2008.
Reliance Capital has a net worth of Rs.6,862 crores (US$ 1.6 billion) and total

million customers in 1 year of official launch. It has over 5,000 outlets across
700 towns/cities. Average daily turnover in excess of Rs 2,000 crores.
Considering the entire life market, including the Rs. 12,890 crores booked by
life insurance Corporation, Reliance life insurance market share works out to
around 6.25% .
The life insurance market continuous to be dominated by LIC which has about
67% share this only a marginal dip from its 73% share in end-July . These
comparisons are only for first year or new business premium.
The gap between Reliance life insurance and the second-in-line private insurer
is vast. In fact, this scenario has led some analysts to wonder if the company is
not a trifle too aggressive. But others say this has more to do with the
companies customer-centric focus, its pan-India presence and superior risk
management and investment strategies. Reliance Money is not, however,
resting on its laurels.
Companys customer centric approach will be studied during the training
period and the finding of the research work will definitely focus on the present
condition & future requirement (if any) relating to products of company.

RELIANCE DEMATE ACCOUNT
Overview of Demat Account.
In India, a Demat account , the abbreviation for dematerialised account , is a
type of banking account which dematerializes paper-based physical stock
shares. The dematerialised 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 possess a Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the deadline for
submission of PAN details to the depository lapsed on January 2007.
Procedure
1. Fill demat request form (DRF) (obtained from a depository participant or
DP with whom your depository account is opened).
2. Deface the share certificate(s) you want to dematerialise by writing across
Surrendered for dematerialisation.
3. Submit the DRF & share certificate(s) to DP. DP would forward them to the
issuer / their R&T Agent .
4. After dematerialisation, your depository account with your DP, would be
credited with the dematerialised securities.

Required Documents
The extent of documentation required to open a demat account may vary
according to your relationship with the institution. If you plan to open a demat
account with a bank, a savings, current and, or other account for which the
holder have been issued a check book, such holder has an edge over the non-
account holder. In fact, banks usually offer additional incentives to customers
who open a demat account with them. Along with the application form, your
photographs (with co-applicants) and proof of identity/residence/date of birth
have to be submitted. The DPs also ask for a DP-client agreement to be
executed on non-judicial stamp paper. Here is a broad list:
A canceled check, preferably MICR Proof of Identification
Proof of Address
Pan card (mandatory)
25
8/9/2019 Relance Money Project
26/111
Recent photographs, one and, or more
For proof of identification and, or address self-attested facsimile copies of
PAN card, Voters ID, Passport, Ration card, Drivers license, Photo credit
card, Employee ID card, Bank attestation, latest IT returns and, or latest
Electricity/Landline phone bill are sufficient. While they only ask for
photocopies of the documents, they will need the originals for verification.
Points To Remember
1. Only securities admitted by NSDL can be dematerialised. The list is
available with your DP.
2. Only securities registered in the name of the account holder can be
dematerialised.
3. Dematerialisation is normally completed within 15 days after the share
certificates have reached the issuer/ their R&T Agent. Thus it may take
you a month from the date you hand over shares, to receive demat
credit.
4. Dematerialisation would be done only when the issuer / their R&T
Agent is satisfied of genuineness of securities & ownership status.
5. All the joint holders should sign the DRF.
26
8/9/2019 Relance Money Project
27/111
6. The pattern of holding in the DRF should match the pattern of holding
on the share certificate & the pattern in which account is opened.
7. Demat requests with name(s) not matching exactly with the name(s)
appearing on the certificates merely on account of initials not beingspelt out fully or put after or prior to the surname, would be processed,
provided the signature(s) of the client(s) on the DRF tallies with the
specimen signature(s) available with the issuer/ their R & T agent.
8. If the signature in the DRF does not match with the signature available
with the issuer/ their R & T agent, the issuer/ their R & T agent may at
the time of demat confirmation, ask for additional documentation (like
bank attestation/ notarisation, etc.) to prove that the certificate belongs
to the person who forwarded the DRF.
9. In case there is any problem in processing the DRF, contact your DP
and if he cannot resolve the problem you may contact NSDL.

Systematic Investment Plan(SIP) :
We have already mentioned about SIPs in brief in the previous pages but now
going into details, we will see how the power of compounding could benefit
us. In such case, every small amounts invested regularly can growsubstantially. SIP gives a clear picture of how an early and regular investment
can help the investor in wealth creation. Due to its unlimited advantages SIP
could be redefined as a methodology of fund investing regularly to benefit
regularly from the stock market volatility. In the later sections we will see how
returns generated from some of the SIPs have outperformed their benchmark.
But before moving on to that lets have a look at some of the top performing
SIPs and their return for 1 year:

In the above chart, we can see how if we start investing Rs.1000 per month
then what return well get for the total investment of Rs. 12000. There is
reliance diversified power sector retail giving the maximum returns of Rs.
2524.07 per year which comes to 21% roughly. Next we can see if anybody
would have undertaken the SIP in Principal would have got returns of app.
18%. We can see reliance regular savings equity, DWS investment
opportunities and BOB growth fund giving returns of 13.20%, 14.92%, and
14.74% respectively which is greater than any other monthly investment
options. Thus we can easily make out how SIP is beneficial for us. Its hassle
free, it forces the investors to save and get them into the habit of saving. Also
paying a small amount of Rs. 1000 is easy and convenient for them, thus putting no pressure on their pockets.
Now we will analyze some of the equity fund SIP s of Birla Sunlife with BSE
200 and bank fixed deposits In a tabular format as well as graphical.
Exposure of Mutual Funds Companies in India

company in India with Rs. 67bn assets under management (AUM), by the end
of its monopoly era, the Unit Trust of India (UTI). By the end of the 80s

private sector funds started penetrating the fund families. In the same year the
first Mutual Fund Regulations came into existence with re-registering all
mutual funds except UTI. The regulations were further given a revised shape
in 1996.
Kothari Pioneer was the first private sector mutual fund company in India

Advantages of Mutual Funds
Diversification: The best mutual funds design their portfolios so
individual investments will react differently to the same economic
conditions. For example, economic conditions like a rise in interest rates
may cause certain securities in a diversified portfolio to decrease in
value. Other securities in the portfolio will respond to the same
economic conditions by increasing in value. When a portfolio is
balanced in this way, the value of the overall portfolio should gradually
increase over time, even if some securities lose value.
Professional Management: Most mutual funds pay topflight
professionals to manage their investments. These managers decide what
securities the fund will buy and sell.
Regulatory oversight: Mutual funds are subject to many governmentregulations that protect investors from fraud.
Liquidity: It's easy to get your money out of a mutual fund. Write a
check, make a call, and you've got the cash.
Convenience: You can usually buy mutual fund shares by mail, phone,
or over the Internet.
Low cost: Mutual fund expenses are often no more than 1.5 percent of
your investment. Expenses for Index Funds are less than that, because
39
8/9/2019 Relance Money Project
40/111
index funds are not actively managed. Instead, they automatically buy
stock in companies that are listed on a specific index
Transparency
Flexibility
Choice of schemes
Tax benefits
Well regulated
Drawbacks of Mutual Funds
Mutual funds have their drawbacks and may not be for everyone:
No Guarantees: No investment is risk free. If the entire stock market
declines in value, the value of mutual fund shares will go down as well,
no matter how balanced the portfolio. Investors encounter fewer risks
when they invest in mutual funds than when they buy and sell stocks on
their own. However, anyone who invests through a mutual fund runs the
risk of losing money.
Fees and commissions: All funds charge administrative fees to cover
their day-to-day expenses. Some funds also charge sales commissions
or "loads" to compensate brokers, financial consultants, or financial
40
8/9/2019 Relance Money Project
41/111
planners. Even if you don't use a broker or other financial adviser, you
will pay a sales commission if you buy shares in a Load Fund.
Taxes: During a typical year, most actively managed mutual funds sell
anywhere from 20 to 70 percent of the securities in their portfolios. If
your fund makes a profit on its sales, you will pay taxes on the income
you receive, even if you reinvest the money you made.
Management risk : When you invest in a mutual fund, you depend on
the fund's manager to make the right decisions regarding the fund's
portfolio. If the manager does not perform as well as you had hoped,
you might not make as much money on your investment as you
expected. Of course, if you invest in Index Funds, you forego
management risk, because these funds do not employ managers
How You Can Invest in a Mutual Fund?
There are two ways in which you can invest in a mutual fund.
1. One-Time Outright Payment
If you invest directly in the fund, you just hand over the cheques and you
get your fund units depending on the value of the units on that particular day.
41
8/9/2019 Relance Money Project
42/111
Lets say you want to invest Rs 10,000. All you have to do is approach the
fund and buy units worth Rs 10,000. There will be two factors determining
how many units you get.
Entry load
This is the fee you pay on the amount you invest. Lets say the entry load is
2.25%. Two percent on Rs 10,000* would Rs 225. Now, you have just Rs
9,775 to invest.
NAV
The Net Asset Value is the price of a unit of a fund. Lets say that the NAV
on the day you invest is Rs 30. So you will get 326.67 units (Rs 9800 / 30).
2. Periodic Investments
This is referred to as a SIP ( Systematic Investment Plan ).
That means that, every month, you commit to investing, say, Rs 1,000 in
your fund. At the end of a year, you would have invested Rs 12,000 in your
fund.
Lets say the NAV on the day you invest in the first month is Rs 20; you
will get 50 units.
42
8/9/2019 Relance Money Project
43/111
The next month, the NAV is Rs 25. You will get 40 units.
The following month, the NAV is Rs 18. You will get 55.56 units.
So, after three months, you would have 145.56 units. On an average, youwould have paid around Rs 21 per unit. This is because, when the NAV is
high, you get fewer units per Rs 1,000. When the NAV falls, you get more
units per Rs 1,000.
1. Is there a load?
An exit load is a fee you pay the fund when you sell the units, just like the
entry load is a fee you pay when you buy the units. Initially, funds never
charged an entry load on SIPs. Now, however, a number of them do.
You will also have the check if there is an exit load. Generally, though,
there is none. Also, if there is an entry load, an exit load will not be
charged.
An exit load may be charged if you stop the SIP mid-way. Lets say youhave a one-year SIP but discontinue after five months, then an exit load will
be levied. These conditions will wary between mutual funds.
2. What is the Minimum Investment?
If you do a one time investment, the minimum amount that you have to
invest is Rs 5,000.
If you invest via an SIP, the amount drops. Each fund has its own minimum
amount. Some may keep it at least Rs 500 per month; others may keep it as
43
8/9/2019 Relance Money Project
44/111
Rs 1,000. [ Only in Reliance mutual funds, you can invest as little as Rs.
100/- per month .]
3. How often does one have to invest?
It would depend on the fund.
Some insist the SIP must be done every month. Others give you the option
of investing once in three months or once in six months.
They also give fixed dates. So you will get the option of various dates and
you will have to choose one. Lets say you are presented with these dates: 1,10, 20 or 30. You can pick any one date.
If you pick the 10th of the month, then on that day, the amount you have
decided to invest in the fund has to be credited to your mutual fund.
4. How must the payment be made?
You can opt for the Electronic Clearance Service from your bank; this
means the mutual fund will, as per your instructions, debit a certain amount
from your account every month.
Lets say you have a SIP of Rs 1,000 every month and you have chosen to
invest in it on the 10th of every month. Under this option, you can instruct
your mutual fund to directly debit your bank account of Rs 1,000 on the due
date.
44
8/9/2019 Relance Money Project
45/111
If you dont have the required money in your account, then for that month,
no units will be allocated to you. But, if this continues periodically, the
mutual fund will discontinue the SIP. You need to check with each mutual
fund what their parameters are.
Alternately, you can give cheques to your mutual fund. In this case, they
may ask for five Post Dated Cheques upfront with your first investment.
Since these cheques are dated ahead of time, they cannot be processed till
the date indicated.
5. Must I state for how long I want the SIP?
Yes. You will have to state whether you want it for a year or two years, etc.
If, during the course of this period, you realize you cannot continue with the
SIP, all you have to do is inform the fund 15 days prior to the payout.
The SIP will be discontinued. You can continue to keep your money with
the fund and withdraw it when you want.
6. Do all funds offer SIP?
No. Liquid funds, cash funds and floating rate debt funds do not offer an
SIP. These are funds that invest in very short-term fixed-return investments.
Floating rate debt funds invest in fixed return investments where the interest
rate moves in tandem with interest rates in the economy (just like a floatingrate home loan).
45
8/9/2019 Relance Money Project
46/111
All types of equity funds (funds that invest in the shares of companies), debt
funds (funds that invest in fixed-return investments) and balanced funds
(funds that invest in both) offer a SIP.
7. Tax implications
Lets say you have invested in the SIP option of a diversified equity fund.
If you sell the units after a year of buying, you pay no capital gains tax. If
you sell if before a year, you pay capital gains tax of 15%.
Lets say you invest through a SIP for 12 months: January to December 2007. Now, in March 2008, you want to sell some units.
Will you be charged capital gains tax?
The system of first-in, first-out applies here. So, the amount you invest in
January 2007 and the units you bought with that money will be regarded as
the units you sell in March 2008.
For tax purposes, the units that you sell first will be considered as the first
units bought.
8. How will an SIP help?
When you buy the units of a fund, you may do so when the NAV is really
high. For instance, lets say you bought the units of a fund when the Bull
Run was at its peak, leading to a high NAV.
46
8/9/2019 Relance Money Project
47/111
If the market dips after that, the value of your investments falls and you
may have to wait for a long while to make a return on your investment. But,
if you invest via a SIP, you do not commit the error of buying units when
the market is at its peak. Since you are buying small amounts continuously,your investment will average out over a period of time.
You will end up buying some units at a high cost and some units a lower
price. Over time, your chances of making a profit are much higher when
compared to an one-time investment.

If you are a day trader, you should make proper selection of the stock and
when the suitable time comes, sell it. Dont wait for further increase;
otherwise you may lose your money. In case of long-term investing, you
should pick the stocks that have some demand and when the price reaches

that make them viable and vibrant. Meanwhile, these exchanges have become
members of the national level exchanges through formation of subsidiaries
whose business is showing continuous growth and progress.
The number of brokers in various stock exchanges rose from 6,711 in 1994-
95 to 9,335 in FY06. The number of brokers in all the exchanges together
peaked to 10,213 in the year FY01 but gradually declined thereafter when the
regional stock exchanges began to lose business in the light of wide ranging
market structure reforms introduced since then. In FY01, when the markets
were in upswing, several regional stock exchanges were generating business
owing to the availability of deferral products, such Badla and different
settlement calendars prevailing at that time in these exchanges. For instance
in FY01, the Delhi Stock Exchange registered cash market turnover of Rs
838.71 bn; Uttar Pradesh Stock Exchange, Rs 247.47 bn, Ludhiana Stock
Exchange Rs 97.32 bn, Pune Stock Exchange Rs 61.71 bn as against Rs
13,395.11 bn of the turnover at the National Stock Exchange and Rs
10,000.32 bn turnover at the Bombay Stock Exchange. With the abolition of the deferral products and introduction of uniform T+2 settlement cycle, the
liquidity in these exchanges flowed to the national level system consisting of
NSE and BSE.

RBI as supervisor of Money Market Mutual Funds - RBI has
supervisory responsibility over all entities that operate in the money
markets. Hence in the past Money Market Mutual Funds scheme of Mutual
funds had to be abide by policies laid down by RBI. Recently, it has been
decided that Money Market Mutual Funds of registered mutual funds
will be regulated by SEBI through SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations
1996.
Ministry of Finance - (MoF) ultimately supervises both the RBI & the
SEBI and plays the role of apex authority for any major disputes over SEBI
guidelines.

group of market participants, which is empowered by the apex regulatory
authority to exercise pre-defined authority over regulation of their members.
For example stock exchanges.
However everybody representing a group of market participants does not
automatically become a SRO.

72/111
The main objective of training is to aware students about new market
concept & industrial environment in which they have to work after the
completion of their course
It is not possible for students to master everything in this short span of time. But it does help the students in knowing about what is happening in
the market & new technologies & trends that are prevalent in the market.
My objective during the summer training was to learn about all the
products. The company provides the knowledge about the online share
trading, DMAT A/C, mutual fund and Life Insurance. It gave the basic
knowledge as well as the concept behind these. I also learned about how to
deliver the products in front of the customers. It was a good learning that
how to interact with the different kind of customer in the market.
Therefore I have selected a topic for the project which is related to
customer perspective about share trading and mutual fund with reference to
Reliance Money.

DATA COLLECTION:
Proceeding further after determines the Methodology and limitation of the
study the next step is to analyze the Data being collected for the study. Data is
being collected from various sources like:-

Telephonic Information etc.
VI.I QUESTIONAIRE:-

to give feedback about the services provided to them and also to find
the satisfaction level of the investor for a particular investment
product .Questionnaire is an easy and simple way of collecting a data
.After filling up of form the next step is to evaluate the form in different
dimensions and draw a conclusion.
It is difficult to get a Questionnaire filled by corporate because of time
they dont have time to fill the Questionnaire so at the time of meeting
them personally or after that the Questionnaire is filled by us.
The Sample size taken for this study is 100 which is not enough to draw
a conclusion but due to time limitation only this much size has beentaken into consideration. After analyzing the Questionnaire the
following evaluation has been done:-

existing customer and the prospective investors. It is very difficult to reveal

Some are:-
People are not ready to listen.
People ask question like from where did you get the number?

more transparent system, investment in the Stock Market can definitely be
increased.

4. Awareness of Reliance Money as a Brand
This pie-chart shows that reliance money has a reasonable amount of Brand
awareness in terms of a premier Retail stock broking company. This brand
image should be further leveraged by the company to increase its market
share over its competitors.

Although there is sufficiently high brand equity among the target audience
yet, it is to be noted that the customers are not aware of the facilities
provided by the company meaning thereby, that, the company should
concentrate more towards promotional tools and increase its focus on
product awareness rather than brand awareness.

7. Frequency of Trading
Inspite of the huge returns that the share market promises, we see that there
is still a dearth of active traders and investors. This is because of the non
transparent structure of the Indian share market and the skepticism of the
target audience that is generated by the volatility of the stock market. It
requires efficient bureaucratic interventio
