PREFACEB.B.A. is a stepping stone to the management carrier and to develop good manager it is necessary that the theoretical must be supplemented with exposure to the real environment. Theoretical knowledge just provides the base and it is not sufficient to produce a good manager. Thats why practical knowledge is needed.Therefore the summer internship is an essential requirement for the student of B.B.A. This research project not only helps the student to utilize her skills properly learn field realities but also provides a chance to the organization to find out talent in the budding managers in the very beginning. In accordance with the requirement of my B.B.A. course I have done my summer training project on the topic EQUITY SHARE PRICE BEHAVIOUR. The main objective of the research was to analyze various factors effecting equity share price. The Indian capital market has witnessed a tremendous growth. There was an explosion of investors interest during the nineties and equity guilt emerged in statutory legislations has helped the capital market. Foreign exchange regulation act is one such legislation in this direction.My work in this project is therefore, a humble attempt towards this end. In spite of my best efforts there may be errors of omission and commissions, which may please be excused.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

An Introduction to insurance

What is insurance?Insurance is a contract between the insurance company (insurer) and the policyholder (insured). In return for a consideration (the premium), the insurance company promises to pay a specified amount to the insured on the happening of a specific event.

History of insurance sector in India

The history of insurance can be divided into three phase as follows: Phase I Pre-Liberalisation

Phase II - Liberalisation

Phase III Post Liberalisation

Phase I Pre- liberalization1818 1829: First insurance company; in 1818 the Oriental Life Insurance Company in Kolkata (then Calcutta) was the first company to start a life insurance business in India. However, the company failed in 1834. In 1829 the Madras Equitable had begun transacting life insurance business in Madras Presidency.1870: Following the enactment of British Insurance Act 1870, the last three decades of the nineteenth century saw the creation of the Bombay Mutual (1871), Oriental (1874) and empire of India (1897) in the Bombay Residency.1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act 1912 was the first statutory measure to regulate life business.1928: The Indian Insurance Companies Act1928 gave the government the power to collect statistical information about both life and non life business transacted in India by Indian and foreign insurer, including provident insurance societies.1938: To protect the interest of the insuring public, the earlier legislation was consolidated and amended by The Insurance act 1938 which gave the government effective control over the activities of insurers.1950s: In the 1950s, competition in the insurance business was very high and there were allegations of unfair trade practices. The Government of India therefore decided to nationalize insurance business.1957: Formation of The General Insurance Council (GI Council).1972: The General Insurance Business Act 1972(GIBNA) was passed under section 9(1). Phase II Liberalization1993: Malhotra Committee: in 1993 the government set up a committee under the chairmanship of R .N. Malhotra, the former Governor of RBI, to make recommendation for the reform of the insurance sector. In its report 1994, the committee recommended, among other thing, that the private sector and foreign companies be permitted to enter the insurance industry.1999: Formation of the IRDA, the insurance regulatory and development authority to regulate and develop insurance industry. The IRDA was incorporated as a statutory body in April 2000.

Phase III Post- liberalizationGeneral Insurance Business (nationalization) Amendment Act 2002, effective from 21 march 2003, GIC ceased to be a holding company of its four subsidiaries. GIC was notified as a reinsurance company. And also, various amendments were taken place.

Type of Insurance OrganizationInsurance organization are divided into three main categories. Life insurance

Non - life insurance

Reinsurance

Life Insurance companiesLife insurance companies cover risk that relate to human lives. They offer different benefits under different types of product and cover the risk of early death, as well as the risk of living into old age. Under traditional plans, like term insurance plan, insurance companies provide death cover. If the insured person dies within the term of policy then the nominee / beneficiary is paid a specified amount (also known as the sum assured). Non-life Insurance companiesNon-life insurance companies generally cover risk other than those relating to humans lives. The exceptions are personal accident and health insurance, which are provided by Non-life insurance companies. Any asset either giver monetary return (e.g. a house given on rent),or offer convenience(e.g. a car which can be used to travel from one place to another) can be insured. ReinsuranceA reinsurer is an insurer for the insurance company as per section A2.

Formation of Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI)The Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) was established in 1964 under an Act of Parliament as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India. In 1976, the ownership of IDBI was transferred to the Government of India and it was made the principal financial institution for coordinating the activities of institutions engaged in financing, promoting and developing industry in India. IDBI provided financial assistance, both in rupee and foreign currencies, for green-field projects as also for expansion, modernization and diversification purposes. In the wake of financial sector reforms unveiled by the government since 1992, IDBI also provided indirect financial assistance by way of refinancing of loans extended by State-level financial institutions and banks and by way of rediscounting of bills of exchange arising out of sale of indigenous machinery on deferred payment terms.After the public issue of IDBI in July 1995, the Government shareholding in the Bank came down from 100% to 75%.IDBI played a pioneering role, particularly in the pre-reform era (196491), in catalyzing broad based industrial development in India in keeping with its Government-ordained development banking charter.Some of the institutions built with the support of IDBI are theSecurities and Exchange Board of India(SEBI),National Stock Exchange of India(NSE), theNational Securities Depository Limited(NSDL), theStock Holding Corporation of India Limited(SHCIL), theCredit Analysis & Research Ltd, theExim Bank (India), theSmall Industries Development Bank of India(SIDBI) and theEntrepreneurship Development Institute of India.
