Conclusion :
merchant banking is difficult to define. The function
of merchant bankers varies from country to country. Merchant
banks are known as “Accepting and issuing houses” in UK and as
“investment banks” in USA
In India merchant bankers are allowed to undertake
only those activities which are related to securities market
including issue management activities and are prohibited
from carrying on fund based activities other than those
related exclusively to the capital market. This reduces the
scope of merchant banking in India.
