LEADERSHIP
My Biggest Achievement in Life “I’m very proud to be the Guardian of The
world’s Largest Family.
"Saharasri" Subrata Roy Sahara
Managing Worker & Chairman
Sahara India Pariwar
In business profit earnings and overall growth of business get the highest priority
and are certainly creditable, but ultimate credibility of business enterprise, particularly of larger
ones is in the utilization of profit, be it for best possible enlistment of its workforce and for
espousing Social, National Development causes or for rendering services to mankind as a
whole. Fulfilling the Qualitative aspect of utilization of profit, the world's largest family ‘Sahara
India Pariwar' is proud to have reached today new horizons of growth and development.
On the basis of our philosophy of Collective Materialism we have always given
importance to the fact that profit earning is the Quantitative aspect whereas the proper
utilization of profit is the Qualitative aspect. Ironically, we only recognize and get recognized by
the Quantitative aspect.
I, therefore earnestly appeal to one and all in Politics, Media, Business etc. that every
action, reaction, selection, appreciation or criticism should be oriented strictly towards the
Qualitative aspect. I appeal to anybody and everybody to accord top priority to Qualitative
aspect in anything and everything for peaceful, prosperous and progressive co-existence of
mankind anywhere and everywhere.
Today, I feel proud of the fact that I am the Guardian of the World's largest
family. Perhaps, I am the world's only person whose family is so vast, so disciplined, so
dedicated and so committed. Such a vast family as Sahara India Pariwar has a grand and
infinite future and I am sure that we will sustain our duty, consciousness, discipline and
dutifulness with a sense of dedication, as we have always done in the past, so that together we
could build an India full of energy and radiance.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
DATA COLLECTION
Data collection is a term used to describe a process of preparing and collecting business data -
for example as part of a process improvement or similar project.
40
Data collection usually takes place early on in an improvement project, and is often formalized
through a data collection Plan which often contains the following activity.
1. Pre collection activity – Agree goals, target data, definitions, methods
2. Collection – data collection
3. Present Findings – usually involves some form of sorting analysis and/or presentation.
There are two methods of data collection which are discussed below:
DATA COLLECTION
PRIMARY DATA SECONDARY DATA
(Data collection techniques)
QUESTIONNAIRE INTERVIEW EXTERNAL INTERNET INTERNAL
SOURCE SOURCE
PRIMARY DATA
In primary data collection, you collect the data yourself using methods such as interviews and
questionnaires. The key point here is that the data you collect is unique to you and your
research and, until you publish, no one else has access to it.
I have tried to collect the data using methods such as interviews and questionnaires. The
41
Unstructured
key point here is that the data collected is unique and research and, no one else has access
to it. It is done to get the real scenario and to get the original data of present.
DATA COLLECTION TECHNIQUE
Questionnaire:
Questionnaire are a popular means of collecting data, but are difficult to design and often
require many rewrites before an acceptable questionnaire is produced. The features included
in questionnaire are:
Theme and covering letter
Instruction for completion
Types of questions
Length
Interview:
This technique is primarily used to gain an understanding of the underlying reasons and
motivations for people’s attitudes, preferences or behavior. The interview was done by asking
a general question. I encourage the respondent to talk freely. I have used an unstructured
format, the subsequent direction of the interview being determined by the respondent’s initial
reply, and come to know what is its initial problem is.
SAMPLING METHODOLOGY
Sampling technique:
Initially, a rough draft was prepared keeping in mind the objective of the research. A pilot study
was done in order to know the accuracy of the questionnaire. The final questionnaire was
42
arrived only after certain important changes were done. Thus my sampling came out to be
judgmental and continent.
Sampling Unit:
The respondents who were asked to fill out questionnaires are the sampling units. These
comprise of kartavyayogis of corporate Marketing Sahara India Pariwar, who had attended the
personality development workshop.
Sampling Size: 100
SECONDARY DATA
All methods of data collection can supply quantitative data (numbers, statistics or financial) or
qualitative data (usually words or text). Quantitative data may often be presented in tabular or
graphical form. Secondary data is data that has already been collected by someone else for a
different purpose to yours.
Need of using secondary data:-
1. Data is of use in the collection of primary data.
2. They are one of the cheapest and easiest means of access to information.
3. Secondary data may actually provided enough information to resolve the problem being
investigated.
4. Secondary data can be a valuable source of new ideas that can be explored later through
primary research.
Limitation of secondary data:-
1. May be outdated.
2. No control over data collection.
43
3. May not be reported in the required form.
4. May not be reported in the required form.
5. May not be very accurate.
6. Collection for some other purpose.

LIMITATION OF STUDY
45
In this field lots of research has been taken place but the exact cause or problem could
not be targeted.
As far as the question of motivation of customer is concern the research are not
showing the real picture and the level of customer in SAHARA FINANCIAL has not
been disclosed, so there is the need of study of this title .
Some investors' previous experiences are very bitter so it is a tough task to motivate
them for further investments in Bonds.
Some people are having very reserved nature & are not so open so they do not like to
share their views regarding their investments & experiences.
People have become very fear for investments in Bonds after the continuous
fluctuations in the share market.
People they like to invest in LIC. Then to motivate them for investments in becomes a
critical task.
Investors like to invest in which company which gives surety of return, as so to convince
them for investment in continuing Bonds product of SAHARA INDIA FINANCIAL is a
challenging task.
Some investors like to invest in those products which are giving maximum return in
fewer premiums.
46

the instruments because the most preferred by the investors for the purpose of investment. We
come to know that the majority of the people belong to fixed deposits. In this group about 24%
of people have shown a great faith for the investment.
Investors also able to attract in mutual funds because they want some tax benefit and other
type of flexible investments and of course more returns.
Some people have most trust in govt. securities (Bonds, Debentures etc.), Post Office savings,
and real estate and in PPF because they are not enough aware about of the mutual funds and
new financial plans related financial market. In the FD’s, Post office savings and govt.

Interpretation:
There is no. of factors which drive the investor to invest in a particular type of investment.
Every person do some investment according to their source of income for prevent the future
uncertainties.
The study shows that among all these options related to different annual income people whose
annual income between 1 Lac – 2 Lac(about 40%) and between 2 Lac – 5 Lac(about 31%) are
mostly attracted by the saving features of a particular security. This is the main reason while
investing in financial bonds because in this income group most are having enough money for
investments so they are generally risk takers. Generally people whose annual income is below
than 1 Lac they are also attract in this bonds. But the person whose annual income is above 5
Lac (about 9%) they are more interested in high earning areas like property, commodity and
equity market.

About 26% investors don’t have any interest in this sector. Although they have some bonds
policies but for investment they prefer high returning areas like stock market and real estate.

Interpretation:
The intention of the researcher here is to know about the feature of Bonds that inspires an
investor to invest their money into this business. Most of the investors invest (approx 28%)
their money for getting returns keeping in mind the concept of time value of money. Investor
who invest their money they also want the option of flexibility in terms of payment and liquidity.
Tax benefit is also another option which attracts investor to invest in Bonds, because in today’s
time some life FD’s plans give all these things according the need of the customer.

This study shows us that 67% of the people think that there should have chances of
improvement in the legal proceeding and documentation at the claim or maturity. They think

CONCLUSION
The Ground rules of Financial Investing
Moses gave to his followers 7 commandments that were to be followed till eternity. The world
of investments too has several ground rules meant for investors who are novices in their own
right and wish to enter the myriad world of investments. These come in handy for there is
every possibility of losing what one has if due care is not taken.
1. Assess yourself: Self-assessment of one’s needs; expectations and risk profile is of
prime importance failing which; one will make more mistakes in putting money in right
places than otherwise. One should identify the degree of risk bearing capacity one has
and also clearly state the expectations from the investments. Irrational expectations will
only bring pain.
2. Try to understand where the money is going: It is important to identify the
nature of investment and to know if one is compatible with the investment. One can lose
substantially if one picks the wrong kind of mutual fund. In order to avoid any confusion
it is better to go through the literature such as offer document and fact sheets that
mutual fund companies provide on their funds.
3. Don’t rush in picking funds, think first: one first has to decide what he wants
the money for and it is this investment goal that should be the guiding light for all
investments done. It is thus important to know the risks associated with the fund and
align it with the quantum of risk one is willing to take. One should take a look at the
portfolio of the funds for the purpose. Excessive exposure to any specific sector should
be avoided, as it will only add to the risk of the entire portfolio. Mutual funds invest with
a certain ideology such as the “Value Principle” or “Growth Philosophy”. Both have their
share of critics but both philosophies work for investors of different kinds. Identifying the
proposed investment philosophy of the fund will give an insight into the kind of risks that
it shall be taking in future.
57
4. Invest. Don’t speculate: A common investor is limited in the degree of risk that he
is willing to take. It is thus of key importance that there is thought given to the process of
investment and to the time horizon of the intended investment. One should abstain from
speculating which in other words would mean getting out of one fund and investing in
another with the intention of making quick money. One would do well to remember that
nobody can perfectly time the market so staying invested is the best option unless there
are compelling reasons to exit.
5. Don’t put all the eggs in one basket: This old age adage is of utmost
importance. No matter what the risk profile of a person is, it is always advisable to
diversify the risks associated. So putting one’s money in different asset classes is
generally the best option as it averages the risks in each category. Thus, even investors
of equity should be judicious and invest some portion of the investment in debt.
Diversification even in any particular asset class (such as equity, debt) is good. Not all
fund managers have the same acumen of fund management and with identification of
the best man being a tough task; it is good to place money in the hands of several fund
managers. This might reduce the maximum return possible, but will also reduce the
risks.
6. Do your homework: It is important for all investors to research the avenues
available to them irrespective of the investor category they belong to. This is important
because an informed investor is in a better decision to make right decisions. Having
identified the risks associated with the investment is important and so one should try to
know all aspects associated with it. Asking the intermediaries is one of the ways to take
care of the problem.
58
7. Find the right funds: Finding funds that do not charge many fees is of importance, as
the fee charged ultimately goes from the pocket of the investor. This is even more
important for debt funds as the returns from these funds are not much. Funds that
charge more will reduce the yield to the investor. Finding the right funds is important
and one should also use these funds for tax efficiency. Investors of equity should keep
in mind that all dividends are currently tax-free in India and so their tax liabilities can be
reduced if the dividend payout option is used. Investors of debt will be charged a tax on
dividend distribution and so can easily avoid the payout options.
8. Keep track of your investments: Finding the right fund is important but even more
important is to keep track of the way they are performing in the market. If the market is
beginning to enter a bearish phase, then investors of equity too will benefit by switching
to debt funds as the losses can be minimized. One can always switch back to equity if
the equity market starts to show some buoyancy.
