Capital markets are markets for buying and selling equity and debt instruments. Capital markets channel
savings and investment between suppliers of capital such as retail investors and institutional investors,
and users of capital like businesses, government and individuals. Capital markets include primary
markets, where new stock and bond issues are sold to investors, and secondary markets, which trade
existing securities. Capital market can be further divided into two Part.

primary market is classified into public issue market and private placement market. There are number of
intermediaries in the primary market such as merchant banker, issue manager, etc.
Banks participate in the capital market as bankers to the issue, arrangers, underwriters etc.
SECONDARY MARKET
The market in which securities are traded after they are initially offered in the primary market. Most
trading occurs in the secondary market. In the secondary market, securities are sold by and transferred
from one investor or speculator to another.
Equity shares, bonds, preference shares, treasury bills, debentures, etc. are some of the key products
available in a secondary market. SEBI is the regulator of the same. Secondary market could be either an
auction or a dealer market. While stock exchange is the part of an auction, over the counter (OTC)
market is a part of the dealer market.
For the general investors, the secondary market provides an efficient platform for the trading of securities
and price discovery. For the managers of the company, secondary market serve as a monitoring and
control conduit- by facilitating value enhancing control activities, enabling implementation of incentive
based management contracts and aggregating information that guides management decisions. Banks
also extend credit against securities; they may also act as clearing house banks.

CHAPTER 5 ROLE & FUNCTIONS OF CAPITAL MARKET & SEBI
In terms of legal structure, the stock exchange in India could be segregated into broad groups-19 stock
exchanges which were set up as companies either limited by guarantees or by shares and the 3 stock
exchanges which were associations of persons (AOPs), viz. Bombay stock exchange (BSE), Ahmedabad
stock exchange (ASE) and Madhya Pradesh stock exchange (MPSE).
To improve the efficiency of the exchanges, it is necessary to corporatize them. Corporatization is the
process of converting the organizational structure of the stock exchange from a non-corporate to a
corporate structure. Traditionally, some of the stock exchanges in India were established as AOPs, e.g.
BSE, ASE and MPSE. Corporatization of such exchanges is the process of converting them into
incorporated companies.
The NSE was started in 1992 by banks and financial institutions including Industrial financial corporation
of India (IFCI), IL &FS, Industrial credit and investment corporation of India (ICICI), Punjab national banks

a listed company making a preferential issue. However for a QIP, only those companies whose shares
are listed in NSE or BSE and those who are having a minimum public float as required in terms of the
listing agreement, are eligible.
Any company making a public issue or a listed company making a rights issue of a value of more than
Rs. 50 lakh is required to file a draft offer document with SEBI for its observations. The validity period of
SEBFs observation letter is only three months, i.e. the company has to open its issue within a period of
three months. There is no requirement of filing any offer document/notice to SEBI in the case of
preferential allotment and QIP. In QIP, the merchant banker handling the issue has to file a copy of the
placement document with SEBI post-allotment, for record purposes.
The merchant banks are the specialized intermediaries who are required to display due diligence and
ensure that all the requirements of DIP are complied with, while submitting the draft offer document to
SEBI. Any non-compliance on their part attracts penal action from SEBI, in terms of SEBI (Merchant
Bankers) Regulations. The draft offer document filed by the merchant banker is also placed on the
website for public comments. Officials of SEBI, at various levels, examine the compliance with DIP
guidelines and ensure that all necessary material information is disclosed in the draft offer documents.
Offer Document
Offer Document means prospectus in case of a public issue, or offer for sale and Letter of Offer in case
of a rights issue which are filed with Registrar of Companies (ROC) and stock exchanges. An offer
document covers all the relevant information to help an investor to make his/her investment decision. A
15 Draft Offer Document means the offer document in a draft stage. The draft offer documents are filed with
SEBI, at least twenty-one days prior to the filing of the offer document with ROC/SEs. SEBI may specify
changes, if any, in the draft offer document and the issuer or the lead merchant banker (LM) shall carry

out such changes in the draft offer document before filing the offer document with ROC/ SEs. The draft
offer document will be available on the SEBI website for public comments for a period of twenty-one days
from the filing of the draft offer document with SEBI.
In the case of book-built issues, it is a process of price discovery and the price cannot be determined until
the bidding process is completed. Such details are thus not shown in the RHP filed with ROC in terms of
the provisions of the Companies Act. Only on completion of the bidding process, the details of the final
price are included in the offer document. The offer document filed thereafter with ROC is called a
prospectus.

fixed price) and other, where the company and LM stipulate a floor price or a price band and leave it to
market forces to determine the final price (price discovery through book building process).
An issuer company is allowed to freely price the issue. The basis of issue price is disclosed in the offer
document where the issuer discloses in detail about the qualitative and quantitative factors justifying the
issue price. The issuer company can mention a price band of 20 per cent (cap in the price band should
not be more than 20 per cent of the floor price) in the draft offer documents filed with SEBI and actual
price can be determined at a later date before filing of the final offer document with SEBI/ROCs.
Book Building
Book Building means a process undertaken, by which a demand for the securities proposed to be issued
by a corporate body is elicited and built-up and the price for the securities is assessed on the basis of the
bids obtained for the quantum of securities offered for subscription by the issuer. This method provides
an opportunity to the market to discover the price for securities. In a book built issue allocation, Retail
Individual Investors (RIIs), Non-Institutional Investors (Nils) and QIBs are in the ratio of 35:15:50
respectively. In case the book built issues are made pursuant to the requirement of mandatory allocation
of 60 per cent to QIBs in terms of Rule 19(2)(b) of SCRR, the respective figures are 30 per cent for RIIs
and 10 per cent for Nils. Retail Individual Investor means an investor who apples or bids for securities of
or for a value not more than Rs. 1, 00,000.

Apart from preferential allotment, this is the only other speedy method of private placement whereby a
listed company can issue shares or convertible securities to a select group of persons. QIP scores over
other methods because the issuing firm does not have to undergo elaborate procedural requirements to
raise this capital.
SEBI introduced the QIP method of raising money in 2006 at a time when Indian companies were looking
at investments help to make Indian markets more competitive and efficient. They have been around since
about 2006; before that, Indian companies often tapped foreign markets via American depository receipts
(ADRs) for capital. QIPs help Indian companies raise capital in India and associated with raising capital in
the domestic markets had led many companies to look at tapping overseas market via foreign currency
convertible bonds(FCCB) and global depository receipts (GDR). This has also helped issuing companies
price their issues closer to the prevailing market price. The specified securities can be issued only to
QIBs, who shall not be promoters or related to promoters of the issuer. The issue is managed by a SEBI-
registered merchant banker. There is no pre-issue filing of the placement document with SEBI.
