18. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Sample)
After the industrial revolution, as the size of the business enterprise grew, it was no longer
possible for proprietor or even partnerships to raise large amounts of money required for
undertaking large entrepreneurial ventures. Such huge requirement of capital could only be
met by the mechanism of issue of shares. The breaking up of the total ownership of a
business into small units, each unit represented by share certificate, enables them to be easily
bought and sold. The institution where this buying and selling of shares takes place is called
the Stock Exchange.
The first online share broking firm in India - Geojit Financial Services Limited was
established in 1987, which is now growing as a financial super market, and it provides allmodern financial capital market services under one roof.
The project title is A study of the settlement process and its impact on the business volume
(a case study of Geojit).
The objective is to study the changes in the business volume due to the change in the
settlement process from T+5 to T+2 and also to find the shortcoming if any in the system and
to provide suggestions to improve the same.
Research method used is descriptive and sample size is 100. The sources of data collected are
from two sources primary data was collected through observation, discussion with the
executive and unstructured interviews. The secondary data was collected through the
internet, materials provided by the company, annual reports and brochures of the company.
From the analysis it can be observed that due to the decrease in the settlement process time
from T+5 to T+2 days, there is an increase in the average number of clients trading daily,
increase in the average daily trading of the company, increase in the number of branches
opened by Geojit thereby a decrease the number of clients handled per branch.
Hence it can be concluded that the organization should maintain T+2 days settlement process
time as it is advantageous to the company.
