Basics of Stock Markets
- Major Stock Exchanges in India: The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) are the two major stock exchanges in the country. In India’s equity market, the majority of share transaction is done here.
- Market Indexes: Nifty and Sensex are the two market indexes for the Indian equity market.
- SEBI: The Securities Exchange Board of India is the regulator for stock markets in the country.
- Demat Account: In this account the physical shares and securities that you have purchased are converted or dematerialised and kept in the electronic format.
- Trading Account: This account is used to purchase and sell shares& Securities in stock markets. When you have a Demat Account, and want to sell your shares, or purchase new securities, you need Trading Account.
- Types of Market
PRIMARY MARKET: To invest in primary share market, there are three entities involved. It would include a company, investors, and an underwriter. A company issues security in a primary market as an initial public offering (IPO), and the sale price of such new issue is determined by a concerned underwriter, which may or may not be a financial institution. It’s quite simple to apply for an IPO through your net banking account via a process that is known as Application supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA).Now a days you can also apply through UPI (unified payment interface) where you can receive money instantly using your existing bank account.
Once shares are allotted, they are listed on the stock exchanges, and you can begin trading with them.
SECONDARY MARKET: The secondary market is what is typically referred to as a stock market. This is the market where all the action among investors of buying and selling takes place.To invest in the secondary share market, you require a Demat account which should be linked to your Bank Account.
- Trade Settlement: Trade settlement is a two-way process which comes in the final stage of the transaction and involves transfer of funds and securities on the settlement date. Once the buyer receives the securities and the seller gets the payment for the same, the trade is said to be settled.
Whenever you buy or sell a stock, bond, exchange traded fund there are two important dates to understand: the transaction date ‘T’ and the settlement date. Earlier a stock trade could take as many as five business days (T+5) to settle a trade. Today, with the advances in technology and electronic trading, all stock trades settle in just two working days (T+2).
Once you aware of basics of stock market you should keep in mind that it’s crucial to be aware of one’s investment horizon and financial goals before you jump into stock market investing. Thus ask yourself the below questions before you start trading.
