ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I am indeed very happy to acknowledge the numerous personalities involved in

lending their help to make my summer project a successful one.
Firstly, I would like to thank Reliance Money Ltd. for providing me the
opportunity to work on this project.

I would like to thank my corporate guide Mr.Sudhansu Parida and all other staff of
Reliance Money for helping me in learning the lessons of professional
management. His able guidance and valuable inputs have helped me a lot in
successfully completing this project.

I express my sincere gratitude to my institute guide Dr.Sasmita Mishra who took a

lot of personal interest in supervising this project and guiding me. She has been a
great source of inspiration in the task of completion of this project work. Her
profound advice, timely guidance has been of immense value to me.

This acknowledgement would not be completed without extending my thanks to

my friends, who did their summer internship along with me at Reliance Money
Ltd, who helped me clear any doubts that arose during my internship and for
extending their support to me during my period of internship.

Introduction

Whether it’s retiring early, saving for children’s education,

paying off a loan or to live a secured and satisfied life everyone has
dreams they can achieve by investing their savings. However, the
question that arises is that, should one leave his money tucked away in
the bank or plough it into the stock market where the potential for
higher returns is greater but the chances of losing money is higher?
Deciding where to invest depends on one`s attitude towards risk (one`s
capacity to take risk and one`s tolerance towards risk) and the
investment horizon and non-availability of guaranteed-return
investment products. In such a scenario, investing in equity, which
offers returns that are higher than the inflation rate, help to build
wealth and to improve the standard of living.

India is a developing economy.its prospering in all

spheres. Share market is a compelling determinant of the economy and the
financial situation of a country.Ever since the liberalization,privatization and
globalization,the foreign investment in our country is booming. Share market is a
clear indicator of the developing trend prevailing in our country.Statistics reveal
that the trade volume has been increasing continuously,coupled with the ups and
downs which is a nature of share trading. We are living in an interlinked
world.with the growing volume of trade,it has become a necessity that people are
aware of the intricacies of the web world.

SENSEX the benchmark indicator of share trading has more than tripled ever since
on line share trading commenced.it has become imperative to be a participant of
this mode of trading.

Recently,the crisis in the financial market resulted in global inflation.the share

market was a clear indicator of the prevailing prices.

Share trading is a way of faster earning and losing money. In the recent years,a
volatile market could be witnessed. In the desire to earn money in a quick
manner,more and more people have ventured out into share trading. Lack of
awareness of many investors have made them loose lakhs of money in the stock
market. Wise plays by many others have made them earn in crores.

Where the American NASDAQ is in the commanding position,hongkong,Tokyo

etc are some of the asian exchanges being quoted repeatedly when it comes to
news about the share market. SENSEX is not far behind.indian bourses are also
often quoted.

Electronic trading or online trading eliminates the need for physical trading
floors.brokers can trade from their offices,using fully automated screen based
processes. Their workstations are connected to a stock exchange’s central computer
via satellite using Very Small Aperture Terminus(VSATs). The orders placed by
brokers reach the exchange’s central computer and are matched electronically.

Stock exchange

A stock exchange , share market or bourse is a corporation or mutual

organization which provides facilities for stock brokers and traders , to trade
company stocks and other securities .Stock exchanges also provide facilities
for the issue redemption, as well as, other financial instruments and capital
events including the payment of income and dividends . The securities traded on
a stock exchange include: shares issued by companies ,unit trusts and other pooled
investment products and bonds .To be able to trade a security on a certain stock
exchange, it has to be listed . Usually there is a central Location at least for
recordkeeping, but trade is less and less linked to such a physical place, as
modern markets are electronic networks, which gives them advantages of speed
and cost of transactions. Trade on an exchange is by definition done in the
primary market and subsequent trading is done in the secondary market. Supply
and demand in stock markets is driven by various factors which, as in free markets,
affect the price of stocks(see stock valuation).There is usually no compulsion to
issue stock via the stock exchange itself, nor must stock be subsequently traded
on the exchange. Such trading is said to be off exchange or over-the-counter.This
is the usually way that bonds are traded. Increasingly more and more stock
exchanges are part of a global market for securities.

A.] The role of the stock exchange

Raising capital for businessess

The stock exchange provides companies with the facility to raise capital for
expansion through selling shares to the investing public.

Mobilizing savings for investment

When people draw their savings and invest in shares, it leads to a more rational
allocation of resources because funds, which could have been consumed, or kept in
idle deposits with banks are mobilized and redirected to promote business
activity with benefits for several economic growth and higher productivity
levels.

Facilitate company growth

 Companies view acquisitions as an opportunity to expand product lines,
increase distribution channels, hedge against volatility, increase its market
share, or acquire other necessary business assets. A takeover bid or a merger
agreement through the stock market is one of the simplest and most common
ways to company growing by acquisition or fusion.

Redistribution of wealth

By giving a wide spectrum of people a chance to buy shares and therefore

become part-owners (shareholders) of profitable enterprises the stock market
helps to reduce large income inequalities .Both casual and professional stock
investors through stock price rise and dividends get achance to share in the profits
of promising business that were set up by other people.

Corporate governance-

By having a wide and varied scope of owners , companies generally tend to

improve on their management standards and efficiency in order to satisfy the
demands of these shareholders and the more stringent rules for public
corporations by public stock exchange and the government . Consequently , it is
alleged that public companies (companies that are owned by shareholders who are
members of the general public and trade shares on public exchange) tend to have
better management records than privately-held companies (those companies
where shares are not publicly traded ,often owned by the company founders and /
or their families and heirs , or otherwise by a small group of investors) . However
, some well-documented cases are known where it is alleged that their has been
considerable slippage in corporate governance on the part of some public
companies .

Creates investment opportunities for small investors

As opposed to their businesses that require huge capital outlay , investing in shares
is open to both the large and small stock investors because a person buys the
number of shares they can afford . Therefore the Stock Exchange provides an extra
source of income to small savers.

Government raises capital for development projects

Governments at various levels may decide to borrow money in order to finance

infrastructure projects such as sewage and water treatment works or housing
estates by selling another category of securities known as bonds .These bonds can
be raised through the Stock Exchange whereby members of the public buy them ,
thus loaning money to the government . The issuance of such municipal bonds can
obviate the need to directly tax the citizens in order to finance development ,
although by securing such bonds with the full faith and credit of the government
instead of with collateral , the result is that the government must tax the citizens or
otherwise raise additional funds to make any regular coupon payments and refund
the principal when the bonds mature.

Barometer of the economy

At the stock exchange , share prices rise and fall depending , largely , on market
forces. Share prices rise tend to rise or remain stable when companies and the
economy in general show signs of stability and growth .An economic recession ,
depression , or financial crisis could eventually lead to a stock market crash .
Therefore the movement of the general tend in the economy .The listing
requirements are the set of conditions imposed by a given stock exchange upon
companies that want to be listed on that exchange .Such conditions sometimes
include minimum number of shares outstanding , minimum market capitalization ,
and minimum annual income.

MY WORK AT RELIANCE MONEY

 At RELIANCE MONEY, initially we were imparted process and
product knowledge. We were given sufficient time to know about the
products and also about sales and distribution channel. We had to work
with the sales representatives of the Distributor and think of ways of
improving the sales and distribution channel and implementing them.
The main aim was to increase sales and for this different ways were
tried and implemented. We were provided with database and had to
make calls from the data. Company activity was also one of the major
sources for generating business. Initially they even accompanied sales
representatives to the clients place. Main objective was to know the
need of the customer and how to fulfill that in the best way.

The project dealt with various fields like:

1. Demat account
2. Mutual funds
3. Life insurance

This experience helped me to understand the basic functioning of the Reliance

Money as a Broking House and I came to know the products of Reliance Money.
The Training Sessions were held by different persons from different organization
like from TATA-AIG, ICICI PRUDENTIAL and BIRLA SUN LIFE. We were
assigned targets to sell the Life Insurance of TATA-AIG and ICICI
PRUDENTIAL, mutual fund of BIRLA SUN LIFE along with Demat A/c of
Reliance Money. The training for Life Insurance was conducted by Mr. Sibashish
Mohanty from Tata-Aig and Mr. Rakesh Kumar from ICICI PRUDENTIAL and
that of Mutual Funds was conducted by Mr. Rishabh Jain and Ashish Kumar of
Birla Sun Life. The training for De-mat was conducted by Mr. Sudhanshu Parida of
Reliance Money. These training gave me an insight into the products that Reliance
Money deals in. The best learning experience was that I started from the very
basics of getting to that position and not from the position itself. This helped me
get useful insight and understanding of various financial products, the market
details about them and the benefits provided by them to the customers.
Our task was divided in 4 phases:

1. Product knowledge: This included the theoretical knowledge about

the field and products which needed to be marketed.

2. Pitching in retail sector: This included the implementation of the

knowledge imparted to us and the test of our marketing skills. Initially
we were accompanied by other sales executive so that we can learn
how to deal with the customers and understand their need. This also
enhanced our interpersonal skills and confidence level.

3. Implementation in retail sector and pitching in corporate: By the

start of this phase we were confident enough about the pitching and
fulfilling the needs of the customer in the retail sector. This also
included of the ways we should pitch the corporate.

4. Implementation at corporate levels: This included the

implementation of the all the knowledge and ways learnt for the
pitching and extracting business out of the corporate.

With the end of 8 weeks every phase was completed and it gave
us the real experience of retail as well as corporate world.

Online trading refers to buying and selling of the

shares/stocks/contracts/bonds with the use of internet. In this shares
are not issued in physical form rather they are transferred in the
dematerialized form in the Demat account directly.

DEMAT ACCOUNT
In India, a Demat account, the abbreviation for dematerialized
account, is a type of banking account which dematerializes paper-
based physical stock shares. The dematerialized account is used to
avoid holding physical shares: the shares are bought and sold through
a broker. This account is popular in India. The Securities and
Exchange Board of India (SEBI) mandates a Demat account for share
trading above 500 shares. As of April 2006, it became mandatory that
any person holding a Demat account should posses a Permanent
Account Number (PAN), and the deadline for submission of PAN
details to the depository lapsed on January 2007.

What are the benefits of opening a Demat account?

Demat account has become a necessity for all categories of investors

for the following reasons/ benefits:

• SEBI has made it compulsory for trades in almost all scrip’s

to be settled in Demat mode. Although, trades up to 500 shares
can be settled in physical form, physical settlement is
virtually not taking place for the apprehension of bad delivery
 on account of mismatch of signatures, forgery of signatures,
fake certificates, etc.

• It is a safe and convenient way to hold securities compared to

holding securities in physical form..

• No stamp duty is levied on transfer of securities held in

Demat form.

• Instantaneous transfer of securities enhances liquidity.

• It eliminates delays, thefts, interceptions and subsequent

misuse of certificates.

• Change of name, address, registration of power of attorney,

deletion of deceased's name, etc. - can be effected across
companies by one single instruction to the DP.

• Each share is a market lot for the purpose of transactions - so

no odd lot problem.

Any number of securities can be transferred/delivered with one

delivery order. Therefore, paperwork and signing of multiple transfer
forms is done away with. It facilitates taking advances against
securities on low margin/low interest.

DEMAT ACCOUNT
There are many broking houses doing business in India and they
charge a brokerage on every transaction made online or offline.
(Buying and Selling are treated as separate transaction). Reliance
Money’s advantage over others is that it’s charging the lowest
brokerage in the market which is just 1 paisa on every executive trade
irrespective of the volume traded. Reliance Money, the brokerage and
distribution arm of Reliance ADA Group, aims to tap investors in the
smaller towns and cities through a flat fee structure. The current
leaders in the retail broking segment like ICICI Direct, India Infoline
and Indiabulls offer a ‘pay per use’ model where the customer pays a
percentage of the amount transacted by him. Reliance Money’s
brokerage rates are quite competitive.

The new wonder is Reliance Money's pre-paid card for stock

market brokerage. Reliance Money, the financial services division of
Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group-promoted Reliance Capital, is bringing
to the market pre-paid cards in denominations of Rs500, Rs1000,Rs
2500,Rs 5000,Rs 10000.

These cards would offer brokerage at one-third of the rate being

charged by institutional and individual brokerage houses. Sample this.
For a pre-paid card worth Rs500, an investor can trade up to Rs2 lakh
in both non delivery and delivery option.

The Rs1000 worth pre-paid card, total trading limit would reach
Rs 1 crore, of which Rs 90lakhs is for the non delivery segment and
Rs10 lakh for delivery-based activities.

For Rs2500 pre-paid card, total trading limit is fixed at Rs3

crore,of which Rs2.70crore is for the non delivery option and Rs 30
lakhs for delivery option.
 For the Rs 5000 pre-paid card, the total trading limit is Rs 7
crore,out of which Rs 6.30crore is for non delivery option and Rs 70
lakhs for delivery option.

For the Rs.10000 pre paid card,the total trading limit is Rs

20crore,out of which Rs 18 crore is for non delivery option and Rs 2
crore for delivery option.

Reliance Money offers most competitive brokerage rates - 0.01paise for

intraday trades and 0.05paise for delivery trades.

Target low level of retail penetration in India - less than 3 per

cent of household financing savings makes it into equity markets

Reliance Money consumers can trade in equities, commodities

and offshore Investments , IPO’s, Mutual Funds, Insurance, Money
transfer and Money Changing - all through single window, both off-
line and online.

Reliance Money has already tied-up with CMC Capital Plc UK to

offer offshore Investment products to Indian consumers as per
guidelines.

RESEARCH METHEDOLOGY

Objective of research;
 • The main objective of this project is concerned with getting the opinion of
people regarding demat account, Mutual Funds, Life Insurance and other
financial products, to target them and create awareness while with the
generation of leads.

• I have tried to explore the general opinion about the products and services
provided by Reliance Money.It also covers why/ why not investors are
availing the services of financial advisors.

• Along with it a brief introduction to India’s largest financial intermediary,

RELIANCE MONEY has been given and it is shown that what are demat
a/c, mutual funds and life insurance and how they work.

Scope of the study:

The research was carried out in Cuttack city only. I have visited people randomly
nearby my locality, different shopping malls, small retailers etc.

Data sources:

Research is totally based on primary data. Secondary data can be used only for the

reference. Research has been done by primary data collection, and primary data
has been collected by interacting with various people. The secondary data has been
collected through various journals and websites and some special publications of
R-MONEY.
Sampling:

Sampling procedure:

The sample is selected in a random way, irrespective of them being investor or not
or availing the services or not. It was collected through mails and personal visits to
the known persons, by formal and informal talks and through filling up the
questionnaire prepared.

Sample size:

The sample size of my project is limited to 100 only.

Sample design:

Data has been presented with the help of pie charts.

1. Preference of Investment

Fig.1 Result of Preference of

Investment
 Interpretation: This shows that although the mutual funds market is on
the rise yet, the most favored investment continues to be in the Share Market. So,
with a more transparent system, investment in the Stock Market can definitely be
increased.

2. Awareness on Online Share Trading

Fig. 2 Result of Awareness of Online Share Trading

Interpretation: With the increase in cyber education, the awareness towards

online share trading has increased by leaps and bounds. This awareness is expected
to increase further with the increase in Internet education.

3. Preference of investing in stock market

INTERPRETATION: The study shows that most of the people prefer to invest in
stock market because of high risk and high return whereas some other try to
capture the short term gain from investment. But a very few section of people
invest because of the benefits they gain in tax.

4. Awareness of Reliance Money as a Brand

Fig.3 Result of Awareness of Reliance money

as a Brand
 Interpretation: This pie-chart shows that reliance money has a reasonable
amount of Brand awareness in terms of a premier Retail stock broking company.
This brand image should be further leveraged by the company to increase its
market share over its competitors.

5. Awareness of Reliance Money Facilities

Fig .4 Result of Awareness of Reliance money

Facilities

Interpretation: Although there is sufficiently high brand equity among the

target audience yet, it is to be noted that the customers are not aware of the
facilities provided by the company meaning thereby, that, the company should
concentrate more towards promotional tools and increase its focus on product
awareness rather than brand awareness.
5. Customers having Demat account in companies

Fig7.5 Result of satisfaction level among customers with current

Interpretation: This pie-chart corroborate the fact that Strategic

marketing, today, has gone beyond only meeting Sales targets and generating profit
volumes. It shows that all the competitors are striving hard not only to woo the
customers but also to make them Brand loyal by generating customer satisfaction.
8. Frequency of Trading
 Fig7.6 Result of Frequency of Trading

Interpretation: Inspite of the huge returns that the share market promises,
we see that there is still a dearth of active traders and investors. This is because of
the non – transparent structure of the Indian share market and the skepticism of the
target audience that is generated by the volatility of the stock market. It requires
efficient bureaucratic intervention on the part of the Government.

9.Percentage of earnings invested in Share Trading

Fig7.7 Result of percentage of earning invested in

share trading

Interpretation: This shows that people invest only upto 10% of their
earnings in the stock market, again reiterating the volatile and non-transparent
structure of the Indian stock market. Hence, effective and efficient steps should be
undertaken to woo the customers to invest more in the lucrative stock market

people during trading is the information related problem i.e, they
don’t get the required information about trading either online or
offline.Whereas some other problems are also there like network
problem,inmanual operating problem and service provider
problem.

conscious and variety seeker. It suggests that the customer are ready to invest
money in equity and commodity market which is more risky than mutual fund.

RECOMMENDATION

The most vital problem spotted is of ignorance. Investors should be made aware of
the benefits. Nobody will invest until and unless he is fully convinced. Investors
should be made to realize that ignorance is no longer bliss and what they are losing
by not investing.

• After sales services and follow up calls are important for getting new
references so trained telesales should be appointed for this purpose whose sole
work should be to make feedback calls.
• Reliance is having too many financial products right from Demat account to
General Insurance and not all the salespeople are familiar with each and every
product so the work force should be segregated each group dealing in a
specific product and the sales target should be given likewise.

• While interacting with the investors I found that most of the customers are
unaware about the Mutual fund. Some of the people look upon mutual funds
and equity trading as gambling. Thus a mutual fund awareness program can
help to increase the penetration of mutual funds in the market.

• Reliance should declare in black ink that they will charge just 1 paisa per
transaction. People tend to think that there must be some hidden charges.

• Rs750 account opening charges are too high when targeting a corporate so the
company should be flexible on this amount.

• Reliance should provide periodic training for updating the product knowledge
of various financial advisors.

• Company should have a scheme of rewards and recognition to employees and

the field persons to boost their motivation.
• There must be proper advertisement of the company by various media like
Exhibition, Press releases, Newspaper, and Television etc.
• There should be a good research team who has to survey the market and know
about the client’s satisfaction level and also found out the potential customer.
• There must be a good infrastructure of the company to get the attention of the
public and the office should be at residential area so that customer get the
service easily.
 • Though majority of the customer were satisfied with the existing function but
the organization should use some marketing strategies such as discount
scheme on amount of transaction made in a month by the regular customer. So
it will enable the customer to retain in the organization and to attract new
customer.
• There should be regular training programme like Workshops, Seminars, and
Meetings etc. for the sake of development of the organization and also for the
development of the employees’ performance simultaneously.
Limitations:

The project has been subject to the following limitations:

 The study was restricted to Reliance Money Limited to only in Cuttack

district.
 The study is conducted with the data available and the analysis was made
accordingly.
 It was tough to get all relevant facts from the personnel and employees
concerned due to some secret document not provided by the business
organization, which is inherent in an industry.
 Time factor was a limitation as only a stipulated period had been ascertained
to me while the personnel had little time to my queries due to their daily
busy schedule.
 It is not feasible to compare all the products of various brokerage firm.
