This Stock Exchange is wedded to the investors protection and investors education as we have firm conviction that any investor protection cannot be achieved without proper awareness and education of investors. Thus the Exchange has a very active investor service Cell and also a very equipped Research and Development Wing is functioning. We have also a very effective system of readdressing the investors complaints. The Exchange has one of the best developed Exchanges of the country so far its infrastructure is concerned. The Ex-Finance Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, Ex-Commerce Minister Shri Pranab Mukherjee, other Central Ministers and Chief Ministers Uttar Pradesh have visited this Exchange and appreciated its efforts in maintaining the transparency and the integrity of the market. To keep pace of changing technology the Exchange has embarked upon the Project of Screen Based Trading. The On-line Trading based on VECTOR Software supplied by CMC has commenced on UPSE from 11th November 1997. To increase the further business and to facilitate the On-line trading facility to about 22 members at Lucknow an additional trading floor has been established at Lucknow. At present at the Additional Trading Floor at Lucknow 22 Lucknow based members have been allotted Computer Terminals which have been connected with UPSE main Server via VSAT. As per recent decision of SEBI for the revival of the smaller Stock Exchanges in the country, they can obtain the membership of big Stock Exchanges like, BSE, NSE, CSE etc. through forming a subsidiary company of the Exchange and in turn the members of the Exchange can trade through the said subsidiary as sub-broker(s). Accordingly we have incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary namely UPSE Securities Ltd. and obtained the membership of BSE to enable the members of UPSE on BOLT.
Provides Ready MarketA Stock Exchange provides a free, fair & continuous market in securities. A holder of securities may at any time get back his money by selling off his holdings in a Stock Exchange. It promotes investment by offering a vide choice in securities both on consideration of yield and safety against depreciation in their values.
Stock Exchange provides sufficient marketability of the securities a dealt there in and ensures their price connectivity. In Stock Exchange, every security constitutes a separate market for itself. One cannot buy and sell securities unless some facility, by which buyers and sellers can meet together and deal in securities, is provided. The Stock Market provides the facility as it is simply a place of traffic in stocks and shares.
Mobility of CapitalIn addition to provide a market, the stock exchange has largely helped in directing the accumulated wealth of the country into fruitful channels. The stock exchange is not like investment trust or any other investment institution. It merely provides an open market for the sale and purchase of securities. It directs the flow of new earnings into investment leading to the production of wealth into two ways. First, by purchase of securities by the buyers (savers) directly. Secondly, by placing the saving with financial institutions to reinvest the funds in securities.
Stability and Liquidity of CapitalAn investor can withdraw his capital at any time either for other investment or for personal need by selling the shares in the stock market. It is interesting to note that capital can be withdrawn without affecting the industry. Thus, the investment is made liquid and easily disposable.
The stock exchange provides the facility for secondary distribution of new securities, after the original sale of securities. The supply of shares of a particular industry cannot be increased with every change in prices, though the stock available in the market at a particular time may vary a little. The Stock Exchange creates an interest and willingness in the mind of investors to invest in securities. It increases the marketability of securities, since some securities are brought and sold again and again. Readily saleable securities serve a good collateral security for loans.
Safety of Dealings An organized stock exchange functioning under government regulation provides a reasonable measure of security and safety of dealings in securities to the investors through its rules and regulations. The risk of the investor is considerably reduced when he purchases securities, which are ordinarily dealt in a Stock Exchange. The stock exchanges before giving permission to deal require the observance of a rigid set of rules by the company and call for certain information with a view to safeguard the interest of the investors. The information supplied is examined impartially and then permission is granted. Thus, it creates confidence in the minds of the investor.
Financing Industry The Stock Exchanges encourages investment in industries more than any other institution. The investment flows in corporate securities so that the nation can achieve industrial development and economic progress. Moreover, the condition of the company is visible since the price of securities shows the real worth, which depends upon the serving capacity
and future development of the company. In short, industrial development, saving investments and capital formation are the benefits of a Stock Exchange.
Wider Share Ownership Establishment In addition to the basic function, a well organized modern Stock Exchange is also expected to educate the masses in the art of investment in Stock Exchange and thereby, promote wider ownership amongst individual is of particular significance to the developing countries wherein savings are scattered for further income. Through it, new sources of capital can be tapped.
Economic Barometer An ideal Stock Exchange serves to allocate only just enough funds for any industries and checks the flow of capital when an industry begins to show diminishing or uneconomical returns. This is achieved through keeping an eye on price movements of the securities.
Other Functions Other functions performed by Stock Exchange are that the market price established in trading are useful for tax purpose. The stipulation on disclosure and transparency ensures availability of information on listed companies, particularly in regard to financial conditions and protect investor interest by eliminating dishonest and irregular practices in the brokerage made.
Besides the regional stock exchange three national stock exchanges have been set up in India
The Indian Stock Market is one of the oldest markets in Asian Markets. Its history dated back to nearly two centuries when the records of security dealings in India with merger and obscure. The East India Company was dominant in those days and business in its loan securities was transacted to words the close of the 18th century. By the 1830 business in corporate stocks and shares in bank and cotton presses took place in Bombay. Though the trading list was broader in 1839, there were only half a dozen brokers recognized by banks and merchants.
The Bombay Stock Exchange has been converted into company for very recently. Now it is known as Mumbai Stock Exchange Ltd.

OBJECTIVES:The philosophy underlying the creation of the SEBI is that multiple regulatory bodies for securities industry mean that the regulatory system gets divided ,causing confusion among market participants as to who is really in command .In a multiple regulatory structure, there is also an overlap of functions of different regulatory bodies. Through the SEBI, the regulation model which entrusted to a single highly visible and independent organization, which is backed by a statue, and which is accountable to the Parliament and in which investors can have trust.
CONSTITUTION AND ORGANISATION:The SEBI is a body of six members comprising the chairman, two members from amongst the officials of the ministries of the central government dealing with finance and law, two 11
members who are professionals and have experience or special knowledge relating to securities market, and one member from the RBI. All members, except the RBI member are appointed by the government, who also lays down their terms of office, tenure, and conditions of service, and who can also serve any member from office under certain circumstances .The Central government is empowered to supersede the SEBI in public interest ,of if on account of gave emergency it is unable to discharge its functions or duties, or if it presently defaults in complying with any direction issued by the government ,or if its financial position and administration deteriorates. The work of the SEBI has been organized into five operational departments each of which is headed by an executive director who reports to the chairman. Besides, there is a legal department and the investigation department .The department has been dividing into divisions. The various departments and the scope of their activities are as follows:-
The Primary Market Policy, Intermediaries Self Regulatory Organizations (ISRO) and Investors Grievance and Guidance Department:It looks after all policy matters regulatory issues in respect of the primary market registration merchant bankers, portfolio management service's investment advisors ,debenture trustees ,underwriter, SROs and investor grievance ,guidance ,education and association.

Most of the Stock Exchanges around the world were set up as association of the Trading members. The objective to set up association was aimed to create a formal institution for mutually regulating the securities transactions among the members. Thus, most of the Stock Exchanges were promoted as non-profit organizations. While, the management of the Stock Exchange was generally vested with elected representative(s) of the trading members, executives carried out the day-to-day functioning of the Stock Exchange. However, during last two decades attempts have been made to change the profile of the Stock Exchange by demutualising them and reconstituting them as commercial corporate entities.1 Demutualization of a Stock Exchange entails that it is no longer remains entity for mutual benefit of trading members but beholds the larger objective of becoming the system with adequate checks for proper mobilization of capital & protecting the interest of investors at large. Corporatization is a critical enabler that would support the efforts in expanding and strengthening the Indian capital market. While things are becoming more business oriented, The corporatized Stock Exchanges will improve its flexibility and efficiency in terms of its responsiveness to market needs2. The need for corporatization of Stock Exchanges in India has recently came into lime light after functioning of Mumbai Stock Exchange is alleged to have been manipulated by the some of the Trading members on governing Board of the exchange, which followed by stock markets crash in spite of what was seen as one of the favorable & progressive Union Budget in recent years3. After the stock scam of March 2001, the Government finally announced that all stock 14
Exchanges would have to mandatorily go in for demutualization within a specified timeframe4. This was aimed at preventing conflict of interests, which arise when Stockbrokers are involved in the management of the stock exchanges also. It is in this context it becomes necessary to study the need and impact of Corporatization of Stock Exchanges and its relevance in Indian context before a clear roadmap could be prepared to take this process forward, for which SEBI constituted a Group under the Chairmanship of Justice M. H. Kania, former Chief Justice of India comprising of eminent personalities, in fields of law, accountancy, finance, company law affairs and taxation to advise SEBI on this matter and to recommend the steps that need to be taken to implement the announcement of the Government. So as a result of this the Government has approved the corporatization of stock exchanges in India by which ownership and trading rights would be segregated from each other .corporatization and demutualization of stock exchanges are complex subjects and involve number of legal, accounting and company law issues. These roadmaps could be prepared to take process forward. Historically, brokers owned, controlled and used to manage stock exchanges. In case of dispute, the self often got procedure over regulations leading inevitably to conflict interest. The regulator therefore focus on reducing the dominance of members in the management of stock exchanges and advised to reconstitute their governing council to provide at least 50% non brokers representatives. This did not materially alter the situation. Thus finally in face of volatility in the securities market, government proposed in marc 2001 to corporatize the stock exchanges by which the ownership, management and trading members could be segregated from one another.

Thus, the exchange has a very active investor service cell and also a very equipped research and development wing in functioning. UPSE has also very effective system of readdressing of the investors complaints. The exchange is one of the best developed exchanges of the country so far its infrastructure is concerned.

The online trading based on VECTOR software supplied by Cmc has commenced on UPSE from 11th November, 1997. To increase the further business and to facilitate the online trading facility to about 22 members at luck now an additional trading floor was established at Lucknow. Seeing lack of participation by investors, UPSE has closed down its landmark Additional Trading Floor (ATF) at Lucknow. The ATF was set up initially to further increase business and to provide online trading facility to Lucknow based members. It commenced online trading in March 1999 with 22 members, who were allotted computer terminals at the ATF. The terminals were connected with UPSE's main server via VSAT. It is noteworthy to note that at present out of 17 regional stock exchanges recognized in India only 2 regional stock exchanges are functioning and are still generating some turnover. UPSE is among those two regional stock exchange, the other one being Calcutta stock exchange.

As per decision of SEBI for the revival of the smaller stock exchanges in the country, they can obtain the member stock exchanges like NSE, BSE, and CSE etc by forming a subsidiary company of the exchange and in turn the members of the exchange can trade through the said subsidiary as sub- brokers. Accordingly they had incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary namely UPSEC and obtained the membership of BSE to enable the members of UPSE on BOLT. They are at present trying to get membership of NSE.
To acquire the membership of any other recognized exchange in India and abroad including membership of OTCEI , broad base the operation of stock exchange for the benefit of general public & investors.

Prior to the promulgation of companies (Amendment) act.1988 listing of securities offered to the public for subscription was not compulsory. Companies were free either to enlist or not to do so at their discretion. But Section 73 (before amendment) provides that if the prospectus of an Issue contains a provision that the securities arising out of the Issue will be listed on the Stock Exchanges, it has to do so and failure of which may result in the refund if applications money collected. Thus listing was not mandatory. Nevertheless companies generally prefer to enlist their securities for envious reasons. But listing was not made within a reasonable time.
Having regard to undesirable activities and in order to protect the interest of the investors, a sub-section was introduced into Section 73 of the companies act 1988. This sub-section provided for the compulsory listing of all issue of securities offered to the public for subscription at one or more Stock Exchangs.
Further, according to the listing requirements of the stock exchange provide that, if the issue amount exceeds 3 crores the company has to make arrangements to enlist the securities in one or more Stock Exchanges, apart from the Regional Stock Exchange.

DELISTING
In December 1998, the Mumbai Stock Exchange has threatened to delist shares of over 700 companies for non-payment of listing fee for 1997-98 by December 1998. Over the past years, several companies incurred loss and many of them were unable to pay the listing fee. But many companies purposefully avoided paying the listing fee. Delisting the companys share prevents the public scrutiny of performance. Many companies made public issue itself a business. Thus delisting may be compulsory or voluntary. Some of the common causes for delisting are given below .
COMPULSORY
a) Non-payment of listing fee or violation of listing agreement.
d) Unfair trade practices at the behest of promoters or managers, and malpractice such as issuing of duplicate fake shares by management.
VOLUNTARY
a) Unable to pay the listing fee. Listing fee is prohibitive.

If these conditions are not fulfilled, Central Government approval would be needed. The other ground under which voluntary delisting can be allowed by a stock exchange is for thin public share holding.
