>DEMATERIALISATION & REMATERIALISATION

Dematerialisation is the process by which physical certificates of an investor are converted to an equivalent number of securities in electronic form and credited into investor’s account with his/her Depository Participant

How can one convert physical holding into electronic holding i.e. how can one dematerialise securities?
In order to dematerialise physical securities one has to fill in a DRF (Demat Request Form) which is available with the DP and submit the same along with physical certificates one wishes to dematerialise. Separate DRF has to be filled for each ISIN no.. The complete process of dematerialization is outlined below:

⇒ Bullet Surrender certificates for dematerialization to your depository participant.

⇒ Depository participant intimates Depository of the request through the system.

⇒ Depository participant submits the certificates to the registrar.

⇒ Registrar confirms the dematerialization request from depository.

⇒ After dematerializing certificates, Registrar updates accounts and informs depository of the completion of dematerializations.

⇒ Depository updates the accounts and informs the depository participant.

⇒ Depository participant updates the accounts and informs the investor.

What is the ISIN?
ISIN (International Securities Identification Number) is a unique identification number for a security.

Can odd lot shares be dematerialized?
Yes, odd lot share certificates can also be dematerialized.

Do materialized shares have distinctive numbers?
Dematerialized do not have any distinctive numbers. These shares are fungible, which means that all the holdings of a particular security will be identical and interchangeable.

Can Transfer Cum dematerialization be done simultaneously?
Yes. After the company/registrar has transferred the shares in ones name they will request one to let them know whether one wishes to receive them in electronic mode. In case one opts to receive in electronic mode one should inform the company / registrar through ones DP within 3o days of the date of option letter failing which company or registrar can dispatch the certificates and the securities shall be credited to ones account. This facility is offered only for those scripts for which the issuer company has agreed to provide this facility.

Can ones electronic holdings be converted back into physical certificates?
Yes. The process is called Rematerialisation. If one wishes to get back your securities in the physical form one has to fill in the RRF form (Remat Request Form) and one request your DP for rematerialisation of the balances in your securities account.

>STOCK EXCHANGES

Stock exchange is an association, organization or body of individuals, whether incorporated or not, established for the purpose of assisting and controlling the business of buying, selling and dealing in securities.

Without an efficient stock exchange, the saving of the community, which are essential for economic progress would not be able for the business community. It provides for a mechanism in buying and selling the securities. It assists in reasonably correct evaluation of securities in terms of the real worth. In evaluating the prices on the exchange, the operators take into account all the relevant factors, present and prospective, concerning the particular enterprise and industry. It is because of this the price of one company's share is different than the other company's share price. This price difference can be attributed to the difference between the profitability and the future prospects of the two companies.

Stock exchanges constitute a market for trading in the listed securities and they also facilitate listing of new securities for trading. They also provide a reasonable degree of safety and fair dealing to the investors.

The stock markets are affected by practically anything, especially in India. Mr. Armstrong an authority of market says, "The wind that play upon stock exchanges are as varying and inconsistent as those that blow upon the ocean are. They are frequently just as disturbing". Basically two sets of factors affect the stock exchanges, one is known as fundamental factor and other is technical factor. The fundamental factor are related to the industry and are economic and financial in nature. The technical factor are related to techniques of stock evaluation methods.

The governing body of a recognised stock exchange has wide powers and is the decision making body of the exchange. It has the power, subject to government approval, to make, amend and suspend the operation of the rules, bylaws and regulations of the exchanges. It also has complete jurisdiction over all members and in practice, its power of management and control is almost absolute. The governing body has the power has the power to admit and expel members, to warn, censure, fine and suspend members,

>PRIMARY MARKET

The primary market is a place for the fresh issue of securities. Corporates, banks, FIIs and government can issue new securities and raise fund for investment purpose. This is typically done through a syndicate of securities dealers. The process of selling new issues to investors is called underwriting. In the case of a new stock issue, this sale is an initial public offering (IPO). Dealers earn a commission that is built into the price of the security offering, though it can be found in the prospectus.

Features of primary markets are:

* This is the market for new long term capital. The primary market is the market where the securities are sold for the first time. Therefore it is also called the new issue market (NIM).


* In a primary issue, the securities are issued by the company directly to investors.


* The company receives the money and issues new security certificates to the investors.


* Primary issues are used by companies for the purpose of setting up new business or for expanding or modernizing the existing business.


* The primary market performs the crucial function of facilitating capital formation in the economy.


* The new issue market does not include certain other sources of new long term external finance, such as loans from financial institutions. Borrowers in the new issue market may be raising capital for converting private capital into public capital; this is known as "going public."


* The financial assests sold can only be redeemed by the original holder.


Methods of issuing securities in the primary market are:
  • Initial public offering;
  • Rights issue (for existing companies);
  • Preferential issue.

>SECONDARY MARKET

The transactions involving the securities issued in the primary market take place in the secondary market. Thus secondary market deals in securities previously issued in the primary market and thereby provide liquidity to the investors. Investors can either buy securities previously issued or sell securities held by them in the secondary market on a continuous basis. Due to this, the volumes of transactions taking place in the secondary market are far greater than those taking place in the primary market. Except for the capital market, the other markets present in the financial system either do not have a secondary market or either or their operations in the same are negligible. The secondary market transactions of the capital markets at the stock exchanges. All securities that are issued in primary market will have to be listed on the stock exchanges to enable trading activity.

The secondary market helps in undertaking ‘Maturity Intermediation’, by bringing together savers and users with conflicting maturity targets. The secondary market, also known as the aftermarket, is the financial market where previously issued securities and financial instruments such as stock, bonds, options, and futures are bought and sold
