As a result of this NSDL and CDSL came into picture. It aims at ensuring the safety and soundness of Indian marketplaces by developing settlement solutions that increase efficiency, minimize risk and reduce costs. Our project on “Demat System in India” gave us a detailed picture of how securities are transferred electronically in the share market.

This study helped us in finding out what additional services other DPs provide and how the charges differ.

It refers to all the facilities and the institutional arrangements for borrowing and lending funds. In other words, it is concerned with the raising of money capital for purposes of making long-term investments.

The demand for long term capital comes predominantly from private sector manufacturing industries, agriculture sector, trade and the Government agencies. While, the supply of funds for the capital market comes largely from individual and corporate savings, banks, insurance companies, specialised financing agencies and the surplus of Governments. The Indian capital market is broadly divided into the gilt-edged market and the industrial securities market. ▪ The gilt-edged market refers to the market for Government and semi-government securities, backed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

Slowly in the pace of time trading of shares and securities started in the banks and the Town Hall of Mumbai became the epic center of it. With the increasing in trade in stocks the Company act of 1850 was introduced which focused on the limited liability concept which later became the insight for the modern joint stock for company in volume trading.
