Have you counted the number of
times newspaper headlines in the past
few weeks have been discussing the
SENSEX? It goes up and down all the
time and seems to be a very important
part of business and economic news.
Has that made you wonder what the
SENSEX actually is?
The SENSEX is the benchmark
index of the BSE. Since the BSE has
been the leading exchange of the
Indian secondary market, the SENSEX
has been an important indicator of
the Indian stock market. It is the
most frequently used indicator while
reporting on the state of the market.
An index has just one job: to capture
the price movement. So a stock index
will reflect the price movements of
shares while a bond index captures the
manner in which bond prices go up or
down. If the SENSEX rises, it indicates
the market is doing well. Since stocks
are supposed to reflect what companies
expect to earn in the future, a rising
index indicates that investors expect
better earnings from companies. It
is also a measure of the state of the
Indian economy. If Indian companies
are expected to do well, obviously the
economy should do well too.
The SENSEX, launched in 1986
is made up of 30 of the most actively
traded stocks in the market. In fact,
they account for half the BSE’s market
capitalisation. They represent 13 sectors
of the economy and are leaders in their
respective industries.

i ntroduction You all know that a business needs
finance from the time an entrepreneur
makes the decision to start it. It needs
finance both for working capital
requirements such as payments for raw
materials and salaries to its employees,
and fixed capital expenditure such as
the purchase of machinery or building
or to expand its production capacity.
The above example gives a fair picture
of how companies need to raise funds
from the capital markets. Idea Cellular
decided to enter the Indian capital
market for its needs of expansion. In
this chapter you will study concepts
like private placement, Initial public
Offer (IPO) and capital markets which
you come across in the example of
Idea Cellular. Business can raise
these funds from various sources and
in different ways through financial
markets. This chapter provides a brief
description of the mechanism through
which finances are mobilised by a
business organisation for both short
term and long term requirements. It also
explains the institutional structure and
the regulatory measures for different
financial markets.
c oncept oF Financial Market A business is a part of an economic
system that consists of two main
sectors – households which save
funds and business firms which
invest these funds. A financial market
helps to link the savers and the
investors by mobilizing funds between
them. In doing so it performs what is
known as an allocative function. It
allocates or directs funds available for
investment into their most productive
investment opportunity. When the
allocative function is performed well,
two consequences follow:
• The rate of return offered to
households would be higher
• Scarce resources are allocated to
those firms which have the highest
productivity for the economy.
There are two major alternative
mechanisms through which allocation
of funds can be done: via banks or
via financial markets. Households
can deposit their surplus funds with
banks, who in turn could lend these
funds to business firms. Alternately,
households can buy the shares and
debentures offered by a business
using financial markets. The process
by which allocation of funds is done is
called financial intermediation. Banks
and financial markets are competing
intermediaries in the financial system,
and give households a choice of where
they want to place their savings.

financial assets. Financial markets
exist wherever a financial transaction
occurs. Financial transactions could
be in the form of creation of financial
assets such as the initial issue of
shares and debentures by a firm or the
purchase and sale of existing financial
assets like equity shares, debentures
and bonds.
Functions oF Financial Market Financial markets play an important
role in the allocation of scarce resources
in an economy by performing the
following four important functions.
1. Mobilisation of Savings and
Channeling them into the most
Productive Uses: A financial market
facilitates the transfer of savings from
savers to investors. It gives savers the
choice of different investments and
thus helps to channelise surplus funds
into the most productive use.
2. Facilitating Price Discovery: You
all know that the forces of demand
and supply help to establish a price
for a commodity or service in the
market. In the financial market, the
households are suppliers of funds and
business firms represent the demand.
The interaction between them helps
to establish a price for the financial
asset which is being traded in that
particular market.

3. Providing Liquidity to Financial
Assets: Financial markets facilitate
easy purchase and sale of financial
assets. In doing so they provide
liquidity to financial assets, so that
they can be easily converted into
cash whenever required. Holders of
assets can readily sell their financial
assets through the mechanism of the
financial market.
4.Reducing the Cost of Transactions:
Financial markets provide valuable
information about securities being
traded in the market. It helps to save
time, effort and money that both
buyers and sellers of a financial asset
would have to otherwise spend to try
and find each other. The financial
market is thus, a common platform
where buyers and sellers can meet for
fulfillment of their individual needs.
Financial markets are classified
on the basis of the maturity of
financial instruments traded in them.
Instruments with a maturity of less
than one year are traded in the money
market. Instruments with longer
maturity are traded in the capital
market.
Money Market The money market is a market for short
term funds which deals in monetary
assets whose period of maturity is
upto one year. These assets are close
substitutes for money. It is a market
where low risk, unsecured and short
term debt instruments that are highly
liquid are issued and actively traded
everyday. It has no physical location,
but is an activity conducted over the
telephone and through the internet. It
enables the raising of short-term funds
for meeting the temporary shortages of
cash and obligations and the temporary
deployment of excess funds for earning
returns. The major participants in

Banking Finance Companies, State
Governments, Large Corporate Houses
and Mutual Funds.
Money Market i nstruMents 1. Treasury Bill: A Treasury bill is
basically an instrument of short-term
borrowing by the Government of India
maturing in less than one year. They
are also known as Zero Coupon Bonds
issued by the Reserve Bank of India
on behalf of the Central Government
to meet its short-term requirement
of funds. Treasury bills are issued in
the form of a promissory note. They
are highly liquid and have assured
yield and negligible risk of default.
They are issued at a price which is
lower than their face value and repaid
at par. The difference between the
price at which the treasury bills are
issued and their redemption value is
the interest receivable on them and
is called discount. Treasury bills are
available for a minimum amount of
` 25,000 and in multiples thereof.
Example: Suppose an investor
purchases a 91 days Treasury bill
with a face value of ` 1,00,000 for
` 96,000. By holding the bill until the
maturity date, the investor receives
` 1,00,000. The difference of ` 4,000
between the proceeds received at
maturity and the amount paid to
purchase the bill represents the
interest received by him.
2. Commercial Paper: Commercial
paper is a short-term unsecured
promissory note, negotiable and
transferable by endorsement and
delivery with a fixed maturity period.
It is issued by large and creditworthy
companies to raise short-term funds
at lower rates of interest than market
rates. It usually has a maturity period
of 15 days to one year. The issuance
of commercial paper is an alternative
to bank borrowing for large companies
that are generally considered to be
financially strong. It is sold at a
discount and redeemed at par. The
original purpose of commercial paper
was to provide short-terms funds
for seasonal and working capital
needs. For example companies use
this instrument for purposes such as
bridge financing.
Example: Suppose a company needs
long-term finance to buy some
machinery. In order to raise the long
term funds in the capital market
the company will have to incur
floatation costs (costs associated with
floating of an issue are brokerage,
commission, printing of applications
and advertising, etc.). Funds raised
through commercial paper are used
to meet the floatation costs. This is
known as Bridge Financing.
3. Call Money: Call money is short
term finance repayable on demand, with
a maturity period of one day to fifteen
days, used for inter-bank transactions.
Commercial banks have to maintain a
minimum cash balance known as cash
reserve ratio. The Reserve Bank of India
changes the cash reserve ratio from
time to time which in turn affects the
amount of funds available to be given
as loans by commercial banks. Call
money is a method by which banks
