So their much consideration on saving not to invest because at that time less investment opportunities are available in the market.

Main features of the Indian Financial system before independence were closed-circle type of industrial entrepreneurship; a narrow industrial securities market, absence of issuing institutions and no intermediaries and brokers in the long-term financing of the industry. Savings from outside the country could not be invested in industry. Indian Financial System to supply finance and credit was greatly affected in the post-1950. Significant diversification and innovations in the structure of the financial institutions, have accompanied the growth of Indian Financial System. After that security market play a vital role in way of many positive impact on Indian economy. Security market is not the place of investment only for large capital investor it also motivates the middle income group to invest in it. The market is open for all type of organization whether it is public or private. India has witnessed all types of financial innovations like diversification, securitization, liberalization, and globalization etc. As a result, today the financial institutions and a large number of financial instruments lead a fairly diversified portfolio of financial claims.

    A financial system comprises of financial institutions (EXIM BANK, NHB, IFCI) that provides intermediaries of financial markets, financial instruments (EQUITY, DEBT, DERRIVATIVE) and financial services(MUTUAL FUNDS, INSURANCE, TAX AND AUDIT CONSULTING) which are all regulated by regulators like Ministry of Finance, RBI, SEBI, IRDA, Department of Economic Affairs, Department of Company Affairs, etc., which facilitate the process of smooth and efficient transfer of funds.

  • Securities Market is the market for long term funds where securities such as common stock, preferred stock and bonds are traded. Market comprises of those financial instruments/claims/obligations that are commonly and readily transferable by sale.
  • The Security market mainly consists of two inter-dependent and inseparable segments, first is MONEY MARKET and the other is CAPITAL MARKET it includes primary (new issue) and secondary market (deals with the securities already exist in the market).
  • One way of classifying is by the type of financial claim into the debt market and the equity market. The debt market is the financial market for fixed claims like debt instruments. The equity market is the financial market for residual claim i.e. equity instruments. The way of classifying the financial markets into money market and capital market is on the basis of maturity of claims.

Money Market

  • Money market is main component of economy because it provides funds for short term. It is the market where money and highly liquid marketable securities are traded having maturity period of one or less than one year. It is different from stock market because in it transaction not take place as formal as in stock exchange it takes place only through oral communication and relevant document Securities traded in it also termed as money market instruments(govt.securities, commercial paper, treasury bills). Excess funds are deployed in the money market, which is availed of to meet temporary shortages of cash and other obligations.

    The money market is the major mechanism through which the Reserve Bank influences liquidity and the level of interest rates.

Function of the Money Market

  • Capital Market is the market which include primary market where transaction takes place in newly issued bonds and equities and other is secondary market in which trading is done in old bonds and equities. It provides long term finance with the maturity period more than one year. In this market both private and public organizations often sell their securities in order to raise funds. Capital markets increase the economic growth and development. In this market three participants take part in dealing first is issuer of securities means borrower of funds like Govt. and company, second is investor means the person who deploy their savings by subscribing the issuer securities it include retail investors etc. and the third one is the intermediaries who work to match the need of issuer and investor.

The capital market is characterized by many financial instruments: Debentures, Equity and bond and many more also exists. In capital market many methods are used for trading out of which first is public issue which includes direct selling, sale through agent , second is placement method, third one is offer for sale, fourth is right issue and another is bonus issue etc.

The Capital Market deals with the stock markets which provide financing through the issuance of shares or common stock in the primary market, and enable the subsequent trading in the secondary market. Capital Markets also deals with debt securities i.e. Bond Market which provide financing through issuance of Bonds in the primary Market and subsequent trading thereof in the secondary market.

6. Impact on Indian Economy

Our security market ensures a connection between various nations by investment and focus on improving way of investment allocation with the help of diversified portfolio. The volatility in share prices work with opposite results such as positive and negative and also maximize return on investment with low cost. After the examination of various reports and other documents it is observed that there is a favorable association between improvement in financial growth and per capita GDP growth rate. Some other impacts of stock market on “Indian Financial System” are as this market provides money to issuer in name of capital for starting new business that in return create employment opportunities which proactively work in enhancing standard of living and real income of persons.

If prices of shares falls then it negatively affect the wealth that is commonly observed in respect of housing market. This decrease in share price also demotivates the investors which resulted in decrease in investment simultaneously. go down and because of that investment in security market go down which affect our economy in negative way. The active securities market works as an ‘engine’ of general financial development and may, in particular, accelerate the integration of informal financial systems with the institutional financial sector. Securities directly displace traditional assets such as gold and stocks of produce or indirectly, may provide portfolio assets for pension funds and similar FIs that raise savings from the traditional sector. The existence of this market extends the opportunities for institutional mechanisms so that monetary and financial policy can be implementing successfully. Furthermore, our economy is not dependent solely on security market instead of this it is affected by numerous factors but the stock market largely affected by supply and demand of stock. So, the real impact of security market on Indian economy cannot be examined absolutely.

7. Conclusion

Financial markets Is the place where one party transfer their resources which lying as idle to the other party who have pressing need for that. A platform that provides maximum channels for allocation of savings to investment. Return on investment not depends upon the amount of capital but it depends on the growth and demand of the financial instruments in which we want to invest. Always give priority to the business instead of stock and the past performance of the portfolio. To earn maximum return right balance in portfolio is necessary. Security market provide a variety of assets to savers as well as various forms in which the investors can raise funds and thereby decouple the acts of saving and investment.The financial markets, thus, contribute to economic development but it also depends upon the risk bearing capacity of investor and staying in market for long term.

Before a long time, the Indian market not considered as much important but in present this view has changed totally because investors from all over the world invest their savings in Indian market that is great achievement of our financial organizations and market. Now the Indian market is constantly evolving as the market which providing attractive opportunities to the investing community.
