Establishment of NSE (National Stock Exchange)

Mr Mehta, nicknamed Big Bull, was a flamboyant stock broker of Mumbai who rose to instant fame in 1991 due to his aggressive strategies of stock market. Mehta was born on 29 July 1954,[5] at Paneli Moti, Rajkot district, in a Gujarati Jain family. His early childhood was spent in Kandivali, Mumbai, where his father was a small-time businessman. Later, the family moved to Raipur, Chhattisgarh, where Mehta studied in Kalibadi Higher Secondary School.

By profession Mehta was a Chartered accountant. Over a period of ten years, beginning 1980, he served in positions of increasing responsibility at a series of brokerage firms. By 1990, he had risen to a position of prominence in the Indian securities industry. He exploited every possible loophole in banking systems to make quick money illegally. Two such loopholes were Ready Forward (RF) and Bank Receipts (BR). He made sure he always had crores of rupees as liquid cash and aggressively invested them in stock market, creating an artificial boom and continued making more money. When the scam was exposed in a newspaper, the banks realized they were taken for a ride and started demanding the cash immediately. But there was no money. It was all a fraud. The stock market collapsed. Millions of innocent stock traders went bankrupt. Bank Chairmen started quitting their jobs taking responsibility.

Due to the crash of Bombay Stock Exchange by the above scam Finance Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh urged the need of other Stock Exchange in competition to BSE. He tapped the Industrial Development Bank (IDB) to take the lead of the project of creating competition for BSE. The domestic investors includes LIC, GIC, State Bank of India and IDFC Ltd, while the foreign investors include MS Strategic (Mauritius) Limited, Citigroup Strategic Holdings Mauritius Limited, Tiger Global Five Holdings and Norwest Venture Partners X FII-Mauritius. The exchange was incorporated in 1992 as a tax-paying company and was recognized as a stock exchange in 1993 under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, when Mr. P.V. Narasimha Rao was the Prime Minister of India and Dr. Manmohan Singh was the Finance Minister.

Conclusion Stock Markets are something which you cannot predict what is going to happen in the market tomorrow without proper analyzes of market. So, it is always preferable to go for some professional help if you wish to invest in the Indian stock market. Both BSE and NSE are working as a 2 major stock exchanges in India.

These companies represent all the major sectors of Indian economy.

BSE making it world's No. 1 exchange in terms of listed members. The companies listed on BSE Ltd command a total market capitalization of USD 1.32 Trillion as of January 2013. It is also one of the world’s leading exchanges (3rd largest in December 2012) for Index options trading.

BSE On-line Trading (BOLT) facilitates on-line screen based trading in securities. BOLT is currently operating in 25,000 Trader Workstations located across over 359 cities in India. It has a nation-wide reach with presence in more than 359 cities and towns of India, and has always been at par with international standards. The systems and processes are designed to safeguard market integrity and enhance transparency in operations. BOLT is the trading platform used by all the dealers / terminal operators to punch the buy/sell orders. The systems are linked by satellite / broadband communication links to the Computer in BSE. The orders are updated on this computer and broadcast to all the terminals instantly. The trades and orders information is updated continuously.

BSE is the first exchange in India and second in the world to obtain an ISO 9001:2000 certifications. It is also the first Exchange in the country and second in the world to receive Information Security Management System Standard BS 7799-2-2002 certification for its On-Line trading System (BOLT). It operates one of the most respected capital market educational institutes in the country (the BSE Institute Ltd.). BSE also provides depository services through its Central Depository Services Ltd. (CDSL) arm.

BSE has won several awards and recognitions that acknowledge the work done and progress made like The Golden Peacock Global CSR Award for its initiatives in Corporate Social Responsibility, NASSCOM - CNBC-TV18’s IT User Awards, 2010 in Financial Services category, Skoch Virtual Corporation 2010 Award in the BSE StAR MF category and Responsibility Award (CSR) by the World Council of Corporate Governance

The NSE has more than 1,635 stocks listed with it. It is fully automated electronic order processing exchange. Average daily trading volumes have jumped from Rs. 17 crore in 1994-95 when NSE started its Cash Market segment to Rs.11, 325 crore in 2008-09. Similarly, market capitalization of listed Indian firms went up from Rs.363, 350 crore at the end of March 1995 to Rs.2, 896,194 crore at end March 2009. NSE is the largest stock exchange of the country. It has a market share of nearly 70% in equity trading and 98% in futures and options trading in India. Globally, NSE ranks among the top three stock exchanges in terms of number of contracts traded in single stock futures, index futures and stock options. Another important innovation that has occurred on the NSE is that they were the first stock exchange in the world to use satellite communication for trading. This has not only greatly increased the speed of communication but it also ensures that everybody is playing on a level field since it takes the same length of time for communication from anywhere. This used to be a problem since there were huge differences in how long it took for communication to go through putting some traders at a serious disadvantage. Removing this was important for the development of the market.

NSE has played a catalytic role in reforming the Indian securities market in terms of microstructure, market practices and trading volumes. The market today uses state-of-art information technology to provide an efficient and transparent trading, clearing and settlement mechanism, and has witnessed several innovations in products & services viz. demutualisation of stock exchange governance, screen based trading, compression of settlement cycles, dematerialization and electronic transfer of securities, securities lending and borrowing, professionalization of trading members, fine-tuned risk management systems, emergence of clearing corporations to assume counterparty risks, market of debt and derivative instruments and intensive use of information technology.

ALUMINI CORNER Put the Glass down

Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students "How much do you think this glass weighs?" '50gms!'..... '100gms!' .....'125gms' ...the students answered. "I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the professor, "but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?" ‘Nothing’.....The students said. 'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked. 'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student "You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?" "Your arm could go numb; you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!” ..... Ventured another student & all the students laughed "Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" Asked the professor. 'No'.... Was the answer. "Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?" The students were puzzled. "What should I do now to come out of pain?" asked professor again. "Put the glass down!" said one of the students "Exactly!" said the professor. Life's problems are something like this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK. Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.

Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything

It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to 'PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day before you go to sleep... That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh &strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way! So, when you leave office /college today, Remember friend to 'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! '

“ The good life is one which is inspired by love and guided by knowledge”
