The Present business scenario is totally consumer oriented. Every company faces stiff

competition from its competitors, each provides the best product at competitive rates. As

a result customers have lot of choices to get the best with the least cost. To face this

competition, it is very important to know customer’s behavior, their needs, preference and

also the motivation factors.

India Infoline Securities Limited Provide its Expert service in share market Operations to

institutional Investors. Company is a Member of National Stock Exchange as well as

goodwill in the Market. Its strategies for marketing its services as well as developing a

good Relationship with its client has given an edge over the other service providers. India

very flexible organization and it gives equal opportunity to its young and energetic ste

comparative analysis done in this project show how India Infoline has built competitive

edge on some ground

The Project help you understand the strategies of this industry right from De-Mat to

Trading, Margin to analysis and risk to return. I hope this project prove to be beneficial

for the Company and also give the idea about the industry.I learnt a lot through out the

process of undertaking this project report.

To fulfill my task I had to visit the client personally who are dealing in share trading with

this company or some other broking house.

For this project I was assign the target of 10 accounts, for which I first generated the

database and made appointment with them and convert them in as traders of India

6

Page 7: Saddam, hussan project

Infoline Securities Limited, for this I have to convince them and explain the concept and

collect the Trading Form and a cheque of Rs. 10000 only.

After going through the exercise I found that IFL is one of the upcoming companies in the

Share Market, as the credibility of other companies are going down in the market and it is

the right time for the IFL to built its reputation in the market. The Main reason for IFL

low market share is because of local brokers in the market which a charging very less

Margin as initial investment for Trading in Stock Market.

But No doubt it is having lots of scope to grow in the financial Market, and I wish it is

having a shining future in the coming years.

HISTORY IN BRIEF

9

Page 10: Saddam, hussan project

India Info line originally incorporated on October 18, 1995 as PROBITY

RESEARCH AND SERVICES PVT LTD. at Mumbai under the

Companies Act, 1956 with Registration No.1193797, became a public

limited company on April 28, 2000.

The name of the Company was changed to India Infoline.com Limited on May 23,

2000 and later to India Info line Limited on March 23, 2001.

The objective was to provide unbiased and independent information to market

intermediaries and investors.

The quality of research was so good that soon it caught the imagination of all

major participants in the financial marketing.

In a very short period they started providing research report to consulting firms

like Mckinsey, companies like HUL, banks like Citibank etc.In 1999, the

company made all the research report free on the web and as a result the number

of user increases from mere a thousand to lacks in a very short period of time.

The company got the financial support from venture capitalists and private equity

investors. They raised US $ 1 million in first round and in March 2000 again US

$5 Million.In 2001, the company faced the worst situation. The dot com suffix,

which was sexiest to them suddenly, became the worst stigma.

The company was planning to set up a TV channel but circumstances forced them

to jettison the plan. IIL decided to narrow its focus on businesses where it could

leverage its core competencies to the maximum. The key business lines that

emerged were mutual funds, life insurance and E-broking.

10

Page 11: Saddam, hussan project

The company became heavily dependent on its e-broking businesses for survival.

The odds were against them. There was no money available from the private

equity investor at any valuation. All competitors were backed by institution or had

abundant capital.

The core promoters of the company had little experience of broking. To add to it,

the market was hit by a scam. They also had their share of price to pay and lessons

to learn. It was difficult to retain people. Although devastating for morale but not

surprising, the most market observers had written them off.There was a core group

who never lost hope. They cut all possible costs and worked on a bare bones

structure. They survived against all odds started capturing market share. Not

broking alone but mutual fund life insurance business also grew strongly.

The company rose from strength to become the leading corporate agent in life

insurance and among top retail players in mutual fund and broking space. It is the

first Company in India to foray into the online distribution of Mutual Funds.It is a

one-stop financial services shop, most respected for qualityof its advice,

personalized service and cutting-edge technology.

The No.1Corporate agent for ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company,

Research acknowledged by Forbes as

“Must Read for investor in South Asia.”

Listed on Bombay and National Stock Exchange with a net worth

of INR 200 Crore and a market cap of over INR 1970 Crore.

11

Page 12: Saddam, hussan project

In 2005, IIL came with an IPO and raised Rs. 75 Crores from the market. The

issue price was Rs. 76.The IPO was 7.22 times oversubscribed.

The company after that never looked back and started entire gamut of investments

products from risk free RBI bonds to high-risk, high rewards equities and also

mutual funds and life insurance. They also forayed into portfolio management

services and commodities broking, again leveraging upon their core competencies

in research and technology. In the last ten years, India Info line has faced

numerous ups and downs, but has never compromised on integrity.

They continue to ensure highest standards of corporate governance.

INDUSTRY

PROFILE

Page 22: Saddam, hussan project

ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDUSTRY

The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is known as the oldest exchange in Asia. It traces its

history to the 1850s, when stockbrokers would gather under banyan trees in front of

Mumbai’s Town Hall. The location of these meetings changed many times, as the number

of brokers constantly increased. The group eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and

in 1875 became an official organization known as ‘The Native Share & Stock Brokers

Association’. In 1956, the BSE became the first stock exchange to be recognized by the

Indian Government under the Securities Contracts Regulation Act.

The Bombay Stock Exchange developed the BSE Sensex in 1986, giving the BSE a

means to measure overall performance of the exchange. In 2000 the BSE used this index

to open its derivatives market, trading Sensex futures contracts. The development of

Sensex options along with equity derivatives followed in 2001 and 2002, expanding the

BSE’s trading platform.

Historically an open-cry floor trading exchange, the Bombay Stock Exchange switched

to an electronic trading system in 1995. It took the exchange only fifty days to make this

transition. Capital market reforms in India and the launch of the Securities and Exchange

Board of India (SEBI) accelerated the integration of the second Indian stock exchange

called the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in 1992. After a few years of operations, the

NSE has become the largest stock exchange in India.

Three segments of the NSE trading platform were established one after another. The

Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) commenced operations in June 1994 and the Capital

Market (CM) segment was opened at the end of 1994. Finally, the Futures and Options

segment began operating in 2000. Today the NSE takes the 14th position in the top 40

futures exchanges in the world.

22

Page 23: Saddam, hussan project

In 1996, the National Stock Exchange of India launched S&P CNX Nifty and CNX

Junior Indices that make up 100 most liquid stocks in India. CNX Nifty is a diversified

index of 50 stocks from 25 different economy sectors. The Indices are owned and

managed by India Index Services and Products Ltd (IISL) that has a consulting and

licensing agreement with Standard & Poor’s.

In 1998, the National Stock Exchange of India launched its web-site and was the first

exchange in India that started trading stock on the Internet in 2000. The NSE has also

proved its leadership in the Indian financial market by gaining many awards such as ‘Best

IT Usage Award’ by Computer Society in India (in 1996 and 1997) and CHIP Web

Award by CHIP magazine (1999).

The National Stock Exchange of India 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. In April 1993, it was recognized as a stock exchange under the

Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956. NSE commenced operations in the

Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment in June 1994. The Capital Market (Equities)

segment of the NSE commenced operations in November 1994, while operations in the

Derivatives segment commenced in June 2000.

Since the early 1950s till the early 1990s, Indian policy makers had been nourishing the

goal of Socialist pattern of society. They had been following the development planning

strategy of the former Soviet Russia in a mixed economic framework. From July 1991, in

the face of an unprecedented foreign exchange crisis, Indian economy started

experiencing an IMF-World Bank dictated regime of liberalisation.

One aspect of this is financial liberalisation. There is a move towards privatisation of

nationalised banks – these banks are selling their shares in the stock market.

23

Page 24: Saddam, hussan project

Transnational banks are encouraged to operate in the Indian banking sector. Attempts are

made to attract foreign direct investment in different sectors. There is an increasing entry

of foreign portfolio capital due to stock market liberalisation. People are encouraged to

invest in stocks through income tax benefits and abolition of capital gains tax. There is a

move to develop a national pension fund which will be invested in different stocks to get

returns out of which pension will be provided to retired people. It is expected that

boosting up of stock market will accelerate the process of capital accumulation and

growth.

Stock market development has been an important part of financial liberalisation in the

less developed countries (LDCs). In the pro-liberalisation circle, stock market is assigned

to play an important role in the capitalist development of LDCs.

There are many studies supporting the positive link between stock market development

and growth. Let us mention some of the recent studies. One important study was

undertaken by Levine and Zervos (1998). Their cross-country study found that the

Development of banks and stock markets has a positive effect on growth. In another study

Levine (2003) argued that although theory provides ambiguous relationship between

stock market liquidity and economic growth, the cross-country data for 49 countries over

the period 1976-93 suggest a strong and positive relationship (see also Levine, 2001).

Henry (2000) studied a sample of 11 LDCs and observed that stock market liberalisations

lead to private investment boom. Recently, Bekaert et al (2005) analyzed data of a large

number of countries and observed that the stock market liberalization ‘leads to an

approximate 1 % increase in annual real per capita GDP growth’.

There are some economists who are sceptical. Long time back Keynes (1936) compared

the stock market with casino and commented: ‘when the capital development of a country

becomes the by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done’.

24

Page 25: Saddam, hussan project

Referring to the study of World Bank (1993) Singh (1997) pointed out that stock markets

have played little role in the post-war industrialization of Japan, Korea and Taiwan. He

argued that the recent move towards stock market liberalization is ‘unlikely to help in

achieving quicker industrialization and faster long-term economic growth’ in most of the

LDCs.

In this perspective this study examines the nature of relationship between stock market

and growth through capital accumulation in India.

INTRODUCTION

OF STOCK

MARKET

29

Page 30: Saddam, hussan project

In most industrialized countries, a substantial part of financial wealth is not

managed directly by savers, but through a financial intermediary, which implies the

existence of an agency contract between the investor (the principal) and a broker or

portfolio manager (the agent). Therefore, delegated brokerage management is arguably

one of the most important agency relationships intervening in the economy, with a

possible impact on financial market and economic developments at a macro level.

As the per-capita-income of the city is on the higher side, so it is quite obvious

that they want to invest their money in profitable ventures. On the other hand, a number

of brokerage houses make sure the hassle free investment in stocks. Asset management

firms allow investors to estimate both the expected risks and returns, as measured

statistically. There are mainly two types of Portfolio management strategies.

● Passive Portfolio Strategy

● Active Portfolio Strategy

1. Passive Portfolio Strategy: A strategy that involves minimal expectation

input, and instead relies on diversification to match the performance of some

market index. A passive strategy assumes that the marketplace will reflect all

available information in the price paid for securities

2. Active Portfolio Strategy: A strategy that uses available information and

forecasting techniques to seek a better performance than a portfolio that is simply

diversified broadly.

INTRODUCTION TOWARDS THE TOPIC

31

Page 32: Saddam, hussan project

STOCK MARKET IN INDIA

The Indian security market has become one of the most dynamic and efficient security

markets in Asia today. The Indian market now conforms to International Standards in

terms of operating efficiency.During the latter half of 19th century, shares of companies

used to be floated in India Occasionally. There were share brokers in Bombay who

assisted in the floatation of shares of companies. A small group of stock brokers in

Bombay joined together in 1875 to form an association called Native Share &

Stockbrokers Association. The association drew up codes of conduct for brokerage

business and mobilizes private funds for investment in the corporate sector. It was this

association which later became the Bombay Stock Exchange, Mumbai or BSE.Later on in

1894 the brokers of Ahmedabad formed the Ahmedabad Stock Exchange, the second

stock exchange of the country. During the 1900s Kolkata became another major center of

share trading and as a result Kolkata Stock Exchange was form in 1908. Later on Chennai

Stock Exchange was started in 1920. However, by 1923, it ceased to exist.Then the

Madras Stock Exchange was started in 1937. Three more stock exchanges were

established before independence, at Indore in 1930, at Hyderabad in 1943.Thus along

with the increase in number of stock exchanges, the number of listed companies and the

capital of listed companies grown tremendously after 1985 which results into growth and

development of stock market in India.

32

Page 33: Saddam, hussan project

Indian Stock Market

Share or stock is a document issued by a company, which entitles its holder to be one of

the owners of the company. A share is issued by a company or can be purchased from the

stock market.

Share market where dealing of securities is done is known as share market. There are

two ways in which investors gets share from market:

Primary market: markets in which new securities are issued are known as primary

market. This is part of the financial market where enterprises issue their new shares and

bonds. It is characterized by being the only moment when the enterprise received money

in exchange for selling its financial assets.

Secondary Market: Market in which existing securities are dealt is known as

secondary market. The market where securities are traded after, they are initially offered

in the primary market. Most trading is done in the secondary market.

The Stock Market is an invisible market that trades in stocks of various companies

belonging to both the public and private sectors. The Indian Stock Market is often

referred to as the Share Market since it deals primarily with shares of various companies.

A Stock Exchange is a place where the stocks are listed and traded. Such exchanges may

be a corporation or mutual organization which specializes in the business of introducing

the sellers with the buyers of stocks and securities.

The Indian Stock Market in India comprises of two stock exchanges:

33

Page 34: Saddam, hussan project

● Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)

● National Stock Exchange (NSE)

BSE

The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) was established in 1875.The BSE India Stock

Exchange serves as the most important for companies to raise money. The chief function

of the Stock Market of India is to help raise money as capital for the growth and

expansion of various private and public sector enterprises. Besides, the Stock Market of

India provides able assistance to the individual investors through daily updates on current

position of the stocks of the respective companies that are enlisted in the Stock Index in

which the movement of prices in a section of the market are captured in price indices. The

popular acronym for Stock Index is Sensitive index or sensex. Moreover, the liquidity

provided by the exchange enables the investors to sell securities owned by them easily

and quickly. Hence a person, who is subjected to sudden dearth of funds, can immediately

sell his shares for cash in India Stock Market.

The BSE Sensex, also known as “BSE 30” is a widely used market index not only in

India but across Asia. In terms of volume of transactions, it is ranked among the top five

stock exchanges in the world.

34

Page 35: Saddam, hussan project

ABOUT BSE SENSEX

BSE SENSEX or Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive Index is a value-weighted index

composed of 30 stocks started in 01 of January, 1986. It consists of the 30 largest and

most actively traded stocks, representative of various sectors, on the Bombay Stock

Exchange. These companies account for around one-fifth of the market capitalization of

the BSE. The base value of the SENSEX is 100 on April 1, 1979, and the base year of

BSE-SENSEX is 1978-79. At irregular intervals, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)

authorities review and modify its composition to make sure it reflects current market

conditions. The index is calculated based on a free-float capitalization method; a variation

of the market cap method. Instead of using a company's outstanding shares it uses its

float, or shares that are readily available for trading. The free-float method, therefore,

does not include restricted stocks, such as those held by company insiders.The index has

increased by over ten times from June 1990 to the present. Using information from April

1979 onwards, the long-run rate of return on the BSE SENSEX works out to be 18.6%

per annum, which translates to roughly 9% per annum after compensating for inflation.

There are five major indices in BSE, thirteen sector specific indices and a BSE Dollex

Index for dollar prices and movements.

35

Page 36: Saddam, hussan project

NSE

The NSE's key index is the S&P CNX Nifty, known as the Nifty, an index of fifty major

stocks weighted by market capitalization. NSE is mutually-owned by a set of leading

financial institutions, banks, insurance companies and other financial intermediaries in

the NSE was US$ 1.46 trillion, making it the second largest stock exchange in South

Asia. NSE is the third largest Stock Exchange in the world in terms of the number of

trades in equities. It is the second fastest growing stock exchange in the world with a

recorded growth of 16.6%.

GROWTH AND PRESENT STATUS OF THE INDUSTRY

The ever-growing and fast-maturing 'India Market' is a lucrative business destination for

developed countries. With 7-8% of GDP growth, huge analytical, young and English

speaking work forces the ‘pull’ for opportunities are luring. The bandwidth of 'India

Market' is enviably wide and very deep.

'Markets in India' are well protected by legal guidelines and efficient administrators. With

a liberal and proactive government at the center the road ahead for 'Markets of India' is

very rosy. 'Market India' has witnessed exponential growth over past one and half decade.

Liberal and transparent financial policies have effected free-in-flow of FII and as a result

of which 'India Market' has grown to a colossal monster in the international market.

Foreseeing sure and substantial returns on investments (ROI) companies are pro- actively

listing on the stock market indexes. Government agencies once much hated for red tape

and bribes has shed its image. Professionalism is their new mantra. Public Enterprises like

IOC, ONGC, BHEL, NTPC, SAIL, MTNL, BPCL, HPCL and GAIL, SBI, LIC,

Hindustan Antibiotics Limited, Air India etc. to name a few, are giving Private Indian

companies a good run for their money. Private giants like Reliance Industries Limited,

Infosys, Tata, Birla Corporation, Jet Airways, Ranbaxy, Biocon, Bajaj Auto, ICICI are

breaking their own records every financial years.

'Markets in India' has witnessed meteorite rise of the Indian Software,

Telecommunication and Banking Industry. This has propelled growth of Urban Indian

class which, in turn has increased consumerism. Today, each and every type of industry

of 'Market India' like Infrastructure, Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology, Banking &

Insurance, Electronics, FMCG etc. has tremendous growth potential. Retail Industry

40

Page 41: Saddam, hussan project

along with Agriculture & Food industry are yet to contribute their share to the growth

story of 'Market India'.

Indian Equity Market at present is a lucrative field for the investors and investing in

Indian stocks are profitable for not only the long and medium-term investors, but also the

position traders, short-term swing traders and also very short term intra-day traders. In

terms of market capitalization, there are over 2500 companies in the BSE chart list with

the Reliance Industries Limited at the top. The SENSEX today has rose from 1000 levels

to 8000 levels providing a profitable business to all those who had been investing in the

Indian Equity Market. There are about 22 stock exchanges in India which regulates the

market trends of different stocks. Generally the bigger companies are listed with the NSE

and the BSE, but there is the OTCEI or the Over the Counter Exchange of India, which

lists the medium and small sized companies. There is the SEBI or the Securities and

Exchange Board of India which supervises the functioning of the stock markets in India.

Thus, the growing financial capital markets of India being encouraged by domestic and

foreign investments is becoming a profitable business more with each day. If all the

economic parameters are unchanged Indian Equity Market will be conducive for the

growth of private equities and this will lead to an overall improvement in the Indian

economy.

Indian Stock Market including both NSE-National Stock Exchange and the BSE-Bombay

Stock Exchange have certainly taken a tremendous beating in the past few weeks. We are

sure most of us here knew that the correction in the trading curve was round the corner

which would be healthy, and the markets would bounce back from 18k levels with the

help of mutual fund investments & buying of Indian stocks again. However the

anticipation went wrong, and the US recession story along with global and Indian

commodity prices have added fuel to the global equity market turmoil on a whole.

Future of the industry

The stock market is booming in spite of the low agriculture output. The monsoon is good

in an overall sense but still the question remains who takes the credit? The answer is the

karma of the people. I appreciate the Indian politicians and the industrialists who being

pawns of destiny are doing things positive and productive. India, as a country is running a

very good period and the position of planets in the transit are giving wonderful results.

Less than one percent of population own stocks and less than 1000 individuals control the

market, the majority being the FIIS, the promoters of the company. The credit should go

to media for making stock market headlines.

The question many people in the market ask:

Will the Bull Run continue? What heights we can reach?

First of all, mark my words Indian bourses in the future will be one of the best

investments in the world. There will be a time when it can even reach 3000 points in the

nifty. India will begin one of the best dasas of the Sun, which will work in its favor. So

before 2009 Indian bourses should see an all time high.

Now this Bull Run will continue.

• There can be some correction in the BSE sensex in the 7500 points level.

• The market will hover between the 6000- 7000 till mid august.

• There will be huge fluctuations.

Investors and new entrants to the market to cool down a bit and come well below 7000.

In any case if you are long terms players then step-in and buy now and forget for another

10 years. You will make a killing in the Indian markets.

Most of the tech companies and the main index will do well but slightly in the lower side

of expectations.

FINANCIAL SECTOR

The financial sector is in a process of rapid transformation. Reforms are continuing as

part of the overall structural reforms aimed at improving the productivity and efficiency

of the economy. The role of an integrated financial infrastructure is to stimulate and

sustain economic growth.

The US$ 28 billion Indian financial sector has grown at around 15 per cent and has

displayed stability for the last several years, even when other markets in the Asian region

were facing a crisis. This stability was ensured through the resilience that has been built

into the system over time. The financial sector has kept pace with the growing needs of

corporate and other borrowers. Banks, capital market participants and insurers have

developed a wide range of products and services to suit varied customer requirements.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has successfully introduced a regime where interest

rates are more in line with market forces.

Financial institutions have combated the reduction in interest rates and pressure on their

margins by constantly innovating and targeting attractive consumer segments. Banks and

trade financiers have also played an important role in promoting foreign trade of the

country.

43

Page 44: Saddam, hussan project

Banks

The Indian banking system has a large geographic and functional coverage. Presently the

total asset size of the Indian banking sector is US$ 270 billion while the total deposits

amount to US$ 220 billion with a branch network exceeding 66,000 branches across the

country. Revenues of the banking sector have grown at 6 per cent CAGR over the past

few years to reach a size of US$ 15 billion. While commercial banks cater to short and

medium term financing requirements, national level and state level financial institutions

meet longer-term requirements. This distinction is getting blurred with commercial banks

extending project finance. The total disbursements of the financial institutions in 2001

were US$ 14 billion.

Banking today has transformed into a technology intensive and customer friendly model

with a focus on convenience. The sector is set to witness the emergence of financial

supermarkets in the form of universal banks providing a suite of services from retail to

corporate banking and industrial lending to investment banking. While corporate banking

is clearly the largest segment, personal financial services is the highest growth segment.

The recent favorable government policies for enhancing limits of foreign investments to

49 per cent among other key initiatives have encouraged such activity. Larger banks will

be able to mobilize sufficient capital to finance asset expansion and fund investments in

technology.

44

Page 45: Saddam, hussan project

Capital Market

The Indian capital markets have witnessed a transformation over the last decade. India is

now placed among the mature markets of the world. Key progressive initiatives in

recent years include:

• The depository and share dematerialization systems that have enhanced the efficiency of

the transaction cycle

• Replacing the flexible, but often exploited, forward trading mechanism with rolling

settlement, to bring about transparency

• The infotech-driven National Stock Exchange (NSE) with a national presence (for the

benefit of investors across locations) and other initiatives to enhance the quality of

financial disclosures.

• Corporatization of stock exchanges.

• The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has effectively been functioning as

an independent regulator with statutory powers.

• Indian capital markets have rewarded Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) with

attractive valuations and increasing returns.

• The Mumbai Stock Exchange continues to be the premier exchange in the country with

an increase in market capitalization from US$ 40 billion in 1990-1991 to US$ 203 billion

in 1999-2000. The stock exchange has about 6,000 listed companies and an average daily

volume of about a billion dollars

• Many new instruments have been introduced in the markets, including index futures,

index options, derivatives and options and futures in select stocks.

45

Page 46: Saddam, hussan project

Insurance

With the opening of the market, foreign and private Indian players are keen to convert

untapped market potential into opportunities by providing tailor-made products:

• The presence of a host of new players in the sector has resulted in a shift in approach

and the launch of innovative products, services and value-added benefits. Foreign

majors have entered the country and announced joint ventures in both life and non-life

areas. Major foreign players include New York Life, Aviva, Tokio Marine, Allianz,

Standard Life, Lombard General, AIG, AMP and Sun Life among others.

• With competition, the erstwhile state sector companies have become aggressive in terms

of product offerings, marketing and distribution.

• The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) has played a proactive

role as a regulator and a facilitator in the sector’s development.

• The size of the market presents immense opportunities to new players with only 20 per

cent of the country’s insurable population currently insured.

• The state sector Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), the largest life insurer in 2000, sold

close to 20 million new policies with a turnover of US$ 5 billion.

• The gross premia for the insurance sector was US$ 13 billion for 2001-02.

• There are four public sector and nine private sector insurance companies operating in

general/non-life insurance business with a premium income of over US$ 2.58 billion.

• The market’s potential has been estimated to have a premium income of US$ 80 billion

with a potential size of over 300 million people. The General Insurance Corporation

(GIC) (which covers the non-life sector) had a total premium income of US$ 2 billion in

2001-02. This has the potential to reach US$ 9 billion in the next five years.

Venture Capital

Technology and knowledge have been and continue to drive the global economy. Given

the inherent strength by way of its human capital, technical skills, cost competitive

workforce, research and entrepreneurship, India is positioned for rapid economic growth

in a sustainable manner. To realise the potential, there is a need for risk finance and

venture capital (VC) funding to leverage innovation, promote technology and harness

knowledge based ideas.

• The Indian venture capital sector has been active despite facing a challenging external

environment in 2001 and a competitive market scenario.

• There were 34 VCFs and 2 Foreign VCFs registered with SEBI in March 2002.

• According to a survey conducted by Thomson Financial and Prime Database, India

ranked as the third most active venture capital market in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan).

It recorded 115 deals in 2001 with average investment per deal amounting to US$ 7.9

million. 57 VCFs invested US$ 908 million in 101 Indian companies during 2001.

• Disbursements for 2002 are expected to be US$ 2 billion and are estimated to reach

US$ 10 billion by 2007.

• There is an increased interest in India: 70 VC funds operate in India with the total assets

under management worth about US$ 6 billion.

• The amount has grown nearly twenty fold in the past five years. Most VCs believe that

2002-03 will be driven by a relatively stable economy and new initiatives that will boost

the e-commerce sector, particularly on-line trading and e-banking sectors.

STOCK BROKING SECTOR IN INDIA

The Indian broking industry is one of the oldest trading industries that has 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. In this section our purpose will be of gaining a deeper understanding

about the role of the Indian stock broking industry in the country’s economy.

What is meant by a Stock Exchange?

The Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956 [SCRA] defines ‘Stock Exchange’ as

anybody of individuals, whether incorporated or not, constituted for the purpose of

assisting, regulating or controlling the business of buying, selling or dealing in securities.

Stock exchange could be a regional stock exchange whose area of operation/jurisdiction

is specified at the time of its recognition or national exchanges, which are permitted to

have nationwide trading since inception. NSE was incorporated as a national stock

exchange.

48

Page 49: Saddam, hussan project

What is an ‘Equity’/Share?

Total equity capital of a company is divided into equal units of small denominations, each

called a share. The holders of such shares are members of the company and have voting

rights.

What is a ‘Debt Instrument’?

Debt instrument represents a contract whereby one party lends money to another on pre-

determined terms with regards to rate and periodicity of interest, repayment of principal

amount by the borrower to the lender. In the Indian securities markets, the term ‘bond’ is

used for debt instruments issued by the Central and State governments and public sector

organizations and the term ‘debenture’ is used for instruments issued by private corporate

sector.

What is a Derivative?

Derivative is a product whose value is derived from the value of one or more basic

variables, called underlying. The underlying asset can be equity, index, foreign exchange

(forex), commodity or any other asset. Derivative products initially emerged as hedging

devices against fluctuations in commodity prices and commodity-linked derivatives

remained the sole form of such products for almost three hundred years. The financial

derivatives came into spotlight in post-1970 period due to growing instability in the

financial markets.

49

Page 50: Saddam, hussan project

What is a Mutual Fund?

A Mutual Fund is a body corporate registered with SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of

India) that pools money from individuals/corporate investors and invests the same in a

variety of different financial instruments or securities such as equity shares,

Government securities, Bonds, debentures etc. Mutual funds can thus be considered as

financial intermediaries in the investment business that collect funds from the public

and invest on behalf of the investors. Mutual funds issue units to the investors. The

appreciation of the portfolio or securities in which the mutual fund has invested the

money leads to an appreciation in the value of the units held by investors. The

investment objectives outlined by a Mutual Fund in its prospectus are binding on the

Mutual Fund scheme. The investment objectives specify the class of securities a Mutual

Fund can invest in. Mutual Funds invest in various asset classes like equity, bonds,

debentures, commercial paper and government securities. The schemes offered by

mutual funds vary from fund to fund. Some are pure equity schemes; others are a mix of

equity and bonds. Investors are also given the option of getting dividends, which are

declared periodically by the mutual fund, or to participate only in the capital

appreciation of the scheme.

What is an Index?

An Index shows how a specified portfolio of share prices is moving in order to give an

indication of market trends. It is a basket of securities and the average price movement

of the basket of securities indicates the index movement, whether upwards or

downwards.

bonds, government securities, units etc.) in electronic form.

converted to an equivalent number of securities in electronic form and credited to the

investor’s account with his Depository Participant (DP)

What is meant by ‘Securities’?

1956, includes instruments such as shares, bonds, scrips, stocks or other marketable

securities of similar nature in or of any incorporate company or body corporate,

government securities, derivatives of securities, units of collective investment scheme,

interest and rights in securities, security receipt or any other instruments so declared by

the Central Government.

What is the function of Securities Market?

Securities Markets is a place where buyers and sellers of securities can enter into

transactions to purchase and sell shares, bonds, debentures etc. Further, it performs an

important role of enabling corporate, entrepreneurs to raise resources for their companies

and business ventures through public issues. Transfer of resources from those having idle

resources (investors) to others who have a need for them (corporate) is most efficiently

achieved through the securities market. Stated formally, securities markets provide

51

Page 52: Saddam, hussan project

channels for reallocation of savings to investments and entrepreneurship. Savings are

linked to investments by a variety of intermediaries, through a range of financial

products, called ‘Securities’.

Which are the securities one can invest in?

● Shares

● Government Securities

● Derivative products

● Units of Mutual Funds etc.

Why does Securities Market need Regulators?

The absence of conditions of perfect competition in the securities market makes the role

of the Regulator extremely important. The regulator ensures that the market participants

behave in a desired manner so that securities market continues to be a major source of

finance for corporate and government and the interest of investors are protected.

Who regulates the Securities Market?

The responsibility for regulating the securities market is shared by Department of

Economic Affairs (DEA), Department of Company Affairs (DCA), Reserve Bank of

India (RBI) and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

establishment of Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) with statutory powers

the securities market and (c ) regulating the securities market. Its regulatory jurisdiction

extends over corporates in the issuance of capital and transfer of securities, in addition to

Broking houses in India

India is a country having a big list of Broking Houses. The Equity Broking Industry in

India has several unique features like it is more than a century old, dynamic, forward

looking, and good service providers, well conversant, highly innovative and even

adaptable. The regulations and reforms been laid down in the Equity Market has resulted

in rapid growth and development. Basically, the growth in the equity market is largely

due to the effective intermediaries.

The Broking Houses not only act as an intermediate link for the Equity Market but also

for the Commodity Market, Foreign Currency Exchange Market, and many more. The

Broking Houses has also made an impact on the Foreign Investors to invest in India to

certain extent.

In the last decade, the Indian brokerage industry has undergone a dramatic

transformation. From being made of close groups, the broking industry today is one of the

most transparent and compliance oriented businesses. Long settlement cycles and large

scale bad deliveries are a thing of the past with the advent of T+2 settlement cycle and

dematerialization. Large and fixed commissions have been replaced by wafer thin

margins, with competition driving down the brokerage fee, in some cases, to a few basis

points.

There have also been major changes in the way business is conducted. Technology has

emerged as the key driver of business and investment advice has become research based.

At the same time, adherence to regulation and compliance has vastly increased. The scope

of services have enhanced from being equity products to a wide range of financial

services. Investor protection has assumed significance,.

SOME BASICS OF STOCK AND CAPITAL MARKET

The money you earn is partly spent and the rest saved for meeting future expenses.

Instead of keeping the savings idle you may like to use savings in order to get return on it

in the future. This is called Investment.

Why should one invest?

● Earn return on your idle resources

● Generate a specified sum of money for a specific goal in life

● Make a provision for an uncertain future

One of the important reasons why one needs to invest wisely is to meet the cost of

Inflation. Inflation is the rate at which the cost of living increases. The cost of living is

simply what it costs to buy the goods and services you need to live. Inflation causes

money to lose value because it will not buy the same amount of a good or a service in the

future as it does now or did in the past.

55

Page 56: Saddam, hussan project

What care should one take while investing?

● explaining the Obtain written documents investment

● Read and understand such documents

● Verify the legitimacy of the investment

● Find out the costs and benefits associated with the investment

● Assess the risk-return profile of the investment

● Know the liquidity and safety aspects of the investment

● Ascertain if it is appropriate for your specific goals

● Compare these details with other investment opportunities available

● Examine if it fits in with other investments you are considering

● Deal only through an authorized intermediary

● Seek all clarifications about the intermediary and the investment

● Explore the options available

What is meant by Interest?

When we borrow money, we are expected to pay for using it – this is known as Interest.

Interest is an amount charged to the borrower for the privilege of using the lender’s

money. Interest is usually calculated as a percentage of the principal balance (the

amount of money borrowed). The percentage rate may be fixed for the life of the loan,

or it may be variable, depending on the terms of the loan.

56

Page 57: Saddam, hussan project

What factors determine interest rates?

When we talk of interest rates, there are different types of interest rates - rates that banks

offer to their depositors, rates that they lend to their borrowers, the rate at which the

Government borrows in the Bond/Government Securities market, rates offered to

investors in small savings schemes like NSC, PPF, rates at which companies issue fixed

deposits etc. The factors which govern these interest rates are mostly economy related and

are commonly referred to as macroeconomic factors. Some of these factors are:

● Demand for money

● Level of Government borrowings

● Supply of money

● Inflation rate

● The Reserve Bank of India and the Government policies

What are various options available for investment?

One may invest in:

Physical assets like real estate, gold/jewellery, commodities etc.

Financial assets such as fixed deposits with banks, small saving instruments with

post offices, insurance/provident/pension fund etc. or securities market related

instruments like shares, bonds, debentures etc.

57

Page 58: Saddam, hussan project

What are various Short-term financial options available for investment?

Broadly speaking, savings bank account, money market/liquid funds and fixed deposits

with banks may be considered as short-term financial investment options:

Savings Bank Account is often the first banking product people use, which offers low

interest (4%-5% p.a.), making them only marginally better than fixed deposits.

Money Market or Liquid Funds are a specialized form of mutual funds that invest in

extremely short-term fixed income instruments and thereby provide easy liquidity. Unlike

most mutual funds, money market funds are primarily oriented towards protecting your

capital and then, aim to maximize returns

Fixed Deposits with Banks are also referred to as term deposits and minimum

investment period for bank FDs is 30 days. Fixed Deposits with banks are for investors

with low risk appetite, and may be considered for 6-12 months investment period as

normally

What are various Long-term financial options available for investment?

Post Office Savings Schemes, Public Provident Fund, Company Fixed Deposits, Bonds

and Debentures, Mutual Funds etc.

Post Office Savings: Post Office Monthly Income Scheme is a low risk saving

instrument, which can be availed through any post office.

Public Provident Fund: A long term savings instrument with a maturity of 15 years and

interest payable at 8% per annum compounded annually. A PPF account can be opened

through a nationalized bank at anytime during the year and is open all through the year

accrued is tax-free. A withdrawal is permissible every year from the seventh financial

year of the date of opening of the account and the amount of withdrawal will be limited to

58

Page 59: Saddam, hussan project

50% of the balance at credit at the end of the 4th year immediately preceding the year in

which the amount is withdrawn or at the end of the preceding year whichever is lower the

amount of loan if any.

Company Fixed Deposits: These are short-term (six months) to medium-term (three to

five years) borrowings by companies at a fixed rate of interest which is payable monthly,

quarterly, semi10 annually or annually. They can also be cumulative fixed deposits where

the entire principal along with the interest is paid at the end of the loan period.

Bonds: It is a fixed income (debt) instrument issued for a period of more than one year

with the purpose of raising capital. The central or state government, corporations and

similar institutions sell bonds. A bond is generally a promise to repay the principal along

with a fixed rate of interest on a specified date, called the Maturity Date.

Mutual Funds: These are funds operated by an investment company which raises money

from the public and invests in a group of assets (shares, debentures etc.), in accordance

with a stated set of objectives. It is a substitute for those who are unable to invest directly

in equities or debt because of resource, time or knowledge constraints

Market Research Analysis

Interpretation: This shows that although the mutual fund market is on rise yet, the most

favored investment continues to be in the Share Market. So, with a more transparent

system, investment in the Stock Market can definitely be increased.

Awareness of online share trading

Interpretation: With the increase in cyber education, the awareness towards online share

trading has increased by leaps and bounds. This awareness is expected to increase further

with the increase in internet education.

74

Awareness of India Info line Ltd in as a Brand

63%

37%

Yes -- 63%

No -- 37%

Interpretation: This pie-chart shows that India Infoline Ltd has reasonable amount of

Brand awareness in terms of a premier Retail Stock Broking Company. This brand image

should be further levered by the company to increase its market share over its

competitors.

Awareness of India Info line Ltd Facilities

20%

80%

Yes -- 20%

No -- 80%

Interpretation: although there is sufficiently high brand equity among the target

audience yet, it is to be noted that the customers are not aware of the facilities provided

by the company meaning thereby, that the company should concentrate more towards

75

Page 76: Saddam, hussan project

promotional tools and increase its focus on product awareness rather than brand

awareness

DEMAT Account Market

Interpretation: This shows that even with sufficiently high Brand Equity India Info line

Ltd ranks only 3rd amongst the Demat Account providers. This is probably because of two

main reasons.

1. Lack of promotion and unfocussed approach towards Product awareness.

2. Non – transparent marketing policies of the company.

Hence, the company should crystallize its products and should indulge in aggressive

marketing and promotion.

Satisfaction Level among Customers with Current Broker

76

Page 77: Saddam, hussan project

Interpretation: This pie-chart accentuates the fact that Strategic Marketing, today, has

gone beyond only meeting sales targets and generating profit volumes. It shows that all

the competitors are striving hard not only to woo the customer but also to make them

Brand loyal by generating customer satisfaction.

Interpretation: In spite of the huge returns that the share market promises, we see that

there is still a dearth of active trade and investors. This is because of non transparent

structure of the Indian share market and the skepticism of the target audience that is

generated by the volatility of the stock market. It requires efficient bureaucratic

intervention on the part of the Government.

Upto 50%--7%

Above 50%--3%

Interpretation: This shows that people invest only up to 10% of their earnings in

the stock market, again reiterating the volatile and non-transparent structure of

the Indian stock market. Hence, effective and efficient steps should be undertaken

to woo the customers to investment more in the lucrative stock market.

Interpretation: The survey indicated that people ranked India Infoline Ltd at the 3rd

position as an online stock broking company. Even after relatively low brokerages and

better services being provided in competitors, India Infoline Ltd is not at top spot because

of ineffective marketing and promotion strategies. Hence, the company should indulge in

to aggressive marketing and promotional methods and should approach this problem in a

more structured format.

SWOT ANALYSIS

79

Page 80: Saddam, hussan project

80

Page 81: Saddam, hussan project

A SWOT analysis focuses on the internal and external environments, examining

strengths and weaknesses in the internal environment and opportunities and threats in the

external environment.

STRENGTHS

SERVICE

As products of India Infoline Ltd is a extremely innovative product with very

less cost. Services like online trading facility, institutional and domestic broking,

81

Page 82: Saddam, hussan project

customized research reports with almost 80% efficiency etc give India Infoline Ltd an

edge over its competitors. India Infoline Ltd provides other support services that make

retail investors more confident and assured with their trading. SMS alerts (allowing

traders and investors to make the most of the available opportunities), Softer, intangible

features like imagery, equity driving preference. Through efficient trading processes

Investors can place their orders directly on the Internet, do all the information seeking and

basically own the investing process

Distribution Network

We have a growing network of 150 branches and more than 300 business partners spread

across 180 cities in India and a fully operational international office at London

OUR target is to have 350 branches and 1000 business partners in 300 cities of India and

more than 7 International offices by the end of 2006.

Unlike a traditional broking firm, India Infoline Ltd group works on the philosophy of

partnering for wealth creation.

Products

Company’s product line is quite flexible in the sense that there is a product for every kind

of investors. Also all the products cover all the loop holes of all the products offered by

the other competitors like low cost, user friendly online trading services etc.

Weakness

Branding

82

Page 83: Saddam, hussan project

Though the company has efficient products but large part of investment interested

population does not know the company. The most basic expectation for a trader or

investor when one begins trading is that one must get timely delivery of shares and

proceeds from sale of shares. Also ones cash balances with the broker must be safe and

secure. Though this confidence in the broker comes with time and experience, good and

transparent practices also play a major role in imbibing confidence in traders

Competition from Banks

Most of the banks due to good branding have the faith of the customers of their banking

database. So they enjoy the liberty of huge database and customers find it more reliable to

trade there rather than with a unknown broker. Also banks like HDFC Bank and ICICI

Bank have the advantage of linking the trading accounts of their customers to saving

accounts. This makes trading easier, and at the same time a trader withdraws exactly as

much money from his account as is needed to complete the trade. Similarly sales

proceeds are credited directly to saving account

OPPORTUNITIES

The external environment analysis may reveal certain new opportunities for profit and

growth.

Ever-Increasing Market

After the NSE brought the screen based trading system stock markets are now more

secured which has attracted lot of retail investors and the demand is increasing day by

day. This has resulted in improved liquidity and heavy volumes on transactions. India

Infoline Ltd is one of the early entrants here. As to how much it will roar and how swift it

83

Page 84: Saddam, hussan project

can swoop on the market, the future alone can answer such queries. India Infoline Ltd has

been a mega player and is known for being a mover of stocks. It is also known for putting

big deals through and enjoys good networking with the FIIs. It has been dynamic enough

to move with the times and capture the opportunities that the market throws up from time

to time.

Improving Technology

In country like India technology is always improving which gives the company a chance

to keep on improving their product with time whereas for the small players like local

brokers it will be difficult to keep the same pace as the changing technology. Also with

SEBI lying down some strict guidelines small brokers are finding it harder to retain the

customers with no research department and small capital. The traditional business model

is highly dependent on a large network of sub-brokers, and many established players may

not have systems (technology, customer service, etc.) capable of directly servicing so

many retail customers.

Unfulfilled Needs of the Customers

With so many competitors offering their products in the market but no one is able to

completely satisfy the customers. Some have the problem of lack of information or some

were scared of volatility of the stock markets. India Infoline Ltd has the opportunity to tap

this unsatisfied set of customers and to make hold in the market. The Internet serves to

break all barriers to information, as it offers an extremely hassle-free investing platform.

And, India Infoline Ltd hopes to fully utilize and capitalize on this platform. This original

idea by India Infoline Ltd itself was born out of the consumer's need for a more

transparent, easy to understand and convenient option of investing in stocks.

84

Page 85: Saddam, hussan project

Education Level

The education level in the country is improving year after year as far as technology goes.

With that the understanding of the stock market is also increasing and a lot of retail

investors are steeping in the markets which are being shown by increasing volumes,

transactions and indices.

85

Page 86: Saddam, hussan project

THREATS

New Competitors

A lot of new competitors are trying to enter the market in this bullish run to taste the

flavor of this cherry. This is creating a lot of competition for large players like India

Infoline Ltd and it is creating little confusion in the minds of the customers about the

services provided by the broker. Also many banking firms are entering into the market

with huge investment. Competitors like ICICI, kotuku; HDFC, 5-paisa etc. are posing a

lot of threats to the company.

Technology Based BusinessOnline trading is totally based on the technology which is quite complex. Typically, the

technology solution has to start from the Internet front-end (or the screen that you see

when you begin trading). Then it needs to get into the 'middle tier' of risk management

systems that assess data from banks and depository participants (DP), calculate client risk

at that point in time, and give the 'Go/No go' advice to the trade. So technology is a kind

of threat because unless until it is working properly it is good .s

86

Page 87: Saddam, hussan project

FINDINGS AND RESULT

87

Page 88: Saddam, hussan project

FINDINGS

During the “Customer Awareness about Share Trading” main points that came into focus

are:

Dematerialization is basic tool of share trading.

Equity fund is not complicated. It is clear and specific fund.

By the increase in demand of equity, company can get more profit.

The current knowledge is very compulsory and all the event occurring in the world

are also mention for better profit.

Market is uncertain and fluctuates by a tiny event.

88

Page 89: Saddam, hussan project

The analysis of all the stock market leads us to: Some findings and Result- While I was

doing the project I came across so many investors, I studied their behavior, Their

reactions, I studied various research reports, news articles, and from all that I could Find

out that each and every thing, whether a minute one or a big one, affects the Investors

decision and thus affect the share prices.

I have listed some factors in the report which affect the share prices, also I have

done a Technical analysis for the same, but what comes out at the end is that there are still

so many unnoticed factors which affect the share prices. This list is not exhaustive; still

there is so much which needs to be studied and I tried to cover as much as I could. From

the analysis, I could find out and conclude that, the Share Prices are affected by Each and

every factor in varying degree. The analysis shows that there is a very small impact of

Interest Income, Advances, Deposits, Borrowings and a slightly more impact of Bank

Nifty Index on Share Prices. It is so because there are N numbers of factors and it was not

possible to quantify each one of them and conduct the analysis, there were some technical

difficulties also which turn out to be the limitation of the project. But at the end of the

analysis we can ACCEPT THE HYPOTHESIS, as most of the factors, do affect the Share

Prices in some or other manner.

From the one and half month training at India Info line, I could get that

INVESTORS SENTIMENTS work out most for the market dynamics, this is the most

significant factor which affect Share Prices drastically in either of the direction. A latest

example I can quote is the post election result session on Monday, 18 May, 2009, when

Investors were happy that UPA government was back into power and the market jumped

thousand points up.

Talking about the investors, what I can suggest them from my study is that they

should be very careful while investing in the Stock Market. The market is simply

89

Page 90: Saddam, hussan project

UNPREDICTABLE. One should do a proper and detailed analysis before investing in

stocks. Bank’s shares are pretty safe, as I could find from the analysis. The Banking

Sector is ever growing and thus money invested in it would always give you good returns.

But still one should beware of the Market’s unpredictable up’s and down’s.

This report is of great help to the company and investors. They can use the

analysis and draw conclusions. Also they can do their own analysis if they want keeping

this Analysis as a base. They can use the tools and techniques to take decision and play

safe in the market.

90

Page 91: Saddam, hussan project

LIMITATIONS OF

THE STUDY

91

Page 92: Saddam, hussan project

Though the resources seem sufficient enough to achieve high standard for this

research, still we foresee the following limitations of study.

The Sector is very vast and it was not possible to cover every nook and corner of

this sector.

The objective which we want to fulfill in this project is really good, but the major

demerit to our study is the availability of time for our search and analysis, but then

also, I have tried my level best to show a glimpse of my Research in tune with the

objectives.

92

Page 93: Saddam, hussan project

CONCLUSION

93

Page 94: Saddam, hussan project

On the basis of the study it is found that India infoline is better services provider than the

other stockbrokers because of their timely research and personalized advice on what

stocks to buy and sell. India infoline provides the relationship manager facility for

encouragement and protects the interest of the investors. It also provides the information

through the internet and mobile alerts that what IPO’s are coming in the market and it

also provides its research on the future prospect of the IPO.

Study also concludes that people are not much aware of commodity market and while it’s

going to be biggest market in India. From the above survey and observation it is found

that most of the people who are trading in share market belongs to the employee group,

next comes the business men and other class of income people. As the share market value

goes on increasing day by day the investor who wants to invest in shares also increasing.

But investing in shares is as risky as earning yield.

Trading in online trading firm is easy as it all delivered with internet and within a few

minutes the customer can buy and sell shares which save time as well as reduction of

paper work. Hence trading in share market is increasing day by day and investors are

ready to invest their investment in share market only.

I got the knowledge about the customer’s needs and their references for having a

particular product. The need of customers differs from person to person, area, locality and

occupation. Customer always wants more service by paying less.

They expect all the information such less rates, less brokerages, highly returns and better

service level without delay.
