INTRODUCTION

The trading on stock exchanges in India used to take place through open
outcry without use of information technology for immediate matching or
recording of trades. This was time consuming and inefficient. This
imposed limits on trading volumes and efficiency. In order to provide
efficiency, liquidity and transparency, NSE introduced a nation-wide on-
line fully automated screen based trading system where a member can
punch into the computer quantities of securities and the prices at which
he likes to transact and the transaction is executed as soon as it finds a
matching sale or buy order from a counter party. Screen based electronic
system electronically matches orders on a strict price/time priority and
hence cuts down on time, cost and risk of error, as well as on fraud
resulting in improved operational efficiency. It allows faster
incorporation of price sensitive information into prevailing prices, thus
increasing the informational efficiency of markets. It enables market
participants, irrespective of their geographical locations, to trade with one
another simultaneous, improving the depth and liquidity of the market. It
provides full anonymity by accepting orders, big or small, from members
without revealing their identity, thus providing equal access to
everybody. It also provides a perfect audit trial, which helps to resolve
disputes by logging in the trade execution process entirety. The sucked
liquidity from other exchanges and in the very first year of its operation,
NSE became the leading stock exchange in the country, impacting the
fortunes of other exchanges and forcing them to adopt SBTS also. Today
India can boast that almost 100% trading take place through electronic
order matching.



Now dematerialisation of shares is introduced “a new concept” which
converts paper based physical trading into electronic trading. It is a safe
and convenient way to hold securities. Screen based trading system helps
in faster transfer of securities and no stamp duty is required on transfer of
securities. The trading system operates on a strict price time priority. All
orders received on the system are sorted with the best priced order getting
the first priority for matching i.e. the best buy order match with the best
sell order. Orders are matched automatically by the computer keeping the
system transparent, objective and fair. The trading system provides
tremendous flexibility to the users in terms of kinds of orders that can be
placed on the system. The trading system also provides market
information online.
In order to promote dematerialization of securities, NSE joined hands
with leading financial institutions to establish the national securities
depository Ltd. (NSDL), the first depository in the country, with the
objective of enhancing the efficiency in settlement systems as also to
reduce the menace of fake/forged and stolen securities. This has ushered
in an era of dematerialised trading and settlement. SEBI has made
dematerialised settlement mandatory in an ever –increasing number of
securities in a phased manner, thus bringing about an increase in the
proportion of shares delivered in dematerialised form. There is an
increasing preference to settle trades, particularly in high value securities,
in demat form. Such high level of demat settlement reassures success of
rolling settlement.



WHAT IS DEMAT

In India, a demat account, the abbreviation for dematerialised account, is
a type of banking account which dematerializes paper-based physical
stock shares. Conversion of Securities from Physical (Paper) Mode into
Electronic Mode is Called Dematerialisation. The Client opens Demat
Account with any DP. Upon Demat, the Certificates are destroyed and
credit entry of exactly equal number of Securities is created in Depository
in Electronic mode. The B.O. account of holder is credited and the
securities loose their identities. The dematerialised account is used to
avoid holding physical shares: the shares are bought and sold through a
stock broker.

This account is popular in India. The market regulator, securities and
exchange board of India (SEBI) mandates a demat account for share
trading above 500 shares. As of April 2006, it became mandatory that
any person holding a demat account should possess a permanent account
number (PAN), and the deadline for submission of PAN details to the
depository lapsed on January 2007.

Dematerialisation is the process by which physical certificates of an
investor are converted to an equivalent number of securities in electronic
form and credited in the investor's account with its DP. In order to
dematerialize certificates; an investor will have to first open an account
with a DP and then request for the dematerialisation of certificates by
filling up a dematerialisation request form [DRF], which is available with
the DP and submitting the same along with the physical certificates. The
investor has to ensure that before the certificates are handed over to the



DP for demat, they are defaced by marking "Surrendered for
Dematerialisation" on the face of the certificates.

ACCOUNT OPENING

To avail the services of a depository an investor is required
to open an account with a depository participant of any
depository.

PROCEDURE FOR OPENING AN ACCOUNT

A demat account are opened on the same lines as that of a Bank
Account. Prescribed Account opening forms are available with the DP,

The account holder is called 'beneficial owner' in a depository system and
the account is known as 'beneficiary account'.

Features of Beneficary Account·

• No minimum balance is required to be retained in a beneficiary
account.
• An investor can close a beneficiary account with one DP and open
an account with another DP.
• To dematerialise existing physical holdings, the beneficiary
account must be opened in the same ownership pattern in which
the securities are held in the physical form e.g.,if one certificate is
in individual name and another certificate is jointly held by X & Y,
two different accounts should be opened. However, in case of joint
holders, securities can be dematerialised in the same account even
though share certificates are in different sequence of names e.g.,
shares held in joint names of X & Y can also be dematerialised in
an account opened in the names of Y & X as well by submitting an
additional form (Transposition Form) alongwith Demat Request
Form to the DP.However, shares held jointly by X & Y cannot be



dematerialised in an account opened in the name of only X or only

their accounts without giving a separate receipt instruction.

t The demat account cannot be operated on "either or survivor" basis
like the bank account. In case of the joint account for the beneficial
owners, all the joint holders have to sign the account opening form.

The investor will submit to his DP the duly filled in account opening
form & DP-client agreement along with the documents.

f The DP will verify whether the account opening form has been duly
filled in or not. He will also verify the submitted documents. For
corporate investors, the DP will also verify whether the board resolution
for the authorized signatories has been enclosed. The DP will ensure that
client's signature is recorded on the form which will serve as specimen
for authorizations in future.

f If the application form and documents are in order, then the DP will
accept them and give an acknowledgement slip duly signed and stamped
to the client. The DP will execute the agreement and give a copy of it to
the client.

t After completion of all documentation, the DP will enter the client
details as mentioned in the account opening form in the DPM (software
provided by NSDL to the DP) screen provided for the purpose. After
entering client details in the system, a client account number will be
generated by the DPM. The DP will enter this in the account opening
form.

On successful opening of the account, the DP will give:

• Client Id - an eight digit number to be used along with DP Id for
any future transactions.
• Delivery Instruction slip book.
• A copy of the report listing the client details captured in the DPM
database to the client. The report will be generated by the DPM.



PREREQUISTIES FOR DEMATERIALISATION
REQUEST

1. The registered holder of the securities should make the request.

2. Securities to be dematerialised must be recognised by NSDL/CDSL as
eligible. In other words, only those securities whose ISIN has been activated
by NSDL/CDSL, can be dematerialised.

3. The company/issuer should have established connectivity with
NSDL/CDSL. Only after such connectivity is established that the securities
of that company/issuer are recognized to be "available for
dematerialisation".

4. The holder of securities should have a beneficiary account in the same name
as it appears on the security certificates to be dematerialised.

5. The request should be made in the prescribed dematerialisation request
form.



REASONS FOR DEMATERIALISATION REQUEST
REJECTION

1. The quantity of shares mentioned in the DRF is more than the actual
certificates sent.

2. The quantity of shares mentioned in the DRF is less than the actual
certificates sent.

3The certificates sent are fake.

4. The certificates sent are reported Stolen.

5. Original certificates present are those for which the duplicates have
already been issued.

6. Endorsements on the certificates are forged.

7. Securities stand on a different name than those mentioned in the DRF.

8. The details mentioned on the certificates do not match with the details
on the DRF, or the order of the holders name on the DRF is different
from the names given on the certificates. The scrutiny by the DP is
incomplete.

9. The securities attached / DRF does not pertain to the R&T Agent to
whom the DRF is sent.

10. Electronic request received but physical certificates are not received
with in 15 days.



11. Specimen Signature on the DRF differs from the signatures recorded
with the Registrar / Transfer Agents.

12. The certificates sent have a court injunction against them

Precautions:

• Corporate investors to enclose Memorandum of Association/Trust
deed/Board resolution for the authorized signatories along with the
account opening form.
• Details with respect to the bank account details of an investor must
be indicated in the space provided for the same in the account
opening form.
• If an investor is interested in availing the facility of standing
instructions for credits to his account, then such instructions may
be given to the DP. Otherwise, he will need to give a receipt
instruction to his DP for receiving credits to his account.

BENEFITS OF DEMATERIALISATION

• No stamp duty for transfer of securities in the Depository System.
In the case of physical shares, stamp duty of 0.25% of sale value
is payable on transfer of shares.

• Elimination of bad deliveries and all risks associated with physical
certificates such as loss in transit, theft, mutilation, damage, etc.

• Facility for freezing/locking of investor accounts to make it non-
operational for specified period.

• Instead of filling up transfer deed(s) a simpler form is to be given
`to the DP.

• Facility to pledge and hypothecate securities. Pledging
Dematerialised securities is easier and advantageous as compared



to pledging physical shares. In respect of shares in "compulsory
Demat" category, banks prefer to lend against shares held in
electronic form, and offer better terms.

• Odd lots are not differentiated in the electronic system. Even a
single share can be traded at the market rates without any
reduction in realisation.

• Just like a bank branch, the DP will give a periodical statement of
account of holdings. In addition, investor can obtain a statement
of holdings as and when required for a fee.

• In case investor loses the statement of holdings, he can inform his
DP and obtain a duplicate statement. Investor's statement of
holdings cannot be used by anybody else for trading in his
account.

• When an investor opens an account with a DP, he signs an
agreement with the DP in which the DP will indemnify the
investor for any mis-use of his holdings. The depository will also
ensure thatthe interests of the investor are protected. Grievances,
if any, against his DP will be resolved by the Depository.

• Every transaction in investor's account will have to be authorised
by him, which ensures total control of the investor over his
investment

• A safe and convenient way to hold securities and there is
immediate transfer of securities.

• Change in address recorded with DP gets registered with all
companies in which investor holds securities electronically
eliminating the need to correspond with each of them separately.

• Reduction in paperwork involved in transfer of securities and
Reduction in transaction cost

• Automatic credit into demat account of shares, arising out of
bonus/split/consolidation/merger etc.



DEMAT PROCESS

1. The registered holder of the securities makes the request.

2. Securities must be recognised by Depository as eligible.

3. Client submits DRF & physical certificates to DP. DP checks
securities.

4. Client defaces certificates and DP punches two holes on name of
company.

5. DP enters demat request in system for Depository.

6. DP dispatches certificates along with DRF to R&T.

7. Depository records the details and sends to R&T.

8. R&T agent verifies the details and confirms to Depository.

9. Depository credits the demat securities to BO a/c of client and
intimates DP electronically.

10.DP issues statement to client.



DEMAT -PROCESS

Demat Process:

Shareholders With Physical Certificate

physical share certificates
Participants

Shareholder opens his account
Account Opening with DP.

R&T Agent, the Depository
confirms Dematerialisation.

Credit to the BO
A/c. of the Investor



INFORMATION NEEDED FOR DEMAT ACCOUNT

An investor has to give his bank account details at the time of account
opening. It is for the protection of investor’s interest. The bank account
number will be mentioned on the interest or dividend warrant, so that
such warrant cannot be encashed by any one else. Further, cash
corporate benefits such as dividend, interest will be credited to the
investors account directly through the ECS (Electronic Clearing Service)
facility, wherever available, by the company.

An investor can change the details of his bank account. Since in the
depository system monetary benefits on the security balances are paid as
per the bank account details provided by the investor at the time of
account opening, the investor must ensure that any subsequent change in
bank account details is informed to the DP.

An Investor should immediately inform his/her DP if the address of
the investor changes, who in turn will update the records. This will
obviate the need of informing different companies.

An investor can open more than one account in the same name with
the same DP and also with different DPs.
An investor has not to keep any minimum balance of securities in his/her
accounts. Depository / DP can be chosen by investor as per convenience
irrespective of the DP of the broker.
The demat account must be opened in the same ownership pattern such as
securities owned individually in which the securities are held in the
physical form. e. g. if one share certificate is in the individual name and
another certificate is jointly with somebody, two different accounts
would have to be opened.



WHAT IS DEPOSITORY AND DEPOSITORY
PARTICIPANT

Depository can in many ways be compared to a bank. Securities of the
investors are held in electronic / book entry form by the Depository.
Apart from holding the securities, Depository also provides services
related to transactions in securities.

In India, a Depository Participant (DP) is described as an agent of the
depository. They are the intermediaries between the depository and the
investors. The relationship between the DPs and the depository is
governed by an agreement made between the two under the Depositories
Act. In a
Strictly legal sense, a DP is an entity who is registered as such with SEBI
under the provisions of the SEBI Act.

Think of it like a bank. The head office where all the technology rests and
details of all accounts held is like the depository. And the DPs are the
branches that cater to individuals.

At present two Depositories viz. National Securities Depository Limited
(NSDL) and Central Depository Services (I) Limited (CDSL) are
registered with SEBI



NATIONAL SECURITIES DEPOSITORY LIMITED (NSDL)

NSDL was the first depository organization promoted by IDBI, UTI, and
National Stock Exchange (NSE). NSDL was set up to provide electronic
depository facilities for securities being traded in capital market. The
depositories ordinance was promulgated by the Government of India in
September 1995. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
issued guidelines for depositories in May, 1996.

NSDL has minimum net worth of Rs 100 crores. NSDL deals with shares
in dematerialized form through depository participants who are agents of
investor banks, stockbrokers and financial institutions. NSDL Depository
Participant can be a public financial institution, bank, custodian,
registered stockbroker or a non-banking financial company subject to the
approval from the Depository Company and SEBI. NSDL aims at
ensuring the safety and soundness of Indian capital market by
developing settlement solutions that increase efficiency, minimize risk
and reduce costs.



CENTRAL DEPOSITORY SERVICES (INDIA) LIMITED (CDSL)

CENTRAL DEPOSITORY SERVICEES LIMITED (CDSL) is second
depository in India, is set up to meet the objective the Act & to fulfill the
user’s need. CDSL is secured “Certificate of Commencement” of
business on Feb 8, 1999 from SEBI. The balances in the investors’
account recorded and maintained with CDSL can be obtained through the
DP. The DP is required to provide the investor, at regular intervals, a
statement of account, which gives the details of the securities holdings
and transactions. The depository system has effectively eliminated paper-
based certificates, which were prone to be fake, forged, counterfeit
resulting in bad deliveries. CDSL offers an efficient and instantaneous
transfer of securities.

CDSL was promoted by Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (BSE) jointly
with leading banks such as State Bank of India, Bank of India, Bank of
Baroda, HDFC Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Union Bank of India and
Centurion Bank. Each and every activity of CDSL stem from the
essential reason behind forming this depository, i.e. to encourage India's
individual investors to benefit from actively participating in a depository.



Services provided by Depository system

• Dematerialisation (usually known as demat) is converting physical
certificates to electronic form.

• Rematerialisation, known as remat, is reverse of demat, i.e. getting
physical certificates from the electronic securities.

• Transfer of securities, change of beneficial ownership

• Settlement of trades done on exchange connected to the Depository

• Pledge / Hypothecation of demat shares, viz. Loan against shares

• Electronic credit in public offering of the Companies

• Non - Cash corporate benefits, viz. Bonus / Rights - direct credit
into electronic form

• Depository restrict the risk of fraud



The charges for account closure and securities transfer due
to account closing.

SEBI vide Circular No. MRD/DoP/Dep/Cir-22 /05 dated November 09,
2005 advised that with effect from January 09, 2006, no charges shall be
levied by a depository on DP and consequently, by a DP on a Beneficiary
Owner (BO) when a BO transfers all the securities lying in his account to
another branch of the same DP or to another DP of the same depository
or another depository, provided the BO Account/s at transferee DP and at
transferor DP are one and the same, i.e. identical in all respects. In case
the BO Account at transferor DP is a joint account, the BO Account at
transferee DP should also be a joint account in the same sequence of
ownership.

All other transfer of securities consequent to closure of account, not
fulfilling the above-stated criteria, would be treated like any other
transaction and charged as per the schedule of charges agreed upon
between the BO and the DP.

Freeze or lock of an account

Investors can freeze or lock their accounts for any given period of time, if
so desired. Accounts can be frozen for debits (preventing transfer of
securities out of accounts) or for credits (preventing any movements of
hindrances into accounts) or for both.



Trading / Settlement

Traditionally settlement system on Indian stock exchanges gave rise to
settlement risk due to the time that elapsed before trades were settled by
physical movement of certificates. The process of physical moving the
securities from seller to his broker to clearing corporation to the buyer’s
broker and finally to the buyer took time with the risk of delay
somewhere along the chain. Now depository holds securities in
dematerialised form. The procedure for buying and selling dematerialised
securities is similar to the procedure for buying and selling physical
securities. The difference lies in the process of delivery (in case of sale)
and receipt (in case of purchase) of securities.

In case of purchase:-

• The broker will receive the securities in his account on the payout
day
• The broker will give instruction to its DP to debit his account and
credit investor's account
• Investor will give ‘Receipt Instruction to DP for receiving credit by
filling appropriate form. However one can give standing
instruction for credit in to ones accounts that will obviate the need
of giving Receipt Instruction every time.

In case of sale:-

The investor will give delivery instruction to DP to debit his account and
credit the broker’s account. Such instruction should reach the DP’s office
at least 24 hours before the pay-in as other wise DP will accept the
instruction only at the investor’s risk.



'Standing Instruction' given in the account opening form

In a bank account, credit to the account is given only when a 'pay in' slip
is
submitted together with cash/cheque. Similarly, in a depository account
'Receipt in' form has to be submitted to receive securities in the account.
However, for the convenience of investors, facility of 'standing
instruction' is given. If you say 'Yes' for standing instruction, you need
not submit 'Receipt in' slip everytime you buy securities. If you are
particular that securities can be credited to your account only with your
consent, then do not say 'yes' [or tick ] to standing instruction in the
application form.

Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS) and the precautions which
one need to observe with respect to Delivery Instruction
Slips

To give the delivery one has to fill a form called Delivery Instruction Slip
(DIS). DIS may be compared to cheque book of a bank account. The
following precautions are to be taken in respect of DIS:-

• Ensure and insist with DP to issue DIS book.
• Ensure that DIS numbers are pre-printed and DP takes
acknowledgment for the DIS booklet issued to investor.
• Ensure that your account number [client id] is pre-stamped.
• If the account is a joint account, all the joint holders have to sign
the
instruction slips. Instruction cannot be executed if all joint holders
have not signed.
• Avoid using loose slips.
• Do not leave signed blank DIS with anyone viz., broker/sub-
broker.
• Keep the DIS book under lock and key when not in use.



• If only one entry is made in the DIS book, strike out remaining
space to prevent misuse by any one.
• Investor should personally fill in target account -id and all details
in the DIS.

It is possible to give delivery instructions to the DP over Internet .Both
NSDL and CDSL have launched this facility for delivering instructions to
your DP over Internet, called SPEED-e and EASI respectively. The
facility can be used by all registered users after paying the applicable
charges.

Lending and borrowing of demat securities

If any person required to deliver a security in the market does not readily
have that security, he can borrow the same from another person who is
willing to lend as per the Securities Lending and Borrowing Scheme.
Lending and borrowing has to be done through an 'Approved
Intermediary' registered with SEBI. The approved intermediary would
borrow the securities for further lending to borrowers. Lenders of the
securities and borrowers of the securities enter into separate agreements
with the approved intermediary for lending and borrowing the securities.
Lending and borrowing is affected through the depository system.
You can lend your securities through Approved Intermediaries registered
with SEBI.

One can lend his/her demat seurities by entering into an agreement with
the approved intermediary to be a lender under this scheme. After that,
you may lend securities any time by submitting lending instruction to
your DP.
Intermediary may return the securities at any time or at the end of the
agreed period of lending. Intermediary has to repay the securities
together with any benefits received during the period of the loan.
One can receive the corporate benefits which would accrue on these
securities during the period of lending.The benefits will be given to the
Intermediary/borrower. However, whenever the securities are being
returned / recalled. Intermediary/borrower will return the securities
together with benefits received.

ISIN

 International Securities Identification Number (ISIN)

Each of the securities dematerialised in the NSDL depository bears a
distinctive ISIN – an identification number. International Securities
Identification Number (ISIN) is a unique identification number for each
security issued in any of the International Standards Organisation (ISO)
member countries in accordance with the ISIN Standard (ISO 6166). ISO
6166 was developed for use in an international (cross-border) as well as
domestic trades. ISIN is a 12-character long identification mark. It has
three components - a pre-fix, a basic number and a check digit. The pre-
fix is a two-letter country code as stated under ISO 3166 (IN for India).
The basic number comprises nine alphanumeric characters (letter and/or
digits). The check digit at the end of the ISIN is computed according to
the modulus 10 "Double-Add- Double". It establishes that the ISIN is
valid.

Securities issued by the same company, issued at different times or
carrying different rights, terms and conditions are considered different
securities for the purpose of allocating ISIN and are allotted distinct
ISINs. In India, SEBI assigns ISIN to various publicly traded securities.
Different ISINs are allocated to the physical and dematerialised securities
of the same issue.



SEBI being the national numbering agency for India has permitted NSDL
to allot international securities identification number (ISIN) for demat
shares. The ISINs allotted by NSDL does not at any point of time breach
the uniqueness of ISIN of physical form for the same security. ISIN for a
security is allotted when the security is admitted to NSDL. The
numbering system is simple. The numbering system of ISIN is in
compliance with the structure of ISIN adopted by SEBI.

International Securities Identification Number:

1. Issued by International Standards Organisation (ISO) member
countries in accordance with ISO 6166.
2. ISIN is 12 digit alpha numeric number.
3. It has three components, prefix, basic & check digit.
4. Prefix is a two letter country code i.e. IN for India.
5. The basic number has nine alpha numeric characters.
6. The last digit is check digit. It ensures the ISIN is valid.

Numbering system of ISIN

The numbering structures for securities in NSDL is of 12 digit alpha
numeric string. The first two characters represent country code i.e. IN(in
accordance wirh ISO 3166). The third characters represents the issuer
type as detailed below:



Issuers type

Issuer type code allotted

Central government A

State government B

Municipal corporation C

Union territories D

Company, statutory corporation, E
Baking company

Mutual funds including UTI F

The list may be expanded per the needs. Maximum issuer types can be 35
(A to Z and 0 to 8. the pro-rata dividend shares are identified by 9). The
next 4 characters (fourth to seventh character) represent company
identity. The first 3 characters are numeric. The fourth character is alpha
character. The numbering begins with ‘001A’ and continues till ‘999A’
and proceeds to ‘001B’. the next two characters (the eight and ninth
characters) represent security type for a given issuer. Both the characters
are numeric. The next two characters (the tenth and eleventh characters)



are serially issued for each security of the issuer entering the system. Last
digit is double-add-double check digit.

The security types are planned which may be expanded as per the need as
detailed below:-

Security type code

Equity 01

Non voting equity 02

Convertible preference shares 03

Non convertible preference shares 04

Mutual fund units –close ended 05

Mutual fund units-open ended 06

Secured debentures 07

Unsecured debentures 08

Regular return bonds-promissory notes 09

Floating rate bonds 10

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology refers to the search for Knowledge. It is a way to
systematically solve the research problem. In it we study the various
steps that are generally adopted by the researcher in studying his research
problem along with logic behind them.

Research Methodology concerning a research problem or study
provide answers to various questions like; why a research study has been
undertaken, how the research problem has been defined, what data have
been collected and what particular method has been adopted to collect the
data, what technique has been used for analyzing the data and a host of
similar other questions

Though there are more than one alternative approaches available to the
researcher, but this not enough to make the task of selecting the suitable
research design simpler. Like the so-called suitable research design may
require some in between approach. The objective of study being the main
determinant of the validity and reliability of the method adopted the
degree of usefulness of the scientific method. Since there are many
aspects of research methodology, in line of action has to be chosen from
variety of alternatives, so that individual choice of suitable method is
further complicated and make a viable whole. The choice of suitable
method is further complicated by the possibility of many permutations
and combinations. The fair selection can be arrived at through the
objective assessment and of course comparison of various alternatives.
The finally selected line of action must ensure that this is indeed best one
as against those rejected by the researcher. in addition, the circumstances



and problems also having a bearing in the choice. To count a fem,
limitations could be imposed in the sense of funds available, time and
urgency in conducting the research. So the final choice must be based on
assessment of its advantage and disadvantages when weighted against
affecting factors.

Research methodology can be said to have four major components
namely-Research design, Sample design, Data collection procedure and
methods of analyzing and reporting the findings.

Research Design

The research problem having been formulated in clear cut terms, the
researcher will be required to prepare a research design i.e., he will have
to state the conceptual structure with in which research would be
conducted. The preparation of such a design facilitates research to be as
efficient as possible yielding maximal information. But how all there can
be achieved depends mainly on the research purpose. Research purpose
may be grouped into four categories.

(1) Exploration
(2)Description
(3) Diagnoses and
(4) Experimentation.

Exploratory research studies are those whose main purpose is that of
formulating a problem for more precise investigation or of developing the
working hypotheses from on operational point of view.

Descriptive research studies are those studies which are concerned with
describing the characteristics of a particular individual, or of a group

Diagnostic research studies determine the frequency with which
something occurs.

Experimental research studies are those where the researcher tests the
hypothesis of casual relationship between the variables.



Research design of this particular research study of dematerialization of
shares is primarily based on descriptive and diagnostic research design.
As descriptive and diagnostic research design describes the
characteristics and determines the frequency with which something
occurs respectively, similarly this research determines the characteristics
of the individuals who deal in share and also determine the frequency of
dealing on the basis of their characteristics.

Sample Design

All the items under consideration in any field of inquiry constitute a
‘Universe’ or ‘Population’. A complete enumeration of all the items in
the population is known as a census inquiry. This type of inquiry
involves a great ideal of time, money and energy. Hence quite often a few
items so selected constitute what is technically called a sample.

The researcher must decide the way of selecting a sample or what is
popularly known as sample design. A sample design is a definite plan
determined before any data are actually collected for obtaining a sample
from a given population. Samples can be either probability or non-
probability samples. With probability samples each element has a known
probability of being included in the sample but non-probability samples
are those based on simples do not allow the researcher to determine this
probability.

Probability samples are those based on simple random sampling,
systematic sampling , etc where as non probability samples are those
based on convenient sampling, judgment sampling etc.



Data collection techniques

The required data is collected both from primary as well as
secondary sources.

Primary Sources: The primary data was collected through
structured unbiased questionnaire and personal interviews of
investors. For this purpose questionnaire included were both open
ended & close ended & mulple-choice questions.

Secondary Sources: Secondary data is the data, which is
collected and complied for different purposes, which are
used in research for this study. The secondary data includes
material collected from:-

Megazines & Bulletines- Brochure of unicon investment solutions.
Internet-
www.sebi.gov.in
www.nseindia.com
www.uniconindia.in

SIZE OF SAMPLE



The overall sample involved in the study consisted of 50 individuals.
Keeping in view the limited resources of time, a limited sample of
individuals. It was fixed before hand and every effort was made to cover
the given number of individuals with available time for the collection of
data for this project. The data was collected with the help of the
questionnaire herself by the researcher.

Method used for analysis of study

The methodology used for this purpose is Survey and Questionnaire
Method. It is a time consuming and expensive method and requires more
administrative planning and supervision. It is also subjective to
interviewer bias or distortion.

Analysis of Data

After the data have been collected, the researcher turns to the task of
analyzing them. The analysis of data requires a number of closely related
operations such as establishment of categories, the application of these
categories to raw data through coding, tabulation and then drawing
statistical inferences. The unwisely data should necessary be condensed
into a few manageable groups and tables for further analysis. Thus
researcher should classify the raw data into some purposeful and usable
categories. In the process of analysis, relationships or differences
supporting or conflicting with original or new hypotheses should be
subjected to tests of significance to determine with what validity data can
be said to indicate any conclusion



Interpretation

The interpretation is done on the basis of the analyzed data and also some
recommendations are given to fill the loopholes of the actual scenario.

DATA ANALYSIS AND
INTERPRETATION

Research is conducted for finding the solution of the problem. So to find
the solution of the problem data analysis and interpretation is must. There
are some questions related to this research to interpret the result.

The sample size in this study consisted of 50 individuals and data
analyzed from the response of these 50 individuals.

Limitations Of The Research Study

• Due to the lack of time, it was not possible for the researcher to
approach all the people.

• The respondents were asked to indicate their true responses to the
questions being asked, but rather than giving the response, they



might have been in a form of expert comments which might have
based the result of the study.

• The results of the study may not be universally applicable due to
regional constraints.

• Money was also considered as a major constraint during the
research work.

• Personal biasness may be included in the research work.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS



• As many of the people who dealt in share market are aware of
UNICON’S name but not of its services. So company should
advertise its services , so that people can be made aware of all the
services provided by the company.

• Most if the people are not finding any spare time to convert their
shares electronically. So company should approach to such people
at their doorstep to open their demat account.

• As far as people preference regarding opening of demat a/c is
concerned then they mainly prefer two factors i.e. service and trust.
So it becomes necessary for the company to take care of these two
factors.
