INTRODUCTION

In today’s scenario Online Share Trading in Stock market is gaining


popularity. Till now most of the customers were working with offline but in
metro cities Online Share Trading is preferred because no one has much
time to go to market and work with offline.

So, online share trading come in picture. In Online Share Trading


investors invest their money in stock market through the internet. They
do not want to go to a broker. Today companies provided all information
on a company website or make their own software. Investors buy or sell
their securities in a few seconds by clicking a mouse.

Internet. Investors get this information online. These reports help
investors for investment in securities. Online Share Trading is very less
time consuming and expensive. So Online share Trading is much better
than offline share trading. Online Share Trading is safer and faster

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I am Kapil Kumar from the batch of 2007-09, Dev Bhoomi Institute of


Technology, Dehradun. I did my Summer Training with Reliance Money
(www.reliancemoney.com) from 24th of May 2008 to 19th of July 2008.
I was assigned the task of Competitive Analysis, Promotion and Future of
Online Trading & Mutual fund.
.
This research is based on the comparative analysis of Reliance Money
with other broking houses and study of Future of Online Share Trading in
India. It’s totally based on realistic approach towards the online share-
trading senario in India.

In the first phase I covered some other stock broking companies as


compared to Reliance Money. I examined thoroughly areas such as
number of players, technology they are offering their customer base their
products and offerings and how they market their products etc.

In between to acquire new customers for Reliance Money was also an


integral part of the job. In this process I spoke to different potential
customers about the organization and its products in order to increase the
popularity of Reliance Money.

I took places in Gurgaon & Delhi as a sample. I did follow market


research procedure to get an idea about the future of Online Share
Trading. For this I divided the whole Delhi into a five zones (East ,West,
South ,North ,Central).
PROJECT OBJECTIVE

I was assigned with the task of comparing different online broking


companies and predicting the future of online share trading in India as a
part of the summer training curriculum. The entire project was divided
into six parts:

a) Gathering data about the leading online broking houses and


compare the main points and find the strengths of Reliance Money
compared to them.

b) Conducting Market Research in various parts of the city in order to


get statistical data for commenting on the future of online share
trading in India.

c) Customer Acquisition through sales of Trading / Demat Accounts in


order to get a deep insight as to how the Organization actually
performs these functions.

.
d) To increase the product awareness of Reliance money as one
window shop for investment solutions.

e) To find the potential market for Reliance Money products and


getting information about pricing strategy of competitors to fight cut
throat competition.

d) To collect the real time information about preference level of


customers using Demat account and their inclination towards
various other brokerage firms e.g. Indiabulls, ICICI direct.com,
Sharekhan , Indiainfoline , Religare , Alankit, Unicon etc.
METHODOLOGY

Methodology for Market Research

I divided the entire city into zones and drew out samples out of each
zone. The size of samples drawn from each zone depended on the
prospective ness of the particular area. For e.g., if a particular research
area consisted of Offices then the sample size would obviously be higher
than an area like Shopping mall or PVR. This is because Office employees
constitute the service sectors who are the active investors of today. Also,
the office areas consist of people from the business class who have
always been in the hunt for quick money, not to forget that smart and
timely investment in the share market can yield to enormous returns.
Methodology for Customer Acquisition

The leads for customer acquisition primarily came from the questionnaires
filled up by prospective customers. Apart from these customers were also
pitched through personal references and contacts. Moreover the
organization takes every possible effort in order to spread mass
awareness. As a result of this publicity campaign, influenced prospective
customers approach the organization. There are various ways to make
people aware about the organization as such Marketing Research,
Canopy, Personal References, Pop-up windows having collaboration with
various portals e.g. Rediffmail.com etc. Person with adequate interest
leaves his contact information. Later on these leads are contacted
personally for further development. The organization has efficient sales
stuff who excel in this job. Part time trainees are also appointed for the
same. This work force been perfectly supervised by the Managers. Thus
all these factors sum up into a result oriented work force. These leads
were the contacted through tele-calling and after developing a
relationship, they were pitched in at the addresses provided by them.
After giving them a presentation about the product and its advantages
over its competitors, they were promised of a Demo by company sales
force in case a sale had resulted. Also references were collected from such
people and the same methodology was repeated. For each and every
customer personal quarries have been entertained after the sale is done.
COMPANY PROFILE

Reliance Money is a group company of Reliance Capital. It is under the


Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. Reliance Capital Ltd (RCL ), formerly known
as Reliance Capital and Finance Trust, was promoted by Reliance
Industries Ltd (RIL) in 1986 at Ahmedabad, in state of Gujarat with a
capital of Rs 70,000/-. The company intended to access the capital
market as part of the resource raising programme, which materialized in
the year 1990 and active operations commenced soon after its maiden
public issue of equity shares aggregating Rs 20 crore in April 1990. In
Jan.'1995, it came out with a rights-cum-public issue at a premium of Rs
130, aggregating Rs 600 crore to strengthen the company's equity base
and meet its long-term working capital requirements. The company was
granted approval by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to
act as an Approved Intermediary under the provisions of SEBI's Securities
Lending Scheme, 1997. During 1998-99, the company disinvested part of
its holding in Reliance Share and Stock Brokers and Reliance Land. These

INTRODUCTION TO MUTUAL FUNDS

EMERGENCE OF MUTUAL FUNDS:

Mutual funds now represent perhaps the most appropriate investment


opportunity for most investors. As financial market becomes more
sophisticated & complex investors need a financial intermediary who
provide the required knowledge and professional’s expertise on successful
investment .The Indian mutual fund industry has already stared opening
many of the exciting investment opportunities to Indian investors. Despite
the expected continuing growth in the industry, mutual funds are still
anew financial intermidartry in India.

MUTUAL FUND CONCEPT

A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors


who share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is then
invested in capital market instruments such as equities, debentures and
other securities. The income earned through these investments and the
capital appreciation realized (after deducting the expenses and profits of
mutual fund managers) is shared by its unit holders in proportion to the
number of units owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund strives to meet the
investment needs of the common man by offering him or her an
opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of
securities at a relatively low cost. An open-ended fund operated by an
investment company which raises money from shareholders and invests
in a group of assets, in accordance with a stated set of objectives. Mutual
funds raise money by selling shares of the fund to the public, much like
any other type of company can sell stock in itself to the public. Mutual
funds then take the money they receive from the sale of their shares
(along with any money made from previous investments) and use it to
purchase various investment vehicles, such as stocks, bonds and money
market instruments. In return for the money they give to the fund when
purchasing shares, shareholders receive an equity position in the fund
and, in effect, in each of its underlying securities. For most mutual funds,
shareholders are free to sell their shares at any time, although the price
of a share in a mutual fund will fluctuate daily, depending upon the
performance of the securities held by the fund. Benefits of mutual funds
include diversification and professional money management. Mutual funds
offer choice, liquidity, and convenience, but charge fees and often require
a minimum investment. A closed-end fund is often incorrectly referred to
as a mutual fund, but is actually an investment trust. There are many
types of mutual funds, including aggressive growth fund,
asset allocation fund, balanced fund, blend fund, bond fund,
capital appreciation fund, clone fund, closed fund, crossover fund,
equity fund, fund of funds, global fund, growth fund,
growth and income fund, hedge fund, income fund, index fund,
international fund, money market fund, municipal bond fund,
prime rate fund, regional fund, sector fund,

Before I dive into the definition of a mutual fund, it is important


that you have a basic understanding of stocks and bonds

Stocks

Stocks represent shares of ownership in a public company. Examples of


public companies include IBM, Microsoft, Ford, Coca-Cola, and General
Mills. Stocks are the most common ownership investment traded on the
market.

Bonds
Bonds are basically a chance for you to lend your money to the
government or a company. You can receive interest and your principle
back over predetermined amounts of time. Bonds are the most common
lending investment traded on the market.

There are many other types of investments other than stocks and
bonds (including annuities, real estate, and precious
metals), but the majority of mutual funds invest in stocks
and/or bonds.

DEFINITION OF MUTUAL FUND

A mutual fund is simply a financial intermediary that allows a group of


investors to pool their money together with a predetermined investment
objective. The mutual fund will have a fund manager who is responsible
for investing the pooled money into specific securities (usually stocks or
bonds). When you invest in a mutual fund, you are buying shares (or
portions) of the mutual fund and become a shareholder of the fund.
Mutual funds are one of the best investments ever created because they
are very cost efficient and very easy to invest in (you don't have to figure
out which stocks or bonds to buy).
The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual
fund:

GROWTH AND INCOME SCHEMES

Mutual fund products or schemes are broadly categorized into Growth


(also called Equity) and Income schemes. Growth schemes invest
predominantly in equity securities and Income schemes invest
predominantly in fixed income securities such as debentures, money
market instruments and government securities. Equities are a riskier class
of assets, as they are susceptible for severe volatility in prices and hence
growth schemes are recommended only for those investors who are
interested in capital appreciation over the long term (five years and
beyond). For risk-averse investors who are interested in investing in fixed
income instruments or those with a shorter time horizon for investment
(less than five years), income schemes are considered suitable.
Table 1: shows scheme-wise break-up of assets managed by mutual
funds in India. The Indian mutual fund investor has so far displayed a
clear inclination to be risk averse with over 80 per cent of the funds
invested in Income, Money Market and Gilt schemes and only about 20
per cent in Growth and Balanced (a mix of Growth and Income) schemes
ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS

• Portfolio Diversification:

Mutual Funds normally, invest in a well-diversified portfolio or


securities. MF enables investors to hold a diversified investment
portfolio even with a small amount of investment.

• Reduction of Risk:

Investors in a mutual fund acquire a diversified portfolio, no matter


how small his investment. Diversification reduces the risk of loss, as
compared to investing directly in one or two shares, debentures, or
others instruments. When investors invest directly, all the risk of
potential loss is his own. A fund investor also reduces his risk in an
other way.

• Reduction transaction cost:

What is true of risk is also true of the transaction cost a direct


investors bears all the cost of investing such as brokerage or custody
of securities when going through a fund he has the benefit of
economies of scale the funs pay lesser cost because of larger
volumes, a benefit past on to its investors.

• Liquidity:

Often Investors hold shares or bonds they can not directly easily and
quickly sell. Investment in a mutual fund on the other hand is more
liquid an investors can liquidate the investment by selling the unit to
the fund if open – end or selling them in the market if the fund is
close- end and the collect the funds at the end of a period specified
the mutual fund or the stock market .
• Convince & Flexibility :

Mutual Fund management companies offered many investors services


that a direct market investor can not get. Investors can easily
transfer their holdings from one scheme to the other and can get up
date market information.
DISADVANTAGE OF INVESTING THROUGH MUTUAL
FUNDS

• No Control Over Cost:

An investor in a mutual fund has no control over the overall cost of


investing. His investment management fees as long as he remains
with the funds, albeit in returns for the professional management and
research. A mutual fund investor also pays distribution cost which
he would not incur in the direct investing . However this shortcoming
only means that there is a cost obtains the benefits of mutual
services.

• No tailor made portfolio:

Investors who invest their own can build their own portfolios of
shares, bonds and other securities. Investing through funds means
he delegates this decision to the fund manager. The very high net
worth individuals or large corporate investors may find this to be a
constraint in achieving their objectives however most mutual funds
help investors to overcome this constraint by offering miles of
schemes- a large number of different schemes with in the same fund
an investor can choose from different investment plans and construct
a portfolio of his choice.

• Managing a Portfolio of funds:

Availability of large number of funds can actually mean too much


choice for the investors. He may again need advice on how to select a
fund to achieve his objective quite similar to the situation when he
has to select individual shares or bonds to invest in.
TAX BENEFITS

• Tax benefits to mutual fund:

Mutual fund in India has a special feature as to income tax provision.


Under section 10(23D) of income tax Act1961, a mutual fund has been
conferred total tax exemption from income tax on all its income provided
it is recognized fund. Recognized fund implies that the fund should be
registered under SEBI (mutual fund) Regulation, 1993. Thus income
accrued to assets Management Company by way of dividend or by way of
capital gain is totally exempt. This meant to provide a much higher yield
to the mutual fund to enable them to distribute a higher return to the
investors.

According to union budget 2002-03, mutual funds are also relived of the
tax liability as the incidence of tax is shifted on the unit holders of UTI
and other mutual funds and sub clause (ii) & (iii) of clause 33 section (10)
are omitted. Income from investment is otherwise taxable but under
income tax act, mutual funds are treated as pass through entities since
they invest fund of public and earns income on their behalf. It implies that
whether the income is in form of dividends, interest, underwriting,
commission or capital appreciation, the income of mutual fund in not
taxable.

• Tax benefits to investor

The income-received but the investor of mutual fund is taxable in their


hands as dividends unless these are capital redemption. One of the
reason for mutual funds schemes being quoted at discount to NAV was
the differential in tax treatment to equity shares and mutual funds units,
which made investments in mutual fund units less attractive than the
equity.
How to invest in mutual fund

Step one: Identify your investment needs

Your financial goals will very, based on your age, lifestyle, facial
independence, family commitments, ad level of income and expenses
among other many factors. Therefore, the first step is to assess your
needs. Begins by asking you these question:

• What are my investment objective and needs?

Probable answer: I need regular income or need to buy a home or


finance a wedding or educate my children or a combination of all
these needs.

• How much risk am I willing to take?

Probable answer: I can take a minimum amount of risk or I am


willing to accept the fact that my investment value may fluctuate or
that may be for short-term loss in order to achieve a long –term
potential gain.

• What are my cash flow requirements?

Probable answer: I need a regular cash flow or I need a lump sum


amount to meet a specific need after a certain period or I don’t
require a current cash but I want to build my assets for the future.

Going through this exercise, you will know what you want out of your
investment and can set the foundation for a sound mutual fund
investment.

Step two: Choose the right mutual fund


Once you have a clear strategy in mind you own have to choose which
Mutual Fund scheme you want to invest in. the offer document of the
scheme tells you its objectives and provides supplementary details like
the track records of other schemes managed by the same Mutual Fund
manager. Some factors to evaluate before choosing a particular Mutual
Fund.

• The track records or performance over the last few years &
relation to the appropriate yardstick and similar funds in the same
category.
• How well the mutual fund is organized to provide efficient, prompt
and personalized service.
• Degree of transparency as reflected in fraudulence and quality of
their communication.

Step three: Select the ideal mix of schemes

Investing in just mutual fund scheme may to meet all your investment
needs. You may consider investing in a combination of schemes to
achieve specific goals.

Step four: Invest regularly

For most of us, the approach that works best is to invest a fixed amount
at specific intervals, say every month. By investing a fixed sum each
month, you buy fewer units when the price is higher and more units when
the price is low, thus bringing down your average cost per unit. This is
called free cost averaging and is a disciplined investment strategy
followed by investor all over the world. With many open- ended schemes
offering systematic investment plans, this regular investing habit is made
easy for you.
Step five: Keep your taxes in mind

As per the current tax laws, dividend / income distribution made by


mutual fund is exempt from income tax in the hands of investor. Further,
there are other benefits available for investment in mutual fund under the
provision of the prevailing tax laws. You may therefore consult your tax
advisor or chartered accountant for specific advice to achieve maximum
tax efficiency by investing in mutual fund.

Step six: Start early

It is desirable to start investing early and stick to a regular investment


plan. If you start now, you will make more than if you wait and invest
later. The power of compounding lets you year income and your money
multiplies on monthly basis

Step seven: The final step

All you need to do now is to get in touch with mutual fund or your agent /
broker and start investing. Reap the rewards in the years to come. Mutual
fund is suitable for every kind of investor- whether taking an investor or
retiring, conservative or risk taking growth oriented or income earning.
MUTUAL FUNDS CLASSIFICATION

There are many types of mutual funds available to the investor however
theses different types funs can be grouped into certain classification for
better understanding .from investors perspective there basic
classifications & that are as follows:

• OPEN-END VS CLOSE END FUNDS


• LOAD AND NO LOAD FUNDS
• TAX EXEMPT VS NON TAX EXEMPT FUNDS

OPEN END VS CLOSE END FUND:

An OPEN END FUND is one that has unit available for sale and purchase at
all times an investor can buy or redeem units from the fund itself at a
price based on the net assest value (NAV) per unit. NAV per unit is
obtained by dividing the amount of market value of the funds assest by
number of unit outstanding the number of unit outstanding goes up or
down every time the fund issue new units or repurchase existing units. in
other words the unit capital of an open – end mutual fund is not fixed but
variable .note that an open – end fund is not obliged to keep selling /
issuing new units at all times, and, many successful funds stop issuing
further subscriptions from new investors after they reach ascertain size
and think they can not manage a larger fund without adversely affecting
profitability.

Unlike an open – end funds the unit cap[ital of a close – end fixed ,as it
makes a one time sale of affixed number of unit later on unlike open –
end funs , close end funds do not allow investors to buy or redeem units
directly from the funds .however to provide the much needed liquidity to
investors many close – end funds get themselves listed on a stock
exchange . trending through stock exchange enable investors to buy or
sell units of a close end mutual fund from each other , through a stock
broker in the same fashion as buying or selling shares of a company.

• LOAD AND NON LOAD FUNDS:

Marketing of mutual funds schemes involves initial expense. These


expenses may be recovered from the investor’s n different ways at
different times. Three usual ways in which funds sales expenses may be
recovered from the investors are. At the time of investors entry in to the
fund/scheme, by deducting a specific amount from his initial contribution
or By changing the funds/scheme with a fixed amount each year, during
the stated number of years, or .At the time of investor exit from the
fund/scheme, by deducting a specified amount from the redemption
proceeds payable to investor

These charges made by the fund manager t the investor to cover


distributing/sales/marketing expenses are often called “load”. In
India”SEBI has defined a load as the one time fee by the investor
to allow the fund to meet initial issue expenses including
brokers/agent/distributers/commisson, advertising and
marketing expenses. The load charged to the investor at the time of his
entry is called “front-end and entry load” the load amount charged to the
scheme over a period of time is called a “deferred load”. The load that the
investor pay at the of exit is called a “back-end or exit load”. Funds that
charge front end, back-end or deferred load are load funds. Funds that
make no such charges or load for sale expenses are called non load
fund.

TAX-EXEMPT 0R NON- TAX EXEMPT-

Generally, when a fund invests in tax-exempt securities, it is called a tax-


exempt fund. In India, after the 1999 union government budget, all of the
dividend income received from any of the mutual funds is tax free in the
hands of the investor. However, funds other than equity funds have to
pay a distribution tax, before distributing income to investor. In other
words, equity mutual fund scheme are tax-exempt investment avenues,
while other funds are taxable distributable income. While Indian mutual
funds currently offer tax-free income, any capital gains arising out of sale
of funds units are taxable. Hence, classification of mutual funds from tax
ability prospective has great significance for investors.

of the business, the industry structure, the quality of management,
sensitivity to economic factors, the financial strength of the company and
the key earnings drivers.

Risk will be reduced through adequate diversification of the portfolio. For


a corpus size of upto Rs.100 crores, the AMC intends to invest in about
20-30 scrip’s. Diversification will also be achieved by spreading the
investments over a diverse range of industries/sectors. The Scheme,
under most market conditions does not intend investing in illiquid equity
and equity related securities. The Scheme may however, invest in
unlisted and/or privately placed and/or unrated debt securities subject to
the limits indicated above, from issuers of repute and sound financial
standing. If investment is made in unrated debt securities, the approval of
the Board of the AMC shall be obtained, as per the Regulations. Subject to
the limits indicated above for investment in debt securities and money
market instruments, the Fund may invest a part of the portfolio in
securities issued and/or guaranteed by State and Central Governments.
The Fund may also invest in Securities of issuers supported by
Government of India or State Governments subject to such securities
satisfying the criteria relating to rating etc.

Portfolio Turnover:

The portfolio turnover shall generally not exceed 75% per year, once the
entire corpus is invested.

. Growth Option

The Scheme will not declare any dividends under this option. The income
earned by the Scheme will remain reinvested in the Scheme and will be
reflected in the Net Asset Value.

Dividend Option

The Trustee may approve the distribution of dividend by AMC either half
yearly or yearly out of the net surplus under this Option. The remaining
net surplus after considering the dividend and tax, if any, payable there
on will be ploughed back in the Scheme and be reflected in the NAV.

As per the Finance Act 1999, any income received from a mutual fund
specified under clause (23D) of section 10 of Income Tax Act, 1961
is exempt from tax. This amendment will apply in relation to the
Assessment Year 2000-2001 and the subsequent years. The income

INDIAN STOCK MARKET OVERVIEW

The Bombay stock exchanges (BSE) and the National


Stock Exchange of India Ltd (NSE) are the two
primary exchange in India. In addition, there are 28
Regional Stock Exchanges However, the BSE and
NSE have established themselves as the two leading
exchanges and account for about 80% of the equity
volume traded in India.

The average daily turnover at the exchanges has increased from Rs. 851
crore in 1997-98 to Rs. 1,284 crore in 1998-99 and further to Re. 2273
crore in 1999-2000 (April- August 1999). NSE has around 1500 shares
listed with a total market capitalization of around Rs. 921500 crore (Rs.
9215 Bln). The BSE has over 6000 stocks listed and has a market
capitalization of around Rs. 968000 crore (9680 Bln). Most key stocks are
traded on both the exchanges and hence the investor could buy them on
either exchange. Both exchanges have a different settlement cycle, which
allows investors to shift their positions on the bourse. The primary index
of BSE is BSE Sensex comprising 30 stocks. NSE has the S&P NSE 50
index (Nifty) which consists of fifty stocks.

The BSE Sensex is the older and more widely followed index. Both
these indices are calculated on the basis of market capitalization and
contain the heavily traded shares from key sectors. The markets are
closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Both the exchanges have switched
over from the open outcry trading system to a fully automated
computerized mode of trading known as BOLT (BSE On Line Trading) and
NEAT (National Exchange Automated Trading) System. It facilitates more
efficient processing, automatic order matching, faster execution of trades
and transparency.

The Scripts traded on the BSE have been classified into ‘A’, ‘B1’, ‘B2’, ‘C’,
‘F’ and ‘Z’ groups. The ‘A’ group shares represent those, which are in the
carry forward system (Badla). The ‘F’ group represents the debt market
(fixed income securities) segment. The ‘Z’ group scripts are the
blacklisted companies. The ‘C’ group covers the odd lot secutities in ‘A’,
‘B1’& ‘B2’ groups and Rights renunciations. The key regulator governing
Stock Exchanges, Brokers, Depositories, Depository participants, Mutual
Funds, FIIs and other participants in Indian secondary and primary
market is the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Ltd.
ABOUT NSE
The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the report of the High
Powered Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges, which recommended
promotion of a National Stock Exchange by financial institutions (FIs) to provide access
to investors from all across the country on an equal footing. Based on the
recommendations, NSE was promoted by leading Financial Institutions at the behest of
the Government of India and was incorporated in November 1992 as a tax-paying
company unlike other stock exchanges in the country.

On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act,
1956 in April 1993, NSE commenced operations in the Wholesale Debt Market (WDM)
segment in June 1994. The Capital Market (Equities) segment commenced operations in
November 1994 and operations in Derivatives segment commenced in June 2000.

ABOUT BSE
The Stock Exchange, Mumbai, popularly known as "BSE" was established
in 1875 as "The Native Share and Stock Brokers Association". It is
the oldest one in Asia, even older than the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which
was established in 1878. It is a voluntary non-profit making Association of
Persons (AOP) and is currently engaged in the process of converting itself
into demutualised and corporate entity. It has evolved over the years into
its present status as the premier Stock Exchange in the country. It is the
first Stock Exchange in the Country to have obtained permanent
recognition in 1956 from the Govt. of India under the Securities Contracts
(Regulation) Act, 1956.

The Exchange, while providing an efficient and transparent market for


trading in securities, debt and derivatives upholds the interests of the
investors and ensures redressal of their grievances whether against the
companies or its own member-brokers. It also strives to educate and
enlighten the investors by conducting investor education programs and
making available to them necessary informative inputs.

A Governing Board having 20 directors is the apex body, which decides


the policies and regulates the affairs of the Exchange. The Governing
Board consists of 9 elected directors, who are from the broking
community (one third of them retire ever year by rotation), three SEBI
nominees, six public representatives and an Executive Director & Chief
Executive Officer and a Chief Operating Officer.

The Executive Director as the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the
day-to-day administration of the Exchange and he is assisted by the Chief
Operating Officer and other Heads of Departments.
The Exchange has inserted new Rule No.126 A in its Rules, Bye-laws &
Regulations pertaining to constitution of the Executive Committee of the
Exchange. Accordingly, an Executive Committee, consisting of three
elected directors, three SEBI nominees or public representatives,
Executive Director & CEO and Chief Operating Officer has been
constituted. The Committee considers judicial & quasi matters in which
the Governing Board has powers as an Appellate Authority, matters
regarding annulment of transactions, admission, continuance and
suspension of member-brokers, declaration of a member-broker as
defaulter, norms, procedures and other matters relating to arbitration,
fees, deposits, margins and other monies payable by the member brokers
to the Exchange, etc.
INDIAN SCENARIO
Strengths

The `do-it-yourself' framework of online share trading offers retail


investors the three benefits of transparency, access and efficiency.
Paperwork diminishes significantly, and no more painful trips to your
broker to check if everything's in order. Online trading has made it
possible to universalize access to retail investors. This was earlier very
difficult, as the cost of servicing often-outweighed transaction volumes.
Online brokerage ranges between 0.05-0.20 per cent of the value of
transactions for non-delivery-based trades, and between 0.25-0.95 per
cent for delivery-based trades. Once major investments in online
infrastructure are over and done with - and with the economies of scale
coming into play - it is expected that brokerage rates would head further
downwards.

Access to online trading and latest financial happenings, apart from


quotes and unbiased investment analyses, all consolidate into a value-
added product mix in tandem with evolving markets that are freer and
fairer. The Net result: An inquisitive, informed and demanding investor.
Today's investor is more involved in managing his or her assets and
analyzing a vast array of investment options. Technology and today's
enabled investor have, in turn, driven competition, resulting in reduced
costs of trading, transparency in dealings, and pricing info that is accurate
and real-time. More and more investors now want to know how their
trades are executed, and whether they have received the best possible
price. Critical components of execution quality include the prices at which
orders were executed as well as the

speed of execution. The quality of execution, in turn, hinges on efficient


order routing. We owe this to our investor fraternity.
Weaknesses

Every thing in the world has a flip side to it - Transaction velocity is


crucial. And more often than not, connections are lousy. There's also a
degree of investor skepticism about online payment and settlement
mechanisms in spite of all the encryption and fire walling brought into
play. Time and technology will soon assuage these concerns, which hark
back to the `physical' days.

“The three main technology obstacles which have prevented Internet


broking from taking off are:

• Lack of Internet penetration


• Bandwidth infrastructure
• Poor quality of ISP infrastructure.”

Opportunities

You have some money to dabble with. Trading shares on BSE/NSE has
always been your dream. When will you ever find the time? And besides,
the hassle of finding a broker is not easy. This is your main opportunity.

Realizing there is untapped market of investors who want to be able to


execute their own trades when it suits them, brokers have taken their
trading rooms to the Internet. Known as online brokers, they allow you to
buy and sell shares via Internet.

There are 2 types of online trading service: discount brokers and full
service online broker. Discount online brokers allow you to trade via
Internet at reduced rates. Some provide quality research, other don’t. Full
service online brokerage is linked to existing brokerages. These brokers
allow their clients to place online orders with the option of talking/
chatting to brokers if advice is needed. Brokerage rates here are higher.
5Paisa.com, ICICIDirect.com, IndiaBulls.com, Sharekhan.com, Geojit
securities.com, HDFCsec.com, Tatatdw.com, Kotakstreet.com are some of
the online broking sites in India.

And daily trading turnover is estimated in the vicinity of 0.75 per cent of
the combined BSE and NSE daily turnover of about RS 11,000 crore!!!
The point is, there's tremendous scope for growth. Especially when you
consider the US, where trading over the Net accounts for about 55 per
cent of the total volumes. And, I believe, in some Asian markets the
figures as high as 70 per cent.

Threats

On to some threat perception - Domestic funds, foreign institutional


investors and operators comprise the three main market constituents.
And all three include term investors as well as opportunists in their
pecking order. Some, for instance, hitch their fate with what the FIIs are
up to. All this spells spurting volumes. But nobody gives a damn about
the resultant volatility. And some, not all, offer free investment advice
over the Net to lure rookie investors with misleading information. Prices of
scripts can also be influenced to the advantage of vested interests,
courtesy the Net. Unlike in the US, stockbrokers out here willingly (or
under the force of circumstance) assume the role of `advisors', sans the
neutral, non-vested stance.

Hurdles for online share trading

1. Internet fraud

In India, we see this kind of frauds happening in different way due to


nature of our society. Here when you talk to broker's staff while buying or
selling, he will usually advise you to buy share which he has bought and
plans to dump when price goes up.

We have seen enough of PUMP and DUMP even without help of internet in
cases of Harshad Mehta boom of 1992 and Ketan Parekh boom of 2000
(he even had cult following with Index of 10 shares called K-10).

Today lot of investor’s depending on TV channel for recommendation


about stocks to sell, or buy or hold. Channels like CNBS offer array of
experts from economist to brokers to analyst. Most of these people have
vested interest in stocks they recommend and promote.

One of the most common forms of securities fraud on the Internet


involves an imposter who attempts to manipulate the price of a stock by
disseminating phony press releases or information, or creating phony
websites. A recent example of this scheme is the hoax perpetrated
against US based, PairGain Technologies.

2. Volatility of India’s Stock Markets

Recent market developments have once more focused attention on the


volatility that has come to characterise India’s stock markets.

Movements in the Sensex during the two years have clearly been driven
by the behaviour of foreign institutional investors (FIIs), who were
responsible for net equity purchases of as much as $6.6 and $8.5 billion
respectively in 2005 and 2006. These figures compare with a peak level of
net purchases of $3.1 billion as far back as 1996 and net investments by
FIIs of just $753 million in 2002. In sum, the sudden FII interest in Indian
markets in the last two years account for the two bouts of medium-term
buoyancy that the Sensex recently displayed.

Given the presence of foreign institutional investors in Sensex companies


and their active trading behaviour, their role in determining share price
movements must be considerable. Indian stock markets are known to be
narrow and shallow in the sense that there are few companies whose
shares are actively traded. Thus, although there are more than 4700
companies listed on the stock exchange, the BSE Sensex incorporates just
30 companies, trading in whose shares is seen as indicative of market
activity. This shallowness would also mean that the effects of FII activity
would be exaggerated by the influence their behaviour has on other retail
investors, who, in herd-like fashion tend to follow the FIIs when making
their investment decisions.

Reliance money among its competitors. The push and pull factor worked
out well for Reliance Money as it grabbed 27% of the market share out of

Comments- This question was framed to read the mind of an investor.


The survey reveals that investors have become more analytical and
rationale over the period of time as they have compelled themselves to
take decisions on the basis of pre and post market research reports
offered to them at regular intervals. Also to some extent investors look in
for the brokerages charged by the trading firm while other options were
hardly considered as pre requisites for online trading.

SUGGESTIONS

ads in newspapers, magazines, tv commercials etc.

2. The Account opening time taken is about 7 working days. This

should be reduced by improving logistics.

3. The account opening charges should also be reduced to attract

customers.

4. Customer care is not its best at Reliance Money. This should be

improved by prompt customer handling.

selling my product.

complete the targets.

are required to be followed in the organization.

5. I also found that it is very important to build a relationship with a

client as it brings more business.

6. I also learnt to analyze and interpret data by working on this

project.
LIMITATIONS

1. Usual sampling errors may exist.

2. The universe selected was Delhi& Gurgaon region. So the result

cannot be generalized.

3. Some of the customers may be uninterested and may not have

replied correctly.

4. Respondent may also be biased due to several reasons.

CONCLUSION

Indian economy has been globalized and the capital market has been
linked to the international financial market. Foreign individuals and
institutional investors are now encouraged to participate into it. So, there
is a need for raising the Indian Capital market in to the international
standards in terms of efficiency and transparency. One such measure is
the passing out of the Depository Act during the year 1996.
Dematerialization of securities and under this system is one of the major
steps aimed at improving and modernizing the capital market and
enhancing the levels of investor’s protection measures which aims at
eliminating the bad deliveries and forgery of shares and expediting the
transfer of shares.
Thus online share trading is gaining its popularity.
Though it still has to go a long way but it has established its foothold in
the metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai etc. The dematerializing of
shares coupled with the huge growth of internet has been the fuel for the
online trading which is now a considerable part of the total trading.
It can therefore be said that online share trading is here to stay and will
only grow to bigger proportions and will penetrate deeper into the
economy.

I have seen both the phase of the company. I found a great improvement
in the brand awareness when company enters into second phase. After
the launch of advertisement on the television , demand and selling of
Reliance money products has increased. Their is huge difference between
both the phase in terms of number of products selling. In the end of the
project I found that print media and electronic media is more effective to
promote company products as a brand.
So online trading& Mutual Fund would become the order of the day,
taking over the traditional norms in the years to come.
