EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 1990s, the balance of payments position facing the country had become
critical and foreign exchange reserves had depleted to dangerously low
levels i.e. $585 million, which was sufficient for financing just one week of
India's exports.
Since the initiation of reforms in the early 1990s, the Indian economy has
achieved high growth in an environment of macroeconomic and financial
stability.
The period has been marked by broad based economic reform that has
touched every segment of the economy. These reforms were designed
essentially to promote greater efficiency in the economy through promotion
of greater competition.
The story of Indian reforms is by now well-documented, nevertheless, what
is less appreciated is that India achieved this acceleration in growth while
maintaining price and financial stability.
As a result of the growing openness, India was not insulated from exogenous
shocks since the second half of the 1990s. These shocks, global as well as
domestic, included a series of financial crises in Asia, Brazil and Russia,
9/11 terrorist attacks in the US, border tensions, sanctions imposed in the
aftermath of nuclear tests, political uncertainties, changes in the
Government, and the current oil shock. Nonetheless, stability could be
maintained in financial markets.

Indeed, inflation has been contained since the mid-1990s to an average of
around five per cent, distinctly lower than that of around eight per cent per
annum over the previous four decades. Simultaneously, the health of the
financial sector has recorded very significant improvement.
India's path of reforms has been different from most other emerging market
economies: it has been a measured, gradual, cautious, and steady process,
devoid of many flourishes that could be observed in other countries.
Reforms in these sectors have been well-sequenced, taking into account the
state of the markets in the various segments.
The main objective of the financial sector reforms in India initiated in the
early 1990s was to create an efficient, competitive and stable financial sector
that could then contribute in greater measure to stimulate growth.
For efficient price discovery of interest rates and exchange rates in the
overall functioning of financial markets, the corresponding development of
the money market, Government securities market and the foreign exchange
market became necessary. Reforms in the various segments, therefore, had
to be coordinated. In this process, growing integration of the Indian
economy with the rest of the world also had to be recognized and provided
for.
Till the early 1990s the Indian financial system was characterized by
extensive regulations such as administered interest rates, directed credit
programmes, weak banking structure, lack of proper accounting and risk

management systems and lack of transparency in operations of major
financial market participants. Such a system hindered efficient allocation of
resources.
Financial sector reforms initiated in the early 1990s have attempted to
overcome these weaknesses in order to enhance efficiency of resource
allocation in the economy.
Simultaneously, the Reserve Bank took a keen interest in the development of
financial markets, especially the money, government securities and forex
markets in view of their critical role in the transmission mechanism of
monetary policy. As for other central banks, the money market is the focal
point for intervention by the Reserve Bank to equilibrate short-term liquidity
flows on account of its linkages with the foreign exchange market.
Similarly, the Government securities market is important for the entire debt
market as it serves as a benchmark for pricing other debt market instruments,
thereby aiding the monetary transmission process across the yield curve.
The Reserve Bank had, in fact, been making efforts since 1986 to develop
institutions and infrastructure for these markets to facilitate price discovery.
These efforts by the Reserve Bank to develop efficient, stable and healthy
financial markets accelerated after 1991. There has been close co-ordination
between the Central Government and the Reserve Bank, as also between
different regulators, which helped in orderly and smooth development of the
financial markets in India.

INTRODUCTION
The financial system or the financial sector of any country consists of:-(a)specialized & non specialized financial institution(b)organized &unorganized financial markets and(c)Financial instruments & services which facilitate transfer of funds.
Procedure & practices adopted in the markets, and financial inter
relationships are also the parts of the system. These parts are not always
mutually exclusive. For example, the financial institution operate in financial
market and are, therefore a part of such market. The word system in the term
financial system implies a set of complex and closely connected or inters
mixed institution, agents practices, markets, transactions, claims, &
liabilities in the economy. The financial system is concerned about money,
credit, & finance the terms intimately related yet some what different from

4. Financial system influence both quality and the pace ofeconomic development.
ROLE OF FINANCIAL SYSTEM:
The role of the financial system is to promote savings & investments in
the economy. It has a vital role to play in the productive process and in
the mobilization of savings and their distribution among the various
productive activities. Savings are the excess of current expenditure over
income. The domestic savings has been categorized into three sectors,
household, government & private sectors.
The savings from household sector dominates the domestic savings
component. The savings will be in the form of currency, bank deposits,
non bank deposits, life insurance funds, provident funds, pension funds,
shares, debentures, bonds, units & trade debts. All of these currency &
deposits are voluntary transactions & precautionary measures. The
savings in the household sector are mobilized directly in the form of
units, premium, provident fund, and pension fund. These are the

contractual forms of savings. Financial actively deals with the
production, distribution & consumption of goods and services. The
financial system will provide inputs to productive activity. Financial
sector provides inputs in the form of cash credit & assets in financial for
production activities.
The function of a financial system is to establish a bridge between the
savers and investors. It helps in mobilization of savings to materialize
investment ideas into realities. It helps to increase the output towards
the existing production frontier. The growth of the banking habit helps
to activate saving and undertake fresh saving. The financial system
encourages investment activity by reducing the cost of finance risk. It
helps to make investment decisions regarding projects by sponsoring,
encouraging, export project appraisal, feasibility studies, monitoring &
execution of the projects.

BACK DROP OF INDIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM
At the time of independence, India had a reasonably diversified financial
system in terms of intermediaries but a somewhat narrow focus on terms of
intermediation, i.e., a lack of a long term capital market and the relative
neglect of agriculture in particular and rural areas in general.
As India embarked on a process of industrialization and growth, RBI set up
Development Financial Institutions (DFIs) and State Finance Corporations
(SFCs) as providers of long term capital. Agricultures need for credit was
met by cooperative banks. UTI was set up to canalize resources from retail
investors to the capital market.
In essence, the understanding that requirement of financial needs for
accelerated growth and development was best met by specialized financial
intermediaries who performed specialized functions influenced financial
market architecture.

To ensure that these specializations were adhered to, financial intermediaries
developed and promoted by the Reserve Bank of India had significant
restrictions on both the asset and liabilities side of their balance sheets.
In the 1950s and 1960s, despite an expansion of the commercial banking
system in terms of both reach and mobilization of resources, agriculture still
remained under funded and rural areas under banked. Whereas industrys
share in credit disbursed almost doubled between 1951 and 1968, from 34 to
67.5%, agriculture got barely 2% of available. Credit to exports and small
scale industries were relatively neglected as well.
In view of the above, it was decided to nationalize the banking sector so that
credit allocation could take place in accordance in plan priorities.
Nationalization took place in two phases, with a first round in 1969 followed
by another in 1980.
By the mid-seventies it was felt that commercialized banks did not have
sufficient expertise in rural banking and hence in 1975 Regional Rural
Banks (RRBs) were set up to help bring rural India into the ambit of the
financial network. This effort was capped in 1980 with the formation of
National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), which
was to function as an apex bank for all cooperative banks in the country,
helping control and guide their activities. NABARD was also given the
remit of regulating rural credit cooperatives.

Following with the logic of specialization, the 1980s saw other DFIs with
specific remits being set up e.g. The EXIM Bank for export financing, the
Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) for small scale
industries and the National Housing Bank (NHB) for housing finance.
Long term finance for the private sector came from DFIs and institutional
investors or through the capital market. However both price and quantity of
capital issues was regulated by the Controller of Capital Issues.
At least one indicator of the fact that the strategy paid off in deepening
financial intermediation is the near doubling of the M3/GDP (see Error!
Reference source not found.Error! Reference source not found.For more
details on various types of money supplies) ratio from 24.1% in 1970/71 to
48.5 in 1990/91. Over the same period, bank credit to the commercial sector
as a proportion of GDP more than doubled from 14.3 to 30.2%. However
net bank credit to government (including lending by the Reserve Bank)
doubled as well, from 12 to 24.6%.
Therefore the deepening of financial intermediation had occurred with an
increase in the draft by both the commercial sector and the government on
financial resources mobilized.
At the end of the 1980s then the Indian financial system was characterized
by segmented financial markets with significant restrictions on both the asset
and liability side of the balance sheet of financial intermediaries as well as
the price at which financial products could be offered.

In the Indian context segmentation meant that competition was muted. In a
scenario where price was determined from outside the system and targets
were set in terms of quantities, there was no pressure for non-price
competition as well. As a result the financial system had relatively high
transaction costs and political economy factors meant that asset quality was
not a prime concern. Therefore even though the Indian financial system at
the end of 1980s had achieved substantial expansion in terms of access, this
had come at the cost of asset quality. In addition, was the fact that the draft
of the government on resources of the financial system had increased
significantly. This in itself need necessarily was not a problem but over this
period, i.e., the 1980s, the composition of government expenditure was
changing as well, with shift towards current rather than capital expenditure.
In addition, in the absence of a reasonably liquid market for government
securities, an increase in net bank lending to the government meant that the
asset side of banks balance sheets tended to become increasingly illiquid.
The impetus for change came from one expected and one unexpected quarter
- first, the importance of prudential capital adequacy ratios was underlined
by the announcement of BaselI norms (see Error! Reference source not
found.Error! Reference source not found.) That banks were expected to
adhere to; second the macroeconomic crisis of 1990-91.
The reform process that followed accelerated the process of liberalizationThe reform process that followed accelerated the process of liberalization
already begun in the 1980s and began a series of measured and deliberate
steps to integrate India into the global economy, including the global
financial network.

Briefly however, given the problems facing the financial system and keeping
in mind the institutional changes necessary to help India financially integrate
into the global economy, financial reform focused on the following:
improving the asset quality on bank balance sheets in particular and
operational efficiency in general; increasing competition by removing
regulatory barriers to entry; increasing product competition by removing
restrictions on asset and liability sides of financial intermediaries; allowing
financial intermediaries freedom to set their prices; putting in place a market
for government securities; and improving the functioning of the call money
market.
The government security market was particularly important not only because
it was decided the RBI would no longer monetize the fiscal deficit, which
would now be financed by directly borrowing from the market, but also
monetary policy would be conducted through open market operations and a
large liquid bond market would help the RBI sterilise, if necessary, foreign
exchange movements.

INDIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM FROM 1950 TO 1980
Indian Financial System During this period evolved in response to the
objective of planned economic development. With the adoption of mixed
economy as a pattern of industrial development, a complimentary role was
conceived for public and private sector. There was a need to align financial
system with government economic policies. At that time there was
government control over distribution of credit and finance. The main
elements of financial organization in planned economic development are as
follows:-
1. Public ownership of financial institutions
The nationalization of RBI was in 1948, SBI was set up in 1956, LIC came
in to existence in 1956 by merging 245 life insurance companies in 1969,
14major private banks were brought under the direct control of Government
of India. In 1972, GIC was set up and in 1980; six more commercial banks
were brought under public ownership. Some institutions were also set up
during this period like development banks, term lending institutions, UTI
was set up in public sector in 1964, provident fund, pension fund was set up.
In this way public sector occupied commanding position in Indian Financial
System.
2. Fortification Of Institutional structure
Financial institutions should stimulate / encourage capital formation in the
economy. The important feature of well developed financial system is
strengthening of institutional structures. Development banks was set up with
8/7/2019 Final Indian Finanacialsystem
16/110
Indian Financial System
16 Thakur College Of Science & Commerce
this objective like industrial finance corporation of India (IFCI) was set up in
1948, state financial corporation (SFCs) were set up in 1951, Industrial
credit and Investment corporation of India Ltd (ICICI)was set up in 1955. It
was pioneer in many respects like underwriting of issue of capital,
channelisation of foreign currency loans from World Bank to private
industry. In 1964, Industrial Development of India (IDBI).
3. Protection of Investors
Lot many acts were passed during this period for protection of investors in
financial markets. The various acts Companies Act, 1956 ; Capital Issues
Control Act, 1947 ; Securities Contract Regulation Act, 1956 ; Monopolies
and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1970 ; Foreign Exchange Regulation
Act, 1973 ; Securities & Exchange Board of India, 1988.
4. Participation in Corporate Management
As participation were made by large companies and financial instruments it
leads to accumulation of voting power in hands of institutional investors in
several big companies financial instruments particularly LIC and UTI were
able to put considerable pressure on management by virtual of their voting
power. The Indian Financial System between 1951 and mid80s was broad
based number of institutions came up. The system was characterized by
diversifying organizations which used to perform number of functions. The
Financial structure with considerable strength and capability of supplying
industrial capital to various enterprises was gradually built up the whole
financial system came under the ownership and control of public authorities
in this manner public sector occupy a commanding position in the industrial
8/7/2019 Final Indian Finanacialsystem

enterprises. Such control was viewed as integral part of the strategy of
planned economy development.
INDIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM POST 1990S
The organizations of Indian Financial system witnessed transformation after
launching of new economic policy 1991. The development process shifted
from controlled economy to free market for these changes were made in the
economic policy. The role of government in business was reduced the
measure trust of the government should be on development of infrastructure,
public welfare and equity. The capital market an important role in allocation
of resources. The major development during this phase are:-
1. Privatisation of Financial Institutions
At this time many institutions were converted in to public company and
number of private players were allowed to enter in to various sectors:
a) Industrial Finance Corporation on India (IFCI): The pioneerdevelopment finance institution was converted in to a public
company.
b)Industrial Development Bank of India & Industrial FinanceCorporation of India (IDBI & IFCI): IDBI & IFCI ltd offers their
equity capital to private investors.
c) Private Mutual Funds have been set up under the guidelinesprescribed by SEBI.
8/7/2019 Final Indian Finanacialsystem

18 Thakur College Of Science & Commerce
d) Number of private banks and foreign banks came up under the RBIguidelines. Private institution companies emerged and work under the
guidelines of IRDA, 1999.
e) In this manner government monopoly over financial institutions hasbeen dismantled in phased manner. IT was done by converting public
financial institutions in joint stock companies and permitting to sell
equity capital to the government.
2. Reorganization of Institutional Structure
The importance of development financial institutions decline with shift to
capital market for raising finance commercial banks were give more funds to
investment in capital market for this. SLR and CRR were produced; SLR
earlier @ 38.5% was reduced to 25% and CRR which used to be 25% is at
present 5%. Permission was also given to banks to directly undertake
leasing, hire-purchase and factoring business. There was trust on
development of primary market, secondary market and money market.
3. Investors Protection
SEBI is given power to regulate financial markets and the various
intermediaries in the financial markets.

MONEY MARKET AND GOVT. SECURITIES MARKET
Money market deal with short term monetary assets and claims, which are
generally from one day to one year duration.
Govt. securities on the other hand are also called dated securities to denote
that they are generally long term in nature and are issued by state and central
govt. under their borrowing programmes and duration of more than one year,
generally of 5 years and above.
These securities being long term in nature are also traded in govt. securities
market between institution and banks also on the stock exchanges- debt
segments.
MONEY MARKET
One of the important function of a well developed money market is to
channelize saving into short term productive investments like working
capital. Call money market, treasury bills market and markets for
commercial paper and certificate of deposit are some of the example of
money market.
CALL MONEY MARKET
The call money markets form a part of the national money market, whereday to- day surplus funds, mostly of banks are traded . The call money
loans are very short term in nature and the maturity period of this vary from
1 to 15 days. The money which is lent for one day in this market is known as
call money, and if it exceeds one day (but less than 15 days), is referred as
8/7/2019 Final Indian Finanacialsystem

21 Thakur College Of Science & Commerce
notice money in this market any amount could be lent or borrowed at a
convenient interest rate . Which is acceptable to both borrower and lender
.these loans are consider as highly liquid as they are repayable on demand at
the option of ether the lender or borrower.
PURPOSE
Call money is borrowed from the market to meet various requirements of
commercial bill market and commercial banks. Commercial bill market
borrower call money for short period to discount commercial bills.
Banks borrower in call market to:
1:- Fill the temporary gaps, or mismatches that banks normally face.
2:- Meet the cash Reserve Ratio requirement.
3: - Meet sudden demand for fund, which may arise due to large payment
and remittance.
Banks usually borrow form the market to avoid the penal interest rate fornot
meeting CRR requirement and high cost of refinance fromRBI. Call money
helps the banks to maintain short term liquidity position at comfortable
level.
LOCATION
In India call money markets are mainly located in commercial centers and
big industrial centers and industrial center such as Mumbai,Calcutta,
Chennai, Delhi and Ahmedabad. As BSE and NSE and head office of RBI
and many other banks are situated in Mumbai; the volume of funds involved
in call money market in Mumbai is far bigger than other cities.

PARTICIPANTS
Initially,only few large bankswere operating in the bank market. however
the market had expanded and now scheduled , non scheduled commercial
banks foreign banks ,state , district, and urban cooperative banks , financial
institution such as LIC,UTI,GIC, and its subsidiaries , IDBI, NABARD,
IRBI, ECGC, EXIM Bank, IFCI, NHB , TFCI, and SIDBI, Mutual fund
such as SBI Mutual fund . LIC Mutual funds. And RBI Intermediaries like
DFHI and STCI are participants in local call money markets. However RBI
has recently introduced restriction on some of the participants to phase them
out of call money market in a time bound manner.
Participant in call money market are split into two categories
1:- BORROWER AND LENDER:-
This comprises entities those who can both borrower and lend in this market,such as RBI, intermediaries like DFHI, and STCI and commercial banks.
2:- ONLY LENDER: -
This category comprises of entities those who can act only as lender, like
financial institution and mutual funds.
CALL RATES
8/7/2019 Final Indian Finanacialsystem
23/110
Indian Financial System
23 Thakur College Of Science & Commerce
The interest paid on call loan is known as the call rates. Unlike in the case of
other short and long rates. The call rate is expected to freely reflect the day
to day availability and long rates. These rates vary highly from day to day.
Often from hour to hour. While high rates indicate a tightness of liquidity
position in market. The rate is largely subject to be influenced by sources of
supply and demand for funds.
The call money rate had fluctuated from time to time reflecting the seasonal
variation in fund requirements. Call rates climbs high during busy seasons in
relation to those in slack season. These seasonal variations were high due to
a limited number of lender and many borrowers. The entry of financial
institution and money market mutual funds into the call market has reduced
the demand supply gap and these fluctuations gradually came down in recent
years.
Though the seasonal fluctuations were reduced to considerable extent, there
are still variations in the call rates due to the following reason:
1:- large borrower by banks to meet the CRR requirements on certain dates
cause a gate demand for call money. Theserates usually go up during the
first week to meet CRR requirements and decline afterwards.
2:- the sanction of loans by banks, in excess of their own resources compel
the bank to rely on the call market. Banks use the call market as a source of
funds for meeting dis-equilibrium of inflow and out flow of fund s.3:- the withdrawal of funds to pay advance tax by the corporate sector leads
to steep increase in call money rates in the market.

Commercial paper are short term, unsecured promissory notes issued at a
discount to face value by well- known companies that are financial strong
and carry a high credit rating . They are sold directly by the issuers to
investor, or else placed by borrowers through agents like merchant banks
and security houses the flexible maturity at which they can be issued are one
of the main attraction for borrower and investor since issues can be adapted
to the needs of both. The CP market has the advantage of giving highly rated
corporate borrowers cheaper fund than they could obtain from the banks
while still providing institutional investors with higher interest earning than
they could obtain form the banking system the issue of CP imparts a degree
of financial stability to the systems as the issuing company has an incentive
to remain financially strong.
THE FEATURES OF CP
1. They are negotiable by endorsement and delivery.2. They are issued in multiple of Rs 5 lakhs.3. The maturity varies between 15 days to a year.4.No prior approval of RBI is needed for CP issued.5. The tangible net worth issuing company should not be less than 4
lakhs
6. The company fund based working capital limit should not less than Rs10 crore.
7. The issuing company shall have P2 and A2 rating from CRISIL andICRA.

Certificate of Deposits,. Instruments such as the Certificates of Deposit
(CDs introduced in 1989), Commercial Paper (CP introduced in 1989),
inter-bank participation certificates (with and without risk) were
introduced to increase the range of instruments. Certificates of Deposit
are basically negotiable money market instruments issued by banks and
financial institutions during tight liquidity conditions. Smaller banks
with relatively smaller branch networks generally mobilise CDs. As CDs
are large size deposits, transaction costs on CDs are lower than retail
deposits
FEATURES OF CD
1. All scheduled bank other than RRB and scheduled cooperativebank are eligible to issue CDs.
2. CDs can be issued to individuals, corporation, companies, trust,funds and associations. NRI can subscribe to CDs but only on a
non- repatriation basis.

TREASURY BILLS MARKET:-
Treasury bills are the main financial instruments of money market. These
bills are issued by the government. The borrowings of the government are
monitored & controlled by the central bank. The bills are issued by the RBI
on behalf of the central government. The RBI is the agent of Union
Government. They are issued by tender or tap. The bills were sold to the
public by tender method up to 1965. These bills were put at weekly auctions.
A treasury bill is a particular kind of finance bill. It is a promissory note
issued by the government. Until 1950 these bills were also issued by the
state government. After 1950 onwards the central government has the
authority to issue such bills. These bills are greater liquidity than any other
kind of bills. They are of two kinds: a) ad hoc, b) regular.
Ad hoc treasury bills are issued to the state governments, semi government
departments & foreign ventral banks. They are not marketable. The ad hoc
bills are not sold to the banks & public. The regular treasury bills are sold to
the general public & banks. They are freely marketable. These bills are sold
by the RBI on behalf of the central government.
The treasury bills can be categorized as follows:-
1) 14 days treasury bills:-The 14 day treasury bills has been introduced from 1996-97. These
bills are non-transferable. They are issued only in book entry system
they would be redeemed at par. Generally the participants in this
market are state government, specific bodies & foreign central banks.
The discount rate on this bill will be decided at the beginning of the
year quarter.
8/7/2019 Final Indian Finanacialsystem
27/110
Indian Financial System
27 Thakur College Of Science & Commerce
2) 28 days treasury bills:-These bills were introduced in 1998. The treasury bills in India issued
on auction basis. The date of issue of these bills will be announced in
advance to the market. The information regarding the notified amount
is announced before each auction. The notified amount in respect of
treasury bills auction is announced in advance for the whole year
separately. A uniform calendar of treasury bills issuance is also
announced.
3) 91 days treasury bills:-The 91 days treasury bills were issued from July 1965. These were
issued tap basis at a discount rate. The discount rates vary between 2.5
to 4.6% P.a. from July 1974 the discount rate of 4.6% remained

NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE
The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the report of
the High Powered Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges,which recommended promotion of a National Stock Exchange by financial
institutions (FIs) to provide access to investors from all across the country
on an equal footing. Based on the recommendations, NSE was promoted by
leading Financial Institutions at the behest of the Government of India and
was incorporated in November 1992 as a tax-paying company unlike other
stock exchanges in the country.
On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts
(Regulation) Act, 1956 in April 1993, NSE commenced operations in the
Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment in June 1994. The Capital Market
(Equities) segment commenced operations in November 1994 and
operations in Derivatives segment commenced in June 2000.
NSE's mission is setting the agenda for change in the securities markets in
India. The NSE was set-up with the main objectives of:
y establishing a nation-wide trading facility for equities, debtinstruments and hybrids,
y ensuring equal access to investors all over the country through anappropriate communication network,
y providing a fair, efficient and transparent securities market toinvestors using electronic trading systems,
y enabling shorter settlement cycles and book entry settlements systems,and
8/7/2019 Final Indian Finanacialsystem

48 Thakur College Of Science & Commerce
y Meeting the current international standards of securities markets.
The standards set by NSE in terms of market practices and technology have
become industry benchmarks and are being emulated by other market
participants. NSE is more than a mere market facilitator. It's that force which
is guiding the industry towards new horizons and greater opportunities.
The logo of the NSE symbolises a single nationwide securities trading
facility ensuring equal and fair access to investors, trading members and
issuers all over the country. The initials of the Exchange viz., N, S and E
have been etched on the logo and are distinctly visible. The logo symbolises
use of state of the art information technology and satellite connectivity to
bring about the change within the securities industry. The logo symbolises
vibrancy and unleashing of creative energy to constantly bring about change
through innovation.
CORPORATE STRUCTURE
NSE is one of the first de-mutualised stock exchanges in the country, where
the ownership and management of the Exchange is completely divorced
from the right to trade on it. Though the impetus for its establishment came
8/7/2019 Final Indian Finanacialsystem
49/110
Indian Financial System
49 Thakur College Of Science & Commerce
from policy makers in the country, it has been set up as a public limited
company, owned by the leading institutional investors in the country.
From day one, NSE has adopted the form of a demutualised exchange - the
ownership, management and trading is in the hands of three different sets of
people. NSE is owned by a set of leading financial institutions, banks,
insurance companies and other financial intermediaries and is managed by
professionals, who do not directly or indirectly trade on the Exchange. This
has completely eliminated any conflict of interest and helped NSE in
aggressively pursuing policies and practices within a public interest
framework.
The NSE model however, does not preclude, but in fact accommodates
involvement, support and contribution of trading members in a variety of
ways. Its Board comprises of senior executives from promoter institutions,
eminent professionals in the fields of law, economics, accountancy, finance,
taxation, and etc, public representatives, nominees of SEBI and one full time
executive of the Exchange.
While the Board deals with broad policy issues, decisions relating to market
operations are delegated by the Board to various committees constituted byit. Such committees includes representatives from trading members,
professionals, the public and the management. The day-to-day management
of the Exchange is delegated to the Managing Director who is supported by
a team of professional staff.

INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL MARKETS
ORIGIN
The genesis of the present international markets can be teased to 1960s,
when there was a real demand for high quality dollar-denominated bonds
form wealthy Europeans (and others) who wished to hold their assets their
home countries or in currencies other then their own. These investors were
driven by the twin concerns of avoiding taxes in their home country and
protecting themselves against the falling value of domestic currencies. The
bonds which were then available for investment were subjected to
withholding tax. Further it is was also necessary to register to address these
concerns. These were issued in bearer forms and so, there was no of
ownership and tax was withheld.
Also, until 1970, the International Capital Market focused on debt financingand the equity finances were raised by the corporate entities primarily in the
domestic markets. This was due to the restrictions on cross-border equity
investments prevailing unit then in many countries. Investors too preferred
to invest in domestic equity issued due to perceived risks implied in foreign
equity issues either related to foreign currency exposure or related to
apprehensions of restrictions on such investments by the regulator.
Major changes have occurred since the 70s which have witnessed
expanding and fluctuating trade volumes and patterns with various blocks
experiencing extremes in fortunes in their exports/imports. This was the was
8/7/2019 Final Indian Finanacialsystem

Indian Financial System
52 Thakur College Of Science & Commerce
the period which saw the removal of exchange controls by countries like the
UK, franc and Japan which gave a further technology of markets have
played an important role in channelizing the funds from surplus unit to
deficit units across the globe. The international capital markets also become
a major source of external finance for nations with low internal saving. The
markets were classified into euro markets, American Markets and Other
Foreign Markets.
THE PLAYERS
Borrowers/Issuers, Lenders/ Investors and Intermediaries are the major
players of the international market. The role of these players is discussed
below.
BORROWERS/ISSUERS
These primarily are corporates, banks, financial institutions, government andquasi government bodies and supranational organizations, which need forex
funds for various reasons. The important reasons for corporate borrowings
are, need for foreign currencies for operation in markets abroad,
dull/saturated domestic market and expansion of operations into other
countries.
Governments borrow in the global financial market to adjust the balance of
payments mismatches, to gain net capital investments abroad and to keep a
sufficient inventory of foreign currency reserves for contingencies like
supporting the domestic currency against speculative pressures.

FOREIGN BONDS
These are relatively lesser known bonds issued by foreign entities for
raising medium to long-term financing from domestic money centers in
their domestic currencies. A brief note on the various instruments in this
category is given below:
a) YANKEE BONDS:These are US dollar denominated issues by foreign borrowers
(usually foreign governments or entities, supranational and highly
rated corporate borrowers) in the US bond markets.
A bond denominated in U.S. dollars and is publicly issued in the
U.S. by foreign banks and corporations. According to the
Securities Act of 1933, these bonds must first be registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before they can be
sold. Yankee bonds are often issued in trenches and each offering
can be as large as $1 billion.
Due to the high level of stringent regulations and standards that
must be adhered to, it may take up to 14 weeks (or3.5 months) for
a Yankee bond to be offered to the public. Part of the process
involves having debt-rating agencies evaluate the creditworthiness
of the Yankee bond's underlying issuer.
Foreign issuers tend to prefer issuing Yankee bonds during times
when the U.S. interest rates are low, because this enables the
foreign issuer to pay out less money in interest payments.

bonds can be used by non-Japanese companies to break into the

EURONOTES
Euronotes as a concept is different from syndicated bank credit and is
different from Eurobonds in terms of its structure and maturity period.
Euronotes command the price of a short-term instrument usually a few
basic points over LIBOR and in many instances at sub LIBOR levels.
The documentation formalities are minimal (unlike in the case of
syndicated credits or bond issues) and cost savings can be achieved on that
score too. The funding instruments in the form of Euronotes possess
flexibility and can be tailored to suit the specific requirements of different
types of borrowers. There are numerous applications of basic concepts of
Euronotes. These may be categorized under the following heads:
a) COMMERCIAL PAPER:These are short-term unsecured promissory notes which repay a
fixed amount on a certain future date. These are normally issued at a
discount to face value.
b)NOTE ISSUANCE FACILITIES (NIFs):The currency involved is mostly US dollars. A NIF is a medium-
term legally binding commitment under which a borrower can issue
short-term paper, of up to one year. The underlying currency is
mostly US dollar. Underwriting banks are committed either to

purchase any notes which the borrower b unable to sell or to provide
standing credit. These can be re-issued periodically.
c) MEDIUM-TERM NOTES (MTNs):MTNs are defined as sequentially issued fixed interest securities
which have a maturity of over one year. A typical MTN program
enables an issuer to issue Euronotes for different maturities. From
over one year up to the desired level of maturity. These are
essentially fixed rate funding arrangements as the price of each
preferred maturity is determined and fixed up front at the time of
launching. These are conceived as non-underwritten facilities, even
though international markets have started offering underwriting
support in specific instances.
A Global MTN (G-MTN) is issued worldwide by tapping Euro as
well as the- US markets under the same program.
Under G-MTN programs, issuers of different credit ratings are able
to raise finance by accessing retail as well as institutional investors.
In view of flexible access, speed and efficiency, and enhanced
investor base G-MTN programs afford numerous benefits to the
issuers.
Spreads paid on MTNs depend on credit ratings, treasury yield curve
and the familiarity of the issuers among investors. Investors include
Private Banks, Pension Funds, Mutual Funds and Insurance
Companies.
