our country has enough of it, i.e., second highest in the world.

ANALYSIS
Among the risks, 27.5 % investors ranked “Financial Risk” the
first, followed by 30 % ranked “Business Risk” as the second, 28. %
ranked “Purchasing Power Risk” as third, 32. % Ranked “Interest-rate
Risk” as fourth, 30 % ranked “Default/Insolvency Risk” as fifth, and
remaining 17.5 % ranked “Market Risk” as they prefer to cover for their
investments.

INTERPRETATION

The investors want to withdraw their funds as and when required


by them, to make specific payments at specific time periods. They thus
like to have a close watch on the debt financing of the firm they want to
invest. They don not want to invest on those firms which have uncertain
income sources. The purchasing power of the income from a given
investment is also having a great importance on their decision of
investment on a given firm. Uncertainty of future income due to
fluctuation in general level of interest-rate also concerns the investors.

ANALYSIS

Before investing in a given company, 23 online traders out of 50,


rank “Promoters” as the “Most Important” factor, followed by 23 online
traders who think “Management” of the company is “Very Important”
factor to analyze. Out of 50 investors 21 take “Product Range” of the
company as “Important” factor to analyze, and 10 think, as “Marketing”
is a “Un- Important” factor. None of the traders selected any of the above
factors as “Not At All Important” factor.

INTERPRETATION

The investors are well aware of any company before investing in it.
They know who are the promoters, the efficiency of the management of
the company, the types of technology it is adopting, its product range, its
marketing policies and practices, etc. Online traders give much
importance to the promoters of the company before investing into it. As it
can be seen in above table. Management of the company is also
considered as a very vital factor; as people like to invest in a company
with an efficient management. A company with a number of products in
its hand is also considered as a good one to invest in.

People less often go for evaluating the marketing strategies of the


company before investing into it, as well satisfied with other factors like
“Management”, “Promoters”, “Product Range” etc., they find it
unnecessary.

ANALYSIS
Among 50 respondents, 48 %age of online trader prefer “Absolute
Monopoly”, followed by 34 % of them preferring “Perfect
Competition” and remaining 18 %age go for “Imperfect Competition”.

dominant by nature. As these companies dominate the market because of
their core competence like technology or patent rights etc. thus allowing
the investors to milk their investment. 35 % investors, who prefer to
invest in an industry where no single company is dominating, follow
them, thus they go for moderate risk involved investments with limited
growth of their money.

Still a percentage of investors, that is, 18 % of them, like to invest in


an industry with “Imperfect Competition”, since it lies between
“Absolute Monopoly” and “Perfect Competition”, thus enjoying benefits
of both the form of markets.

1. The investors should make more investments in “Online Trading of

return from their portfolio.

2. The female investors are less interested in investments so they have


to be encouraged.

3. In the age group of above 55 years are invested very low they have
encourage to invest in online trading shares. Because the age group
includes retired employees.

4. In the shares market retired employee and professionals and

students is less knowledge about share trading they have help to


increases the knowledge about online trading of shares.

5. While constructing the portfolio, the investors should stress more

on capital appreciation, as mere growth of capital without the


growth of purchasing power nullify the growth of capital.

6. Online traders should also take into account the “Monsoon and
Agricultural” factor before investing. Still large part of the earning
of our country come from the agriculture and it ultimately depends
on monsoon. So the economic condition of our country is lot more
dependent on this factor.

7. People should analyze the marketing strategy of a company, before


investing into it. The marketing function brings the revenue and
ultimately profit to the company and its owners.

C) CONCLUSION:

The investors of “Online Trading of Shares” are very sensitive to


the return on their investment. They use to have a close watch on the debt
financing, the promoters, the product range and the management of the
company, where they want to invest. As a part of their “Economic
Analysis”, they prefer to consider inflation and interest rates of the
economy. While selecting a given industry to invest, these investors like
to invest an industry, which is growing, or at its maturing stage.

The preferred market structure of investors to invest is one, which


is dominated by a single company. Online traders analyze the BSE/NSE
sensitive indexes to know the demand and supply situation of shares in
the market. The fast moving prices of the securities and the updated
information helps the online traders to take quick and effective decision
at right time. Online traders do not like to hold their assets for a long
time. Preferably, they dispatch them within six month.

In the century of Electronic Media, the Printed Media is still a


reliable and favorite source of information for online traders. Their
favorite source of information is news papers followed by e-brokers.

The people who have not invested in share market earlier usually
not show interest in “Online Trading of Shares”. They are interested in
the traditional instruments of investments like insurance, Infrastructures,
IT etc. These investors need to make aware of “Online Trading of
Shares”, and educate them to make investments in this instrument. The
proper mix of moderate risks and high returns are attracting the investors
to Online Trading of Shares.
