INTRODUCTION
India is a developing country. Nowadays many people are interested to invest in financial
markets especially on equities to get high returns, and to save tax in honest way. Equities are playing a
major role in contribution of capital to the business from the beginning. Since the introduction of shares
concept, large numbers of investors are showing interest to invest in stock market.
In an industry plagued with skepticism and a stock market increasingly difficult to predict and
contend with, if one looks hard enough there may still be a genuine aid for the Day Trader and Short
Term Investor.
The price of a security represents a consensus. It is the price at which one person agrees to buy
and another agrees to sell. The price at which an investor is willing to buy or sell depends primarily on
his expectations. If he expects the security's price to rise, he will buy it; if the investor expects the price
to fall, he will sell it. These simple statements are the cause of a major challenge in forecasting security
prices, because they refer to human expectations. As we all know firsthand, humans expectations are
neither easily quantifiable nor predictable. If prices are based on investor expectations, then knowing
what a security should sell for (i.e., fundamental analysis) becomes less important than knowing what
other investors expect it to sell for. That's not to say that knowing what a security should sell for isn't
important--it is. But there is usually a fairly strong consensus of a stock's future earnings that the
average investor cannot disprove
Fundamental analysis and technical analysis can co-exist in peace and complement each other. Since all
the investors in the stock market want to make the maximum profits possible, they just cannot afford to
ignore either fundamental or technical analysis.

NEED OF THE STUDY
To start any business capital plays major role. Capital can be acquired in two ways by issuing
shares or by taking debt from financial institutions or borrowing money from financial
institutions. The owners of the company have to pay regular interest and principal amount at the
end.
Stock is ownership in a company, with each share of stock representing a tiny piece of
ownership. The more shares you own, the more of the company you own. The more shares you
own, the more dividends you earn when the company makes a profit. In the financial world,
ownership is called Equity.
Advantages of selling stock:
A company can raise more capital than it could borrow.
A company does not have to make periodic interest payments to creditors.
A company does not have to make principal payments
Stock/shares play a major role in acquiring capital to the business in return investors are paid
dividends to the shares they own. The more shares you own the more dividends you receive.
The role of equity analysis is to provide information to the market. An efficient market relies on
information: a lack of information creates inefficiencies that result in stocks being misrepresented (over
or under valued). This is valuable because it fills information gaps so that each individual investor does
not need to analyze every stock thereby making the markets more efficient.

METHODOLOGY
Research design or research methodology is the procedure of collecting, analyzing and
interpreting the data to diagnose the problem and react to the opportunity in such a way where the costs
can be minimized and the desired level of accuracy can be achieved to arrive at a particular conclusion.
The methodology used in the study for the completion of the project and the fulfillment of the project
objectives.
The sample of the stocks for the purpose of collecting secondary data has been selected on the
basis of Random Sampling. The stocks are chosen in an unbiased manner and each stock is chosen
independent of the other stocks chosen. The stocks are chosen from the automobile sector.
The sample size for the number of stocks is taken as 3 for fundamental analysis of stocks as
fundamental analysis is very exhaustive and requires detailed study.

WHATS THIS EQUITY ANALYSIS?
Professional investor will make more money & less loss than, who let their heart rule. Their head
eliminate all emotions for decision making. Be ruthless & calculating, you are out to make money.
Decision should be based on actual movement of share price measured both in money & percentage
term & nothing else. Greed must be avoided patience may be a virtue, but impatience can frequently be
profitable.
In Equity Analysis anticipated growth, calculations are based on considered FACTS & not on
HOPE. Equity analysis is basically a combination of two independent analyses, namely fundamental
analysis & Technical analysis. The subject of Equity analysis, i.e. the attempt to determine future share
price movement & its reliability by references to historical data is a vast one, covering many aspect from
the calculating various FINANCIAL RATIOS, plotting of CHARTS to extremely sophisticated
indicators.
A general investor can apply the principles by using the simplest of tools: pocket calculator,
pencil, ruler, chart paper & your cautious mind, watchful attention. It should be pointed out that, this
equity analysis does not discuss how to buy & sell shares, but does discuss a method which enables the
investor to arrive at buying & selling decision. The financial analysts always need yardsticks to evaluate
the efficiency & performances of any business unit at the time of investment. Fundamental analysis is
useful in long term investment decision. In Fundamental analysis a companys goodwill, its
performances, liquidity, leverage, turnover, profitability & financial health was checked & analysis with
the help of ratio analysis for the purpose of long term successful investment.
Technical analysis refers to the study of market generated data like prices & volume to determine
the future direction of prices movements.
Technical analysis mainly seeks to predict the short term price travels. The focus of technical
analysis is mainly on the internal market data, i.e. prices & volume data. It appeals mainly to short termtraders.
It is the oldest approach to equity investment dating back to the late 19th century.

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
Fundamental analysis is a method of forecasting the future price movements of a financial
instrument based on economic, political, environmental and other relevant factors and statistics that willaffect the basic supply and demand of whatever underlies the financial instrument. It is the study of
economic, industry and company conditions in an effort to determine the value of a companys stock.
Fundamental analysis typically focuses on key statistics in companys financial statements to determine
if the stock price is correctly valued. The term simply refers to the analysis of the economic well-being
of a financial entity as opposed to only its price movements.
Fundamental analysis is the cornerstone of investing. The basic philosophy underlying the
fundamental analysis is that if an investor invests re.1 in buying a share of a company, how much
expected returns from this investment he has.
The fundamental analysis is to appraise the intrinsic value of a security. It insists that no one
should purchase or sell a share on the basis of tips and rumors. The fundamental approach calls upon the
investors to make his buy or sell decision on the basis of a detailed analysis of the information about the
company, about the industry, and the economy. It is also known as top -down approach. This approach
attempts to study the economic scenario, industry position and the company expectations and is also
known as economic-industry-company approach (EIC approach)
Thus the EIC approach involves three steps:
1. Economic analysis
2. Industry analysis
3. Company analysis

1. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
The level of economic activity has an impact on investment in many ways. If the economy grows
rapidly, the industry can also be expected to show rapid growth and vice versa. When the level of
economic activity is low, stock prices are low, and when the level of economic activity is high, stock
prices are high reflecting the prosperous outlook for sales and profits of the firms. The analysis of macro
economic environment is essential to understand the behavior of the stock prices.
The commonly analyzed macro economic factors are as follows:
Gross Domestic Product (GDP): GDP indicates the rate of growth of the economy. It represents the
aggregate value of the goods and services produced in the economy. It consists of personal consumption
expenditure, gross private domestic investment and government expenditure on goods and services and
net exports of goods and services. The growth rate of economy points out the prospects for the industrial
sector and the return investors can expect from investment in shares. The higher growth rate is more
favorable to the stock market.

Savings and investment: It is obvious that growth requires investment which in turn requires
substantial amount of domestic savings. Stock market is a channel through which the savings are made
available to the corporate bodies. Savings are distributed over various assets like equity shares, deposits,
mutual funds, real estate and bullion. The savings and investment patterns of the public affectthe stock
to a great extent.
Inflation: Along with the growth of GDP, if the inflation rate also increases, then the real growth would
be very little. The effects of inflation on capital markets are numerous. An increase in the expected rate
of inflation is expected to cause a nominal rise in interest rates. Also, it increases uncertainty of future
business and investment decisions. As inflation increases, it results in extra costs to businesses, thereby
squeezing their profit margins and leading to real declines in profitability.
Interest rates: The interest rate affects the cost of financing to the firms. A decrease in interest rate
implies lower cost of finance for firms and more profitability. More money is available at a lower
interest rate for the brokers who are doing business with borrowed money. Availability of cheap funds
encourages speculation and rise in the price of shares.
Tax structure: Every year in March, the business community eagerly awaits the Governments
announcement regarding the tax policy. Concessions and incentives given to a certain industry
encourage investment in that particular industry. Tax reliefs given to savings encourage sav ings. The
type of tax exemption has impact on the profitability of the industries.
Infrastructure facilities: Infrastructure facilities are essential for the growth of industrial and
agricultural sector. A wide network of communication system is a must for the growth of the economy.
Regular supply of power without any power cut would boost the production. Banking and financial
sectors also should be sound enough to provide adequate support to the industry. Good infrastructure
facilities affect the stock market favorably.

2.INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
An industry is a group of firms that have similar technological structure of production and
produce similar products and Industry analysis is a type of business research that focuses on the status ofan industry or an industrial sector (a broad industry classification, like "manufacturing"). Irrespective of
specific economic situations, some industries might be expected to perform better, and share prices in
these industries may not decline as much as in other industries. This identification of economic and
industry specific factors influencing share prices will help investors to identify the shares that fit
individual expectations
Industry Life Cycle: The industry life cycle theory is generally attributed to Julius Grodensky. The life
cycle of the industry is separated into four well defined stages.
Pioneering stage: The prospective demand for the product is promising in this stage and the
technology of the product is low. The demand for the product attracts many producers to produce
the particular product. There would be severe competition and only fittest companies survive this
stage. The producers try to develop brand name, differentiate the product and create a product
image. In this situation, it is difficult to select companies for investment because the survival rate
is unknown.
Rapid growth stage: This stage starts with the appearance of surviving firms from the pioneering
stage. The companies that have withstood the competition grow strongly in market share and
financial performance. The technology of the production would have improved resulting in low
cost of production and good quality products. The companies have stable growth rate in this
stage and they declare dividend to the shareholders. It is advisable to invest in the shares of these
companies.
Maturity and stabilization stage: the growth rate tends to moderate and the rate of growth would
be more or less equal to the industrial growth rate or the gross domestic product growth rate.Symptoms of obsolescence may appear in the technology. To keep going, technological innova-
tions in the production process and products should be introduced. The investors have to closely
monitor the events that take place in the maturity stage of the industry.
7/31/2019 Equity Analysis of Karvy
16/90
Decline stage: demand for the particular product and the earnings of the companies in the
industry decline. It is better to avoid investing in the shares of the low growth industry even in
the boom period. Investment in the shares of these types of companies leads to erosion of capital.
Growth of the industry: The historical performance of the industry in terms of growth and profitability
should be analyzed. The past variability in return and growth in reaction to macro economic factors
provide an insight into the future.
Nature of competition: Nature of competition is an essential factor that determines the demand for the
particular product, its profitability and the price of the concerned company scrips. The companies' ability
to withstand the local as well as the multinational competition counts much. If too many firms are
present in the organized sector, the competition would be severe. The competition would lead to a
decline in the price of the product. The investor before investing in the scrip of a company should
analyze the market share of the particular company's product and should compare it with the top five
companies.
SWOT analysis: SWOT analysis represents the strength, weakness, opportunity and threat for an
industry. Every investor should carry out a SWOT analysis for the chosen industry. Take for instance,
increase in demand for the industrys product becomes its strength, presence of numerous players in themarket, i.e. competition becomes the threat to a particular company. The progress in R & D in that
industry is an opportunity and entry of multinationals in the industry is a threat. In this way the factors
are to be arranged and analyzed.

3. COMPANY ANALYSIS
In the company analysis the investor assimilates the several bits of information related to the
company and evaluates the present and future values of the stock. The risk and return associated with thepurchase of the stock is analyzed to take better investment decisions. The present and future values are
affected by a number of factors.
Competitive edge of the company: Major industries in India are composed of hundreds of individual
companies. Though the number of companies is large, only few companies control the major market
share. The competitiveness of the company can be studied with the help of the following;
Market share: The market share of the annual sales helps to determine a companys relative
competitive position within the industry. If the market share is high, the company would be able
to meet the competition successfully. The companies in the market should be compared with like
product groups otherwise, the results will be misleading.
Growth of sales: The rapid growth in sales would keep the shareholder in a better position than
one with stagnant growth rate. Investors generally prefer size and growth in sales because the
larger size companies may be able to withstand the business cycle rather than the company of
smaller size.
Stability of sales: If a firm has stable sales revenue, it will have more stable earnings. The fall in
the market share indicates the declining trend of company, even if the sales are stable. Hence the
stability of sales should be compared with its market share and the competitors market share.
Earnings of the company: Sales alone do not increase the earnings but the costs and expenses of the
company also influence the earnings. Further, earnings do not always increase with increase in sales.
The companys sales might have increased but its earnings per share may decline due to rise in costs.
Hence, the investor should not only depend on the sales, but should analyze the earnings of thecompany.
7/31/2019 Equity Analysis of Karvy

Financial analysis: The best source of financial information about a company is its own financial
statements. This is a primary source of information for evaluating the investment prospects in the
particular companys stock. Financial statement analysis is the study of a companys financial statement
from various viewpoints. The statement gives the historical and current information about the
companys operations. Historical financial statement helps to predict the future and the current
information aids to analyze the present status of the company. The two main statements used in the
analysis are Balance sheet and Profit and Loss Account.
The balance sheet is one of the financial statements that companies prepare every year for their share-
holders. It is like a financial snapshot, the company's financial situation at a moment in time. It is
prepared at the year end, listing the company's current assets and liabilities. It helps to study the capital
structure of the company. It is better for the investor to avoid a company with excessive debt component
in its capital structure.
From the balance sheet, liquidity position of the company can also be assessed with the information on
current assets and current liabilities.
Ratio analysis: Ratio is a relationship between two figures expressed mathematically. Financial ratios
provide numerical relationship between two relevant financial data. Financial ratios are calculated from
the balance sheet and profit and loss account. The relationship can be either expressed as a percent or as
a quotient. Ratios summarize the data for easy understanding, comparison and interpretations.
Ratios for investment purposes can be classified into profitability ratios, turnover ratios, and leverage
ratios. Profitability ratios are the most popular ratios since investors prefer to measure the present profit
performance and use this information to forecast the future strength of the company. The most often
used profitability ratios are return on assets, price earnings multiplier, price to book value, price to cash
flow, and price to sales, dividend yield, return on equity, present value of cash flows, and profit margins.
7/31/2019 Equity Analysis of Karvy

a) Return on Assets (ROA)
ROA is computed as the product of the net profit margin and the total asset turnover ratios.
ROA = (Net Profit/Total income) x (Total income/Total Assets)
This ratio indicates the firm's strategic success. Companies can have one of two strategies: cost
leadership, or product differentiation. ROA should be rising or keeping pace with the company's
competitors if the company is successfully pursuing either of these strategies, but how ROA rises will
depend on the company's strategy. ROA should rise with a successful cost leadership strategy because
the companys increasing operating efficiency. An example is an increasing, total asset, turnover ratio as
the company expands into new markets, increasing its market share. The company may achieve
leadership by using its assets more efficiently. With a successful product differentiation strategy, ROA
will rise because of a rising profit margin.
b) Return on Investment (ROI)
ROI is the return on capital invested in business, i.e., if an investment Rs 1 crore in men,
machines, land and material is made to generate Rs. 25 lakhs of net profit, then the ROI is 25%. The
computation of return on investment is as follows:
Return on Investment (ROI) = (Net profit/Equity investments) x 100
As this ratio reveals how well the resources of a firm are being used, higher the ratio, better are
the results. The return on shareholders investment should be compared with the return of other si milar
firms in the same industry. The inert-firm comparison of this ratio determines whether the investments
in the firm are attractive or not as the investors would like to invest only where the return is higher.
c) Return on Equity
Return on equity measures how much an equity shareholder's investment is actually earning. The
return on equity tells the investor how much the invested rupee is earning
from the company. The higher the number, the better is the performance of the company and suggests
the usefulness of the projects the company has invested in.
The computation of return on equity is as follows:
7/31/2019 Equity Analysis of Karvy
20/90
Return on equity = (Net profit to owners/value of the specific owner's
Contribution to the business) x 100
The ratio is more meaningful to the equity shareholders who are invested to know profits earned
by the company and those profits which can be made available to pay dividend to them.
d) Earnings per Share (EPS)
This ratio determines what the company is earning for every share. For many investors, earnings
are the most important tool. EPS is calculated by dividing the earnings (net profit) by the total number of
equity shares.
The computation of EPS is as follows:
Earnings per share = Net profit/Number of shares outstanding
The EPS is a good measure of profitability and when compared with EPS of similar other companies, it
gives a view of the comparative earnings or earnings power of a firm. EPS calculated for a number of
years indicates whether or not earning power of the company has increased.
e) Dividend per Share (DPS)
The extent of payment of dividend to the shareholders is measured in the form of dividend per
share. The dividend per share gives the amount of cash flow from the company to the owners and is
calculated as follows:
Dividend per share = Total dividend payment / Number of shares outstanding
The payment of dividend can have several interpretations to the shareholder. The distribution of
dividend could be thought of as the distribution of excess profits/abnormal profits by the company. On
the other hand, it could also be negatively interpreted as lack of investment opportunities. In all,
dividend payout gives the extent of inflows to the shareholders from the company.
7/31/2019 Equity Analysis of Karvy
21/90
f) Dividend Payout Ratio
From the profits of each company a cash flow called dividend is distributed among its
shareholders. This is the continuous stream of cash flow to the owners of shares, apart from the price
differentials (capital gains) in the market. The return to the shareholders, in the form of dividend, out of
the company's profit is measured through the payout ratio. The payout ratio is computed as follows:
Payout Ratio = (Dividend per share / Earnings per share) * 100
The percentage of payout ratio can also be used to compute the percentage of retained earnings.
The profits available for distribution are either paid as dividends or retained internally for business
growth opportunities. Hence, when dividends are not declared, the entire profit is ploughed back into the
business for its future investments.
g) Dividend Yield
Dividend yield is computed by relating the dividend per share to the market price of the share. The
market place provides opportunities for the investor to buy the company's share at any point of time. The
price at which the share has been bought from the market is the actual cost of the investment to the
shareholder. The market price is to be taken as the cum-dividend price. Dividend yield relates the actual
cost to the cash flows received from the company. The computation of dividend yield is as follows:
Dividend yield = (Dividend per share / Market price per share) * 100
High dividend yield ratios are usually interpreted as undervalued companies in the market. The market
price is a measure of future discounted values, while the dividend per share is the present return from the
investment. Hence, a high dividend yield implies that the share has been under priced in the market. On
the other hand a low dividend yield need not be interpreted as overvaluation of shares. A company that
does not pay out dividends will not have a dividend yield and the real measure of the market price will
be in terms of earnings per share and not through the dividend payments.
7/31/2019 Equity Analysis of Karvy
22/90
h) Price/Earnings Ratio (P/E)
The P/E multiplier or the price earnings ratio relates the current market price of the share to the
earnings per share. This is computed as follows:
Price/earnings ratio = Current market price / Earnings per share
This ratio is calculated to make an estimate of appreciation in the value of a share of a company
and is widely used by investors to decide whether or not to buy shares in a particular company. Many
investors prefer to buy the company's shares at a low P/E ratio since the general interpretation is that the
market is undervaluing the share and there will be a correction in the market price sooner or later. A
very high P/E ratio on the other hand implies that the company's shares are overvalued and the investor
can benefit by selling the shares at this high market price.
i) Debt-to-Equity Ratio
Debt-Equity ratio is used to measure the claims of outsiders and the owners against the firms
assets.
Debt-to-equity ratio = Outsiders Funds / Shareholders Funds
The debt-equity ratio is calculated to measure the extent to which debt financing has been used in
a business. It indicates the proportionate claims of owners and the outsiders against the firms assets.
The purpose is to get an idea of the cushion available to outsiders on the liquidation of the firm.
Technical analysis:-
Technical analysis refers to the study of market generated data like prices & volume to
determine the future direction of prices movements.
Technical analysis mainly seeks to predict the short term price travels. It is important criteria for
selecting the company to invest. It also provides the base for decision-making in investment. The one of
the most frequently used yardstick to check & analyze underlying price progress. For that matter a verity
of tools was consider.
This Technical analysis is helpful to general investor in many ways. It provides important & vitalinformation regarding the current price position of the company.
Technical analysis involves the use of various methods for charting, calculating & interpreting
graph & chart to assess the performances & status of the price. It is the tool of financial analysis, which
not only studies but also reflecting the numerical & graphical relationship between the important
financial factors.
7/31/2019 Equity Analysis of Karvy
23/90
The focus of technical analysis is mainly on the internal market data, i.e. prices & volume data. It
appeals mainly to short term traders. It is the oldest approach to equity investment dating back to the late
19th century.
It uses charts and computer programs to study the stocks trading volume and price movements
in the hope of identifying a trend.
In fact the decision made on the basis of technical analysis is done only
after inferring a trend and judging the future movement of the stock on
the basis of the trend. Technical Analysis assumes that the market is efficient and the price has already
taken into consideration the other factors related to the company and the industry. It is because of this
assumption that many think technical analysis is a tool, which is effective for short-term investing.

SECONDARY MARKET
The primary market deals with the new issues of securities. Outstanding securities are traded
in the secondary market, which is commonly known as stock market or stock exchange. The
secondary market is a market where scrips are traded. It is a market place which provides liquidity

primary market. More the number of companies entering the primary market, the greater are the
volume of trade at the secondary market. Trading activities in the secondary market are done through
the recognized stock exchanges which are 23 in number including Over The Counter Exchange of
India (OTCE), National Stock Exchange of India and Interconnected Stock Exchange of India.
Secondary market operations involve buying and selling of securities on the stock exchange

one or more stock exchanges in India. Listing of scrips provides liquidity and offers an opportunity
to the investors to buy or sell the scrips.
The following are the intermediaries in the secondary market:
1. Broker/member of stock exchangebuyers broker and sellers broker

The only stock exchanges operating in the 19th century were those of Mumbai setup in 1875
and Ahmedabad set up in 1894. These were organized as voluntary non-profit-marking associations
of brokers to regulate and protect their interests. Before the control on securities under the
constitution in 1950, it was a state subject and the Bombay securities contracts (control) act of 1925
used to regulate trading in securities. Under this act, the Mumbai stock exchange was recognized in
1927 and Ahmedabad in 1937. During the war boom, a number of stock exchanges were organized.
Soon after it became a central subject, central legislation was proposed and a committee headed by
A.D.Gorwala went into the bill for securities regulation. On the basis of the committees
recommendations and public discussion, the securities contract (regulation) act became law in 1956.

Functions of Stock Exchanges:
Stock exchanges provide liquidity to the listed companies. By giving quotations to the listed
companies, they help trading and raise funds from the market. Over the hundred and twenty years
during which the stock exchanges have existed in this country and through their medium, the central
and state government have raised crores of rupees by floating public loans. Municipal corporations,
trust and local bodies have obtained from the public their financial requirements, and industry, trade
and commerce- the backbone of the countrys economy-have secured capital of crores or rupees
through the issue of stocks, shares and debentures for financing their day-to-day activities,
organizing new ventures and completing projects of expansion, diversification and modernization.
By obtaining the listing and trading facilities, public investment is increased and companies were
able to raise more funds. The quoted companies with wide public interest have enjoyed some
benefits and assets
valuation has become easier for tax and other purposes.
The major stock exchanges are:
NSE(National Stock Exchange):
The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the report of the High Powered
Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges, which recommended promotion of a
National Stock Exchange by financial institutions (FIs) to provide access to investors from all
across the country on an equal footing. Based on the recommendations, NSE was promoted by
leading Financial Institutions at the behest of the Government of India and was incorporated in
November 1992 as a tax-paying company unlike other stock exchanges in the country. On its
recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 in April 1993,
NSE commenced operations in the Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment in June 1994. The
Capital Market (Equities) segment commenced operations in November 1994 and operations in

facilitator. It's that force which is guiding the industry towards new horizons and greater
opportunities.

in 1956 from the Govt. of India under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act 1956.The Exchange,
while providing an efficient and transparent market for trading in securities, debt and derivatives

Buying and selling shares:
To buy and sell the shares the investor has to locate register broker or sub broker who render
prompt and efficient service to him. The order to buy or sell specifying the number of shares of the
company of investors choice is placed with the broker. The order may be of any type. After
receiving the order the broker tries to execute the order in his computer terminal. Once matching
order is found, the order is executed. The broker then delivers the contract note to the investor. It
gives the details regarding the name of the company, number of shares bought, price, brokerage, and
the date of delivery of share. In this physical trading form, once the broker gets the share certificate
through the clearing houses he delivers the share certificate along with transfer deed to the investor.
The investor has to fill the transfer deed and stamp it. The stamp duty is one of the percentage
considerations, the investor should lodge the share certificate and transfer deed to the register or
transfer agent of the company. If it is bought in the DEMAT form, the broker has to give a matching
instruction to his depository participant to transfer shares bought to the investors account. The
investor should be account holder in any of the depository participant. In the case of sale of shares
on receiving payment from the purchasing broker, the broker effects the payment to the investor.
Share groups:
The scrips traded on the BSE have been classified into A,B1,B2,C,F and Z groups. The
A group represents those, which are in the carry forward system. The F group represents the debt
market segment (fixed income securities). The Z group scrips are of the blacklisted companies. The
C group covers the odd lot securities in A, B1&B2 groups.
ROLLING SETTLEMENT SYSTEM:
Under rolling settlement system, the settlement takes place n days (usually 1, 2, 3 or 5days)
after the trading day. The shares bought and sold are paid in for n days after the trading day of the
particular transaction. Share settlement is likely to be completed much sooner after the transaction
than under the fixed settlement system.
The rolling settlement system is noted by T+N i.e. the settlement period is n days after the trading
day. A rolling period which offers a large number of days negates the advantages of the system.
Generally longer settlement periods are shortened gradually.
