    RELIANCE DMAT ACCOUNT

    DEMAT ACCOUNT:

    Demat refers to a dematerialised account.

    In India, a D-Mat account, the abbreviation fordematerialized account, is a type ofbanking account which dematerializes paper-based physical stockshares. The dematerialized

    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 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 posses a Permanent Account Number(PAN), and the

    deadline for submission of PAN details to the depository lapsed on January 2007.

    Though the company is under obligation to offer the securities in both physical and demat mode,

    you have the choice to receive the securities in either mode.

  • 8/2/2019 Comparative Analysis of D-mat Account Reliance Money

    49/96

    If you wish to have securities in demat mode, you need to indicate the name of the depository and also

    of the depository participant with whom you have depository account in your application.

    It is, however desirable that you hold securities in demat form as physical securities carry the risk of

    being fake, forged or stolen.

    Just as you have to open an account with a bank if you want to save your money, make cheque

    payments etc, Nowadays, you need to open a demat account if you want to buy or sell stocks.

    So it is just like a bank account where actual money is replaced by shares. You have to approach the

    DPs (remember, they are like bank branches), to open your demat account. Let's say your portfolio of

    shares looks like this: 150 of Infosys, 50 of Wipro, 200 of HLL and 100 of ACC. All these will show in your

    demat account. So you don't have to possess any physical certificates showing that you own these

    shares. They are all held electronically in your account. As you buy and sell the shares, they are

    adjusted in your account. Just like a bank passbook or statement, the DP will provide you with

    periodic statements of holdings and transactions.

    Equity is Stock or any other security representing an ownership interest.

    Equity is a term whose meaning depends very much on the context. In general, you can think of

    equity as ownership in any asset after all debts associated with that asset are paid off. An Investor

    can invest his money in Equity in two ways i.e. Online or Offline and for both, he needs a D-Mat

    A/C.

    Nowadays, practically all trades have to be settled in dematerialised form. Although the market

    regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has allowed trades of upto 500

    shares to be settled in physical form, nobody wants physical shares any more.

    So a demat account is a must for trading and investing.Most banks are also DP participants, as are

    many brokers. You can choose your very own DP. To get a list, visit theNSDLand CDSL websites

    and see who the registered DPs are.A broker is separate from a DP. A broker is a member of the

    stock exchange, who buys and sells shares on his behalf and on behalf of his clients.

    1. Fill demat request form (DRF) (obtained from DP with whom your depository account is

    opened).

    2. Deface the share certificate(s) you want to dematerialise by writing across Surrendered for

    dematerialization.

    3. Submit the DRF & share certificate(s) to DP. DP would forward them to the issuer / their R&T

    Agent.

    4. After dematerialization, your depository account with your DP would be credited with the

    dematerialized securities.

    Benefits of opening a demat account:

    Demat account has become a necessity for all categories of investors for the following reasons/

    benefits:

    SEBI has made it compulsory for trades in almost all scrips to be settled in demat mode.

    Although, trades upto 500 shares can be settled in physical form, physical settlement is

    virtually not taking place for the apprehension of bad delivery on account of mismatch of

    signatures, forgery of signatures, fake certificates, etc.

    It is a safe and convenient way to hold securities compared to holding securities in physical

    form..

    No stamp duty is levied on transfer of securities held in demat form.

    Instantaneous transfer of securities enhances liquidity.

    It eliminates delays, thefts, interceptions and subsequent misuse of certificates.

    Change of name, address, registration of power of attorney, deletion of deceased's name,

    etc. - can be effected across companies by one single instruction to the DP.

    Each share is a market lot for the purpose of transactions - so no odd lot problem.

    Any number of securities can be transferred/delivered with one delivery order.

    Therefore, paperwork and signing of multiple transfer forms is done away with. It facilitates taking

    advances against securities on low margin/low interest.

    Reliance Money, the financial services and distribution arm of Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani

    Group, has announced free trading accounts for a year, for customers opening

    Demat accounts with the company.

    This initiative would increase the penetration of demat accounts in the country, which has remained

    stagnant at around 6 million for the last few years.

    Reliance Money offers a flat fee structure to its customers for trading in stocks, commodities on its

    trading platform, a deviation from the industry practice of charging percentage brokerage per

    transaction.

    "We feel that a sizeable portion of Indian investors are not participating in the market for various

    reasons - accessibility of service from a reputed brand and price entry barrier. We have addressed

    both these concerns with this first-of-its-kind limited period offer," said Director and CEO,

    Reliance Money, Sudip Bandyopadhyay.

    Under this scheme, Reliance Money would be waiving off Rs 500, charged for trading upto Rs 5

    lakh, for the first year, in case the customers open an account with Reliance Money during the next

    few weeks. Customers wanting to trade beyond Rs 5 lakh would have to pay Rs 500 for trading

    upto Rs 1 crore (for 2 months) or Rs 2,500 lakh for Rs 6 crore (for one year). The company would

    be focusing on semi-urban and rural areas with this initiative.

    "We expect to add over 2 lakh demat accounts with this offer with our entire effort focused to get

    the not-so-savvy semi-urban and rural investors to participate in the stock market, in addition to thesavvy investors who are already trading on one or other platform," said Bandyopadhyay.

    Reliance Money has also announced its tie-up with Corporation Bank, a leading PSU bank in the

    country for providing broking services to the customers of Corporation Bank.

    51

  • 8/2/2019 Comparative Analysis of D-mat Account Reliance Money

    52/96

    Under the agreement, the Depository System of Corporation Bank would be linked with the

    Reliance Money trading platform and customers having DP accounts with Corporation Bank would

    also be able to trade through the Reliance Money platform. With this tie-up, 9.5 million

    Corporation Bank account holders are set to gain with their broking needs.

    There are many broking houses doing business in India and they charge a brokerage on every

    transaction made online or offline. (Buying and Selling are treated as separate transaction).

    Reliance Moneys advantage over others is that its charging the lowest brokerage in the market

    which is just 1 paisa on every executive trade irrespective of the volume traded. Reliance Money,

    the brokerage and distribution arm of Reliance ADA Group, aims to tap investors in the smaller

    towns and cities through a flat fee structure.

    The current leaders in the retail broking segment like ICICI Direct, India Infoline and Indiabulls

    offer a pay per use model where the customer pays a percentage of the amount transacted by him.

    Reliance Moneys brokerage rates are quite competitive.

    The new wonder is Reliance Money's pre-paid card for stock market brokerage. Reliance Money,

    the financial services division of Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group-promoted Reliance Capital, is

    bringing to the market pre-paid cards in denominations of Rs 500, Rs 1,350 and Rs 2,500 with

    validity period of two months, six months and twelve months respectively.

    These cards would offer brokerage at one-third of the rate being charged by institutional and

    individual brokerage houses. Sample this. For a pre-paid card worth Rs 500, an investor can trade

    upto Rs 90 lakh in futures and option segment or can undertake intra-day trade of similar amount.

    Besides, an investor can undertake a delivery-based activity of Rs 10 lakh.

    The Rs 1350 worth pre-paid card, total trading limit would reach Rs 3 crore, of which Rs 2.70 crore

    is for the F&O segment and balance Rs 30 lakh for delivery-based activities.

    For Rs 2500 pre-paid card, total trading limit is fixed at Rs 16 crore, that include F&O limit of Rs

  • 8/2/2019 Comparative Analysis of D-mat Account Reliance Money

    53/96

    15.40 crore and balance Rs 60 lakh for delivery-based broking.

    Converted to percentage terms - Reliance Money offers most competitive

    brokerage rates - 0.05% for delivery trades and 0.005% for non-delivery trades (fixed fee of Rs.

    500/- for delivery trades upto Rs. 10 lacs and/or non-delivery trades upto Rs. 1 crore). Industry

    rates vary between 0.4% to 0.85% for delivery trades and between 0.05% and 0.10% for non

    delivery trades.

    Reliance Money consumers can trade in equities, commodities and offshore

    Investments , IPOs, Mutual Funds, Insurance, Money transfer and Money Changing - all through

    single window, both off-line and online.

    Reliance Money has already tied-up with CMC Capital Plc UK to offer offshore Investment

    products to Indian consumers as per guidelines. In other it can be defined as:

    Trading

    In the developing country like India, every individual wants to invest his money in a hassle freeway & in those Financial Instruments that may give maximum returns. People are now a days busy

    with their own works and thus prefer e-trading rather than going to the brokers and waiting for

    getting the delivery of shares in their Trading Account.

    Share market is the market for securities where organized issuance and trading of

  • 8/2/2019 Comparative Analysis of D-mat Account Reliance Money

    59/96

    shares takes place. Shares are certificates which represent ownership rights of theAs a basic result

    of all this, traditional investing has experienced a revolution due to the rise of the e-brokerage

    industry, which enables investors to use the internet to conduct secure trading. Two factors are

    contributing to the enormous growth of online investing. First, the Internet gives ready access to

    raw data. Second, investment houses can offer transactions at lower prices than traditional methods

    by eliminating the need for brokers or financial advisers.

    But for discussing all this, the first and foremost thing that must be known is t holder in a company.

    It plays an important role in channelizing capital from the investors to the business houses which

    consequently leads to the availability of funds for business expansion.

    Shares in the Share Market are either traded through:-

    a) Stock Exchange: These are organized market places where stocks, bonds are other

    equivalents are traded between the buyers and sellers where exchange acts as counter-party

    to both the participants in case of any default.

    b) Over-the -Counter (OTC): These are not centralized exchanges and the trade takes place

    through a network of dealers.

    Trading is a basic economic concept that involves multiple parties participating in the voluntary

    negotiation and then the exchange of ones goods and services for desired goods and services that

    someone else possesses.

    The advent of money as a medium of exchange has allowed trade to be conducted in a manner that

    is much simpler and effective compared to earlier forms of trade, such as bartering.

    In financial markets, trading also can mean performing a transaction that involves the selling and

    purchasing of a security.

    There are mainly two types of trading :-

    1. Intra day trading: In this type of trading an investor buy and sell stocks during the same day.

    Intra day Traders are of two types :-

    i.Scalp Traders: Investors who perform many trades per day for scalping out small profits

    59

  • 8/2/2019 Comparative Analysis of D-mat Account Reliance Money

    60/96

    out of the bid-ask spread, from each trade are known as scalp traders.

    ii.Momentum Traders: Investors who pounce on those stocks which move significantly in

    one direction and book desired profit are called momentum traders. They do this within a

    day.

    2. Delivery trading: In this type of trading an investor buys the share for holding purposes.

    Delivery Traders are :-

    Research Design

    Research designs are concerned with turning the research question into a testing project. The best

    design depends on your research questions. Every design has its positive and negative sides. The

    research design has been considered as a "blueprint" for research, dealing with at least four

    problems: what questions to study, what data are relevant, what data to collect, and how to analyze

    the results.

    Types of research Design

    There are basically 3 types of research designs which are as follows:

    1. Descriptive Research

    2. Explanatory Research

    3. Experimental research

    *In my project I used the first Descriptive research design to carry on my research.

    Sampling

    For marketing research, it is must to have a good and most effective sampling plan. It is very

    important through which researcher could get a relevant result near to the reality. In the sampling

    plan researchers have to cover the whole area which is given by the Reliance money ghaziabad

    The sample is selected by applying some technique. The sample should ad equality represent the

    universe or population. The selection of sample is called sample technique. The survey is so

    conducted is called sample survey. Selection of units (i.e. people, organization etc.) from a given

    target population is called as sampling. Sampling and its study simply help the researcher to

    generalize the results of consumer researcher done on a specific sample, to the whole population

    from which it is selected. In other words, a sample is a small and finite part of a statistical

    population, the properties of which are analyzed studied to understand the whole population. When

    applied to people, sampling can be defined as a set of respondents taken from large population for

    the purpose of a survey. A population is a group of individuals, persons, objects or items, from

    which are taken from the measurement for example a population of president or professors, books

    or students.

    Sampling enables the researcher to answer the two important questions:-

    1. What they want to generalize to?

  • 8/2/2019 Comparative Analysis of D-mat Account Reliance Money

    65/96

    2. Whom they should consider as population for conducting survey?

    When we sample, the units that we sample that are usually people suppliers with one or more

    responses. In this sense a specific measurement value that a sampling unit supplies. When we

    analyze the responses for the entire sample that we use statistics, there is a wide variety of

    statistical tools and techniques that can be used like mean, median and mode etc.

    METHODS OF SAMPLING

    65

  • 8/2/2019 Comparative Analysis of D-mat Account Reliance Money

    66/96

    From the above stated methods, I usedRANDOM SAMPLING METHODS

    MARKET SURVEY

    Survey is the part of the researchers survey, also the primary technique of the data collection.

    Survey is classified into different types. The important classification of the survey as follows:-

    The general survey design.

    The data collection method.

    The technology for data acquisition.

    Perhaps the most important division, however, is that between longitudinal survey and cross-

    sectional survey. In longitudinal surveys, data are collected more than ones from the same

    sampling units, at more or less regular intervals, whereas in cross-sectional surveys, data are

    collected only once. In longitudinal surveys data may be collected the same way each time, or

    the data collection method may vary. A panel survey is a special type of longitudinal survey.

    Statistical Finlands best known personal panel survey is the labor force survey. While the best-

    known business panel survey is the Consumer Price Index Survey. It is important to make a

    distinction between the mode of administration of data collections and the technology applied

    in data acquisition. In the administration modes one distinguishes whether interviewers are used

    (interviewer administration) or whether respondents are to answer by themselves (self-

    administration).

  • 8/2/2019 Comparative Analysis of D-mat Account Reliance Money

    67/96

    In the interviewer-administration mode interviewers readout the questions and mark down

    the responses interviews may be conducted either by telephone or face to face. Researchers

    survey conducted through face to face interaction with the shopkeeper and with the distributors.

    CLASSIFICATION OF SURVEY METHODS

    67

  • 8/2/2019 Comparative Analysis of D-mat Account Reliance Money

    68/96

    DATA COLLECTION

    It is a list of questions properly selected and arranged pertaining to the investigation. Thus the

    researcher prepares a questionnaire having the question regarding the project and could get a good

    response from the respondents with adequate care. Questionnaire saves the time both researcher

    and peoples who questions being asked because it is a list of questions for gathering important

    information. Questionnaire is very simple to gathering the information regarding through same

    people. (In the case of this survey, the same questions asked for different investors by the

    researcher) hence this questionnaire saved the time of both the investors and the researcher.

    . TECHNIQUES OF DATA COLLECTION:

    There are two techniques of collection of Data :-

    : - Primary Data Collection :

    In Primary Data collection technique data is collected by doing surveys , researches

    and various other means of research.

    The data for the study is collected from primary sources. Researcher had collected information

    strategies from investors opinion and prepares a semi structured questionnaire with adequate care

    and precautions.

    : - Secondary Data Collection :

    Secondary data is data which is collected not by conducting any research rather it is

    collected from already published informations.

    Like from Magazines, Newspapers.

    every Firm. In fact, the big plan is to grow the share market five times that of BSE volumes in the

    next few years, a top official of Reliance Money said Huge investments taking place:

    SWOT ANALYSIS OF RELIANCE MONEY

    Based on the above SWOT analysis and study of the available data I have come to the following

    conclusions:

    1. All though relatively new entrants in the market, Reliance is slowly but surely gaining a strong

    hold because it is finally able to grasp the investment climate in Delhi.

    Secondly the branch managers at all the branches are very knowledgeable with a lot of experience

    in the financial markets so under their leadership can definitely expand its base.

    2. The entire workforce consists of mostly youngsters, which means they can be encouraged and

    motivated to do good work because they have a long way to go and most of them are eager to

    climb the ladder.

    3. Right now Reliance is at its nascent stage and will surely grab the major market under its belt

    very soon like in other fields.

    4. In the past few years there has been a tremendous inflow of funds in the Indian market which

    has lead to the sky rocketing SENSEX. In fact there has been a tremendous response from the

    investors not only in shares but mutual funds as well. The Rs 5700Cr infused in the market

    through the Reliance Equity mutual Funds is an example of the growing trust of investors who

    earlier shied from such investments due to stock market fiascos like the Harshad Mehta scam or

    the US64 disaster in which investors lost huge amounts of money as well as their trust in financial

    instruments.

    The Stock Market has been very buoyant until now especially in the past 3 years.

    This particular trend is very favorable because a soaring SENSEX means higher returns, which

    encourages the investors to invest their money in the market. Although in the past 3 months the

    market has shown very unpredictable trend and has already lost over1000 points. So in order to

    make the best the only thing required is to recruit more field staff who should be trained in a proper

    way to get better results.

    Thus, for this, their officials are focusing on

    Whenever its a question of Your Money The Answer is Reliance Money

    Based on the findings of our project we would like to suggest the following:-

    After sales services and follow up calls are important for getting new references so trained

    Tele callers should be appointed for this purpose whose sole work should be to make

    feedback calls.

    Reliance is having too many financial products right from Demat account to General

    Insurance and not all the salespeople are affluent in each and every product so the work

    force should be segregated each group dealing in a specific product and the sales target

    should be given likewise.

    While interacting with the investors I found that most of the customers are unaware about

    the Mutual fund. Some of the people look upon mutual funds and equity trading as

    gambling. Thus a mutual fund awareness program can help to increase the penetration of

    mutual funds in the market

    Reliance should declare in black ink that they will charge just 1 paisa per transaction.

    People tend to think that there must be some hidden charges.

    Reliance should provide periodic training for updating the product knowledge of various

    financial advisors.

    Company should provide regular rewards and recognition to employees and the field

    persons to boost there motivation.

    Freedom is something Spiritual, whosoever has once had it, can never loose it. We feel we are

    lucky enough to do our summer internship in a company like, Reliance Money. In this Present

    Scenario, nothing is perfect, everything has some pros and cons. So the pros and cons of Reliance

    91

  • 8/2/2019 Comparative Analysis of D-mat Account Reliance Money

    92/96

    Money that we want to highlight are as follows:

    1. Reliance Money has a Flat Fee Structure that binds the customer to a minimum investment

    requirement whereas with the Pay-per-Use Model, Customer is free to invest his money

    on his own consent.

    2. Reliance Money has a trading coupon for Rs. (up to) 5,00,000 and then the next coupon isfor Rs. (up to) 1,00,00,000. This is sometimes not suitable for middle Investors.

    3. Reliance Money does not provide Credit Cards to the fresher i.e. for owning the Credit

    Cards offered by Reliance Money, a person must have Credit card of any other company.

    4. Although the services provided by Reliance Money are Customer satisfactory, yet they are

    not able to generate loyalty in their customers. This is because of lack of Follow ups

    made by the employees. Thus they are required to pay more attention towards the After

    Sale Services, given to customers.

    5. More Branches are required to cover up the entire Target Market and the wide Customer

    Base.
