PREFACE
Projects are very important for the beginners to gain a practical knowledge about organizations
and the market. Theory till not used in practical field is of no use. So our institute has fixed a
period for summer training when we can enter into the market through some organization in
order to gain some real knowledge.
This in mind I carried out my project in “INDIA INFOLINE” which is one of the largest and
reputed company in India.
The project was a study of “Research on capital market with INDIA INFOLINE” IN SRI
GANGANAGAR CITY.
This report has been prepared after the intensive study of both primary and secondary market
as well as their instruments with respect to broking firm. The information is also collected from
the Customers to understand their investment behavior in both primary and secondary market
respectively as well as their attitude towards the broking firm and its features.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Training is the first step to enter into the permanent job. Market research, market surveys are
some of the pillars which helps us in future to stand with potentiality, knowledge and smart
work.
Keeping this in mind I had carried out my summer training in INDIA INFOLINE
which is India’s favorite share trading company with the largest number of customers. India
infoline offers investors a seamless, hassle-free and paperless way to trade shares, as it
integrates the banking, trading and settlement part of the business. India infoline is trusted by
over a lakh share investors, due to its negotiable brokerage rates, consultation services, margin
facilities, good software as well as many other services like insurance mutual funds etc.It
provided me a platform to deeply analyze the capital market as well as customer investment
perception towards it.
As Systematic, planned and disciplined work always leads to success. Keeping this in mind the
project has been divided into parts.
Firstly with the joining of company as a trainee my induction process was started where I got
familiar with the employees working there.
Secondly, I talked to all the knowledgeable people of the organization who helped me to get an
initial idea about the company and its product and services. I was than lead by the officer who
dealt with the customer to know the kind of services that the company offers to their
customers.
Thirdly, I learned about the various instruments of capital market, working of broking industry
as well as got the practical experience about it also. Then the consumers of Sri Ganganagar city
were selected and interviewed about the company that they used, their views on India infoline
and stock market of India, their expectation from the company, their satisfaction regarding the
special services provided by the company and their investment preferences regarding the
capital market. I got the real time experience about the process of listing of IPO’s as two IPO’s
i.e. Technofeb engineering Ltd., Hindusthan media venture Ltd. were released and widely
promoted by IIFL during my training period. I also learned the practical knowhow of the
trading mechanism of equities, commodities, mutual funds, currencies etc.
Lastly, all the data were compiled together to make a complete report by analyzing the data
collected. Some findings and recommendation were also added to keep the brand
ssssssname growing with its value.

Objective of the study
The main objective of the study is to analyze the capital market mainly the primary and secondary
market and their instruments, understanding the working of broking industry as well as competitive
analysis of India infoline with reference to other broking firms operating in the same area.
The following study was mainly done with an objective to know the state of mind of the investors who
wanted to invest in the stock market & also to know the attitude and preference of the prospective
investors regarding capital market with special reference to India infoline which is a online brokage
house in India.

Research on capital market
Capital Market:
A capital market is a market for securities (debt or equity), where business enterprises
(companies) and governments can raise long-term funds. It is defined as a market in which
money is provided for periods longer than a year [1], as the raising of short-term funds takes
place on other markets (e.g., the money market). The capital market includes the stock market
(equity securities) and the bond market (debt). Financial regulators, such as the UK's
Financial Services Authority (FSA) or the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), oversee the capital markets in their designated
jurisdictions to ensure that investors are protected against fraud, among other duties.
Capital markets may be classified as primary markets and secondary markets. In primary
markets, new stock or bond issues are sold to investors via a mechanism known as
underwriting. In the secondary markets, existing securities are sold and bought among
investors or traders, usually on a securities exchange, over-the- counter, or elsewhere.
Primary Market:
A market that issues new securities on an exchange. Companies, governments and other groups
obtain financing through debt or equity based securities. Primary markets are facilitated by
underwriting groups, which consist of investment banks that will set a beginning price range
for a given security and then oversee its sale directly to investors.
Also known as "new issue market" (NIM). The primary markets are where investors can get
first crack at a new security issuance. The issuing company or group receives cash proceeds
from the sale, which is then used to fund operations or expand the business. Exchanges have
varying levels of requirements which must be met before a security can be sold.
Once the initial sale is complete, further trading is said to conduct on the secondary market,
which is where the bulk of exchange trading occurs each day. Primary markets can see
increased volatility over secondary markets because it is difficult to accurately gauge investor
demand for a new security until several days of trading have occurred.
Secondary market:
A market where investors purchase securities or assets from other investors, rather than from
issuing companies themselves. The national exchanges - such as the New York Stock
Exchange and the NASDAQ are secondary markets. Secondary markets exist for
equities, commodities or when funds, investment banks, or entities such as Fannie Mae
purchase mortgages from issuing lenders. In any secondary market trade, the cash proceeds go
to an investor rather than to the underlying company/entity directly.
9
Capital Market Instruments:
Capital market instruments are responsible for generating funds for companies, corporations,
and sometimes national governments these are used by the investors to make a profit out of
their respective markets. There are a number of capital market instruments used for market
trade, including
Stocks
Equitie commodities
Bonds
Debentures
Treasury-bills
Foreign Exchange
Fixed deposits
Capital market is also known as securities market because long term funds are raised through
trade on debt and equity securities. These activities may be conducted by both companies
and governments. This market is divided into primary capital market and secondary capital
market. The primary market is designed for the new issues and the secondary market is meant
for the trade of existing issues. Stocks and bonds are the two basic capital market instruments
used in both the primary and secondary markets. There are three different markets in which
stocks are used as the capital market instrument: the physical, virtual, and auction markets.
all capital market instruments are designed to provide a return on investment, the risk factors
are different for each and the selection of the instrument depends on the choice of the investor.
The risk tolerance factor and the expected returns from the investment play a decisive role in
the selection by an investor of a capital market instrument. Capital market
instruments should be selected only after doing proper research in order to increase one.

Brief about stock market
The Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, has defined Stock Exchange as an
"association, organization or body of individuals, whether incorporated or not, established for
the purpose of assisting, regulating and controlling business of buying, selling and dealing in
Securities". Stock exchange as an organized security market provides marketability and price
continuity for shares and helps in a fair evaluation of securities in terms of their intrinsic worth.
Thus it helps orderly flow and distribution of savings between different types of investments.
This institution performs an important part in the economic life of a country, acting as a free
market for securities where prices are determined by the forces of supply and demand.
Apart from the above basic function it also assists in mobilizing funds for the Government
and the Industry and to supply a channel for the investment of savings in the performance of its
functions.
The Stock Exchanges in India as elsewhere have a vital role to play in the development of the
country in general and industrial growth of companies in the private sector in particular and
helps the Government to raise internal resources for
11
the implementation of various development programmes in the public sector. As a segment of
the capital market it performs an important function in mobilizing and channelizing resources
which remain otherwise scattered. Thus the Stock Exchanges tap the new resources and
stimulate a broad based investment in the capital structure of industries.
A well developed and healthy stock exchange can be and should be an important institution in
building up a property base along with a socialist in India with broader distribution of wealth
and income. Thus Stock Exchange is a vital organ in a modern society. Without a stock
exchange a modern democratic economy cannot exist. The system of joint stock companies
financed through the public investment as emerged has put the vast means of finances almost
to entrepreneurs' needs.
Finance from external sources mainly from the investing public can become possible only
when an institute like Stock Exchange provides opportunities for the conversion of scattered
savings into profitable investments with the promises of a reasonable yield and minimum
element of risk. Such a mechanism as provided by Stock Exchanges is not merely a source of
capital but also a conduit which channelizes the savings into investment along with a free
movement of capital.
With the probable exception of a totalitarian state no Government will be able to mobilize
resources from the public if the money market in the form of stock exchange does not exist.
The Stock Exchange benefits the entire community in a variety of way. It enables the
producers to raise capital which directly and indirectly gives gainful employment to millions of
people on the one hand and helps consumers to get; the variety of goods needed by them on the
other. It provides opportunities to savers to store the value either as temporary abode of
purchasing power or as a permanent abode of purchasing power in the form of financial assets.
It also helps the segments of the savers who put their savings in commercial firms and non-
banking financial intermediaries because these institutions avail themselves of the services of
Stock Exchange to invest the money thus collected.
The Stock Exchange comes close enough to a perfectly competitive market allowing the forces
of demand and supply a reasonable degree of freedom to operate as compared to other markets
specially the commodity markets. This segment of the factor market can be considered as a
perfect or a nearly perfect market. Apart from providing a mechanism for transacting business
in stock and shares it generates genuine potential for a new entrepreneur to take up
initiative in the private sector
12
enterprises and allows the expansion of investing community by offering gainful development
of their otherwise sluggish or shy capital. The Stock Exchange must assume the responsibility
of protecting the rights of investors specially the small investors in the Joint Stock Companies.
The Second World War broke out 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 a
supply base.
On account of the restrictive controls on cotton, bullion, seeds and other commodities, those dealing in
them found in the stock market as the only outlet for their activities. They were anxious to join the
trade and their number was swelled by numerous others. Many new associations were constituted for
the purpose and Stock Exchanges in all parts of the country were floated The Uttar Pradesh Stock
Exchange Limited (1940), Nagpur Stock Exchange Limited (1940) and Hyderabad Stock Exchange
Limited (1944) were incorporated.
In Delhi two stock exchanges - Delhi Stock and Share Brokers' Association Limited and the Delhi
Stocks and Shares Exchange Limited - were floated and later in June 1947, amalgamated into the Delhi
Stock Exchange Association Limited.
13
THE NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE OF INDIA LIMITED
The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the report of the High Powered
Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges, which recommended promotion of a
National Stock Exchange by financial institutions (FIs) to provide access to investors from all
across the country on an equal footing. Based on the recommendations, NSE was promoted by
leading Financial Institutions at the behest of the Government of India and was incorporated in
November 1992 as a tax- paying company unlike other stock exchanges in the country.
On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 in
April 1993, NSE commenced operations in the Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment in
June 1994. The Capital Market (Equities) segment commenced operations in November 1994
and operations in Derivatives segment commenced in June 2000.
NSE.IT Ltd.
It is also a wholly owned subsidiary of NSE and is its IT arm. This arm of the NSE is uniquely
positioned to provide products, services and solutions for the securities industry. NSE.IT
primarily focus on in the area of trading, broker front-end and back- office, clearing and
settlement, web-based, insurance, etc. Along with this, it also provides consultancy and
implementation services in Data Warehousing, Business Continuity Plans, Site Maintenance
and Backups, Stratus Mainframe Facility Management, Real Time Market Analysis &
Financial News.
14
National Securities Depository Ltd. (NSDL)
NSE joined hands with IDBI and UTI to promote dematerialization of securities. This step was
taken to solve problems related to trading in physical securities. It commenced operations in
November 1996.
A very common name for all traders in the stock market, BSE, stands for Bombay Stock
Exchange. The oldest market not only in the country, but also in Asia. The early days of BSE
was known as "The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association." It was established in the year
1875 and became the first stock exchange in the country to be recognized by the government.
In 1956, BSE obtained a permanent recognition from the Government of India under the
Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956. In the past and even now, it plays a pivotal
role in the development of the country's capital market. This is recognized worldwide and its
index, SENSEX, is also tracked worldwide. Earlier it was an Association of Persons (AOP), but
now it is a demutualised and corporatized entity incorporated under the provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to the BSE (Corporatization and Demutualization) Scheme,
2005 notified by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

SEBI:-
SEBI as the Capital Market Regulator in India, has twin objectives i.e. of regulating as well as
developing the Market.
The SEBI is the main regulatory body in the Indian capital market scenario . SEBI is
responsible for :
Since then, SEBI had introduced several stock market reforms. These reforms significantly
transformed the face of Indian stock markets. SEBI introduced on-line trading and demat of
shares which did away with the age-old paper-based trading, thus bringing more transparency
into the trading system. Analysts and experts appreciated SEBI for these reforms. One stock
market analyst said, "I'm sure that most of us would agree that SEBI has handled the challenges
exceptionally well."
In spite of SEBI's capital market reforms and increasing regulatory powers over the years,
analysts felt that it had failed miserably in stopping stock market scams. In the ten years after
16
the Mehta scam, several scams came to light, casting doubt on the efficiency of SEBI as a
regulatory body. However, a few analysts felt there was a need to confer more powers to SEBI
to stop these scams. One analyst commented, "It's rather daunting task of putting in place a
regulatory framework for the market against all odds."
In the 1980s, Indian capital markets witnessed significant changes. During the sixth Five-Year
plan (1980-85), many major industrial policy changes were introduced. These included opening
up the Indian economy to foreign corporations and emphasizing a greater role for the private
sector.

is for funds. Today, practically 99.9% settlement (of shares) takes place on De-mat mode
only. Thus, it is advisable to have a Beneficiary Owner (BO) account to trade at the

Benefits Of De-mat Account:
1. A safe and convenient way of holding securities (equity and debt instruments both).
2. Transactions involving physical securities are costlier than those involving dematerialized
securities (just like the transactions through a bank teller are costlier than ATM
transactions). Therefore, charges applicable to an investor are lesser for each transaction.
4. Increased liquidity, as securities can be sold at any time during the trading hours (between
9:55 AM to 3:30 PM on all working days), and payment can be received in a very short
period of time.
5. Risks like forgery, thefts, bad delivery, delays in transfer etc, associated with physical
certificates, are eliminated.

ANALYSIS
SWOT ANALYSIS.
The SWOT analysis provides information that is helpful in matching the firm’s resources and
capabilities to the competitive environment in which it operates. As such, it is instrumental in
strategy formulation and selection. The following diagram shows how SWOT ANALYSIS fits into
an environmental scan:
ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN
47
SWOT ANALSIS FRAMEWORK
Strengths:
A firm’s strengths are its resources and capabilities that can be used as a basis for developing
acompetitive advantage. Examples of such strengths include:
➢ 2-in-1 account integrates your broking and demat accounts. All accounts are from IIFL
and very well integrated. This feature makes IIFL the most interesting player in online
trading facility. There is absolutely no manual interfere require. This is truly online
trading environment.
➢ Unlike most of the online trading companies in India which require transferring money
to the broker's pool or towards deposits, at IIFL you can manage your own demat.
➢ Investment online in IPOs, Mutual Funds, GOI Bonds, and Postal Savings Schemes all
from one website. General Insurance is also available from IIFL Lombard.
48
WEAKNESS
➢ It does not keep any condition as to collect minimum amount of brokerage from its
clients
➢ Equity analysis report to support the investment decision of its clients
➢ Trading via branch network, telephones and internet account i.e. both online and offline
➢ Strong market presence and increased market share leading to a virtuous cycle of growth
and profitability
➢ The incentive model is created such that it leads to generation of higher revenue for the
organization. This acts as a motivating factor for the employees to perform well.
➢ Induction of new employees through an extensive computer based training module that
equips them to service their clients efficiently.
➢ Getting access to India Infoline website during market session can be frustrating.
➢ IIFLbrokerage is high.
➢ Not all stocks are available under Margin Plus
➢ Too many people try to eat the same piece of pie i.e. people employed in INDIA
INFOLINE ltd hit the same area to target their customers.
➢ There should be a separate set of staff working in fields and trading on behalf of their
clients: INDIA INFOLINE ltd has same set of staff who are making clients and also
trading on behalf of clients this hinders the relationship manager to provide adequate and
necessary tips to the clients and at times the managers are not in the position to answer
the questions of their clients relating to the current market position as they are on fields.
➢ Due to the continuous need to meet the targets, some of the Relationship managers crack
under pressure and thus leave the organization
➢ There is no limit to the maximum number of clients that a Relationship manager can
handle. This affects the level of service provided to the clients who are not volume
traders.
49
Opportunities:
The external environmental analysis may reveal certain new opportunities for profit and growth
some examples of such opportunities include:
➢ The market will gradually evolve into two segments, where there will be self-directed traders
and those who seek advice for making their investment decisions. The latter set will prefer to
speak to the broker, get his advice and then trade through certain channels. So both have to
co-exist, as is the case in almost all the mature markets
➢ Scope of online trading on BSE
➢ The Capital market in the last few years has turned out to be one of the favorable avenues for
the retail investors. This is due to the performance of the Indian Industry in various sectors
and the Economy in general. Even the future outlook looks promising
➢ Market seems favorable for commodities trading.
➢ Arrival of new technologies
Threats:
Changes in the external environmental also may present threat to the firm some of the examples
include
➢ Companies like Relegates Share khan, and Private Brokers are major threats to IIFL.
➢ Local brokers capable of charging lower brokerage
➢ Industry competitors vying for the same target segment.
➢ Changes in SEBI guidelines & other tax implications.
➢ Government Regulations
➢ Shifts in consumer tastes away from firm’s products
➢ Emergence of competitor company who charging less brokerage

RESEARCH METHDOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
Research in common parlance refers a search for knowledge. Once can also define research as a
scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific c topic. Infect, research is
an art of scientific investigation. “Research as a systematized effort to gain new knowledge”
Research is a process of steps used to collect and analyze information to increase our
understanding of a topic or issue". It consists of three steps: Pose a question, collect data to
answer the question, and present an answer to the question.
51
Sample:-
The sample was selected randomly from the people of different fields another survey and
telephonic interview was done among the customers of IIFL.
Sample size:-
The study helps me to know the state of mind of the investors & their expected charges
regarding Brokerage, Return, Annual maintenance charges, and so on as well as their investment
preferences regarding capital market.
The Brokerage house is also benefited as it come to know what an individual investor expects
when he or she is going to invest in capital market, to which extent the customer is satisfied
with the IIFL. The firm will also come to know about the investors mindset about their
investment in primary market or secondary market.
By this study the firm will come to know about the lagging areas and the loopholes and can
overcome them and it can also formulate various efficient competitive strategies with the
help of competitive analysis to outrage their competitors.
Hypothesis
A hypothesis is a hypothetical statement regarding the relation between two or more variables.
They must be statements of the relationship between variables and they must carry clear
implications for testing the stated relations.
A broad hypothesis is given below from which more focused hypothesis may be derived “Car
manufacturers have ignored the preferences of women in car design”. By reducing
52
the problem to a hypothetical statement, the problem has become more focused and the
hypothesis can be tested through research methods.
Research Methodology
The project started by approaching India Info line Ltd to know about the capital market, working
of broking industries along with the competitive analysis of India Info line with reference to the
other broking companies operating in the same area. The studies also focus on consumer

expectations from a brokerage house . This will be reflected from the questions contained in the
questionnaire discussed later in the project report.
The survey was also conducted to know the state of mind of the investors who wanted to invest
in the stock market & also to know the attitude and preference of the prospective investors
regarding India info line.

expected charges regarding Brokerage, Return, Annual maintenance charges & also to know the
attitude and preference of the prospective investors regarding capital market. Results are
