RATIONALE OF THE STUDY
A robust financial system requires multiple channels of financing, wherein
Securities Markets plays a significant role. It is the largest of all the
financial markets in the world today.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 7/60
Basically, Securities Markets provide a channel for allocation of savings by
an individual or an organization to those who have a productive need for
them.
India’s fixed income securities market has been evolving steadily since the
economic reforms. It has witnessed several policy initiatives, which has
refined the market micro-structure, modernized operations and broadened
investment choices for the investors. With the implementation of the
Narasimham Committee recommendations on banking sector reforms
market determined interest rates replaced administered interest rates –
with few exceptions.
Debt market analysts working in the Indian banking sector need to
understand background of banking sector, interest rate cycles, and
volatility in the interest rates that pose new challenges. It is therefore very
much required to understand the securities market in India.
The study relates to estimating the number of institutions and population of
individual investors who have invested in equity market and debt market
directly or indirectly through mutual funds.
The study also relates to improvement in the service given by Brokers/sub-
brokers, various electronic modules boosting the investor’s confidence in
the securities market.
The study gives more emphasis on Government securities market as the
people are more fascinated to equity market than Debt market. A lot of
awareness is seen these days about equity market in India as compared
to Debt market. Therefore there is need to understand debt market more
than equity market.

HISTORY OF SECURITIES MARKET
Evolution of Stock market & Govt. securities market in
India :
Stock Market :

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 11/60
Indian stock markets are one of the oldest in Asia. Its history dates back to
nearly 200 years ago. By 1830’s business on corporate stocks and shares
in Bank and cotton presses took place in Mumbai. The 1850’s witnessed arapid development of commercial enterprise and brokerage business
attracted many men into the field and by 1860 the number of brokers
increased into 60. At the end of American Civil War, the brokers who
thrived out of Civil War in 1874, found a place in a street ( Dalal
Street)where they would conveniently assemble and transact business. In
1887, they formally established in Bombay, “ Native Share and Stock
Broker’s Association” ( which is alternatively known as “ The Stock
Exchange” ). In 1895, the Stock Exchange acquired a premise in the same
street and it was inaugurated in 1899. Thus the Stock Exchange at
Bombay was consolidated.
The Second World War broke in 1939. It gave a sharp boom which was
followed by a slump. But, in 1943, the situation changed radically , when
India was fully mobilized as supply base.
During the early sixties there were eight recognized stock exchanges in
India. The number virtually remained unchanged for nearly two decades.
During eighties, however, many stock exchanges were established. At
present there are totally twenty two recognized stock exchanges in India
excluding OTCEI and NSEIL. Indian Stock Market have not only grown
just in number of exchanges, but also in number of listed companies and
in capital of listed companies.

BSE ( THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF MUMBAI )
The Stock Exchange, Mumbai, popularly known as “BSE” was
established in 1875 as “ The Native Share and Stock Brokers
Association”. It is the oldest in the Asia, even older than Tokyo
12
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 13/60
Stock Exchange. It is voluntary non-profit making Association of
Persons and is currently engaged in the process of converting itself
into demutualised and corporate entity. It has evolved over theyears into its present status as the premier Stock Exchange in the
country. It is the first Stock Exchange in the country to have
obtained permanent recognition in 1956 from Govt. of India under
the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act,1956.
The Exchange, while providing an efficient and transparent market
for trading in Securities, debt and derivatives upholds the interest of
the investors and ensures redressal of their grievances whether
against the companies or its own member brokers. It also strives to
educate and enlighten the investors by conducting investor
education program and making available to them necessary
informative inputs.
A Governing Board having 20 directors is the apex body, which
decides the policies and regulates the affairs of the Exchange. The
Governing Board consists of 9 elected directors, who are from the
broking community, 3 SEBI nominees, 6 public representatives and
an Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer and a Chief
Operating Officer.
NSE ( NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE)
NSE was incorporated in 1992 and was given recognition as a
stock exchange in April 1993. It started operations in June 1994,
with trading on Wholesale Debt Market Segment. Subsequently it
launched the Capital Market Segment in November 1994 as a
13
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 14/60
trading platform for equities and Futures and Options Segment in
June 2000 for various derivatives instruments.
NSE has been able to take the stock market to the doorsteps of the
investors. The technology has been harnessed to deliver the
service to the investors across the country at the cheapest possible
cost. It provides a nation-wide, screen-based, automated trading
system, with high degree of transparency and equal access to
investors irrespective of geographical location. The high level of
information dissemination through on-line system has helped in
integrating retail investors on a nation-wide basis. The standards
set by the exchange in terms of market practices, products,
technology and service standards have become industry
benchmarks and are being replicated by other market participants.
Within a very short span of time, NSE has been able to achieve all
the objectives for which it was set up. It has been playing a leading
role as a change agent in transforming the Indian Capital Markets to
its present form. The India Capital Markets are a far cry from what
they used to be a decade ago in terms of market practices,
infrastructure, technology, risk management, clearing and
settlement and investor service.

GOVT. SECURITIES / DEBT MARKET :
The government spends more than its income by borrowing from
various sources to meet growing needs of defence, social services and
planned development. Since 1951, the importance of public borrowing
as a source of financing government expenditure has increased
enormously and public debt began to grow by leaps and bound due to
the increasing planned expenditure under various five year plans.
In terms of provisions of the Public Debt Act, 1944, the administration
of public debt of Centre and States is entrusted to the RBI. Public Debt
management is concerned with the raising of finance for government
through market loans, treasury bills and other methods. The requiredfinance in any year is governed by the budgetary considerations of
their revenue and expenditure. The amount of finance to be raised, the
time, the rate of interest and terms of loan are all decided by the
Ministry of Finance in consultation with RBI. The RBI acts as an
underwriter for government debt , particularly of the Central
Government. In respect of State Government loans, RBI uses its moral
15
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 16/60
influence on the market to see that full subscription takes place for the
loans floated.
The role of RBI in debt management is
To keep the cost of financing to the minimum.
To maintain the market stable and smooth.
To meet the portfolio requirements of all investors to the extent
possible.
To maintain a minimum level of activity in the market with a
view to providing liquidity to the securities in the market for purpose of developing the market.
In most of the countries, the debt market is more popular than the
equity market. This is due to sophisticated bond instruments that have
return – reaping assets as their underlying. However, in India, equity
markets are more popular than debt markets due to dominance of
government securities in debt markets. Moreover, the government is
borrowing at a pre-announced coupon rate targeting a captive group of
investors such as Banks, Financial Institutions, Insurance Companies
etc. This coupled with automatic monetization of fiscal deficit,
prevented the emergence of a deep and vibrant government securities
market.
The bond markets exhibit a much lower volatility than equities, and all
bonds are priced based on same macroeconomic information. The
bond market liquidity is normally much higher than the stock market
liquidity in most of the countries. The performance of the market for
debt is directly related to the interest rate movement as it is reflected in
16
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 17/60
the yields of government bonds, corporate debentures, MIBOR-related
commercial papers and non-convertible debentures.
The Indian debt market is composed of government bonds and
corporate bonds. However, the Central Government bonds are
predominant and they form most liquid component of bond market. In
2003, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) introduced Interest Rate
Derivatives. The trading platforms for government securities are
“Negotiated Dealing System” (NDS) and “Wholesale Debt Market”
(WDM) segment of NSE and BSE. In negotiated market, the trades
are normally decided by the seller and the buyer, and are reported to
the exchange through the broker, whereas the WDM trading system,
know as NEAT, is fully automated screen based trading system, which
enables members across the country to trade simultaneously with
enormous ease and efficiency.
THEORETICAL PERCEPTIVE
TRADING PATTERN OF THE INDIAN STOCK MARKET
17
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 18/60
Trading in Indian stock exchanges are limited to listed securities of public
limited companies. They are broadly divided into two categories namely,
specified securities (forward list) and non-specified securities (cash list).Equity shares of dividend paying, growth oriented companies with a paid
up capital of at least Rs. 50 million and a market capitalization of at least
Rs.100 million and having more than 20,000 shareholders are, normally,
put in the specified group and balance in non specified group.
Two types of transactions can be carried out on the Indian stock
exchanges : (a) spot delivery transactions “ for delivery and payment
within the time or on the date stipulated when entering into the contract
which shall not be more than 14 days following the date of contract” and
(b) forward transactions “ delivery and payment can be extended by further
period of 14 days each so that the overall period does not exceed 90 days
from date of contract”. The latter is permitted only in case of specified
shares.
A member broker in an Indian stock exchange can act as an agent, buy
and sell securities for his clients on a commission basis and also can act
as a trader or dealer as a principal, buy and sell securities on his own
account and risk, in contrast with practice prevailing on New York and
London Stock Exchanges, where a member can act as a jobber or broker
only.
The nature of trading on Indian Stock Exchanges are that of age old
conventional style of face-to-face trading with bids and offers being made
by open outcry. However, there is a great amount of effort to modernize
the Indian Stock Exchanges in the very recent times.
18
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 19/60
To provide improved service to investors, the country’s first ring less, scrip
less, electronic stock exchange – OTCEI was created in 1992. Trading at
OTCEI is done over the centres spread across the country. Securitiestraded on OTCEI are classified into :
o Listed securities – The shares and debentures of the companies
listed on the OTC can be bought or sold at any OTC counter all
over the country and they should not be listed anywhere else.
o Permitted securities – Certain shares and debentures listed on
other exchange and units of mutual funds are allowed to be traded.
o Initiated debentures – Any equity holding at least one lakh
debentures of a particular scrip can offer tem for trading on OTC.
OTC has unique feature of trading compared to other traditional
exchanges. That is, certificate of listed securities and initiated
debentures are not traded at OTC. The original certificate will be safely
with custodian. But, a counter receipt is generated out at the counter
which substitutes the share certificate and is used for all transactions.
In case of permitted securities, the system is similar to a traditional
stock exchange. The difference is that the delivery and payment
procedure will be completed within 14 days.
Trading at NSE can be classified under two broad categories :
(a) Wholesale Debt Market
(b) Capital Market.
19
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 20/60
Wholesale Debt Market operations are similar to money market
operations – institutions and corporate bodies enter into high value
transactions in financial instruments such as government securities,treasury bills, public sector unit bonds, commercial paper, certificate of
deposit etc.
There are two kinds of players in NSE, trading members and
participants. Recognized members of NSE are called trading members
who trade on behalf of themselves and their clients. Participants
include trading members and large players like banks who takes direct
settlement responsibility.
Trading at NSE takes place through fully automated screen-based
trading mechanism which adopts the principle of an order driven
market. Trading members can stay at their offices and execute the
trading, since they are linked through a communication network. The
prices at which buyers and sellers are willing to transact will appear on
the screen. When prices match the transaction will be completed and
confirmation slip will be printed at the office of the trading member.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 21/60
Government Securities
Government securities(G-secs) are sovereign securities which are issued
by the Reserve Bank of India on behalf of Government of India, in lieu of
the Central Government's market borrowing programme.
The term Government Securities includes:
• Central Government Securities
• State Government Securities
• Treasury bills
The Central Government borrows funds to finance its 'fiscal deficit'. The
market borrowing of the Central Government is raised through the issue of
dated securities and 364 days treasury bills either by auction or by
floatation of loans.
In addition to the above, treasury bills of 91 days are issued for managing
the temporary cash mismatches of the Government. These do not formpart of the borrowing programme of the Central Government.
Types of Government Securities
Government Securities are of the following types:-
Dated Securities : are generally fixed maturity and fixed coupon
securities usually carrying semi-annual coupon. These are called dated
securities because these are identified by their date of maturity and the
coupon, e.g., 11.03% GOI 2012 is a Central Government security maturing
in 2012, which carries a coupon of 11.03% payable half yearly.
The key features of these securities are:
21
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 22/60
They are issued at face value.
Coupon or interest rate is fixed at the time of issuance, and remains
constant till redemption of the security. The tenor of the security is also fixed.
Interest /Coupon payment is made on a half yearly basis on its face
value.
The security is redeemed at par (face value) on its maturity date.
Zero Coupon bonds : are bonds issued at discount to face value and
redeemed at par. These were issued first on January 19, 1994 and were
followed by two subsequent issues in 1994-95 and 1995-96 respectively.
The key features of these securities are:
They are issued at a discount to the face value.
The tenor of the security is fixed.
The securities do not carry any coupon or interest rate. The
difference between the issue price (discounted price) and face
value is the return on this security.
Partly Paid Stock : is stock where payment of principal amount is made in
installments over a given time frame. It meets the needs of investors with
regular flow of funds and the need of Government when it does not need
funds immediately. The first issue of such stock of eight year maturity was
made on November 15, 1994 for Rs. 2000 crore. Such stocks have been
issued a few more times thereafter.
The key features of these securities are:
They are issued at face value, but this amount is paid in
installments over a specified period.
22
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 23/60
Coupon or interest rate is fixed at the time of issuance, and remains
constant till redemption of the security.
The tenor of the security is also fixed.
Interest /Coupon payment is made on a half yearly basis on its face
value.
The security is redeemed at par (face value) on its maturity date.
Floating Rate Bonds : are bonds with variable interest rate with a fixed
percentage over a benchmark rate. There may be a cap and a floor rate
attached thereby fixing a maximum and minimum interest rate payable on
it. Floating rate bonds of four year maturity were first issued on September
29, 1995, followed by another issue on December 5, 1995. Recently RBI
issued a floating rate bond, the coupon of which is benchmarked against
average yield on 364 Days Treasury Bills for last six months. The coupon
is reset every six months .
The key features of these securities are:
They are issued at face value.
Coupon or interest rate is fixed as a percentage over a predefined
benchmark rate at the time of issuance. The benchmark rate may
be Treasury bill rate, bank rate etc.
Though the benchmark does not change, the rate of interest may
vary according to the change in the benchmark rate till redemption.

value.
The security is redeemed at par (face value) on its maturity date.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 24/60
Bonds with Call/Put Option: First time in the history of Government
Securities market RBI issued a bond with call and put option this year.
This bond is due for redemption in 2012 and carries a coupon of 6.72%.However the bond has call and put option after five years i.e. in year 2007.
In other words it means that holder of bond can sell back (put option) bond
to Government in 2007 or Government can buy back (call option) bond
from holder in 2007. This bond has been priced in line with 5 year bonds.
Capital indexed Bonds: are bonds where interest rate is a fixed
percentage over the wholesale price index. These provide investors with
an effective hedge against inflation. These bonds were floated on
December 29, 1997 on tap basis. They were of five year maturity with a
coupon rate of 6 per cent over the wholesale price index. The principal
redemption is linked to the Wholesale Price Index.
The key features of these securities are:
They are issued at face value.
Coupon or interest rate is fixed as a percentage over the wholesale
price index at the time of issuance. Therefore the actual amount of
interest paid varies according to the change in the Wholesale Price
Index.
The tenor of the security is fixed.
Interest /Coupon payment is made on a half yearly basis on its face
value.
The principal redemption is linked to the Wholesale Price Index.

Government securities are repaid at par on the expiry of their tenor.
The different repayment methods are as follows :
For SGL account holders, the maturity proceeds would be credited to their
current accounts with the Reserve Bank of India.
For Gilt Account Holders, the Bank/Primary Dealers, would receive the
maturity proceeds and they would pay the Gilt Account Holders.
For entities having a demat account with NSDL, the maturity proceeds
would be collected by their DP's and they in turn would pay the demat
Account Holders

Day Count
For government dated securities and state government securities the day
count is taken as 360 days for a year and 30 days for every completed
month. However for Treasury bills it is 365 days for a year.
Example : A client purchases 7.40% GOI 2012 for face value of Rs. 10
lacs.@ Rs.101.80, i.e. the client pays Rs.101.80 for every unit of
government security having a face value of Rs. 100/- The settlement is
due on October 3, 2002. What is the amount to be paid by the client?
The security is 7.40% GOI 2012 for which the interest payment dates are
3rd May, and 3 rd November every year.
The last interest payment date for the current year is 3 rd May 2002. The
calculation would be made as follows:
Face value of Rs. 10 lacs.@ Rs.101.80%.
Therefore the principal amount payable is Rs.10 lacs X 101.80%
=10,18,000
Last interest payment date was May 3, 2002 and settlement date is
October 3, 2002. Therefore the interest has to be paid for 150 days
(including 3 rd May, and excluding October 3, 2002)
(28 days of May, including 3 rd May, up to 30 th May + 30 days of June,
July, August and September + 2 days of October). Since the settlement is
on October 3, 2002, that date is excluded.
Interest payable = 10 lacs X 7.40% X 150 / 360 X 100 = Rs. 30833.33.
Total amount payable by client = 10,18,000+30833.33 = Rs. 10,48,833.33

Methods of Issuance of Government Securities
Government securities are issued by various methods, which are as
follows:
Auctions:
Auctions for government securities are either yield based or price based.
The basic features of the auctions are given below:
In an yield based auction, the Reserve Bank of India announces the issue
size(or notified amount) and the tenor of the paper to be auctioned. The
bidders submit bids in terms of the yield at which they are ready to buy the
security.
In a price based auction, the Reserve Bank of India announces the issue
size(or notified amount), the tenor of the paper to be auctioned, as well as
the coupon rate. The bidders submit bids in terms of the price. This
method of auction is normally used in case of reissue of existing
government securities.
28
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 29/60
Method of auction: There are two methods of auction which are followed-
Uniform price Based or Dutch Auction procedure is used in auctions of
dated government securities. The bids are accepted at the same prices as
decided in cut off.
Multiple/variable Price Based or French Auction procedure is used in
auctions of Government dated securities and treasury bills. Bids are
accepted at different prices / yields quoted in the individual bids.
Bids: Bids are to be submitted in terms of yields to maturity/prices as
announced at the time of auction.
Cut off yield: is the rate at which bids are accepted. Bids at yields higher
than the cut-off yield is rejected and those lower than the cut-off are
accepted.
Cut-off yield is set as the coupon rate for the security. Bidders who have
bid at lower than the cut-off yield pay a premium on the security, since the
auction is a multiple price auction.
Cut off price: It is the minimum price accepted for the security. Bids at
prices lower than the cut-off are rejected and at higher than the cut-off are
accepted. Coupon rate for the security remains unchanged. Bidders who
have bid at higher than the cut-off price pay a premium on the security,thereby getting a lower yield. Price based auctions lead to finer price
discovery than yield based auctions.
Notified amount: The amount of security to be issued is ‘notified' prior to
the auction date, for information of the public.
29
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 30/60
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may participate as a non-competitor in
the auctions. The unsubscribed portion devolves on RBI or on the Primary
Dealers if the auction has been underwritten by PDs. The devolvement isat the cut-off price/yield.
Underwriting in Auctions
For the purpose of auctions, bids are invited from the Primary Dealers one
day before the auction wherein they indicate the amount to be
underwritten by them and the underwriting fee expected by them.
The auction committee of Reserve Bank of India examines the bids and
based on the market conditions, takes a decision in respect of the amount
to be underwritten and the fee to be paid to the underwriters.
Underwriting fee is paid at the rates bid by PDs , for the underwriting which
has been accepted.
In case of the auction being fully subscribed, the underwriters do not haveto subscribe to the issue necessarily unless they have bid for it.
If there is a devolvement, the successful bids put in by the Primary Dealers
are set-off against the amount underwritten by them while deciding the
amount of devolvement.
On-tap issue
This is a reissue of existing Government securities having pre-determined
yields/prices by Reserve Bank of India. After the initial primary auction of a
security, the issue remains open to further subscription by the investors as
and when considered appropriate by RBI. The period for which the issue is
kept open may be time specific or volume specific. The coupon rate, the
interest dates and the date of maturity remain the same as determined in
30
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 31/60
the initial primary auction. Reserve Bank of India may sell government
securities through on tap issue at lower or higher prices than the prevailing
market prices. Such an action on the part of the Reserve Bank of Indialeads to a realignment of the market prices of government securities. Tap
stock provides an opportunity to unsuccessful bidders in auctions to
acquire the security at the market determined rate.
Fixed coupon issue
Government Securities may also be issued for a notified amount at a fixed
coupon. Most State Development Loans or State Government Securitiesare issued on this basis.
Private Placement
The Central Government may also privately place government securities
with Reserve Bank of India. This is usually done when the Ways and
Means Advance (WMA) is near the sanctioned limit and the market
conditions are not conducive to an issue. The issue is priced at market
related yields. Reserve Bank of India may later offload these securities to
the market through Open Market Operations (OMO).
After having auctioned a loan whereby the coupon rate has been arrived at
and if still the government feels the need for funds for similar tenure, it may
privately place an amount with the Reserve Bank of India. RBI in turn may
decide upon further selling of the security so purchased under the Open
Market Operations window albeit at a different yield.
Open Market Operations (OMO)
Government securities that are privately placed with the Reserve Bank of
India are sold in the market through open market operations of the
Reserve Bank of India. The yield at which these securities are sold may
31
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 32/60
differ from the yield at which they were privately placed with Reserve Bank
of India. Open market operations are used by the Reserve Bank of India to
infuse or suck liquidity from the system. Whenever the Reserve Bank of India wishes to infuse the liquidity in the system, it purchases government
securities from the market, and whenever it wishes to suck out the liquidity
from the system, it sells government securities in the market.
State Government Securities
State Government Securities are securities/loans issued by the Reserve
Bank of India on behalf of various state governments for financing their
developmental needs. These securities are auctioned by the Reserve
Bank of India from time to time. These auctions are of fixed coupon, with
pre announced notified amounts for different states.
Approved Securities
Approved securities are the securities, which are eligible for SLR purposes
under Section 24 of the Banking Regulation Act.

MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS
Securities markets are affected by many factors, mainly
macroeconomic indicators.
Growth Indicators :
The most important growth indicators are Gross Domestic Product
(GDP), Gross Domestic Savings (GDS) and Gross Domestic
Capital Formation (GDCF).
Economic growth is the single – most important macroeconomic
variable. It can be defined as the rate at which the real national
product of a country’s economy has grown during a specific time
period.
Gross Domestic Product ( GDP)
The Gross Domestic Product represents the money value of all final
goods and services produced in the country during the given time
period, generally during one year.
Index of Industrial Production ( IIP)
Broadly, an economy can be classified into three sectors,
Agriculture, Industry and Services. Over a period of time each
sector contributes to the GDP growth in the economy. The growth in
the industrial activity of an economy is measured by Index of
Industrial Production (IIP) with reference to base year.
33
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 34/60
Interest Rates
This is defined as the cost of money, which is determined by thedemand and supply of money. Demand is generally related to
industries and investment and supply pertain to savings. There are
two aspects of interest rates – nominal interest rates and real
interest rates. The real interest rate is obtained by subtracting the
expected inflation from the nominal interest rate. Interest rates play
a role in deciding the level of investment activity in the country.
Liquidity Factors
These are the factors which affect the liquidity in cash markets.
Debt security trading is done in cash markets and are cash settled.
Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)
This represents a bank’s percentage of the net demand and time
liabilities that it has to maintain as a balance with RBI current
account. An increase in the CRR means that more reserves have to
be maintained with RBI, hence leading to tight money conditions.
Statutory Liquidity Reserve (SLR)
Banks are required to maintain daily 25% of their net demand and
time liabilities (NDT) in RBI designated securities. CRR and SLR
serve as monetary policy tools used to signal interest rates and
affect debt markets sentiment from policy point of view.
34
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 35/60
Bank Rate
This is the rate at which RBI rediscounts the securities held by
commercial banks to finance their liquidity needs. The RBI uses
the rate as an interest rate policy signal, and it lays down the basic
interest rate structure.
RBI Reverse Repo Rate
This is the rate at which the RBI borrows the excess liquidity from the
banking system. A lowered rate indicates excess liquidity and that the RBI
is willing to lower the interest rates it will borrow from the inter-bank
market, thereby signaling easy liquidity.
RBI Repo Rate
This is the rate at which the RBI lends the money to the banking system.
Lowered rates indicate the RBI’s preference for lower short-term rates
thereby indicating a lower lifeline.
MONETARY INDICATORS
There are different measures of money supply, which are defined
as M1 , M2 , M3 and M4. Of these, in India M3 is widely used for
indicating the true form of money supply.
The four money supply measures can be defined as follows :
35
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 36/60
M1 = Currency with public + demand deposits + other deposits with RBI
M2 = M1 + Post office Savings Bank Deposits.
M3 = M2 + Time Deposits with Banks.
M4 = M3 + Total Post office Deposits.
Domestic Currency is issued by the central bank to fund investment
activities. A higher than required money supply may lead to inflation as
more money chases fewer goods. The money issued by central bank is
known as reserve money. The banking system, through lending and re-
lending, multiplies the reserve money, and we therefore have
Money Supply = ( Real GDP x Income elasticity of money ) +
( Inflation x price elasticity of money).
INFLATION
Inflation refers to the sustained rise in the general price level over a
given period. In India, the most important measure of inflation is the
Wholesale Price Index ( WPI).
Government normally conduct some periodic surveys to estimate
the proportion of income spent on major goods and services during
the surveyed period. Such commodities will then be given weights
in proportion to the money spent on them based on sample
population expenditure. The initial year’s value of the index of prices
of a select basket of commodities is equated to 100.

SECURITIES MATHAMATICS
Time value of Money
The concept of and measurement of the time value of money is
crucial to corporate finance and investment analysis. It helps us to
compare the value of the rupee at different points in time.
Present Value
The present value of single or bullet cash flow is the amount that
must be invested today to get a given amount at a future date.
Present Value = C t / ( 1 + r ) t
C t = Cash flow at time t , r = rate per period , t = number of
Periods.
The present value of multiple cash flows is the sum of the present
values of individual cash flows as shown below :
Present Value = ∑ C t / ( 1 + r ) t
Discount Rate
The money that is invested can earn a return known as the
discount rate. If the investment is made on guaranteed return
instruments, the discount rate is equal to risk free government
securities yield, which is certain and fixed.

Yield Curve Analysis
Even though there are quite a number of Government securities in
various maturity segments, not many papers across segments are
traded on a particular trading day. This leads to a problem of
estimating prices of non traded bonds.
Yield curve analysis assumes significance as it help in the valuation
and pricing of Government and private bonds. The modeling of the
term structure of interest rates is carried out based on someassumptions. Two types of approaches are mainly adopted – yield
curve based and duration based.
In the yield curve based approach, two methods are followed :
(a) Yield to Maturity Based Yield Curve
Yield to Maturity (YTM) is an application of Internal Rate of
Return (IRR) discounting technique. The IRR of any series of
payments is the discount rate that makes the present value of
the payments equal to price of the asset that generates the cash
flows.
P = C + C + C + …………+ C + M
(1+y) (1+y)2 (1+y)3 (1+y)n
Where P is the price of the bond, C is the coupon payment, M is
the maturity value of the bond, n is period to maturity and y is
the YTM.
38
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 39/60
The yield curve, showing the relationship between the YTM and
the term to maturity is estimated based on the YTM of different
instruments across maturity segments. The shape of the curveto be chosen depends on degree of polynomial to be used,
Sensitivity, Number of traded securities and extent of
extrapolation.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 40/60
The main difference between the YTM and ZCYC is that although
in the YTM the single rate of interest equates the discounted stream
of cash flow, in the ZCYC, there are several spot interest rates for associated term to maturity. Thus, the ZCYC provides the entire set
of interest rate maturity pairs that can be used to discount future
payment.
P = C + C + C + …………+ C + M
(1+r 1) (1+r 2)2 (1+r 3)

r i denotes the spot rate of maturity
Duration
This is a measure of how long on an average the holder of the bond
has to wait before receiving cash payments as is calculated as
follows :
n
D = ∑ t i C i e –yi / B
i = 1
Consider a 3 year 10% coupon bond with a face value of Rs.100. Suppose
the yield is 12% p.a. Payment of Rs 5 made every six months.
Present Value of cash flows using the yield as discount rate is,
5 e-.012*0.5 = 4.709

Total 130 94.213 1.00 2.652
Thus duration of security is 2.652 years.
Macaulay Duration
The weighted average time to maturity of a bond is known as the
Macaulay Duration. The weights are the present value of the cash flows.
Larger cash flows get more weight than smaller cash flows. The Macaulay
Duration is defined for a bond with annual cash flow C t , yield to maturity y
and a maturity T as follows :
D mac = { ∑ t * PV ( C t ) } / { ∑ PV ( Ct ) }
Modified Duration
Macaulay’s Duration can be modified slightly to give better risk
measure known as Modified Duration.
Modified Duration = D mac / ( 1 + y/k ) * k
Where k is frequency of compounding and y is yield to maturity.
Modified Duration directly gives the percentage change in price with
a unit change in yield and also be explained as follows :
41
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 42/60
If one holds a bond and the interest rate moves up, the following
two effects can occur :
• The price of the bond goes down
• The reinvestment income of the coupon goes up.
Similarly, vice versa when interest rate moves down.
If this is plotted on a graph in which the x axis shows the time and y axis
shows interest rates, different cash flows occur. The graph will be plotted
for the changes in price and reinvestment income at various interest rates.
Thus the Modified Duration denotes the point where both meet on the x
axis.
Modified Duration as Interest Rate Sensitivity
For a bond, the basic pricing equation is as follows :
P = ∑ C t / ( 1 + y ) t
Differentiating price with respect to yield y,
dP / dy = - ∑ C t * t / ( 1 + y) ( t + 1)
Using the formula for duration,
dP / dy = - (MD) * P
MD = - ( dP /P) / dy
42
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 43/60
Thus Modified Duration is equal to the negative value of the
percentage change in price for a unit change in the yield. Hence,
MD can be used as an interest rate risk measure for bonds.
Convexity
Duration is accurate measure only for small yield changes,
whereas convexity is a measure that ( combined with duration )
allows us to do a better approximation of the price than using just
duration alone. Convexity measures how duration changes withinterest rates and is second derivative of price with respect to yield.

REGULATORS FOR THE SECURITY MARKETS
SECURITIES EXCHANGE BOARD OF INDIA ( SEBI)
43
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 44/60
The rise in number of investors was leading to an increase in malpractices
on part of the companies, brokers, merchant bankers, investmentconsultants and various other agencies involved in new issues. This led to
erosion of investor confidence in equity market. The Government and the
stock exchanges were helpless as the existing legal framework was just
not enough. Realizing this, Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) was
constituted by the Government of India in April 1988.
The major functions of SEBI are :
1. To promote fair dealings by the issuers of securities and ensure a
market place where funds can be raised at relatively low costs.
2. To provide protection to the investors and safeguard their rights and
interests such that there is steady flow of savings into the market.
3. To regulate and develop a code of conduct and fair practices by the
intermediaries involved in the stock market.
The regulator for the Indian corporate debt market is also Securities and
Exchange Board of India (SEBI). SEBI controls bond market in cases
where entities especially Corporates raise money from public through
public issues.
It regulates the manner in which money is raised and to ensure a fair play
for the retail investor. It forces the issuer to make the retail investor aware
of the risks inherent in the investment and its disclosure norms. SEBI is
also a regulator for the mutual funds and regulates the entry of new mutual
44
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 45/60
funds in the industry. It also regulates the instruments in which these
mutual funds can invest. SEBI also regulates the investments of FIIs.
RESERVE BANK OF INDIA (RBI) :
The Reserve Bank of India is the main regulator for the money market. It
controls and regulates the G-Secs market. Apart from its role as a
regulator, it has to simultaneously fulfill several other important objectives,
such as managing the borrowing programme for the Government of India,
controlling inflation, ensuring adequate credit at reasonable costs to
various sectors of the economy, managing the foreign exchange reserves
of the country and ensuring a stable currency environment.
The RBI controls the issuance of new banking licenses to banks. It
controls the manner in which various scheduled banks raise money from
depositors. Further, it controls the deployment of money through its
policies on CRR, SLR, priority sector lending, export refinancing,
guidelines on investment assets, etc.
The RBI also administers the interest rate policy. Earlier, it used to strictly
control interest rates through a directed system of interest rates. Each type
of lending activity was supposed to be carried out at a pre-specified
interest rate. Over the years, the RBI has moved slowly towards a regime
of market-determined controls.

51
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 52/60
Insurance companies invest chunk of their surplus in Central /
State Government securities as compared to their investment in
equity markets.
Government Securities market is much interesting than equity
market though retail participation is very less.
Technology has changed the market remarkably and helped in
increased participation.
Money Markets also has impact to great extent on security markets.
Security market in short term segment is mostly run by traders than
investors.
There are good opportunities in Government securities market for
profit making by creating trading portfolio.
Reserve Bank of India has good control over security market. It
discourage any off market deal.
Non SLR market is not yet developed as SLR.
RECOMMENDATIONS :
52
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 53/60
Investors should undertake an analysis before investing into the
stock market, as most of the investors do not undertake any
systematic study before entering into any stock.
Individual investors have very less knowledge of capital market.
Their knowledge can be improved by conducting seminars,
workshops on capital market, mainly Government securities
market.
There should be stability in securities market and the factors
which influence the securities market should be properly
analyzed and controlled, volatility should be reduced and risk
factors should be taken care of.
Decisions based on only technical analysis should be avoided
and fundamental analysis has to be done for proper decision
making.
The regulatory authority should keep a check on market
mechanism and bring about a stable guaranteed return to the
retail investor. The investment should be protected. Investor
should shift their focus from fixed income securities to capital
market securities.
Advance technology should be used more and more vigorously
to avoid frauds.
Recommendations by Respondents
• Only genuine company should be allowed to raise capital.
53
8/6/2019 Mba Project Mod
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mba-project-mod 54/60
