These entities working behind the scenes make your transaction possible as per the rules and regulations of SEBI so that you do not face any problem. These entities are known as Financial Intermediaries. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">These intermediaries are dependent on each other&#8217;s work and together they create the ecosystem without which the financial market is impossible to run. In this chapter you will be told about these intermediates. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57\" src=\"https:\/\/gauravheera.com\/sharemarket\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Stock-Market-Intermediaries.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assetscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Stock-Market-Intermediaries.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assetscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Stock-Market-Intermediaries-300x66.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assetscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Stock-Market-Intermediaries-768x168.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Stock Broker<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">The Stock Broker is probably the most important intermediary of the stock markets, without knowing about it your can&#8217;t work in stock markets. It is a corporate entity which is registered as a trading member of the stock exchanges and has a stock broking license. And they work under the guidelines of SEBI. In another words, a stock broker is the door to the stock markets for common people. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">To enter the stock markets, you need to open a trading account with a broker. You can choose the broker of your choice. It is only Your trading account which is also called a demat account with your broker through which you can buy or sell shares. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">So let&#8217;s say you have opened a trading account and want to buy or sell a stock. for this you need to approach your broker, what are the ways to do it? You yourself go to the broker&#8217;s office and meet the dealer sitting there and tell him what you want to deal with. The dealer sits there is only to fulfill such orders. You can also make a call to your broker &amp; place your order after providing your identity &amp; client code. After this the dealer will complete your order through an online terminal.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">You can also do the deal yourself. Through a trading terminal software provided by your broker. All you need to do is to log in to your demat account and you will be able to see the live prices of the stocks itself and can place the order. It is actually the most preferred method. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">The broker gives you some essential features, such as: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Facility to buy and sell shares in the market. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Margin for trading. We will discuss this in detail later.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\"> If you want to trade over the phone then there the broker will help you. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Also software support is available, so that there is no problem in your trading. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Issuance of contract notes for each transaction. <\/span><\/span><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">This note is a written proof of the transaction of that day. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Transfer money between your bank account and trading account. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Creating a back office login, so that you can see complete information about your account. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">The broker charges you a fee for these facilities provided by him, which is called brokerage charge. These fees vary from broker to broker. You have to choose a broker that has the right balance of fees and features. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Depository and Depository Participants <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">When you buy a property, you keep its papers with you so that when the time comes, you can show when and from where you bought it. That&#8217;s why it is important to keep the paper in a safe place. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Similarly, when you buy shares (which is actually your stake in that company), you need to keep a share certificate to prove your stake. Because in it all the information is written that how much share of the company you have. Till 1996, share certificates were of paper. But since then share certificates started being issued digitally. The process of converting paper shares into digital is called dematerialization which came to be known as Demat for short. After 1996, there was a need to hold these demat shares digitally and since then a demat account has become necessary. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Depositories were created to provide the facility of demat account. The depository works in your demat account to hold all your shares in digital form. You can also consider it as your digital vault. The trading account opened with your broker and the demat account opened with the depository are interlinked. For example, if you want to buy Infosys shares, you would log in to your trading account, enter your price and place a buy order and buy the shares. After coming here the work of trading account is over. After this the shares of Infosys will automatically come in your demat account. Similarly, while selling you have to place the share price and order on the trading account and the shares will be automatically debited from your demat account. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">At present, there are only two depositories in the country offering demat account service. NSDL stands for National Securities Depository Limited and CDSL stands for Central Depository Services- India- Limited. Both have the same service and both work under the rules of SEBI. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Just like you go to a broker to open a share trading account, not NSE or BSE, similarly to open a demat account, you will not go to NSDL or CDSL, you will go to a Depository Participant- DP. These DPs act as an agent of the depository to open your account and are subject to SEBI regulations. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Banks<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\"> In the case of the stock market, the role of the bank is quite straightforward. They transfer money from bank to trading account and from trading account to bank. For this, it is necessary to have the same name in the trading account and the bank account. You can link multiple bank accounts to your trading account. For example, Zerodha has the facility to link one primary bank account and three secondary bank accounts to your trading account. You can put money from any of these bank accounts to buy shares. But while selling, the money will go to the primary bank account only. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Your primary bank account is also linked to your trading account, depository and registrar and transfer agents (RTAs). So trading, bank and depository accounts are interconnected electronically so that you can easily transact. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">NSCCL and ICCL <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">National Securities Clearing Corporation Limited (NSCCL) is a subsidiary of National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Indian Clearing Corporation Limited is a subsidiary of Bombay Stock Exchange. Their job is to settle every transaction that happens on the exchange. If you have bought one share of Biocon at Rs 446, then someone must have sold you this share for Rs 446. The job of the Clearing Corporation is to ensure that the shares move from the seller&#8217;s demat account to the buyer&#8217;s demat account. And the money goes out of the buyer&#8217;s bank and into the seller&#8217;s bank account. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">So overall the Clearing Corporation does the following in any transaction: <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Identifying buyers and sellers and adding money and shares to their accounts. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Ensuring that the deal is completed and that neither party backs out of the deal. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">However, it is not necessary for any investor to know in detail about the Clearing Corporation. He will never get to work directly with them. He should only know that a professional organization is doing this work with full rules and regulations. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Important points of this chapter: <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">In the market, many intermediaries do different work, due to which they form a complete system so that the market can work smoothly. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"hi\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Your entry into the stock market is through a broker.
