INDIAN BROKERAGE INDUSTRY

The Indian broking industry is one of the oldest trading industries that have been around even before the establishment of the BSE in 1875. Despite passing through a number of changes in the post liberalization period, the industry has found its way towards sustainable growth.

Share trading in India is undergoing a transition and consolidation phase witnessed never before. The competition is likely to become so severe after the entry of many players, retaining a customer is most di cult practice for any service provider.

Though India has a very big untapped market but the players will not ourish unless they change the way the customers are being served. Given the awareness level of today customers every player has to treat with care and make the customer feel that he is the king. Number of Online Share trader in India has crossed the line. More and more customers are coming under this umbrella and many of the

existing one are changing pavilion. So customer retention and satisfaction is now more important as it was never before. Players keep coming with new schemes in order to attract new customers and retain the existing one. This is being supplemented with increased advertising and brand building e orts. Success of any organization depends upon its being proactive. An often quoted marketing adage is to manage a business well is to manage its future and to manage its future is to manage information.

The securities market has essentially three categories of participants, viz., the issuer of securities, the investors in the securities and the intermediaries. The issuers are the borrowers or decit savers, who issue securities to raise funds. The investors, who are surplus savers, deploy their savings by subscribing to these securities. The intermediaries are the agents who match the needs of users and suppliers of funds for a commission. These intermediaries function to help both the issuers and investors to achieve their respective goals. There are large variety and number of intermediaries providing various services in the Indian securities market. Need for a broker

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 recognised Stock Exchange or through a SEBIregistered sub-broker. The nancials and investment industry is a highly competitive in nature with almost well established rms diversifying and entering into this industry. As of today there are Over 2000 brokers, 10000 sub brokers and 1 crore investors. It is highly Competitive with entry of new aggressive players.

INDUSTRY DETAILS       Indian Capital Market Indian Financial System Capital Market Intermediaries Capital Market Process Overview of NSDL Overview of CDSL

Indian Capital Market The function of the financial market is to facilitate the transfer of funds from surplus sectors (lenders) to deficit sectors (borrowers). Normally, households have excess of funds or savings, which they lend to borrowers in the corporate and public sectors whose requirement of funds far exceeds their savings. A financial market consists of investors or buyers, sellers, dealers and does not refer to a physical location. It means that it is not requirement of existence of any physical place in the market. We can say any condition that it is market when any purchaser and seller come into existence.

And in case of capital market we can say any condition a market when there is an existence of investors and borrowers of the fund. Formal trading rules and communication networks for originating and trading financial securities link the participants in the market.

Despite rapid expansion of the organized money market through a large network of banking institutions that have extended their reach even to the rural areas, there is still an active unorganized market. It consists of indigenous bankers and moneylenders. In the unorganized market, there is no clear demarcation between short-term and long-term finance and even between the purposes of finance. The unorganized sector continues to provide finance for trade as well as personal consumption. The inabilities of poor to meet them take recourse to the institutions that still remain outside the regulatory framework of banking. But this market is shrinking.

The capital market provides the framework in which savings and investment take place. On the one hand it enables companies to raise resources from the investors and on the other; it facilitates households to invest their savings in industrial or commercial activities. Those saving instrument that can be bought or sold freely are called securities. These include a range of products debt and equity that can be traded. The market where such trades place is called the securities market where such trades take place is called the securities market and comprises the various exchanges, intermediaries and its regulatory institutions.
12

The capital market consists of primary and secondary segments. The primary market deals with the issue of new instruments by the corporate sector such as equity shares, preference shares and debentures. The public sector consisting of Central and State Government, various public sector industrial units, statutory and other authorities such as state electricity boards and port trusts also issue bonds. The primary market in which public issue of securities is made through a prospectus is a retail market and there is no physical location. Direct mailing, advertisements and brokers reach the investors. Screen based trading eliminates the need for the trading floor.

The secondary market or stock exchange where existing securities are traded is an auction arena. It may have a physical location like a stock, exchange or a trading floor. Since 1995 the trading in securities is screen based training eliminates need for a trading floor. And since the last year Internet-based trading has also made an appearance in India.

The secondary market consists of 23 stock exchanges including the National Stock Exchange and the over the counter Exchange of India and Inter Connected Stock
13

Exchange of India Ltd. The secondary market provides a trading place for the securities already issued to be bought and sold. It all provides liquidity to the initial buyers in the primary market to re-offer the securities to any interested buyer at any price, if mutually accepted. An active secondary market and capital formation because investors in the primary market are assured of a continuous market and they can liquidate their investments in the stock exchange.

There are several major players in the primary market. These include the merchant bankers, mutual funds, and financial institutions, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and individual investors. R & T (Registrar and Transfer) agents, custodians and Depositories are capital market intermediaries that provide important infrastructure services for both primary and secondary markets.

It is important to ensure a smooth working of this market, as it is the arena where the players in the economic growth of a country interact. Various laws have been passed from time to time to meet this objective. The financial market is India was highly segmented until the initiation of reforms in 1992-93 on account of a variety of regulations and administered prices including barriers to entry. The reform

CAPITAL MARKET PROCESS

1)IPO

2)Private Placement

3)Right Issue

4)Stock Trading

5)Internet Broking

1) Initial Public Offering (IPO) market. This kind of tapping the savings for the first time is called IPO (Initial Public Offer) and raise the fund from the market for the second time by any existing company is known as FPO (Forward Public Offer) . SEBI guidelines regulate various procedures involved in making a public issue but price of shares,

20

size of the issue, timing of the issue, listing of the issue is decided by the issuer. Issuers have to disclose all relevant facts and information in the prospectus. Prospectus also has to disclose risk factors and management perception about those risks. Large initial public offers are made through book building route. Under this route, market determines the price of issue by offering bids. Companies Act was

necessarily amended directing that all public issues above Rs. 10 crores have to be necessarily in Demat form. Investor can receive shares in a public issue by writing DP-Id and Client-Id in the share application form. 2) Private Placement Methods of raising funds directly from investors without issue of prospectus to the public are known as private placement. SEBI has prescribed the eligibility criteria for companies and instruments as well as procedures for private placement. Privately placed securities can also be listed if such placements fulfill all listing criteria

21

3) Preferential Offer/Rights Issue Companies can expand their capital by offering the new shares to their existing shareholders. Such offers for sale can be made to the existing shareholders by giving them a preferential treatment in allocation or the offer can be on a rights basis i.e. the existing holders can get by way of their right, allotment of new shares in certain proportion to their earlier holding. If the shares are offered to a few of the existing shareholders instead to all shareholders or at a price different from the price at which they are issue to all, such issues are called preferential allotments. Preferential allotments require shareholders approval in the general body meeting. Further, all such offers have also to be in compliance with criteria laid down by SEBI. 4) Stock Trading An investor in securities needs assurance that they can convert their security holdings to cash to meet their cash requirements. The ability to convert value of securities into cash as and when anybody want is called liquidity. The liquidity is provided by the stock exchange. Stock exchange is a platform where buyers and sellers of securities will match their bids and offers for securities and exchange

22

securities with cash. The offers and bids are routed through members of the stock exchange, popularly known as a broker. Stock exchange regulates the

transactions of the broker and ensures that the transactions are conducted fairly and transparently with justice to both buyers and sellers. 5) Internet broking With the Internet becoming ubiquitous, many institutions have set up securities trading agencies that provide online trading facilities to their clients from their homes. This has been possible since all the players in the securities market, viz. stockbrokers, stock exchanges, clearing corporations, depositories, DPs etc are linked electronically. Thus information flows amongst them on a real time basis.
