Abstract

The function of financial market is to facilitate the transfer of funds, from surplus sector (lenders) to deficit sector (borrower). Normally householders have excess of funds or saving, which they lend to a borrower in the corporate and public sector. Whose requirement of funds far exceeds their savings? A financial market consists of investors or buyers, sellers, dealers and does not refer to physical location. Formal trading rules and communication network for originating and trading financial securities link the participants in the market. As elsewhere in the world, the Indian Financial System consists of the following.

The capital market provides the framework in which savings and investment take place. On one hand it enables companies to raise resources from the people, investor and on the other it facilities household to invest their savings in industrial and commercial activities. Those saving instruments that can be bought or sold freely are called securities. These include a range of products like debt and equity, which can be traded. The market where such trader takes place is called the securities market and comprises the various exchanges, intermediaries and its regulatory institutions.

Deals with the issues of new instruments by the corporate sector such as equity shares, preference shares and debentures. The public sector consisting of central and state government, various public sector industrial units (psu's), statutory and other authorities such state electricity boards and port trusts also issue bonds. The primary market in which public issues of securities are made through a prospectus is a retail market and there is no physical location. Direct mailing, advertisements and brokers reach the investors. Screen based trading eliminates the need for trading floor.
