DEMATERIALIZATION: Dematerialization is the process of converting the physical form of shares into electronic form. Prior to dematerialization the Indian stock markets have faced several problems like delay in the transfer of certificates, forgery of certificates etc. Dematerialization helps to overcome these problems as well as reduces the transaction time as compared to the physical segment. The article discusses the procedures, advantages and problems of dematerialization. The Indian Stock markets have seen a major change with the introduction of depository system and scrip less trading mechanism. There were various problems like inordinate delays in the transfer of share certificates, delay in receipt of securities and inadequate infrastructure in banking and postal segments to handle a large volume of application and storage of share certificates .To overcome these problems physical dealing in securities should be eliminated . The Indian stock market introduced the system of dematerialization recognizing the need for scrip less trading. According to the Depositories Act, 1996, an investor has the option to hold shares either in physical or electronic form .The process of converting the physical form of shares into electronic form is called dematerialization or in short demats. The converted electronic data is stored with the depository from where they can be traded. It is similar to a bank where an investor opens an account with any of the depository participants. Depository participant is a representative of the depository .The DP maintains the investors securities account balances and intimates him about the status of holdings.

STOCK MARKETS IN INDIA: A stock market is a marketplace where organized exchange (buying and selling) of stocks or equities takes place. Indian stock markets are one of the most dynamic and efficient stock markets in Asia. In terms of the make up and overall dynamics, the Indian stock markets are at par with international standards. The two national

exchanges operating in India are the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). These exchanges are well equipped with electronic trading platforms and handle large volume of transactions on a daily basis.

DEFINATION OF STOCK EXCHANGE:

Stock exchange is an organized market place where securities are traded. These securities are issued by the government, semi-government bodies, public sector undertakings and companies for borrowing funds and raising resources. Securities are defined as any monetary claims (promissory notes or I.O.U) and also include shares, debentures, bonds and etc., if these securities are marketable as in the case of the government stock, they are transferable by endorsement and alike movable property. They are tradable on the stock exchange. So are the case shares of companies. Under the Securities Contract Regulation Act of 1956, securities’ trading is regulated by the Central Government and such trading can take place only in stock exchanges recognized by the government under this Act. As referred to earlier there are at present 23 such recognized stock exchanges in India. Of these, major stock exchanges, like Bombay Stock Exchange National Stock Exchange,Inter-Connected Stock Exchange, Calcutta, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore etc. are permanently recognized while a few are temporarily recognized. The above act has also laid down that trading in approved contract should be done through registered members of the exchange. As per the rules made under the above act, trading in securities permitted to be traded would be in the normal trading hours (09:15 A.M to 3.30 P.M) on working days in the trading ring, as specified for trading purpose. Contracts approved to be traded are the following: A. Spot delivery deals are for deliveries of shares on the same day or the next day as the payment is made. B. Hand deliveries deals for delivering shares within a period of 7 to 14 days from the date of contract. C.

Special Delivery deals for delivering of shares for specified longer periods as may be approved by the governing board of the stock exchange.

Except in those deals meant for delivery on spot basis, all the rest are to be put through by the registered brokers of a stock exchange. The securities contracts (Regulation) rules of 1957 laid down the condition for such trading, the trading hours, rules of trading, settlement of disputes, etc. as between the members and of the members with reference to their clients.

HISTORY OF STOCK EXCHANGE IN INDIA The origin of the Stock Exchanges in India can be traced back to the later half of 19th century. After the American Civil War (1860-61) due to the share mania of the public, the number of brokers dealing in shares increased. The brokers organized an informal association in Mumbai named “The Native Stock and Share Brokers Association in 1875”.later evolved as Bombay stock exchange.

Increased activity in trade and commerce during the First World War and Second World War resulted in an increase in the stock trading. The Growth of Stock Exchanges suffered a set after the end of World War. World wide depression affected them most of the Stock Exchanges in the early stages had a speculative nature of working without technical strength. After independence, government took keen interest to regulate the speculative nature of stock exchange working. In that direction, securities and Contract Regulation Act 1956 was passed, this gave powers to Central Government to regulate the stock exchanges. Further to develop secondary markets in the country, stock exchanges established at Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Indore. The Bangalore Stock Exchange was recognized in 1963. At present there are 23 Stock Exchanges. Till recent past, floor trading took place in all Stock Exchanges. In the floor

trading system, the trade takes place through open outcry system during the official trading hours. Trading posts are assigned for different securities where by and sell activities of securities took place. This system needs a face – to – face contact among the traders and restricts the trading volume. The speed of the new information reflected on the prices was rather than the investors. The Setting up of NSE and OTCEI (Over the counter exchange of India with the

screen based trading facility resulted in more and more Sock exchanges turning towards the computer based trading. BSE introduced the screen based trading system in 1995, which known as BOLT (Bombay on – line Trading. System).

Capital market reforms in India and the launch of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) accelerated the incorporation 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.

BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE: The Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (formerly, The Stock Exchange, Mumbai; popularly called The Bombay Stock Exchange, or BSE) is the oldest stock exchange in Asia. It is located at Dalal Street, Mumbai, India. Bombay Stock Exchange was established in 1875. There are around 5,600 Indian companies listed with the stock exchange, and has a significant trading volume. As of October2006, the market capitalization of the BSE was about Rs. 33.4 trillion (US $ 730 billion). The BSE SENSEX (Sensitive index), also called the BSE 30, is a widely used market index in India and Asia. As of 2005, it is among the 5 biggest stock exchanges in the world in terms of transactions volume. History: An informal group of 22 stockbrokers began trading under a banyan tree opposite the Town Hall of Bombay from the mid-1850s, 1875, was formally organized as the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).In January 1899, the stock exchange moved into the Brokers’ Hall after it was inaugurated by James M MacLean. After the First World War, the BSE was shifted to an old building near the Town Hall. In 1956, the Government of India recognized the Bombay Stock Exchange as the first stock exchange in the country under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act.1995, when it was replaced by an electronic (eTrading) system named BOLT,or the BSE Online Trading system. In 2005, the status of the exchange changed from an Association of Persons (AoP) to a full fledged corporation under the BSE (Corporatization and Demutualization) Scheme , 2005 (and its name was changed to The Bombay Stock Exchange Limited). BSE Sensex: The BSE SENSEX (also known as the BSE 30) is a value-weighted index composed of 30 scrips, with the base April 1979= 100. The set of companies which make up the index has been changed only a few times in the last 20 years. These companies account for around one-fifth of the market capitalization of the BSE. SENSEX, first compiled in 1986 was calculated on a "Market Capitalization-Weighted" methodology of 30 component stocks representing a sample of large, well-established and financially sound companies. The base year of SENSEX is 1978-79. The index is widely reported in both domestic and international markets through print as well as electronic media. SENSEX is not only scientifically designed but also based on globally accepted construction and review methodology. From September 2003, the SENSEX is calculated on a free-float market capitalization methodology. The "free-float Market Capitalization-Weighted" methodology is a widely followed index construction methodology on which majority of global equity benchmarks are based.

The growth of equity markets in India has been phenomenal in the decade gone by. Right from early nineties the stock market witnessed heightened activity in terms of various bull and bear runs. More recently, the bourses in India witnessed a similar frenzy in the 'TMT' sectors. The SENSEX captured all these happenings in the most judicial manner. One can identify the booms and bust of the Indian equity market through SENSEX. The values of all BSE indices are updated every 15 seconds during the market hours and displayed through the BOLT system, BSE website and news wire agencies. SENSEX calculation: SENSEX is calculated using a "Market Capitalization-Weighted" methodology. As per this methodology, the level of index at any point of time reflects the total market value of 30 component stocks relative to a base period. (The market capitalization of a company is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares issued by the company). An index of a set of combined variables (such as price and number of shares) is commonly referred as a 'Composite Index' by statisticians. A single indexed number is used to represent the results of this calculation in order to make the value easier to work with and track over time. It is much easier to graph a chart based on indexed values than one based on actual values. . BSE - other Indices: Apart from BSE SENSEX, which is the most popular stock index in India, BSE uses other stock indices as well: • • • • •

The floor of the stock exchange is divided into number of markets (pits) according to the nature of security deal in. The authorized clerk/broker goes to the pit and jobbers offer two way quotes for the scrips they deal in. they act as market makers and provide liquidity to the market. The system has been designed to get the bet lids and offers from the jobber’s book as well as the best buy and sell orders from the book. If the quotation is not acceptable to the brokers, he may make a counter bid/offer. Ultimately the bargains may be closed at a price mutually acceptable to both the parties. In case the quotation is not acceptable to him, the broker may go to another dealer and make a bargain. All bargains on the stock exchanges are settled by word of mouth and there is no written contract signed immediately by the parties concerned. Once the transaction is finalized, the deals are recorded in a Chaupri Rough notebook or transaction note or confirmation memos. Soudha block books or confirmation memos are provided by the stock exchange. The details are recorded in these books also. The prices at which different scrips are traded on a particular day published on the next day in the newspapers. An authorized representative of the stock exchange is also present in the hall to supervise the trading. PREPARATION OF CONTRACT NOTES

Usually, the authorized clerks enter the particulars of the business transacted during a particular day in ‘Kacha Sauda Book’ they are transferred to ‘Pucca Sauda Book’, which are maintained separately for the ready delivery contracts. Then the broker/authorized clerk prepares a contract note. A contract note is a written agreement between the broker and his client for the transaction executed. It contains the details of the contract made for the purchase/sale of Securities, the brokerage chargeable, name of the company, number of shares bought/sold, net rate, etc., it is prepared in a prescribed from and a copy of it is also sent to the client. PLACING ORDER WITH THE BROKER: 

The next step is placing an order for the purchase/sale of securities with the

broker. The order is usually placed over telephone, fax. It can also take the form of telegram or letter or in person. The order placed may be any of the following varieties (largely classified on the basis of price limits that it imposes.).  AT BEST ORDER (OR) BEST RATE ORDER: “Buy 1000 XYZ ltd.”, it does not specify any price. It means buy XYZ Ltd. Securities at the prevailing market price. These are executed very fast as there is no price limits.

 LIMIT ORDER: “Buy 100 XYZ Ltd. At Rs 100”, it is an order for the purchase of shares at a specified price by the client.(Rs 100)

 LIMITED DISCRETIONARY ORDER: “Buy 1000 XYZ Ltd., around Rs.100”. it gives discretion to the broker. The price can be a little above Rs 100. How much discretion is implied depends on how the broker and client define around.  OPEN ORDER: It is an order to buy or sell without fixing any time or price limit on the execution of the order.  STOP LOSS ORDER: “Buy 100 XYZ Ltd. @ Rs 12 to stop Rs 10”. It means buy 100 XYZ Ltd securities at the market rate of Rs. 12 but if on the same day the price falls to Rs. 10 immediately sell of the securities /shares. Thus an attempt is made to limit the loss of sudden unfavorable shift in the market.  NET RATE ORDER: “Buy 1000 XYZ Ltd. @Rs.30 net “would mean that the client is willing to buy 1000 XYZ Ltd. For no more than Rs.30 per security inclusive of brokerage payable to the broker. Net rate is purchase or sale rate minus brokerage.  MARKET RATE ORDER: Market rate is net rate plus brokerage for purchase and net minus brokerage for sale. So, “Buy 1000 XYZ Ltd. @Rs.30 market” would mean that the client is willing to pay Rs.30 plus brokerage for each security of XYZ Ltd. DISADVANTAGES OF MANUAL TRADING: 1) Manual records are very difficult to be maintained safe 2) Manual records are subject to greater human error 3) Business can see itself in fines and penalties if records are lost

4) Manual records are easier to be falsified, modified, altered or vanished, as compared to computerized records which become very safe when using passwords, firewalls, and back-ups. DEPOSITORY SYSTEM: A "Depository" is a facility for holding securities, which enables securities transactions to be processed by book entry. To achieve this purpose, the depository may immobilize the securities or dematerialise them (so that they exist only as electronic records).India has chosen the dematerialisation route. In India, a depository is an organisation, which holds the beneficial owner's securities in electronic form, through a registered Depository Participant (DP). A depository functions somewhat similar to a commercial bank. To avail of the services offered by a depository, the investor has to open an account with a registered DP.

BENEFITS OF DEPOSITORY SYSTEM: In the depository system, the ownership and transfer of Securities takes place by means of electronic book entries. At the outset, this system rids the capital market of the danger related to handling of paper. NSDL provides numerous direct and indirect benefits, like:



Elimination of bad deliveries-in the depository environment, once holding of

an investor are Dematerialized, the question of bad delivery does not arise i.e. they cannot be hold “under objection”. 

Elimination of all risks associated with physical certificates-dealing in physical

Securities have associates security risks of stocks, mutilation of certificates, loss of certificates during movements through and from the registrars, thus exposing the investor to the cost of obtaining duplicate certificates and advertisement, etc.., This problem does not arise in the depository environment. SERVICES AVAILABLE IN DEPOSITORY SYSTEM: NSE AND BSE.

NSDL: NATIONAL SECURITY DEPOSITORY LIMITED Although India had a vibrant capital market which is more than a century old, the paper-based settlement of trades caused substantial problems like bad delivery and delayed transfer of title till recently. The enactment of Depositories Act in August 1996 paved the way for establishment of NSDL, the first depository in India. This depository promoted by institutions of national stature responsible for economic development of the country has since established a national infrastructure of international standards that handles most of the securities held and settled in dematerialized form in the Indian capital market. Using innovative and flexible technology systems, NSDL works to support the investors and brokers in the capital market of the country. NSDL aims at ensuring the safety and soundness of Indian marketplaces by developing settlement solutions that increase efficiency, minimize risk and reduce costs. At NSDL, we play a quiet but central role in developing products and services that will continue to nurture the growing needs of the financial services industry. In the depository system, securities are held in depository accounts, which is more or less similar to holding funds in bank accounts. Transfer of ownership of securities is done through simple account transfers. This method does away with all the risks and hassles normally associated with paperwork. Consequently, the cost of transacting in a depository environment is considerably lower as compared to transacting in certificates.

Promoters / Shareholders NSDL is promoted by Industrial Development Bank of India Limited (IDBI) - the largest development bank of India, Unit Trust of India (UTI) - the largest mutual fund in India and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) - the largest stock exchange in India.

According to SEBI guidelines, financial institutions, banks, custodians, stockbrokers, etc. are eligible to act as DPs. The investor who is known as beneficial owner (BO) has to open a demat account through any DP for dematerialization of his holdings and transferring securities. The balances in the investors account recorded and maintained with CDSL can be obtained through the DP. The DP is required to provide the investor, at regular intervals, a statement of account which gives the details of the securities holdings and transactions. The depository system has effectively eliminated paper-based certificates which were prone to be fake, forged, counterfeit resulting in bad deliveries.

DEMATERIALIZATION

Dematerialization is a process by which physical shares of investors are converted to an equivalent number of Securities in electronic form and credited in the investor’s account with his Depository Participant.

form.

They can provide

and receive delivery only in a

Dematerialized form and share certificate will not be changed for these scripts. A depository is an organization where Securities of shareholder are held in the electronic form at the request of the shareholder through Depository Participant (DPs). The system is comparable to that in a bank. If an investor wants services offered by a depository, he would have to open an account with it through a DPsimilar to opening an account with any other branches of the bank in order to avail of its services. Dematerialization is a process by which physical certificates of an investor are taken back by the company/registrar and actually destroyed and an equivalent number of Securities are credited in the depository account of those investors. A Depository Participant is investor’s agent in the system. He maintains investor’s Securities account and intimates the status of holdings from time to time to the investor.

The securities on dematerialisation will appear as balances in the depository account. These balances can be transferred like the shares held in physical form. Dematerialised shares are in the fungible form and do not have any distinctive or certificate numbers .The securities in the demat can again be converted into physical form which is called as rematerialisation.

The Evolution of Stock Brokers with Online Trading An online stock broker is an investor’s means of buying and selling shares via the Internet, just like a regular stock broker, wherein an individual or a brokerage firm acts as one’s link to the stock exchange. Are such services necessary? Is it, after all, not true that anyone can engage in online trading today, and that it is possible to invest in stocks with one’s own computer? The fact is, only a registered (SEBI) stock broker can buy and sell shares in the stock market. Such an individual is registered on one or many stock exchanges and is authorized to transact on behalf of others. Apart from that, an online stock broker is very valuable to investors who are not

technically inclined and have no or little prior knowledge of stock trading. Such investors can use their own online stock trading accounts to obtain necessary information and place online trades at any time of the day. Others, however, still require a human interface - a real person who will place trades on their behalf. . INTRODUCTION TO ONLINETRADING The Internet revolution has been changing the fundamentals of our society. It shapes the way we communicate and the way we do business. It brings us closer and closer to vital sources of information. It provides us with means to directly interact with service-oriented computer systems tailored to our specific needs; therefore, we can serve ourselves better by making our own decisions. This prevailing shift of the business paradigm is reshaping the financial industry and transforming the way people invest. In the old days, because of the limitations of communications technology, Wall Street was the center for most of the Stock Exchange and Brokerage firms. Today, at this millennial transition, investors can use revolutionary Internet Client-Server technology to trade stocks nearly anywhere, anytime, independent of brokers' fees and service limitations.

PROBLEMS OF ONLINE BROKING There is a flip side to everything and online trading is no exception.

Chart

Source:- www.lse.co.in 27% Loyality is of traditional broker 23% people says that online trading is more costly than manual trading. 21% people not prefer online trading because of lack of knowledge.

So, the main problems of online trading are as follows: 1.) "Server not found": This may appear on one’s screens when he is desperately trying to get out of an unprofitable position. Some of the online sites are providing a telephone number for use in case their sites are overloaded or their server down. 2.) Connectivity of the Broker with NSE: Recently ICICI Direct had a connectivity problem with the NSE for two and halfhours during trading hours. This problem is rare but be alive to its possibility. 3.) Cyber attack: In the event of a malicious attack on the systems of one’s broker he is protected only if the company is taking proper precautions against such attacks and if proper backup is regularly been taken. He may like to choose a brokerage that has a stated security policy and contingency plan in place. 4.) Non-availability of a seamless interface: As a client one will access the NSE through a server of the online brokerage and this may involve queuing delays. If a number of client access the server the server takes its own time sending the orders to the NSE server. He must check out the seamlessness of this interface before selecting an online brokerage. The faster the orders are processed the more seamless is the interface. 5.) Non- availability of personalized advice:

If one like to ask his broker "Aaj kya achcha lag raha hai" he may not be able to do so. If he want advice on a particular stock in his portfolio he may not even be able to get that. 6.) Margin: If Internet trading alone is not fast and furious enough; many people are trading on margin. That is where the brokerage firm lends you money by leveraging his account, allowing him to buy a large amount of securities by putting up only a small amount of money. He may have forgotten what he read in the small print of his agreement, but the brokerage firm has the right to change the maintenance margin requirements without any warning or notice to him. In fact, the firm has the right to liquidate his securities holdings (and it can pick and choose which ones) without any notice to one if he fail to meet the margin call. And there he was leveraged to the hilt, hoping to hit a home run when he discovered that he is required to make a large deposit that he cannot make. The next thing one know, the firm is selling off his securities at a point in time that is not the best for him. These are the perils of trading on margin.

7.) Little use of advisory services: The advisory services being promised by the brokers would be of little use to investors looking for an insight into the market. Many would not like to rely on research reports, which are there for all. So, net investors will have to do their own research and take their own decision, whether wild or wise. 8.) Increased charges: Some of the brokers are of the view that they would have to provide advisory services to the customers. But with increased volumes, they will have to follow the international practice of charging a little more than the normal charges from a customer looking for personal advice.

WHY PEOPLE ARE BENDING TOWARDS ONLINE TRADING Several broking houses now offer online trading facilities. You can trade online with e-brokerages such as ICICI Direct, Kotakstreet, India bulls, India info line’s 5paisa.com and HDFC securities. If you are already comfortable trading with your regular broker, here are few reasons why you may consider switching to trading online, or at least another avenue of trading. an obvious advantage of online trading is that your transaction would be virtually paperless. Your trading account would be linked to your demat and bank account, ensuring a smooth transaction process. This is especially helpful in the extent T+2 settlement system, where you have just two days to settle your transaction. The normal process of issuing of delivery note, in case of a sale, or arranging for a payment in case of purchaser of shares, is all taken care of the minute your order is executed online. The absence of manual intervention ensures that you are completely in control of all transaction. There is also little room for error, as your order is always confirmed before it is executed. You can also make better decision as you have a clear record of all your previous transaction. When you trade offline, a demat statement is normally sent to you only on a quarterly basis .keeping track of your portfolio can be a hassle in such a case. The inter net can provide a new sense of control over your financial future. The amount of investment information available online is truly astounding. Its one of the best aspect of being a wired investor for the first time in history, any individual with an internet connection can: •

Know the price of any stock at any time

•

Follow market events in-depth

Convenience is probably the greatest advantage online trading offers investors. if don’t have time to trade during market hours ,perhaps you are at work, you can log on the web-trading site and place your order offline, during off market hours. Your order would join the queue and be expected the next day. You would need to enjoy a good relationship with your broker, for you to be able to reach him in the late hours. For non-resident Indians (NRI), trading online is perhaps their easiest option to invest in the Indian stock markets. What is more, the time difference, in some cases, can work to their advantage .Antony, an NRI-based in New York, places his order in the evening after work, when it is day time India and the markets are open. We also have access to considerable information online. By just logging on to ICICI direct online, for instance, we can get the latest news, market information and company research. Moreover, if our connection is maddeningly slow and we want to get your order executed immediately, most e-brokerages also provide a facility to trade offline by placing our order via the phone.

PROCEDURE FOR ON-LINE TRADING:

An Investor interesting in trading through Internet shall such as filling the account opening form of -broker, copies of identity proof have to, firstly

register himself with an Internet brokerage firm. Some formalities, copy of residence proof are made to register himself with the e-trader. Secondly, the investor would be required to open a bank account with a scheduled bank and sufficient balance should be kept in the account. Thirdly he would be required to open account with a depository participant because only dematerialized shares can be traded on Internet.

The client places order via the net by logging on to his Broker’s site. The broker accepts and executes the order and places it with the exchange

The exchange accepts the order after checking the share limit for the day.

The broker makes the payment either directly via the client bank account or pays through its own account and recovers it later from the client. The exchange receives money and completes the settlement. The client is intimated about the settlement either through the demat or via e-mail.

So, generally following steps are followed while doing the trading through the Internet:

Step-I: Those investors interested in doing the trading over Internet system, that is,NEAT - ISX (NSE), should approach the brokers and register with the Stock Broker. Step-2: After registration, the broker will provide to them a login name, password and a personal identification number (PIN). Step-3: Actual placement of an order, Using the place order window as under can then place an order: (a) First by entering the symbol and series of stock and other parameters such as quantity and price of the scrip on the place order window. (b) Second, fill in the symbol, series and the default quantity. Step-4: It is the process of review. Thus, the investor has to review the order placed by clicking the review option. He may also re-set to clear the values. Step-5: After the review has been satisfactory; the order has to be sent by clicking on the send option. Step-6: The investor will receive an "Order Confirmation" 'message along with the order number and the value of the order. Step- 7:In case the order is rejected by the Broker or the Stock Exchange for certain reasons such as invalid price limit, an appropriate message will

appear at the bottom of the screen. At present, a time lag of about ten seconds is there in executing the trade. Step-8: It is regarding charging payment, for which there are different modes.

When was online trading introduced in INDIA? Online trading started in India in February 2000 when a couple of brokers started offering an online trading platform for their customers.

Receives the money and completes the settlement

a) Independence and freedom due to enjoyed by an individual access to the markets: This is conceivably the greatest advantage of online brokerages. A novice investor with an Internet connection can know there all time stock quotes, historical stock price trends, have a handle on market events, access vast amounts of economic and market analysis, do research on firms, and interact with other investors via forums or chat rooms. This, in combination with time, can transform even the most novice investor with an active interest in investments into a knowledgeable and powerful investor. b) Elimination of the “middle man”: Investing online gives the investor a sense of control over their wealth. Buying and selling of stock no longer requires another individual to carry it out. It saves the investor the added worries that come with busy phone lines; broker not being in, etc. when wanting to do an important trade. It can be done whenever and wherever by the Investor themselves. c) Elimination of Losses on account of Brokers: Most brokers live on commissions, hence the tactics used by them are in the favor of the broker first, the brokerage house next and finally the client. Online brokerages pay financial advisors a fixed salary, thus eliminating the chance for an investor doing unnecessary trades for the benefit of the brokerage firm and the broker. d) Inexpensive and affordable commission charges: Commissions per trade online are much lower than when compared to that charged by traditional brokerage houses like Merrill Lynch, etc. This is the fulcrum on which online brokerages leverage. Cheap transaction costs along with the immense amount accessible online are the biggest reasons for the clients to move online. Traditional brokerage houses e) Internet as an InformationSuperhighway: Information related to stocks, company Fundamentals, etc., which were once only available to licensed brokers, are now at the finger tips of anyone and everyone. Online brokerages are inconstant endeavor to bridge the gap between the investor and the market. f) Diverse range of investment products and choices: Online brokerages are offering more Products to the consumer, so as to give the consumer a wider choice and also to accommodate consumers that have niche tastes. Investors can invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, mortgages. g) Speed of trade execution: Keeping time in mind, online trading is much quicker – as far as accessibility and availability to investment information and execution of trades areconcerned. Online have decreased the time for total completion of a trade from the regular T+3 days to a matter of minutes. The costs borne by an Individual Investor from Online Investing a) Technical Reliability: The greatest disadvantage of online trading is the inability of a network to be fail-safe. Computers in spite of the technological advances are by no means perfect. There are various things that could go wrong like failure to log on to the network, network blackout due to failure power, server crash resulting in site failure, traffic overload thus causing site freeze. Site freeze can happen on extremely demanding days with large amounts of orders going over the networks.

b) The investor is alone: Another disadvantage may be the penalty of a bad investment. The do it yourself attitude that empowers the investor over his own money, can give a sense of autonomy previously not experienced when dealing with traditional brokerages. But it can also spell investment failure.

The Limitations of Online Investing to an individual investor: Besides advantages and disadvantages, there exists the possibility of limitations of what online brokerages can do for an individual investor. Though the Internet has allowed more players into the investment playing field, some investors like the institutional investors still have an advantage over the individual investors in spite of the Internet and all its advantages. It can be assertively said, “Size does matter”. Firstly, because of the sheer size of resources and contacts, institutional investors almost always get exclusive access to the hottest Initial Public Offering (IPO) deals before it goes into the markets. Individual investors usually gain access to these stocks after the initial price gain is already lost. Online brokerages do offer IPO deals –provided the trading account has between $100,000 to $500,000.

Client Broker Relationship Know Your Client: The stock Exchange must ensure that brokers have sufficient, verifiable information about clients, which would facilitate risk evaluation of clients.

Broker- Client Agreement: Brokers must enter into an agreement with clients spelling out all obligations and rights. This agreement should also inter alia, the minimum service standards to be maintained by the broker for such service specified by SEBI/Exchange for the internet based trading from time to time. Exchange will prepare a model agreement for this purpose. The broker agreement with clients should not have any clause that is less stringent/contrary to the conditions stipulated is the model agreement.

Investor Information:

The broker web site providing the internet based trading facility should contain information meant for investor protection such as rules and regulations affecting client broker relationship arbitration rules, investor protection rules etc. The broker web site providing the Internet based trading facility should also provide and display prominently, hyper link to the web site/page on the web site of the relevant stock exchange (s) displaying rules/ regulations/ circulars. Ticker/quote/order book displayed on the web-site of the broker should display the time stamp as well as source of such information against the given information.

Order/Trade Confirmation: Order/Trade confirmation should also be sent to the investor through email at client’s discretion at the time specified by the client in addition to the other made of display of such confirmation of real time basis on the broker web site. The investor should be allowed to specify the time interval on the web site itself within which he would like to receive this information through email. Facility for reconfirmation of orders which are larger than that specified by the member's risk management system should be provided on the internet based system.

Handling Complaints by Investors: Exchanges should monitor complaints from investors regarding service provided by brokers to ensure a minimum level of service. Exchange should have separate cell specifically to handle Internet trading related complaints. It is desirable that exchanges should also have facility for on-line registration of complaints on their web site.

Risk Management: Exchanges must ensure that brokers have a system-based control on the trading limits of clients, and exposures taken by clients. Brokers must set predefined limits on the exposure and turnover of each client. The broker systems should be capable of assessing the risk of the client as soon as the order comes in. The client should be informed of acceptance/rejection of the order within a reasonable period. In case system based control rejects an order because of client having exceeded limits etc.,

the broker system may have a review and release facility to allow the order to pass through.

Contract Notes: Contract notes must be issued to clients as per existing regulations, within 24 hours of the trade execution.

Cross Trades: As a matter of abundant precaution, the committee seeks to reiterate that as III the case of existing system, brokers using Internet based systems for routing client orders will also not be allowed to cross trades of their clients with each other. All orders must be offered to the market for matching. It is emphasized that in addition to the requirements mentioned above, all existing obligations of the broker as per current regulation will continue without changes. Exchanges may also like to specify more stringent standards as they may deem fit for allowing Internet based trading facilities to their brokers.

Enforcement: A separate working group has been set to look into the surveillance and enforcement related issues arising due to Internet based securities trading. However, general anti-fraud provisions (SEBI Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices Regulations, 1995) would apply to all transactions involving securities or financial services, regardless of the medium. STOCK MARKET TRADING ON INTERNET The major events that will take place in the Indian Capital Market are introduction of index-based futures trading on internet. Trading on internet means that the investor’s will actually buy and sell the stocks on-line through the net. A committee was setup by SEBI to develop regulatory parameters for use internet trading. SEBI approved the report on the committee. SEBI decided that internet trading could take place in India within the existing legal framework through use of order routing system, which will route order from client to brokers, for trade execution on registered stock exchanges. The broad also took note of the recommended minimum technical standards for ensuring safety and security of transaction

between clients and brokers, which will be forced by the respective stock exchanges. Easier transaction processing Profit in time: Investor can make profits by selling shares when the going is good. They do not have to instruct their brokers on the cut off price to sell shares. Ease and transparency: Since the broking, bank and demat account are all electronically connected, all transaction get updated, demat account shows the latest stockholding statement while the bank account shows the balance amount after buying or selling of shares. Precaution: Check for hidden costs of broker’s age. Beware of net seamstress. Never double click the mouse during execution of trade avoids cyber cafes and change password regularly. Less fees: shares traded online require no human intervention to match buys and sells. This means that commission costs are cut dramatically for the frequent investor.

Research can be defined as the systematic and objective process of gathering, recording and analyzing data for aid in making business decisions. There are basically two techniques adopted for obtaining information:

Primary Data. Secondary Data.

Primary Data is gathered specifically for the project at hand through personal interviews with the accounts officers. Secondary data is previously collected and assembled for some project other than the one at hand. It is gathered and recorded by someone else prior to current needs of the researcher. It is less expensive than the primary data. SECONDARY DATA

CONCLUSION

Online trading is the new concept in the stock market. In India, online trading is still at its infancy stage. Online trading has made it easy to trade in the stock market as now people can trade while sitting at their home. Now stock market is easily accessible by the people. There are some problems while doing the trade through the internet. Major problem faced by online trader is that the investors are loyal to their traditional brokers, they rely upon the suggestions given by their brokers. Another major problem is that the people don't have full knowledge regarding online trading. They find it difficult to trade themselves, as a wrong entry made by them, can bring them huge losses.

Nevertheless to say that online trading has the bright future as the percentage of the trade done through online trading is increasing day by day.

LIMITATIONS

Despite of the training my level best, there were still some limitation which I think remains there to draw fruitful conclusion. There were some practical problem which come across and could not be properly death with

 The advisory services being promised by the brokers would be of little use to investors looking for an insight into the market.

 As a client one will access the NSE through a server of the online brokerage and this may involve queuing delays

 If one like to ask his broker "Aaj kya achcha lag raha hai" he may not

be able to do so. If he want advice on a particular stock in his portfolio he may not even be able to get that.

Suggestions

The introduction of the Internet has surprisingly changed our way of life as a society. It has defined the way we do business and the way we correspond. The Internet has opened many opportunities for online trading. The financial industry revolves around the Internet. Every thing is just a few clicks away. This makes online trading most convenient. But there are still investors who prefer the old fashion way of offline trading and they mainly prefer offline trading for security reasons. Internet has introduced a way for consumers to manage their money online. Not to mention, Internet has transformed the way investment companies operate their business and has made it easy for private investors to gain straight access to a range of different markets and online tools that were at one point only reserved by the use of investment professionals. Consumer investing and online trading has dramatically changed over the last decade. Online trading dynamically continues to be redefined. Services have expanded to include integrated management of additional financial accounts. Not to mention, it has subsequently expanded in conjunction with ground-breaking improvements to the traditional trading interface, such as telephone interface systems. Of course, online trading has many pros. There are several wonderful reasons to invest online and consider online trading.

1. Money saving opportunities The amount of money you save depends primarily on the online brokerage firm that you choose. No two firms are the same. There may be different regulations, similar to bank regulations. There are minimum deposits required that must be maintained. As mentioned above, this will depend on the online brokerage firm. 2. Instant online access You can gain instant access to your account, the value of your portfolio updates immediately before your eyes. 3. Enter online trades at anytime You can enter online trades at anytime and from anywhere. This is very convenient if you live in a different time zone than the country you are trading in. Not to mention, it is especially fit for investors with busy schedules. 4. With online trading you are in charge You are in control of your investments. No sales pitches and no hassle. You decide where to invest your money.
