INTRODUCTION

1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE

Do you know that the world's foremost marketplace New York Stock Exchange (NYSE),
started its trading under a tree (now known as 68 Wall Street) over 200 years ago?
Similarly, India's premier stock exchange Bombay Stock
Exchange (BSE) can also trace back its origin to as far as
125 years when it started as a voluntary non-profit making
association. You hear about it any time it reaches a new
high or a new low, and you also hear about it daily in
statements like 'The BSE Sensitive Index rose 5% today'.
Obviously, stocks and stock markets are important. Stocks
of public limited companies are bought and sold at a stock exchange. But what really are
stock exchanges? Known also as News on the stock market appears in different media
every day. he stock market or bourse, a stock exchange is an organized marketplace 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 exchange makes buying and selling easy. For example, you don't have to
actually go to a stock exchange, 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 dealing in a particular stock.
But where did it all start? The need for stock exchanges developed out of early trading
activities in agricultural and other commodities. During the middle Ages, traders found it
easier to use credit that required supporting documentation of drafts, notes and bills of
exchange. The history of the earliest stock exchange, the French stock exchange, may be
traced back to 12th century when transactions occurred in commercial bills of exchange.
7

The first stock exchange in India, Bombay Stock Exchange was established in 1875 as
'The Native Share and Stockbrokers Association' and has evolved over the years into its
present status as the premier stock exchange in the country. It may be noted that BSE is
the oldest stock exchange in Asia, even older than the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which was
founded in 1878. The country's second stock exchange was established in Ahmadabad in
1894, followed by the Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE). CSE can also trace its origin back
to 19th century. From a get together under a 'Neem Tree' way back in the 1830s, the CSE
was formally established in May 1908.
India's other major stock exchange National Stock Exchange (NSE), promoted by leading
financial institutions, and was established in April 1993. Over the years, several stock
exchanges have been established in the major cities of India. There are now 23
recognized stock exchanges Mumbai (BSE, NSE and OTC), Calcutta, Delhi, Chennai,
Ahmadabad, Bangalore, Bhubhaneswar, Coimbatore, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur,
Kochi, Kanpur, Ludhiana, Mangalore, Patna, Pune, Rajkot, Vadodara, Indore and
Meerut. Today, most of the global stock exchanges have become highly efficient,
computerized organizations. Computerized networks also made it possible to connect to
each other and have fostered the growth of an open, global securities market. Realizing
there is untapped market of investors who want to be able to execute their own trades
when it suits them, brokers have taken their trading rooms to the Internet. Known as
online brokers, they allow you to buy and sell shares via Internet.
In general, the financial market divided into two parts, Money market and capital market.
Securities market is an important, organized capital market where transaction of capital is
facilitated by means of direct financing using securities as a commodity.

Securities market can be divided into a primary market and secondary market.

A) PRIMARY MARKET
The primary market is an intermittent and discrete market where the initially listed shares
are traded first time, changing hands from the listed company to the investors. It refers to
the process through which the companies, the issuers of stocks, acquire capital by
8

offering their stocks to investors who supply the capital. In other words primary market is
that part of the capital markets that deals with the issuance of new securities. Companies,
governments or public sector institutions can obtain funding through the sale of a new
stock or bond issue. This is typically done through a syndicate of securities dealers. The
process of selling new issues to investors is called underwriting. In the case of a new
stock issue, this sale is called an initial public offering (IPO). Dealers earn a commission
that is built into the price of the security offering, though it can be found in the
prospectus.

B) SECONDARY MARKET
The secondary market is an on-going market, which is equipped and organized with a
place, facilities and other resources required for trading securities after their initial
offering. It refers to a specific place where securities transaction among many and
unspecified persons is carried out through intermediation of the securities firms, i.e., a
licensed broker, and the exchanges, a specialized trading organization, in accordance with
the rules and regulations established by the exchanges.

A bit about history of stock exchange they say it was under a tree that it all started in
1875.Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) was the major exchange in India till 1994.National
Stock Exchange (NSE) started operations in 1994.NSE was floated by major banks and
financial institutions. It came as a result of Harshad Mehta scam of 1992. Contrary to
popular belief the scam was more of a banking scam than a stock market scam. The old
methods of trading in BSE were people assembling on what is called a ring in the BSE
building. They had a unique sign language to communicate apart from all the shouting.
Investors weren't allowed access and the system was opaque and misused by brokers. The
shares were in physical form and prone to duplication and fraud.
NSE was the first to introduce electronic screen based trading. BSE was forced to follow
suit. The present day trading platform is transparent and gives investors prices on a real
time basis. With the introduction of depository and mandatory dematerialization of shares
chances of fraud reduced further. The trading screen gives you top 5 buy and sell quotes
9

on every scrip. A typical trading day starts at 9.15 ending at 3.30. Monday to Friday. BSE
has 30 stocks which make up the Sensex .NSE has 50 stocks in its index called Nifty. FII
s Banks, financial institutions mutual funds are biggest players in the market. Then there
are the retail investors and speculators. The last ones are the ones who follow the market
morning to evening; Market can be very addictive like blogging though stakes are higher
in the former.

Shares in the Share Market are either traded through:

a) Stock Exchange these are organized market places where stocks, bonds
are other equivalents are traded between the buyers and sellers where
exchange acts as counter-party to both the participants in case of any default.

b) Over-the -Counter (OTC) these are not centralized exchanges and the
trade takes place through a network of dealers.

Constituents of Share Market are:-
a) Buyer: An investor who buys a script in the belief that the market will
rise. If his hinge becomes right then he makes profit otherwise he suffers
loss.

b) Seller: Seller of a stock sells in the hope that the stock price will go
down.

c) Stock Broker: Brokers are persons or firms who execute buy/sell order
on behalf of the investors and charge a commission for rendering the
service.


10

Share Broking Company offers two types of share trading facilities.

a) Offline Share Trading In this form of trading the customer has to place
order to the dealer of the stock broking firm either in person or over phone.

b) Online Share Trading The client could place his order on his own from
any place he wants, provided he has a computer with an Internet
connection.

There are mainly two types of trading:-

1. Intraday: They buy and sell stocks during the same day.

Intraday Traders are of two types:
a. Scalp Traders: Investors who perform many trades per day for scalping
out small profits out of the bid-ask spread from each trade is known as
scalp traders.
b. Momentum Traders: Investors who pounce on those stocks which
move significantly in one direction and book desired profit are called
momentum traders. They do this within a day.

2. Delivery trading: - The investor buys the share for holding purposes.

Delivery Traders are:
a. Technical Traders: They believe that buying/selling signals are
present within the graphs and charts of the stock.
b. Fundamental Traders: They perform trade on the basis of study of
fact-sheets of the company like historical profit graph, balance sheet,
anticipated earning reports, stock- splits, mergers and acquisitions, etc

STOCK MARKETS IN INDIA:
Stock exchanges are the perfect type of market for securities whether of government and
semi-government bodies or other public bodies as also for shares and debentures issued
by the joint-stock companies. In the stock market, purchases and sales of shares are
affected in conditions of free competition. Government securities are traded outside the
trading ring in the form of over the counter sales or purchase. The bargains that are
struck in the trading ring by the members of the stock exchanges are at the fairest prices
determined by the basic laws of supply and demand.

DEFINITION OF A STOCK EXCHANGE:
Stock exchange means anybody or individuals whether incorporated or not, constituted
for the purpose of assisting, regulating or controlling the business of buying, selling or
dealing in securities.
The securities include:
Shares of public company.
Government securities.
Bonds

HISTORY OF STOCK EXCHANGES:
The only stock exchanges operating in the 19
th
century were those of Mumbai setup in
1875 and Ahmadabad set up in 1894. These were organized as voluntary non-
profit-marking associations of brokers to regulate and protect their interests. Before the
control on securities under the constitution in 1950, it was a state subject and the
Bombay securities contracts (control) act of 1925 used to regulate trading insecurities.
12

Under this act, the Mumbai stock exchange was recognized in 1927 and Ahmadabad in
1937. During the war boom, a number of stock exchanges were organized. Soon
after it became a central subject, central legislation was proposed and a committee
headed by A.D. Gorwala went into the bill for securities regulation. On the basis of the
committees recommendations and public discussion, the securities contract (regulation)
act became law in 1956.

Functions of Stock Exchanges:
Stock exchanges provide liquidity to the listed companies. By giving quotations to the
listed companies, they help trading and raise funds from the market. Over the hundred
and twenty years during which the stock exchanges have existed in this country
and through their medium, the central and state government have raised crores of
rupees by floating public loans.
Municipal corporations, trust and local bodies have obtained from the public their
financial requirements, and industry, trade and commerce-the backbone of the
countrys economy-have secured capital of crores or rupees through the issue of
stocks, shares and debentures for financing their day-to-day activities, organizing new
ventures and completing projects of expansion, diversification and modernization. By
obtaining the listing and trading facilities, public investment is increased and companies
were able to raise more funds. The quoted companies with wide public interest have
enjoyed some benefits and assets valuation has become easier for tax and other purposes.

financial institutions such as Indian Bank or Life Insurance Corporation of India.
However, in the totally de-metalized Exchange, the ownership as well as the
management does not have a right to trade on the Exchange. Only qualified traders can
be involved in the securities trading.
The NSE is one of the few exchanges in the world trading all types of securities on a
single platform, which is divided into three segments: Wholesale Debt Market (WDM),
Capital Market (CM), and Futures & Options (F&O) Market. Each segment has
experienced a significant growth throughout a few years of their launch. While the
WDM segment has accumulated the annual growth of over 36% since its opening in
1994, the CM segment has increased by even 61% during the same period. The National
Stock Exchange of India has stringent requirements and criteria for the companies listed
on the Exchange. Minimum capital requirements, project appraisal, and company's track
record are just a few of the criteria. In addition, listed companies pay variable listing fees
based on their corporate capital size.
The National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. provides its clients with a single, fully

exchanges, the NSE uses the satellite communication system that connects traders from

1.3 INTRODUCTION TO THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
TOWARDS ONLINE TRADING


CUSTOMERS are never simple. Customers may say one thing but do another. They
may respond to influences that change their minds at the last minute.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Satisfaction level is the level of persons felt state resulting from comparing products
perceived performance (or outcome) in relation to the persons expectation.

Thus satisfaction level is function of difference between perceived performance &
expectation. A customer could experience one of three broad levels of satisfaction:
If the performance falls short of expectations, the customer is dissatisfied.
If the performance matches to the expectations of the customer, then the
customer is satisfied.
If the performance exceeds the expectations of the customer, the customer is
highly satisfied, pleased or delighted.

But how does the customer expects? Expectations are formed on the basis of the buyers
past buying experience statements made by the friends & associates, & marketer &
competitor information & promises. If marketers raise the expectations too high the buyer
is likely to be disappointed.

Some of the todays most successful companies are raising expectation & delivering the
performance. The companies are aiming high because customers who are just satisfied
will still find it easy to switch supplier when a better offer comes along. The fact is that
high satisfaction or delight creates an emotional affinity with the brand, not just a rational
preference, and this creates customers high loyalty.

31

Companies seeking to win in todays markets must track their customers expectation
perceived company performance, and customers satisfaction. They need to monitor this
for the competitors as well. Companies that achieve high customer satisfaction ratings
make sure that their target market knows it. The customers centered firms seek to create
high customer satisfaction it is not out to maximize customer satisfaction.

First they can increase the customer satisfaction by lowering the price or increasing its
services, but this may result in low profits.
Second, the company might be able to increase its profitability in the other ways, such as
by improving its manufacturing or investing more in R&D.
Third, the company has many stakeholders including employees, dealers, suppliers &
stockholders. Spending more to increase the customer satisfaction would divert funds
from increasing the satisfaction of the other partners. Ultimately, the company must
operate on the philosophy that it is trying to deliver a high level of customer satisfaction
level subject to delivering at least acceptable levels of the satisfaction to the other
stockholders within the constraints of its total resources.

Some cautions in measuring customer satisfaction, when customers rate their satisfaction
with an element of the companys performance, say delivery, we need to recognize that
customers will vary in how they define good delivery: it could mean early delivery, on
time delivery, order completeness, and so on. Yet if the company had to spell out every
element in detail, customers would face a huge questionnaire. We must also recognize
that two customers can report being highly satisfied for a different reasons. One may be
easily satisfied most of the times and the other might be hard to please on this occasion.
Companies should also note that managers and salespersons can manipulate their rating
on the customers on customer satisfaction.


32

IMPORTANCE OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
The level of satisfaction a customer has with a company has profound effects. Studies
have found that the level of customers satisfaction has a positive effect on profitability:
A totally satisfied customer contributes 2.6 times as much revenue to a company
as a somewhat satisfied customer.
A totally satisfied customer contributes 17 times as much revenue as a somewhat
dissatisfied customer.
A totally dissatisfied customer decreases revenue at a rate equal to 18 times what
a totally satisfied customer contributes to a company.









Research has shown that when a person is satisfied with a company or service they are
likely to share their experience with other people to the order of perhaps five or six
people. However, dissatisfied customers are likely to tell another ten people of their
unfortunate experience.
Thus, though customer satisfaction does not guarantee the repurchase from a company
but it does play a very important role in achieving customer loyalty. Conducting
Expected

products.)
E = P

Satisfied
(Will may or may
not continue to
purchase products.)
E < P

Delighted
(Customer will be
very much loyal.)
33

customer satisfaction research will provide your company with the necessary insight it
needs to make informed decisions in order to retain and increase your customer base and
improve customer relationships
80:20 RULE OF MARKETING
By this rule, customers should be totally satisfied because most of the profit comes from
the satisfied customers as they are the only one who becomes loyal to the company in
future period.
This rule says that 80% of the profit which is a very higher share comes from 20% of the
loyal customers.
Hence it is important to make customers loyal as they are the only one who will do
positive word of mouth publicity for the company in front of other customers and
indirectly benefits the company only.

METHODS OF TRACKING AND MEASURING CUSTOMER

Complaint and suggestions system
A Customer centered organization would make it easy for its a customer to deliver
suggestions and complaints. Many restaurants and hotels provide forms for guest to
report likes and dislikes. A hospital could place suggestion boxes in corridors, supply
comments cards to the exiting patients, and hire patients advocate to handle patient
grievances. Some customer centered companies- P&G, General Electric, and Whirlpool
-Establish customer hot lines with a toll free 800 telephone numbers to maximize case
with which the customers can inquire, make suggestion, or complain. These information
flows provide these companies with many good ideas and enable them to act more
rapidly to resolve the problems.


34

Customer satisfaction surveys
A company must not conclude that it can get a full picture of customer satisfaction &
dissatisfaction by simply a complain & suggestion system. A study shows that
customers are dissatisfied with one out of the four and less than 5% of the dissatisfied
customers will complain. Customers may feel that their complaints are minor, or that
they will be made to be stupid, or that no remedy will be offered. Most customers will
buy less or switch the suppliers rather than complain. The result is that company has
needlessly lost the customer. Therefore, companies cannot use the complaint levels as a
measure of customer satisfaction. Responsive companies obtain a direct measure of
customer satisfaction by conducting periodic surveys. They send questionnaires or make
telephone calls to random sample of their recent customer to find out how they feel
about various aspects of the companys performance. Customers satisfaction can be
measured in number of ways. It can be measured directly by asking indicate how
satisfied you are with the service X on the following scale highly satisfied (directly
reported Satisfaction). Respondents can be asked as well to rate how much they are
expected of as certain attribute and also how much they are experienced (derived
satisfaction). Still another method is to ask respondents to list any problem they have
had with the offer and to list any improvements they could suggest (problem analysis).
Finally, companies could respondents to rate various element of the offer in the terms of
the importance of the each element and how well the organization performed each
element (importance/performance ratings). This last method helps the company to know
if it is underperforming on important elements and over performing on relative
unimportant elements. While, collecting customer satisfaction data, it would also be
useful to ask additional questions to measure the customers repurchase intention. This
will normally be high if the customer satisfaction is high.

Lost customer analysis
Companies should contact customers who have stopped buying have switched to
another supplier to learn why this is happened. When IBM loses a customer, they mount
a through effort to learn where they failed- is their price too high, their service deficient,
their product unreliable, and so on. Not only is it important to conduct exit interviews
35

but also to monitor the customer loss rate which, if it is increasing, clearly indicates that
the company is failing to satisfy its customers.

ONLINE SHARE MARKET TRADING IN INDIA

The financial market in India is growing rapidly and is expected to emerge as one of the
leaders in the international arena very soon .This boom in financial market is stimulating
the growth of the Indian share market encouraging the investors to invest in the share
market.

The history of the share market of India dates back to 1875. The name of the first share
trading association in India was Native Share and Stock Brokers Association which
later came to be known as Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). This association began with
318 members. Today India can boast of 24 share markets in the various parts of the
country, and a member of financial intermediaries that include Banks, on Banking
Financial Corporation, Insurance companies, Mutual Funds, etc.
Online Trading is a service offered on the Internet for purchase and sale of shares. In the
real world, you place orders on your stockbroker either verbally (personally or
telephonically). These orders are routed to the Stock Exchange without manual
intervention and executed thereon in a matter of a few seconds.

There are 2 types of online trading service: discount brokers and full service online
broker.
Discount online brokers allow you to trade via Internet at reduced rates. Some provide
quality research, other dont.
Full service online broker allow their clients to place online orders with the option of
talking/ chatting to brokers if advice is needed. Brokerage rates here are higher.
5Paisa.com, ICICIDirect.com, IndiaBulls.com, sharekhan.com, HDFCsec.com, are some
of the online broking sites in India.
36

Many companies are now offering Online trading accounts to their customers so they are
in constant requirement of people who are familiar with this type of technique. Hence the
scope of employment in this area is great and future prospects are bright.

ONLINE TRADING PROCESS
The various transactions involved in online trading can be shown from the point of view
of the:
Client

Stock exchange

The client places in order via the net by login on to his brokers 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 clients bank account or pays
through his own account and recovers it letter from the client.

The client is intimated the settlement either through the Demat account or via E
mail.

BENEFITS OF ONLINE TRADING

Offers liquidity to the investors

Provides a level playing field
Reduces the settlement risk
37

FACTORS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE SELECTING ONLINE TRADING
COMPANY

Brokerage cost: It is important to weigh up the subscription and trading costs charged
by an online broker against benefits offered by the site. All online brokers display their
charges on their sites. Some make sure you find the charges easily, while with other you
will have to search a bit.

Safety: We should make sure site has 128-bit encryption to ensure safety of transaction
online. ICICI Direct.com, 5paisa.com are few sites with 128-bit encryption. One gets a
secured login id and password. It is always advisable to frequently change trading
password. Ideally online trading site should be fully integrated. Ideally broking account,
Demat account and bank account should be linked electronically.

Rate refresh: Rate refresh has to be real-time with no time lag. The speed and
reliability comes with huge investment in technology. It is always advisable to check
rates of online broking sites with BSE/ NSE terminal rates.

Speed of execution: System has to be fast and reliable that does just one job-executes
your trades. The last thing you need is a site that is heavily congested with the users
who are downloading heavy jpeg graphs or pulling the latest story why market is
moving. The site should be one click wonder where squaring off all your positions or
cancelling all your pending orders takes one click and a confirmation of action.

Trading limit: For trading, all sites provide 4 times buy and sell limit against margin
money put in by customer. For delivery of shares, buying limit is equal to margin
money put in by customer. Couple of sites also provides margin funding for buying of
shares.

Free trial period: Site should allow users free trial period to familiarize yourself with
system before you decide to become trading member of the site.

CHAPTER - 5
RECOMMENDATIONS








60

RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend the companies to take steps to educate Investors about their rights and
duties. I suggest them to increase the investors confidence.
Necessary steps should be taken by the companies to deal with the situations arising
due to break down in online trading.
Awareness campaigns like giving idea about futures and options, derivatives,
dividend policies will create interest in online trading. And this helps organization
for market positioning as well as mind positioning.
Seminars can be conducted at corporate level so as to increase potential customer
base. Corporate people do not go for share trading due to lack of time. This kind of
seminar will motivate them and make them aware about e-trading.
Development in online services for the customers like; brokerages, application,
research report, SMS facilities.
In order to increase online trading, customers should be provided with more and
more services so that preference can be given to online trading over offline trading.
Customer interest should be increased in mutual funds, fixed deposits and other
options also so that they can invest in it.
Sharekhan should also provide lucrative offer to attract customers from competitors
company.
