2. Financial Market
The transfer of funds between primary
lenders and ultimate borrowers takes place
through the creation of securities or
financial assets.

fixed deposit of a commercial bank, the
bank issues him a fixed deposit receipt
which is a financial asset.
Issue of share certificate by the company
is also the example of financial asset.
3. Financial Market

financial asset instead of a physical asset.
The lender of funds (or investor) is the buyer
of the asset and the borrower of funds is the

financial assets are created and transferred is
known as the financial market.
When the financial assets transferred are
corporate securities and government
securities, the mechanism of transfer is known

When a new company is floated, its
shares are issued to the public in the
primary market as an Initial Public Offer

22. Primary Market / New Issue
Market
The NIM does not have a physical

a guarantee to the issuer to ensure
successful marketing of the issue.
An underwriter is an individual or

and other literature regarding new issues
among the investing public.
29. Methods of Floating New
Issues
Public Issue
Rights Issue
Private Placement
30. Public Issue
It involves sale of securities to members
of the public.
The issuing company makes an offer for
sale to the public directly of a fixed
number of shares at a specific price.
The offer is made through a legal
document called prospectus.
Public issues are mostly underwritten
by strong public financial institutions.
31. Public Issue
This is the most popular method for
floating securities in the new issue
market.
The company has to incur expenses on
various activities such as
advertisements, printing of prospectus,
bank’s commission, underwriting
commission, agent’s fees, legal charges,
etc.
32. Rights Issue
The rights issue involves selling of
securities to the existing shareholders in
proportion to their current holding.
As per Sec.81 of the Companies Act,
1956, when a company issues additional
equity capital it has offered first to the
existing shareholders on pro rata basis.
It is an inexpensive method of floatation of
shares as the offer is made through a
formal letter to the existing shareholders.
33. Private Placement
A private placement is a sale of securities
privately by a company to a selected group of
investors.
The securities are normally placed, in a
private placement, with the institutional
investors, mutual funds or other financial
institutions.
A formal prospectus is not necessary in the
case of private placement.
Underwriting arrangements are also not
required in private placement.
This method is useful to small companies.
34. Principal Steps in Floating a
Public Issue
Pre-issue tasks
Opening and closing of the issue
Post-issue tasks.
35. Pre-issue Tasks
Drafting and finalisation of the prospectus:
Prospectus is an essential document in a public issue.
The prospectus contains detailed information about the
company, its activities, promoters, directors, group
companies, capital structure, terms of the present issue,
details of the proposed project, details regarding
underwriting arrangements, etc.
The draft prospectus has to approved by the Board of
Directors of the company.
The draft prospectus has also to be filed with SEBI and
the Registrar of companies.
The final prospectus has to be prepared as per the
suggestions of SEBI and filed with SEBI and the Registrar
of companies.
36. Pre-issue Tasks
Selecting the intermediaries and
entering into agreements with them:
Merchant Banker
Registrar to an issue
Share transfer agent
Banker to an issue
37. Pre-issue Tasks
Attending to other formalities:
The prospectus and application forms
have to be printed and despatched to all
intermediaries and brokers for wide
circulation among the investing public.
An initial listing application has to be
filed with the stock exchange where the
issue is proposed to be listed.
38. Opening and closing of the
issue
The public issue is open for
subscription by the public on the pre-
announced opening date.
The application forms and application
money are received at the branches of
the bankers to the issue and forwarded
by these bankers to the Registrar to the
issue.
Two closing dates are prescribed for the
closing of the public issue.
39. Opening and closing of the
issue
The first of these is the ‘earliest closing
date’ which should not be less than
three days from the opening date.
If sufficient applications are received by
the company, the company may choose
to close the issue on the earliest closing
date itself.
The other closing date is the final or
latest closing date which shall not
exceed ten days from the opening date.
40. Post – issue Tasks
All the application forms received have
to be scrutinised, processed and
tabulated.
When the issue is not fully subscribed
to, it becomes the liability of the
underwriters to subscribe to the shortfall.
When the issue is oversubscribed, the
basis of allotment has to be decided in
consultation with the stock exchange.
41. Post – issue Tasks
Allotment letters and share certificates
have to be despatched to the allottees.
Refund orders have to be despatched to
the applicants whose applications are
rejected.
Shares have to be listed in the stock
exchange for trading.
42. Book Building
The usual procedure of a public issue is
through the fixed price method where
securities are offered for subscription to
the public at a fixed price.
An alternative method is now available
which is known as the book building
process.
SEBI announced guidelines for the
book building process, for the first time,
in October 1995.
43. Book Building
Under the book building process, the issue
price is not fixed in advance.
It is determined by the offer of potential
investors about the price which they are
willing to pay for the issue.
The price of the security is determined as
the weighted average at which the majority
of investors are willing to buy the security.
Under the book building process, the issue
price of a security is determined by the
demand and supply forces in the capital
market.
44. Role of Primary Market
Primary market is the medium for raising
fresh capital in the form of equity and debt.
It mops up resources from the public and
makes them available for meeting the long-
term capital requirements of corporate
business and industry.
The primary market brings together the
two principal constituents of the market,
namely the investors and the seekers of
the capital.
45. Role of Primary Market
Capital formation takes place in the
primary market.
The economic growth of country is
possible only through the primary
market.
46. Regulation of Primary
Market
The issuer has to engage the services of a number
of intermediaries and comply with complex legal and
other formalities.
Investors faces much risk while operating in the
primary market.
Investors in the primary market need protection from
fraudulent operators.
Up to 1992, the primary market was controlled by
the Controller of Capital Issues (CCI) appointed
under the Capital Issues Control Act, 1947.
During the period, the pricing of capital issues was
regulated by CCI.
47. Regulation of Primary
Market
The Securities and Exchange Board of
India (SEBI) was formed under the SEBI
Act, 1992, with the prime objective of
protecting the interests of investors in
securities as well as for promoting and
regulating the securities market.
All public issues since January 1992 are
governed by the rules, regulations and
guidelines issued by SEBI.
48. Regulation of Primary
Market
SEBI has been instrumental in bringing
greater transparency in capital issues.
It has issued detailed guidelines to
standardise disclosure obligations of
companies issuing securities.
Companies floating public issues are now
required to disclose all relevant information
affecting investor’s interests.
SEBI constantly reviews its guidelines to
make them more market friendly and
investor friendly.
49. Stock Exchange

securities already issued by companies are
subsequently traded among investors.
The secondary market where continuous
trading in securities takes place is the stock
exchange.

market places where the agents of buyers
and sellers operated through the auction
process.

based” trading where bid prices and offer
prices (or ask prices) are displayed on the
computer screen.
Bid price refers to the price at which an
investor is willing to buy the security.
Offer price refers to the price at which an
investor is willing to sell the security.

1995 which is called BOLT (BSE On Line
Trading)
To begin with, BOLT was a ‘quote-driven’
as well as an ‘order-driven’ system, with
jobbers (specialists) feeding two-way
quotes and brokers feeding buy or sell
orders.
58. The Bombay Stock Exchange

The NSE has opted for an order-driven
system.
When a trade takes place, a trade
confirmation slip is printed at the trading
member’s work station. It gives details like
quantity, price, code number of counterparty,
and so on.
62. The National Stock Exchange

The ISE was recognised as a stock
exchange by SEBI and it commenced
trading in February, 1999.
64. Inter-connected Stock

74. Trading System in Stock
Exchanges
Trading System: The system of trading prevailing in
stock exchanges for many years was known as floor

trade with each other through the computer
network.
The screen-based trading systems are of two
types.
1. Quote driven system
2. Order driven system
76. Trading System in Stock
Exchanges
Quote driven system: Under this system, the
market-maker, who is the dealer in a particular
security, inputs two-way quotes into the system, that
is, his bid price (buying price) and offer price (selling
price).
The market participants then place their orders
based on the bid-offer quotes.
These are then automatically matched by the
system according to certain rules.
Order driven system: Under this system, clients
place their buy and sell orders with the brokers.
