PREFACE
MBA is a professional course wherein for a student to posses only theoretical knowledge alone is not enough but also to improve practical skill which is helpful to them in every field of life in their future. Students need to have a practical implementation in the current scenario. I felt that this unit is being run superbly by excellent management teams and employee co-operation. It is my pleasure to present work after I had finished my training at RELIGARE. This training has expanded my horizon of knowledge in practical as well as theoretical which are vital for any student in management level studies. After completion of this training I come to know that when we study theory but practice it is very difficult to understand. Therefore to serve dual purpose of practical training has been made compulsory for the student of MBA. Such training promotes a student to boost his potentials and the inner qualities, and thereby students come to know about their reality that how the theoretical knowledge works in actual sense in any unit. This has indeed proved to be very useful to me. All information furnished here are correct and true according to me, and sincerely apologize if incorrect data.

What is stock ?
Imagine that you own a business. If you were to divide that business up in two small pieces and sell those pieces, you would essentially have issued stock.Quite simply, stock is ownership in a company . The money you raise from selling those pieces of business can be used to build new plants and facalities, pay down debt, or acquire another company. A smart owner will keep at least 51% of the stock, which will allow them to retain control of the day to day activities. Any person or institution that owns over majorities of the stock is called the controlling shareholder.Essentially, this person can do anything they want right down to firing the CEO. In financial market , stock is the capital raised by an organization through the issuance and distribution of shares.A person or organization which holds shares of stocks is called a shareholder.Thecs aggragrate value of a company s issued shares is its market capitalization. Stock is simply apportion of a company . By owing stock, You are a shareholder. Stocks are bought and sold on stock exchanges, such as the BSE & NSE. Usually stock is issued to raise money for a variety of reasons:expansion ,developing new products ,to pay off debt and acquiring other companies.When a company issues stock for the first time, it is called an initial public offerings or IPO.An IPO is underwritten by an investment banker that decides what the stock is worth and when it is best to issue it. Volatility is when a stock price goes up or down. Usually, stock prices rise and fall with supply and demand. Nonetheless, there are other reasons for stock prices to fluctuate.The price will rise when every one wants the stock and is buying it, however mass sales will also drive a price in the negative direction. Price will drop when a particular industry takes a fall, when the economy has a general downturn, when the company management is falling, or when there is too much debt. Professional analysts and investment bankers who issue buy/sell hold ratings also affect the price.
11
How does one buy stock ?

Buying stocks is not as simple as walking into a stockbrokerss office and buying shares like one would a pair of shoes from a store. One are required to open an account with the brokerage, like opening an account at a bank. Some brokers will allow one to open an account with very little money. The firm will then hold this money in an interest earning cash account, waiting for orders to buy or sell stock, or other securities such as bonds or mutual funds.When he buys or sell , you pay a commission , which is deducted , from his account.When a stock is purchased , the ownership of the shares may be listed in one of two ways.Liste means how the corporation tracks the ownership of their stock. If one chooses to have the stock listed in his name, he will receive the actual stock certificate .Most investors choose to have the ownership listed in the brokers name, called held in street name , with the broker keeping track of whose trading account the stock actually belongs to. The benefits are reduced paperwork , consolidated portfolio statements , no concerns about storing and processing the paper certificates and the ability to instantly sell and transfer the shares.
Why do people invest in the stock market?

When you buy stock in a corporation, you own part of that company. This gives you a vote at annual shareholder meetings, and a right to a share of future profits. The corporation's board of directors choose when to declare a dividend and how much to pay. Older and larger companies pay a regular dividend; most new and smaller companies do not. The average investor buys stock hoping that the stock's price will rise, so the shares can be sold at a profit. This will happen if more investors want to buy stock in a company than wish to sell. The potential of a small dividend check is of little concern. What is usually responsible for increased interest in a company's stock is the prospect of the company's sales and profits going up. 12
Ten Golden Rules For Investing

Warren Buffet has suggested ten golden rules for investing which proves to be immense use to the investor who want a better investment in stock markets, Religare follows these rules which are described below : 1. Never invest in a business you cannot understand. 2. Risk can be reduced by concentrating on a few holdings. 3. Stop trying to predict the direction of stock market, the economy, interest rates, or elections. 4. Buy companies with strong histories of profitability and with dominant business franchisee. 5. Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful. 6. Unless you can watch your stock holding decline by 50 % without becoming panic-stricken, you should not be in the stock market. 7. Do not take yearly results too seriously. Instead, focus on four or five year averages. 8. Focus on return on equity, not earnings per share (EPS) 9. Calculate owner earnings to get a true reflection of value. Look for companies with high profit margins. 10. Always invest for the long term. Does the business have favourable long-term prospects ?
13
Why do people sell the stock ?

When you buy stock in a corporation , you own part of that company. This gives you a vote at annual shareholder meetings, and a right to a share of future profits. When a company pays out profits to the shareholders , the money received is called a dividend. The corporations board of directors choose when to declare a dividend and how much to pay.Older and larger companies pay a regular dividend ; most new and smaller companies do not. The average investor buys stock hoping that the stockprice will rise, so the shares can be sold at a profit. This will happen if more investors want to buy stock in a stock in a company than wish to sell.The potential of a small dividend check is of little concern. What is usually responsible for increased interest in a companys stock is the prospect of the companys sales and profits going up. A company who is a leader in a hot industry will usually see its share price rise dramatically. Investors take the risk of the price falling because they hope to make more money in the market than they can with safe investments such as bank CDs government bonds.
What is stock market index ?

In the stock market world, you need a way to compare the movement of the market, up and down, from day to day, and from year to year. An index is just a benchmark or yardstick expressed as a number that makes it possible to do this comparison. For e.g. S&P CNX Nifty is the index of NSE and SENSEX is the index of BSE. Market Cap As you become familiar with stock and mutual fund investing, you will encounter the term "Cap", as in Small-Cap, Mid-Cap, and Large-Cap. Cap is short for capitalization.
14
As a stock market term, the capitalization of a company is calculated by multiplying the total number of shares by the current price per share. If a company has 500 million shares trading at $20 a share, its market cap is $10 billion (500,000,000 x $20). This is the total value of the company's stock, the value that the world of stock market investors has placed on the company (at least for today, investors are quick to change their minds). . Today, we define a large-cap company as one whose stock is valued at over $10 billion (some still say over $5 billion), a mid-cap from $1 to $10 billion, a small-cap from $250 million to $1 billion, and a company whose stock value is under $250 million as a micro-cap. Depending on whom you listen to or how old your reference book is, these definitions will vary. A related point - don't think a company is big just because it has a high stock price, or that it is small just because its stock price is low. For example, Disney trading at $23 is not smaller than Barnes & Noble trading at $33, since Disney has 2,048,690,000 shares outstanding (called the "float") and B&N has just 68,585,000 shares. That's a $4.7 billion market cap for Disney versus only $226 million for Barnes & Noble. Supply and Demand A stock's price movement up and down until the end of the trading day is strictly a result of supply and demand. The SUPPLY is the number of shares offered for sale at anyone one moment. The DEMAND is the number of shares investors wish to buy at exactly that same time. What a share of a company is worth on anyone day or at any one minute, is determined by all investors voting with their money. If investors want a stock and are willing to pay more, the price will go up.
15
If investors are selling a stock and there aren't enough buyers, the price will go down. Period.
16
What is stock exchange ?

Stock exchange is known as the stock market or brouse , a stock exchange is an organized market place for securities (like stocks , bonds , options) featured by the centralization of supply and demand for the transaction of orders by member brokers , for institutional and individual investors. The exchanges makes buying and selling easy. For example , you dont have to actually go to a stock exchanges , say BSE- you can contact a broker , who does business with the BSE and he or she will buy or sell your stock on your behalf. All stock exchanges perform similar functions with respect to the listing , trading and clearing of securities , differing only in their administrative machinery for handling these functions. Most stock exchanges are auction markets , in which prices are determined by competitive bidding. Trading may occur on a continuous auction basis , may involve brokers buying from and selling to dealers in certain types of stock , or it may be conducted through specialists dealings in a particular stock.

Benefits of listing on NSE

21
SECURITIES MARKET
The Securities Market consists of two segments, viz. Primary market and Secondary market. Primary market is the place where issuers create and issue equity, debt or hybrid instruments for subscription by the public; the Secondary market enables the holders of securities to trade them. Secondary market essentially comprises of stock exchanges, which provide platform for purchase and sale of securities by investors. In India, apart from the Regional Stock Exchanges established in different centers, there is exchange like the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Over the Counter Exchange of India (OTCEI), who provide nation wide trading facilities with terminals all over the country. The trading platform of stock exchanges is accessible only through brokers and trading of securities is confined only to stock exchanges. 22
Thus, the securities market has two independent, inseparable segments, the new issues (primary) market and the stock (secondary) market. The primary market provides channel for sale of new securities while the secondary market deals in securities previously issued. The issuer of securities sells the securities to the primary market to raise funds for investment and/or to discharge some obligations. The secondary market enables them who hold securities to adjust their holdings in response to change in their assessment of risk and return. They also sell securities for cash to meet their liquidity needs.

When you want to buy or sell stocks, you no longer need to call your broker on the phone: hope that he is in the office to place your order; possibly argue with the broker about the order; and hope that the transaction is executed instantly.

This is through sophisticated information streams, dedicated trading platforms and sophisticated tools for accessing the markets.

INTERNATIONAL EQUITY AND COMMODITY

International Equity and Commodities division scales up investment horizon for investors by tapping into huge potential of international markets. This lets an investor partake a share of international profits.
International Investment Advantage

Investors have a unique opportunity to participate in growth and profits of global
majors like Nokia, GE, Exxon Mobil, Pfizer and many others.
The width and depth of investment opportunities available internationally is
phenomenal. For instance, in India, current duration of a derivatives contract is three months; liquidity is mostly restricted to one-month contracts. Overseas, an investor can take longer derivative contracts (For example, General Electric Jan 2010 options are available). Investors can also take open short positions in the cash markets.
53
A chance to gain from major international events like currency movements, oil
demand- supply situation, interest rate changes etc; which have a high corelation with global equity and commodities market.
Minimising risk through portfolio diversification. By spreading money over
diverse, stable, assured international financial markets, an investor can reduce country specific risk.
International markets, especially American markets have an edge in terms of
being more retail investor friendly. The markets are strictly regulated, mature, research led, efficient and transparent - based on verifiable information in public domain.
From a global investment perspective, liquid capital (FII) tends to move back
into developed economies, from currently boisterous developing markets, on interest rate hikes, e.g. American markets. Investing in foreign markets can create a near perfect hedge against crashes in domestic markets due to interest rate changes and currency valuation measures.

Analysis:
The brokerage of ICICI Direct, HDFC Sec, Kotak Sec and IL&FS is more compare to other players. It is the Maximum brokerage that can be charged. As the volume of trading increases the brokerage structure is reduced in all the companies. Brokerage is also negotiable issue in many of the cases. It can be reduced against the volume of trading provided by client and also on base of relation in some cases. It is the only source of income for the company from the client since with brokerage structure other parameters like service also matters.
3. Is there any Initial Deposit required while Opening account? Company

Initial Deposit
5000 (4500 withdrawable) Negotiable Nil Nil Nil Nil 5000 5000 (Refundable) 10000 (5000 withdrawable) Nil
Analysis:
All the companies follow the rule for trading that the client can only buy shares of amount available with his account. But the question asked here is whether that amount is collected when the account is opened. Many companies charge some amount as margin money from the client which the client can use in purchasing the shares. Marvadi Shares requires some margin money to be maintained. Indiainfoline provides life time Account without any maintenance charge if margin of Rs. 5000 is maintained. 84
While opening account in Kotak Securities the amount is Rs. 5000 is taken as initial deposit for saving account in Kotak Bank which can be withdraw after opening of account in few days. Whereas as far as Religare Securities is concerned, the margin required to deposit is Rs. 5000 but Rs. 4500 can be withdrawable and only Rs.500 is to be maintained. 4. What are the trade Charges?

Analysis:
Trade charge is taken by the Depository Participant while the share is tranfered from one Demat Account to other Demat account. It is done while selling of shares, and also on the request of client. Here, the product of Sharekhan has very good, because there are no trade charges if trading is done from Sharekhan, means if shares are bought and sold from Sharekhan than there is no any trade charge. The client has to bear only Brokerage. Trade charge of Religare is the lowest and in Kotak ,as the volume of trading increases, the trade charge decreases. In Marvadi Shares Ltd, the trade charge depends on the kind of Demat Account scheme the client has joined. But the figure given here is for the one year scheme

At HDFC Securities the amount is deducted from the savings account automatically and also credited automatically when the client buys or sells the security. At ICICI Direct, client has to manually transfer the money from the saving account while buying the shares and the amount is credited automatically when the client sells the shares. Kotak Securities has tie up with other 3 banks, using net banking facility client can transfer money online. But the things has to be done manually. At Angel Broking, they doesnt provide net banking. The whole payment is done through cheque. When the client requests for money to take them back it provides the cheque at the next day Indiabulls, Sharekhan and IL&FS having tie ups with banks through that client can online transfer money. Same way company credit clients money to his account. Marvadi shares doesnt provide the facility of the online money transfer. The whole payment is done through cheque. In case of Religare Securities, it has tie up with 4 banks i.e. ICICI, HDFC, UTI and City Bank. The client needs to have his account in one of the either 4 banks then he can make the payment through cheque but in case if he doesnt have his account in either of the banks then he needs to open his Account in ICICI Bank which can be opened with 0 balance amount. Initially the client has to pay the cheque of any other bank to ICICI Bank and through this Bank the Cheque is given to Religare Securities and by this way the client gets the advantage of opening Demat Account in Religare and in ICICI Bank with 0 balance amount.

The complete parameters to compare the Online product are not included. III. Visual look of the Software and different facilities of software are not included. IV. Only one person of a company is interviewed.All the parameters may not be relevant for all the companies. V.

Gape filling suggestions

Religare Securities Ltd has very good competitive product in the on line trading market. It includes most of the required facalities for the online trading. Still some gaps are observed.Therefore to become a perfect product in the markets following things are suggested. Commecement of following services. * Online mutual fund * Online IPO * Online tips services during trading hours. As the company is new in the market , it requires to increase the awareness in the market about the company inspite of doing well. Brokerage charges for those traders who trade upto 1 crore are high compared to other rivals. Also the charges for those tradering between 1 to 5 crore are also not competitive as against the big rivals Angel Broking Ltd. It needs to increase the advertisement campaigns to make awareness of the company. Still It needs to improve the customer care services and for this the customers should be provided regular tips on their mobile or E-mail. The company is also suggested to start a unique campaigns to promote the online trading on different media. 105
The charges for software are still competitively high and if it can be reduced the company can affect huge mass of the customers.
Also conducting seminars in local city it can attract the mass for online trading. Online IPO & Mutual funds would be aided advantage & the online up flash will increase the volume of trading and the no. of clients to the Religare will be increased.
It also give value aided services to the existing clients through special seminars on any issues or new topic ,like commodities & effect of budget on share market.
It also requires positioning of the product and the company of coarse in the minds of the customers.
