In addition, there are 22 Regional Stock Exchanges. However, the BSE and NSE have established themselves as the two leading exchanges and account for about 80% of the equity volume traded in India. The NSE and BSE are equal in size in terms of daily traded volume. <br />The average daily turnover at the exchanges has increased from Rs851crore in 1997-98 to Rs1284crore in 1998-99 and further to Rs2273crore in 1999-2000. NSE has around 1500 shares listed with the total market capitalization of around Rs9, 21,500crore.<br />The BSE has over 6000 stocks listed and has a market capitalization of around Rs9, 68,000crore. Most key stocks are traded on both the exchanges and hence the investor could buy on either of the exchanges. Both exchanges have a different settlement cycle, which allows investors to shift their position on the bourses. The primary index of BSE in BSE Sensex comprises 30 stocks. NSE has the S&P NSE 50 Index (Nifty), which consists of fifty stocks. The BSE Sensex is the older and most widely followed index. Both these indices are calculated on the basis of market capitalization and contain the heavily traded shares from key sectors. <br />-76200157480<br />The markets are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Both the exchanges have switched over from the open outcry trading system to a fully automated computerized mode of trading known as BOLT (BSE On Line Trading) and NEAT (National Exchange Automated Trading) system. It facilitates more efficient processing, automatic order matching, faster execution of trades and transparency. <br />The scrip traded on the BSE has been classified into ‘A’, ‘B1’, ‘B2’, ‘C’, ‘F’, and ‘Z’ groups. The ‘A’ group shares represent those, which are in the carry forward system (Badla). The ‘F’ group represents the dept market (fixed income securities) segment. The ‘Z’ group scrip is the blacklisted companies. The ‘C’ group covers the odd lot securities in ‘A’, ‘B1’, & ‘B2’ groups and Rights renunciations. The key regulator governing Stock Exchanges, Brokers, Depositories, Depository participants, Mutual Funds, FIIs and other participants in Indian secondary and primary market is the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Limited.<br /> <br /> Financial Market <br />MONEY MARKET:<br /> The Money Market refers to the market where borrowers and lenders exchange short-term funds to solve their liquidity needs.<br />CAPITAL MARKET:<br />The Capital Market is a market for financial investments that are direct or indirect claims to capital (Gart, 1988).<br />SECURITIES MARKET:<br />It refers to the markets for those financial instruments/claims/obligations that are commonly and readily transferable by sale. It has two inter-dependent and inseparable segments, the new issues (primary) market and the stock (secondary) market.<br />Primary Market<br />Securities generally have two stages in their lifespan. The first stage is when the company initially issues the security directly from its treasury at a predetermined offering price. This is a primary market offering. It is referred to as the Initial Public Offering (IPO). In Primary market, securities are offered to public for subscription for the purpose of raising capital or fund.<br />Secondary Market<br />Secondary market refers to a market where securities are traded after being initially offered to the public in the primary market and listed on the Stock Exchange. Majority of the trading is done in the secondary market. Secondary market comprises of equity markets and the debt markets. <br /> <br /> <br /> Company Profile of Microsec<br />Microsec endeavors to provide services in the arena of Financial Services which includes Equity & Derivatives Trading on NSE and BSE, Commodities Trading on MCX & NCDEX, Investment Banking, Insurance, Depository Services, Portfolio Management Services, Mutual funds-SIP, Mediclaim.<br />Microsec Capital Limited has its principal offices in Kolkata and Mumbai with another 250(app.) business locations in 49 Indian Cities/Towns in 13 States.

Today, practically 99.9% settlement (of shares) takes place on De-mat mode only. Thus, it is advisable to have a Beneficiary Owner (BO) account to trade at the exchanges.<br />Benefits Of De-mat Account:<br />A safe and convenient way of holding securities. (equity and debt instruments both). Transactions involving physical securities are costlier than those involving dematerialized securities (just like the transactions through a bank teller are costlier than ATM transactions). Therefore, charges applicable to an investor are lesser for each transaction. Securities can be transferred at an instruction immediately. Increased liquidity, as securities can be sold at any time during the trading hours (between 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM on all working days), and payment can be received in a very short period of time. No stamp duty charges. Risks like forgery, thefts, bad delivery, delays in transfer etc, associated with physical certificates, are eliminated. Pledging of securities in a short period of time. Reduced paper work and transaction cost. Odd-lot shares can also be traded (can be even 1 share). Nomination facility available. Any change in address or bank account details can be electronically intimated to all companies in which investor holds any securities, without having to inform each of them separately. Securities are transferred by the DP itself, so no need to correspond with the companies. Shares arising out of bonus, split, consolidation, merger etc. are automatically credited into the De-mat account of the investor. Shares allotted in public issues are directly credited into De-mat account of the applicants in quick time. <br />Is a demat account a must?<br />Now a day, practically all trades have to be settled in dematerialized form. Although the market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has allowed trades of up to 500 shares to be settled in physical form, nobody wants physical shares any more. So a de-mat account is a must for trading and investing.<br /> Different Players in the Industry<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Activation and other Charges of firms<br />COMPANYA/c OpeningChargesBrokerage(Intraday,Delivery)AMCTrading ExposureInterest RateDebit PeriodMode of TradingMargin MoneySoftware usedMicrosec Capital LtdNIL3p,30pRs350pa5 times18%T+2Online/OfflineRs5000NOWSharekhanNIL5p,50p1st yr free, 2nd yrRs4004-6 times19%T+4Online/OfflineRs5000ICICI DirectRs75050p,75pRs500pa3-4 times18%T+2Online/OfflineNILAccesed through netIndiabullsRs9003-4p,30-40pNIL4-5 times17%T+2Online/OfflineNILPower India BullsAngel brokingRs6603p,20pRs2254-6 times18%T+2Both online/OfflineRs5000/10,000<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Data Analysis<br />Primary Data collection<br /> Structured questionnaire for customer.<br />Secondary Data Collection<br /> Journals<br />Websites<br />News papers<br />Research Approach<br />Descriptive approach<br />Techniques to be used in Research Approach<br />Survey and Interview<br /> <br />Data Findings<br />Total Sample Size : 82 Male : 47<br /> Female : 35 <br />Online/Offline Trading <br />Investment Product Preference <br />Mode Of Awareness <br /> <br />Preference for Broking Firm <br /> <br />Findings<br />According to the data that have been collected all the people who were surveyed are aware of share market and trading.
