What is ADR
Introduction
ADR - American Depository Receipts
Method to raise funds from American Markets.

How ADR Operates

Indian companies to adopt US Accounting

Norms which is also called as GAAP

maintain accounting practices as per

American Financial Year [From 1stJanuary to

31st December]
Also follow variety of stringent standards as

per American norms.

How ADR Operates

Cont.
One to comply with the laws of Indian

Companies Act, and the other to comply with

the American Laws.
The role of the American bank which has

issued these receipts is very crucial (imp),

since it is they who stand guarantee to the
issued receipts. Hence they do exhaustive
(overall) study of the Indian company from all
perspectives, and only then issue the ADR to
the Indian company.

What is GDR and how it

operates
The full form of GDR is Global Depository

Receipt.
It is not a different financial instrument, as it

may sound, from that of ADR. In fact if the

Indian Company which has issued GDRs in the
American market wishes to further extend it
to other developed and advanced countries
such as Europe, then they can sell these ADRs
to the public of Europe and the same would be
named as GDR.

Global depository receipt (GDR) is compulsory

for foreign company to access in any other

countrys share market for dealing in stock.

Indian companies prefer to get GDR due to its

global use for getting foreign investment for

own business projects.

Difference between ADR & GDR

Both ADR and GDR are depository receipts, and

represent a claim on the underlying shares. The only

difference is the location where they are traded.
If the depository receipt is traded in the United

States of America (USA), it is called an American

Depository Receipt, or an ADR.
If the depository receipt is traded in a country other

than USA, it is called a Global Depository Receipt, or

a GDR.

Difference between ADR &

GDR

Cont..

ADRs can get from level -I to level III. GDRs

are already equal to high preference receipt of

level II and level III.

ADRs up to level I need to accept only

general condition of SEC of USA but GDRs can

only be issued under rule 144 A after
accepting strict rules of SEC of USA .

Difference between ADR &

GDR

Cont..

GDR is negotiable instrument all over the

world but ADR is only negotiable in USA .

Even both GDR and ADR is the proxy way to

sell shares in foreign market by India

companies ADRs is not substitute of GDRs but
GDRs can use on the place of ADRs .
