Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization which poses a challenge

in the field of communication and manner of doing business as most of
the information / data is available online just whit a click of a button
resulting in reduced response time. The business is facing competition
not only from the national players but also from those in the outside
world. To be a world class organization is no longer a pious wish or a
matter of pride but it is a prerequisite for the surviva have increased
as never before. It is imperative for an organization to offer quality
goods and services at a competitive price at the time and place as per
the customer’s requirement.

HISTORY OF STOCK EXCHANGE
The only stock exchanges operating in the 19th century were those of
Bombay set up in 1875 and Ahemadabad set up in 1894. These were
organized as voluntary non-profit making organization of brokers to
regulate and protect their interests. Before the control on securities
trading became a central subject under the constitution in 1950, it was
a state subject and the Bombay securities contract (CONTROL) Act of
1952 used to regulate trading in securities. Under this Act, the
Bombay stock exchanges in 1927 and Ahemadabad in 1937.
During the war boom, a number of stock exchanges were organized in
Bombay, Ahemadabad and other centers, but they were not
recognized. Soon after it became a central subject, central legislation
was proposed and a committee headed by A.D. Gorwala went into the
bill for securities regulation. On the basis of committee’s
recommendations and public discussions the securities contracts
(regulations) Act became law in 1956.
Definition of Stock Exchange
“Stock exchange means anybody or individuals whether incorporated
or not, constituted for the purpose of assisting, regulation or
controlling the business of buying, selling or dealing in securities.” It is
an association of member brokers for the purpose of self regulation
and protecting the internets of its members. It can operate only if it is
recognized by the Govt. under the securities contract (regulation) Act,
1956 the recognition is granted under section 3 of Act by the Central
Govt. ministry of finance.
Byelaws
Beside the above act, the securities contract (regulation) rules were
also made in 1975 to regulate certain matter of trading on Stock
Exchange. These are also byelaws of the exchanges, which are
concerned with following subjects.
Opening/Closing of the Stock Exchange, timing of trading, regulation
of blank transfer, regulation of Badla or carryover business, control of
statement, and other activities of stock exchange, fixation of margins,
fixation market price or making price, regulation of intraday (jobbing),
regulation of broker trading, brokerage charges, trading rules on
exchanges, attribution and settlement of disputes, settlement and
clearing of the trading etc.
Regulation of stock exchange
The securities contract (regulation) is the basis of the stock exchange
in India. No exchange can operate legally without the Govt. permission
or recognition. Stock exchanges are given monopoly in certain areas
under section 19 of the above Act to ensure that the control and
regulation are facilitated. Recognition can be granted to a stock
exchange provided certain condition are satisfied and the necessary
information is supplied to the government. Recognition can also be
withdrawn, if necessary. Where there are no stock exchanges, the
government can license some of the brokers to perform the function of
stock exchange in its absence.
satisfied and the necessary information is supplied to the government.
Recognition can also be withdrawn, if necessary. Where there are no
stock exchanges, the government can license some of the brokers to
perform the function of stock exchange in its absence.
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE BOARD OF
INDIA (SEBI)
SEBI was setup as an autonomous regulatory authority by the
Government of India in 1988 “to perform the interest of investors in
the securities and to promote the development of, and to regulate the
securities market and for matters connected therewith or incidental
thereto.” It is empowered by two Acts namely the SEBI act, 1992 and
the securities contract (regulation) Act 1956 to perform the function of
protecting investor’s right and regulating the capital market.
Bombay Stock Exchange
The stock exchange, Mumbai, popularly known as “BSE” was
established in 1875 as “The Native share and stock broker
association”, as a voluntary non-profit making association. It has an
evolved over the year into its present status as the premiere stock
exchange in the country. It may be noted that the stock exchanges the
oldest one in the Asia, even older than the Tokyo Stock Exchange,
which was founded in 1878.
The Exchange, while providing an effective and transparent market for
trading in securities, uphold the interest of the investors and ensure
redressed of their grievances, whether against the companies or its
own member brokers. It also strives to educate satisfied and the
necessary information is supplied to the government. Recognition can
also be withdrawn, if necessary. Where there are no stock exchanges,
the government can license some of the brokers to perform the
function of stock exchange in its absence.
and enlighten the investors by making available necessary informative
inputs and conducting investor education programmes.
A governing board comprising of 9 elected directors, 2 SEBI nominees,
7 public representatives and an executive director is the apex body,
which decides the policies and regulates the affairs of the exchanges.
The executive director as the chief executive officer is responsible for
the day today administration of the exchange. The average daily
turnover of the exchange during the year 2000-01 (April-March) was
Rs. 3984.19 crores and average number of daily trades 5.69 lakhs.
However the average daily turn over of the exchange during the year
2001-02 has declined to Rs. 1244.10 crores and number of average
daily trades during the period to 5.17 lakhs.
The average daily turn over of the exchange during the year 2002-03
had declined and number of average daily trades during the period is
also decreased. The Ban on all deferral products like BLESS AND ALBM
in the Indian capital markets by SEBI with effects from July 2, 2001,
abolition of account period settlements, in all scripts traded on the
exchanges with effect from Dec 31, 2001, etc., have adversely
impacted the liquidity and consequently there is a considerable decline
in the daily turn over at the exchange. The average daily turn over of
the exchange present scenario is 110363 (laces) and number of
average daily trades 1057 (laces).
BSE Indices
In order to enable the market participants analysis etc., to track the various
ups and downs in the Indian stock market, the Exchange has introduced in
1986 an equity stock index called BSE-SENSEX that subsequently became
the barometer of the moments of the share prices in the Indian Stock
market. It is a “Market capitalization weighted” index of 30 components
stocks representing a sample of large, well-established and leading
companies. The base year of Sensex is 1978-79. The Sensex is widely
reported in both domestic and international markets through print as well as
electronic media.
Sensex is calculated using a market capitalization weighted method.
As per this methodology, the level of the index reflects the total
market value of all 30-component stocks form different industries
related to particular base period. The total market value of a company
is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of
shares outstanding. Statisticians call an index of a set of
combined variables (such as price and number of shares) a composite
Index. An Indexed number is used to represent the results of this
calculation is order to make the value easier to work with the track
over a time. It is much easier to graph a chart based on Indexed
values than one based on actual values world over majority of the
well-known Indices are constructed using “Market capitalization
weighted method”.
In practice, the daily calculation of SENSEX is done dividing the
aggregate market value of the 30 companies in the Index Divisor. The
keeps the Index comparable over a period or time and if the reference
point for the entire Index maintenance adjustments. SENSEX is widely
used to describe the mood in the Indian Stock Markets. Base year
average is changed as per the formula new base year average = old
base year average* (new market value/old market value).
National Stock Exchange
The NSE was incorporated in Now 1992 with an equity capital of
Rs. 25 crores. The international securities consultancy (ISE) of Hong
Kong has helped in setting up NSE. ISE has prepared the detailed
business plans and installation of hardware and software systems.
The promotions for NSE were financial institutions, insurance
companies, banks an SEBI capital market ltd., Infrastructure leasing
and financial services ltd. and stock holding corporation ltd.
It has been set up to strengthen the move towards professionalisation
of the capital market as well as provide nation wide securities trading
facilities to investors.
NSE is not an exchange in the traditional sense where brokers own
and mange the exchange. A two tier administrative set up involving a
company board and a governing abroad of the exchange is envisaged.
NSE is a national market for share PSU bonds, debentures and
government securities since infrastructure and trading facilities are
provided.
NSE-NIFTY
The NSE on April 22, 1996 launched a new equity Index. The NSE-50.
The new index, which replaces the existing NSE-100 index, is expected
to serve as an appropriate Index for the new segment of futures and
options.“Nifty” means National Index for Fifty Stocks.The NSE-50
comprises 50 companies that represent 20 board Industry groups with
an aggregate market capitalization of around Rs. 1,70,000 crores. All
companies included in the Index have a market capitalization in excess
of Rs. 500 crores each and should have traded for 85% of trading days
at an impact cost of less than 1.5%. The base period for the close of
prices on Nov 3, 1995, which makes one year of completion of
operation of NSE’s capital market segment. The base value of the
Index has been set at 1000.
NSE-MIDCAP INDEX
The NSE madcap Index or the Junior Nifty comprises 50 stocks that
represents 21 abroad Industry groups and will provide proper
representation of the madcap segment of the Indian capital Market.
All stocks in the index should have market capitalization of greater
than Rs. 200 crores and should have traded 85% of the trading days
at an impact cost of less 2.5 %.
The base period for the index is Nov 4, 1996, which signifies two years
for completion of operations of the capital market segment of the
operations. The base value of the Index has been set at 1000.
Average daily turn over of the present scenario 258212 (Laces) and
number of averages daily trades 2160 (Laces).
At present, there are 24 stock exchanges recognized under the
securities contact (regulation) Act, 1956.
INTRODUCTION AND CONCEPT OF SHARE
TRADING
Trading in shares is old phenomena its regulation had been started
when securities contract act had been formed in 1956. Transfer of
resources from those with idle resources to others who have a
productive need for them is most efficiently achieved through the
securities market. It provides a channel for reallocation of savings to
investments.
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE BOARD OF INDIA (SEBI) is a
regulatory governing body of security market. The SEBI Act 1992 was
enacted to empower SEBI with statutory powers for:
(a) Protecting the interests of investors in securities.
(b) Promoting the development of the securities market
(c) Regulating the securities market
Its regulatory jurisdiction extends over corporate in the issuance of
capital and transfer of securities. It has powers to register and
regulate all the market all market intermediaries and also to penalize
them in case of violations of the provisions of the ACT, rules and
regulations made there under. SEBI has a full autonomy and authority
to regulate and develop an orderly securities market.
The share market can be segmented in two parts one is Primary
Market another is Secondary Market.
Primary Market
It provides opportunity to issuers of securities government as well as
corporate to raise resources to meet their requirements of investments. In
this market companies issue fresh security sin exchange of funds through
public issues or private placements. The market design for primary market is
provided in the provision of Companies Act, 1956 which deals with issues,
listing and allotment of securities. The investors have to apply the shares by
filling the application form issue by the company along with the application
money. According to Disclosure and Investor Protection guidelines of SEBI,
1992 company has to disclose all the necessary information regarding pricing
of issues, listing requirements, disclosure norms lock-in-period for promoters
contribution, contents of offer documents pre and post issue obligations etc.
Company can issue shares at face value, at premium or at discount. Another
method of pricing which is now days common is issuing the securities
through online system of the stock exchange has to comply with the section
55 to 68a of the companies Act, 1956 and SEBI guidelines 2000. The
company is required to enter in to an agreement with the stock exchanges
which have the requisite system for online offer of securities. The advantages
for this new system are:-
(a) The investors part with money only after allotment.
(b) It eliminates refunds except in case of direct applications.
(c) It reduces the time taken for issue process
(d) Secondary Market
(e) Secondary market is the place for sale and purchase of existing
securities. It enables an investor to adjust his holdings of securities in
response to changes in his assessment about risk and return. It
enables him to sell securities for cash to meet his liquidity needs. It
essentially comprises of the stock exchanges which provide platform
for trading of securities and a host of intermediaries who assist in
trading of securities and clearing and settlement of trades. The
securities are traded, cleared and settled as per prescribed regulatory
framework under the supervision of the exchanges and oversight of
SEBI.
Trading Mechanism
Earlier trading on stock exchanges in India used to take place through
open outcry without use of information technology for immediate
matching or recording of trades. This was time consuming and
inefficient. This imposed limits on trading volumes and efficiency. In
order to provide efficiency, liquidity and transparency National Stock
Exchange introduced a nation wide on line fully automated screen
based trading system where a member can punch in to the computer
quantities of securities and the prices at which he likes to transact and
the transaction is executed as soon as it finds a matching sale or buy
order from a counter party. Screen based trading electronically
matches orders on a price/time priority and hence cuts down on time,
cost and risk of error, as well as on fraud resulting in improved
operational efficiency. It enables market participants, irrespective of
their geographical locations to trade with one another and it provides
equal access to everybody.
NSE has main computer which is connected through Very Small
Aperture Terminal (VSAT) installed at its office. The main computer
runs on a default tolerant STRATUS mainframe computer at the
exchange. Brokers have terminals installed at their premises which are
connected through VSATs. An investor informs a broker to place an
order on his behal
