    Introduction

    The last decade (2000-2010) has been the most eventful period for the Indiansecurities market during which it took major strides to carve a niche for itself inthe global securities markets. The major developments which hastened thisincredible journey can broadly be observed under three categories, i.e. improved

    market microstructure, introduction of new products and progressive changes inthe regulatory framework.This chapter is split into two sections. Section 1 focuses on the broaderdevelopments in the securities markets during 2000-2010. Section 2 discussesthe structure and the developments of the Indian securities markets during2009-10.

    Section-1: Issues and Developments in the past decade (2000-2010)

    Improved Market Microstructure

    To reduce transaction time and bolster liquidity, various reforms wereundertaken during this decade (2000-2010), such as introduction of automatedtrading system, reduction in the settlement cycle, dematerialization etc. Further,the stock exchanges were allowed to provide a separate trading window forblock deals in November 2005 to facilitate execution of large trades withoutimpacting the market. With the advent of new technology, greater sophisticationwas brought to the Indian securities markets by introducing world class

    facilities like Direct Market Access (DMA), algorithmic trading, smart orderrouting system and co-location service.On the clearing and settlement front, in July 2001, the Indian securities marketmade a paradigm shift from the century old account period settlement to a T+5rolling settlement. Keeping abreast with the dynamics of the securities marketand to integrate with the world markets, in April 2002, the Indian capitalmarkets joined the league of developed markets in the world by the introductionof the T+3 rolling settlement cycle and further to T+2 in April 2003.Dematerialisation which was introduced in 1998 achieved 100% demat trading

    at NSE in June 2002.

    In the primary markets, SEBI made IPO grading compulsory for companiescoming out with the IPOs of equity shares in May 2007. An IPO Grade providesan additional input to investors in arriving at an investment decision based onindependent and objective analysis. In addition, SEBI introduced the process ofApplication Supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA) which ensured that theapplication money does not move out of the account of applicant but is onlyblocked and debited to the extent of allotment. ASBA helped to overcome theearlier refund related concerns upon allotment and enabled investors to earninterest on the blocked amount.Besides these improvements in market microstructure, introduction of a varietyof new products provided the much needed dynamism and impetus to thegrowth of the Indian securities market.

    Introduction of New Products

    In the last decade, various new products were introduced in different marketsegments of the securities markets. Among them, the equity derivative productsmet with tremendous success, making India stand out in the global securities

    markets arena. India began trading derivatives with underlying such as indicesand individual stocks and later extended to other asset classes like interest rateand currency. Currency futures on USDINR were introduced for trading andsubsequently the Indian rupee was allowed to trade against other currenciessuch as euro, pound sterling and the Japanese yen. To enhance retailparticipation and market liquidity in equity derivative segment, mini derivativecontracts on Nifty and Sensex were introduced in 2008 having a minimumcontract size of ` 1 lakh. SEBI also allowed trading on option contracts on Niftyand Sensex with tenure of up to five years to provide liquidity at the longer endof the market. In addition to derivatives products, a host of other products suchas mutual funds, index funds, index and gold based ETFs and ETFs oninternational indices2 were introduced on the Indian stock exchanges during thelast decade.

    Assessment of Performance of Indian Securities Market during 2000-2010

    The initiatives discussed above have not only transformed the landscape of thesecurities market, but also contributed to its growth. It can be seen that duringthe decade, there has been a significant rise in the market capitalization ratio,turnover ratio and traded value ratio. The turnover in the cash market has nearly

    doubled over the decade while the market capitalization has become eight timesthe levels that existed in 2000. The turnover in the Indian derivatives market hasincreased from US $ 0.086 trillion in 2000-01 to US $ 3.92 trillion in 2009-10and has surpassed the cash market turnover in India. The resource mobilizationin the primary market has increased dramatically, rising six fold between 2000and 2010.Similarly, the resource mobilization through euro issues has increasedsignificantly over the years. Table-1 shows the performance in the capitalmarket in terms of certain key indicators.Table- 1

    Section-2: Structure and Developments of the Indian Securities Markets

    during 2009-10

    Key strengths of the Indian securities markets

    The securities markets in India have made enormous progress in developingsophisticated instruments and modern market mechanisms. The key strengths ofthe Indian capital market include a fully automated trading system on all stockexchanges, a wide range of products, an integrated platform for trading in bothcash and derivatives, and a nationwide network of trading through over 4,6184corporate brokers. A significant feature of the Indian securities market is thequality of regulation. The market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board ofIndia (SEBI) is an independent and effective regulator. It has put in place soundregulations in respect of intermediaries, trading mechanism, settlement cycles,risk management, derivative trading and takeover of companies. There is a welldesigned disclosure based regulatory system. Information technology isextensively used in the securities market. The stock exchanges in India have themost advanced and scientific risk management systems. The growing number ofmarket participants, the growth in volume of securities transactions, thereduction in transaction costs, the significant improvements in efficiency,transparency and safety, and the level of compliance with internationalstandards have earned for the Indian securities market a new respect in the

    world.

    Market Segments

    The securities market has two interdependent and inseparable segments, thenew issues (primary) market and the stock (secondary) market. The primarymarket provides the channel for creation and sale of new securities, while thesecondary market deals in securities previously issued. The securities issued in

    the primary market are issued by public limited companies or by governmentundertakings. The resources in this kind of market are mobilized either throughthe public issue or through private placement route. It is a public issue if anyonecan subscribe it, whereas if the issue is made available to a selected group ofpersons it is termed as private placement. There are two major types of issuersof securities, the corporate entities who issue mainly debt and equityinstruments and the government (central as well as state) who issue debtsecurities (dated securities and treasury bills).The secondary market enables participants who hold securities to adjust their

    holdings in response to changes in their assessment of risks and returns.

    Once the new securities are issued in the primary market they are traded in thestock (secondary) market. The secondary market operates through twomediums, namely, the over-the-counter (OTC) market and the exchange-tradedmarket. OTC markets are informal markets where trades are negotiated. Most of

    the trades in the government securities are in the OTC market.All the spot trades where securities are traded for immediate delivery andpayment take place in the OTC market. The other option is to trade using theinfrastructure provided by the stock exchanges. The exchanges in India follow asystematic settlement period. All the trades taking place over a trading day(day=T) are settled together after a certain time (T+2 day). The trades executedon exchanges are cleared and settled by a clearing corporation. The clearingcorporation acts as a counterparty and guarantees settlement. A variant of thesecondary market is the forward market, where securities are traded for futuredelivery and payment. A variant of the forward market is Futures and Optionsmarket. Currently only two exchanges viz., National Stock Exchange of IndiaLtd. (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) provide trading in the equityfutures & options in India.

    Market Participants

    The four important market participants of securities markets are :-

    nvestors ssuers ntermediaries egulators.

    Edelweiss Broking Limited

    1. nvestorsAn investor is the backbone of the capital market of any economy as he is

    the one lending his surplus resources for funding the setting up or expansion ofcompanies, in return for financial gain.

    2. ssuersPrimary markets

    An aggregate of ` 10,075,102 million (US $ 223,197 million) were raised by thegovernment and corporate sector during 2009-10 as against `6,588,920 million(US $ 129,321 million) in 2008-09, an increase of 52.91%. Private placementaccounted for 93.07% of the domestic total resource mobilisation by theCorporate Sector. Resource mobilisation through euro issues escalatedsignificantly by 233.48% to `159,670 million (US $ 3,537 million) in 2009-10.

    3.

    ntermediaries

    The term market intermediary refers to those who are in the business of

    managing individual portfolios, executing orders, dealing in or distributingsecurities and providing information relevant to the trading of securities. Themarket mediators play an important role in the stock exchanges; they puttogether the demands of the buyers with the offers of the security sellers. Alarge variety and number of intermediaries provide intermediation services inthe Indian securities markets. The market intermediary has a close relationship

    with the investor with whose protection the regulator is primarily tasked. As aconsequence a large portion of the regulation of a securities industry is directedtowards the market intermediary. Regulations address entry criteria, capital andprudential requirements, ongoing supervision and discipline of entrants, and theconsequences of default and failure. One of the issue concerning brokers is theneed to encourage them to corporatize. Currently, 46.10%5 of the brokers arecorporates. Corporatisation of their business would help them compete withglobal players in capital markets at home and abroad. Corporatisation bringsbetter standards of governance and better transparency hence increasing the

    confidence level of customers.

    4. egulatorsThe absence of conditions of perfect competition in the securities market

    makes the role of regulator extremely important. The regulator ensures that themarket participants behave in a desired manner so that securities marketscontinue to be a major source of finance for corporate and government and theinterest of investors are protected. The responsibility for regulating thesecurities market is shared by Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Ministryof Corporate Affairs (MCA), Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and SEBI. Theorders of SEBI under the securities laws are appealable before a SecuritiesAppellate Tribunal (SAT). Most of the powers under the SCRA are exercisable

    by DEA while a few others by SEBI. The powers of the DEA under the SCRAare also concurrently exercised by SEBI. The powers in respect of the contractsfor sale and purchase of securities, gold related securities, money marketsecurities and securities derived from these securities and ready forwardcontracts in debt securities are exercised concurrently by RBI. The SEBI Actand the Depositories Act are mostly administered by SEBI. The rules under thesecurities laws are framed by government and regulations by SEBI. All theserules are administered by SEBI. The powers under the Companies Act relatingto issue and transfer of securities and non-payment of dividend are administeredby SEBI in case of listed companies and companies proposing to get theirsecurities listed. The SROs ensure compliance with their own rules as well aswith the rules relevant for them under the securities laws.

    The chapter describes in brief about

    STOCK MARKET

    A stock market is a public entity for the trading of stock (shares) of companyat an agreed price. Only those securities are traded which are listed on stockmarket. It is one of the most vital areas of a market economy as it providescompanies with access to capital and investors with a slice of ownership in thecompany and the potential of gains based on the company's future performance.

    The stock market is mainly divided in two types:-

    1. Primary Market2. Secondary Market

    16

    What is Primary Market?Ans. Primary market facilitates government as well corporates in raising

    capital to meet their requirements of capital expenditure or discharge ofother obligation such as exit opportunity for venture capitalist. The mostcommon primary mechanism for raising capital is an Initial Public Offer(IPO), under which shares are offered to common public as a precursor tothe trading in secondary market of an exchange. The price at which theshares will be issued is decided with the help of book buildingmechanism & in case of oversubscription the shares are allotted on a pro-rata basis. The securities issued in the primary market are issued by

    public limited companies or by government undertakings. The resourcesin this kind of market are mobilized either through the public issue or

    through private placement route.

    What is Secondary Market?Ans. Secondary market is a market in which the trading of shares is performed

    after the fresh issue of primary market i.e. the secondary market enablesparticipants who hold securities to adjust their holdings in response tochanges in their assessment of risks and returns. Once the new securitiesare issued in the primary market they are traded in the stock (secondary)market. The secondary market operates through two mediums, namely,the Over-the-counter (OTC) market and the exchange-traded market.

    OTC markets are informal markets where trades are negotiated. Most ofthe trades in the government securities are in the OTC market. All thespot trades where securities are traded for immediate delivery andpayment take place in the OTC market. The other option is to trade usingthe infrastructure provided by the stock exchanges.

    Exchange in advance). The market timings of the equities segment are:

    Normal Market Open : 09:15 hours

    If you don't know where you are going - you will never get there.

    Many people suddenly choosing their mobile as the new way to view &

    manage their money because it is quite simple & valuable option to have

    it. As even mobile can be used for offline trading or mobile trading both.

    and place his order according to the need or can directly trade himself

    with the help of GPRS & internet connectivity on a mobile.

    personal banking. It is a safe & convenient way for broking & investment

    Stock Broking customers can save time by trading offline or online.There is no need to stand in one more line to place an order & performthe most basic transactions when they can be done quickly from thedesktop PC or through offline facility.

    Moreover complicated transactions or investment decisions, people likehaving direct control over their finances themselves. They find itconvenient to access all of their financial information in one place. Asthey simply get research & strategies to be followed by the company onlyso they do not need to be tense for that.

    Ease of use is one of the most important factors. Navigation throughtrading account to bank account should be simple and intuitive. As itbecomes an easy job for transferring funds anytime through onlinetransfer.

    :

    Cutting transaction costs results in higher profit margin for the brokingcompanies. As even the service which is being provided is offline &online which is not being charged by the traders but still the cost of allthis occurs a lot to the company so whatever reductions can be madepossible should be implemented to reduce the cost without affecting the

    service quality.

    The main thing which occurs mostly is due to competition in the marketas because most of the brokerage house hide the charges and show thereservice & brokerage rate very low which is just not possible for any of themarket competitors. So even these types of competitions are also therefrom which even the whole market gets destroyed and traders simplymoves to the cheaper ones. For avoiding these types of situationsparticular market research should be done on competitors also.

    Offering new services, results in improved customer experience

    and stronger customer retention.

    Customers having higher stock balances compared to average customers

    should be treated separately. As such the Individuals & HNI should be

    treated according to their capability of investing the money in themarket. By this way more profits can be earned through the same work

    & services.
