COMMODITY EXCHANGES OF INDIA :
§ Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited (MCX)
§ National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX)
§ Indian National Multi-Commodity Exchange (NMCE)
§ Commodity Exchange Limited ICEX.
All the Trading facilities are provided only through their members. Therefore memberships or seats , on the exchange are valuable assets. The majority of seats are commission broker seats, most of which are owned by large full service brokerage firms.
Regional Exchanges also sponsor trading of some firms that are traded on National Exchanges. This dual listing enables local brokerage firms to trade in shares of large firms without needing to purchase memberships on the larger exchanges like BSE and NSE. This for example, Infosys is listed on the Bangalore stock exchange apart from BSE and NSE. However, BSE and NSE are still the preferred exchanges for large Traders.
Like that in various Cities stock Exchanges were present. After the formation of “ NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE – NSE ” in 1994 , since Mumbai stock exchanges alone are computerized all others are having tie up with NSE. Let us look at a glance to the World Stock markets:-
Brokerage Charges:-
Who can open the De-mat Account ?
1. Indian Citizens (Including minor )
2. Companies
3. Partnership Organizations
4. Trusties.
5. Hindu Joint Families (H.U.F)
6. Anglo Indians
7. Non resident Indians (N.R.I) and
8. Foreign Institutional Investors (FII’s)
Documents needed for Opening De-mat Account :-
They are :
(a) Spot delivery transactions
(b) Forward transactions
OTC has a unique feature of trading compared to other traditional exchanges. That is, certificates of listed securities and initiated debentures are not traded at OTC. The original certificate will be safely with the custodian. But, a counter receipt is generated out at the counter which substitutes the share certificate and is used for all transactions.
In the case of permitted securities, the system is similar to a traditional stock exchange. The difference is that the delivery and payment procedure will be completed within 14 days.
Compared to the traditional Exchanges, OTC Exchange network has the following advantages:
OTCEI has widely dispersed trading mechanism across the country which provides greater liquidity and lesser risk of intermediary charges.
Greater transparency and accuracy of prices is obtained due to the screen-based scrip less trading.
Since the exact price of the transaction is shown on the computer screen, the investor gets to know the exact price at which s/he is trading.
Faster settlement and transfer process compared to other exchanges.
In the case of an OTC issue (new issue), the allotment procedure is completed in a month and trading commences after a month of the issue closure, whereas it takes a longer period for the same with respect to other exchanges.
Thus, with the superior trading mechanism coupled with information transparency investors are gradually becoming aware of the manifold advantages of the OTCEI.
Advantages of OTCEI :-
1. Greater liquidity and lesser risk of intermediary charges due to widely spread trading
mechanism across India,
2. The screen based scrip less trading ensures transparency and accuracy of prices,
3. faster settlement and transfer process as compared to other exchanges,
4. Shorter Allotment procedure ( in case of a new issue ) than other exchanges.
Likewise, previously to buy / sell a stock we ought to go directly to the stock Exchange. Later on by making a phone call, to our Share broker, we can buy / sell the desired stock and quantity. Now-a-days after the arrival of ( Internet ) Broadband anyone is able to buy / sell stocks in his own residence or even through mobile phones, etc.

But before entering the stock market to buy / sell stocks, we need an account like a Bank account, called “ De-mat Account ” and “ Broking account ”. In previous years a certificate ( Paper form ) will be given on authority to stocks purchased.
Many disadvantages were found in issuing those in paper form. Those printed in Paper must be kept safe, may be torn out, burnt in fire, destroyed in Water etc.
After the arrival of Computers, as a substitute to Paper Certificates, by the Electronic methods, all were converted to Digital format (Paper-less).
TRADING ACCOUNT:-
Any person to buy / sell stocks in stock market, a “ Broker ” is required, who is an authorized member of the Stock Market. We have to open a “Trading Account” to a “Broker” as desired by us.
Without Trading account we can’t do business with any Broker. There are Hundreds of Brokers each of them may be having branches in various towns.
For Example:- You desired to Buy / Sell stocks in stock market. An advance Cheque must be given to your Broker. Based upon the value of your Cheque, the broker finds no difficulty to buy / sell stocks within the Cheque value.
Supposing no advance payment is given ! On what basis he can purchase stocks? He may confuse or never buy stocks on your behalf.
On your request your broker can purchase the desired stocks, and quantity as mentioned by you. After purchasing he may give the (Buy order Execution ) Buying order form to you. After purchasing the stocks, the no: of stocks will be increased, and money will get reduced in your Trading Account.
While selling stocks, share document if given to your Broker, he may sell to another Broker, and collect the money. And the stock selling price will be credited in your Trading account. As needed by you, the sold amount from the Broker can be collected by means of a Cheque. After depositing in your Bank account can be encashed.
Traditionally for several years share transactions were performed in the above manner. Auction had taken place at which cost, the Broker purchased at which cost said to us, were all entirely suspicious.
Moreover, everyone felt that the Trading transactions were conducted in Dark room atmosphere, so that no investor is aware of the Truth happening Inside.
DE-MAT ACCOUNT:- ( De- Materialized account )
In the above situation Transparent Auction method was Introduced. Previously within the stock exchange auction conducted only in the presence of several stock brokers, was modified, and then with the help of Computer ventilation’s due to the Technological Development, made visible to everyone.
The Auction Bids offered by investors were visible in “ ON LINE ”. Brokers were able to open branches throughout the country and in various cities. Auction and Bargaining were conducted in front of the Computer Screen.
In olden method, the stocks bought / sold will be known to the Brokers within the Auction Hall. But in Computerized Transaction, Auction and Bargaining visible to everyone, none is necessary to show their Identity.
While purchasing stocks as an authority of stocks purchased a copy of “ Share Certificate” will be given. Those were also be recorded like name of the purchaser, no: of stocks in the Company Registrar’s documents.
Since all the certificates were in Physical or Material form it can be visibly seen, touched, and taken in hand, watch its colour, even smell the paper, etc…
Share certificate while kept in home due to the following reasons like Lost, theft, Fire, Flood, may get damaged and possibilities are also there, to get completely Destroyed. Instead of securing in Material form an alternative method to this, would be better for all.
The solution to the above problem is De-Mat account. Material can be said as physical form whereas, De-Material can be said as immaterial form. No Shape, can’t be seen, can’t be touched etc. Only we can realize and feel its presence.
Many disadvantages were found in issuing those in paper form. Those printed in Paper must be kept safe, may be torn out, burnt in fire, destroyed in Water etc.
After the arrival of Computers, as a substitute to Paper Certificates, by the Electronic methods, all were converted to Digital format (Paper-less).
TRADING ACCOUNT:-
Any person to buy / sell stocks in stock market, a “ Broker ” is required, who is an authorized member of the Stock Market. We have to open a “Trading Account” to a “Broker” as desired by us.
Without Trading account we can’t do business with any Broker. There are Hundreds of Brokers each of them may be having branches in various towns.
For Example:- You desired to Buy / Sell stocks in stock market. An advance Cheque must be given to your Broker. Based upon the value of your Cheque, the broker finds no difficulty to buy / sell stocks within the Cheque value.
Supposing no advance payment is given ! On what basis he can purchase stocks? He may confuse or never buy stocks on your behalf.
On your request your broker can purchase the desired stocks, and quantity as mentioned by you. After purchasing he may give the (Buy order Execution ) Buying order form to you. After purchasing the stocks, the no: of stocks will be increased, and money will get reduced in your Trading Account.
While selling stocks, share document if given to your Broker, he may sell to another Broker, and collect the money. And the stock selling price will be credited in your Trading account. As needed by you, the sold amount from the Broker can be collected by means of a Cheque. After depositing in your Bank account can be encashed.
Traditionally for several years share transactions were performed in the above manner. Auction had taken place at which cost, the Broker purchased at which cost said to us, were all entirely suspicious.
Moreover, everyone felt that the Trading transactions were conducted in Dark room atmosphere, so that no investor is aware of the Truth happening Inside.
DE-MAT ACCOUNT:- ( De- Materialized account )
In the above situation Transparent Auction method was Introduced. Previously within the stock exchange auction conducted only in the presence of several stock brokers, was modified, and then with the help of Computer ventilation’s due to the Technological Development, made visible to everyone.
The Auction Bids offered by investors were visible in “ ON LINE ”. Brokers were able to open branches throughout the country and in various cities. Auction and Bargaining were conducted in front of the Computer Screen.
In olden method, the stocks bought / sold will be known to the Brokers within the Auction Hall. But in Computerized Transaction, Auction and Bargaining visible to everyone, none is necessary to show their Identity.

Types of Transactions
The flowchart below describes the types of transactions that can be carried out on the Indian stock exchanges:
The flowchart below describes the types of transactions that can be carried out on the Indian stock exchanges:
They are :
(a) Spot delivery transactions
" For delivery and payment within the time or on the date stipulated when entering into the contract which shall not be more than 14 days following the date of the contract " : and
(b) Forward transactions
" Delivery and payment can be extended by further period of 14 days each so that the overall period does not exceed 90 days from the date of the contract".
The latter is permitted only in the case of specified shares. The brokers who carry over the out standings pay carry over charges (can tango or backwardation) which are usually determined by the rates of interest prevailing.
A member broker in an Indian stock exchange can act as an agent, buy and sell securities for his clients on a commission basis and also can act as a trader or dealer as a principal, buy and sell securities on his own account and risk, in contrast with the practice prevailing on New York and London Stock Exchanges, where a member can act as a jobber or a broker only.
The nature of trading on Indian Stock Exchanges are that of age old conventional style of face-to-face trading with bids and offers being made by open outcry. However, there is a great amount of effort to modernize the Indian stock exchanges in the very recent times.
Indian stock exchange allows a member broker to perform following activities:
1. Act as an Agent,
2. Buy and sell securities for his clients and charge commission for the same,
3. Act as a trader or dealer as a principal,
4. Buy and sell securities on his own account and risk.
Over The Counter Exchange of India (OTCEI)
Traditionally, trading in Stock Exchanges in India followed a conventional style where people used to gather at the Exchange and bids and offers were made by open outcry.
The age-old traditional trading mechanism prevailed in the Indian stock markets gave way to many functional inefficiencies, such as, absence of liquidity, lack of transparency, unduly long settlement periods and binami transactions, which adversely affected the investors to a great extent.
In order to overcome these inefficiencies, and to provide improved services to investors, the country's first ringless, scripless, electronic stock exchange - OTCEI - was created in 1992 by country's premier financial institutions –
Unit Trust of India, Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India, Industrial Development Bank of India, SBI Capital Markets, Industrial Finance Corporation of India, General Insurance Corporation and its subsidiaries and Can Bank Financial Services.
Trading at OTCEI is done over the centres spread across the country. Securities traded on the OTCEI are classified into:
Listed Securities -
The shares and debentures of the companies listed on the OTC can be bought or sold at any OTC counter all over the country and they should not be listed anywhere else
Permitted Securities -
Certain shares and debentures listed on other exchanges and units of mutual funds are allowed to be traded
Initiated debentures -
Any equity holding at least one lakh debentures of a particular scrip can offer them for trading on the OTC.
The latter is permitted only in the case of specified shares. The brokers who carry over the out standings pay carry over charges (can tango or backwardation) which are usually determined by the rates of interest prevailing.

Initiated debentures -
Any equity holding at least one lakh debentures of a particular scrip can offer them for trading on the OTC.
OTC has a unique feature of trading compared to other traditional exchanges. That is, certificates of listed securities and initiated debentures are not traded at OTC. The original certificate will be safely with the custodian. But, a counter receipt is generated out at the counter which substitutes the share certificate and is used for all transactions.
In the case of permitted securities, the system is similar to a traditional stock exchange. The difference is that the delivery and payment procedure will be completed within 14 days.
Compared to the traditional Exchanges, OTC Exchange network has the following advantages:
OTCEI has widely dispersed trading mechanism across the country which provides greater liquidity and lesser risk of intermediary charges.
Greater transparency and accuracy of prices is obtained due to the screen-based scrip less trading.
Since the exact price of the transaction is shown on the computer screen, the investor gets to know the exact price at which s/he is trading.
Faster settlement and transfer process compared to other exchanges.
In the case of an OTC issue (new issue), the allotment procedure is completed in a month and trading commences after a month of the issue closure, whereas it takes a longer period for the same with respect to other exchanges.
Thus, with the superior trading mechanism coupled with information transparency investors are gradually becoming aware of the manifold advantages of the OTCEI.
Advantages of OTCEI :-
1. Greater liquidity and lesser risk of intermediary charges due to widely spread trading
mechanism across India,
2. The screen based scrip less trading ensures transparency and accuracy of prices,
3. faster settlement and transfer process as compared to other exchanges,
4. Shorter Allotment procedure ( in case of a new issue ) than other exchanges.
