I. INTRODUCTION

The economic growth and development of any country depends upon a well-knit financial system. This financial system supplies

the necessary financial inputs for the production of goods and services which in turn promote the well-being and standard of living of the

people of the country. In the developed countries, these two sides of the economic coin work together to promote growth and to avoid

runaway price inflation. When in a developing country, the lack of a strong and sound financial system generally works against the national

economy. An efficient functioning of the financial system facilitates the free flow of funds to more productive activities and thus promotes

investment. Thus, the financial system provides the intermediation between savers & investors and promotes faster economic development.

Financial system comprises a set of sub-systems of financial institutions, markets, instruments and services which help in the formation of

capital.

The financial system is characterised by the presence of an integrated, organized and regulated financial markets and institutions

that meet the short-term and long-term financial needs of both the household and corporate sector. Both financial markets and institution

plays an important role in financial system by rendering various financial services to the community. They operate in close combination with

each other.

The financial market exists to facilitates sales and purchases of financial instruments and comprises of two major markets namely the capital

market (deals in medium and long-term investment) and money market (deals in short-term investment). These markets can be divided into

two segments viz, primary and secondary. The primary market is used by issuer for raising fresh capital by making initial public offer or

rights issue or offer for sale of equity or debt. The secondary market is the place for old securities which have been already issued and

granted stock exchange quotations. It provides a regular and continuous market for buying and selling of securities. Thus, the capital market

is important for raising funds for capital formation and investments and forms a very vital link for economic development of any country.

In the year 1947, the first depository of the world was set up by Germany. The total no. of depositories in the world was 22 only.

The number had crossed 250 by the end of 2004 and at the end of 2014 the number become 310, and at present it is more than 310 in

number. In July 1992, the move on depository in India was initiated by the Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited this was the time

when it prepared concept paper on “National Clearance and Depository System “in collaboration with Price water house under a programme

sponsored by the US agency for international development. Under the chairmanship of Shri R. Chandrashekharan (Managing Director,

SHCIL) the government of India Constituted a technical Group, which submitted its report on December, 1993. A seven-member action

squad constituted by the Security & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) subsequently to discuss the various structural and operational

parameters of Depository system. Considering the various problems and issues.The government of India promulgated the Depository

ordinance in September,1995 thus paving the way for setting up of depositories in the country. The depositories Act was passed by the

parliament in August, 1996.The Act provides that a depository, which is required to be a Company under the company act 1956 and

depository participants need to be registered with SEBI. The Depository shall carry out the dematerialization of securities and the transfer of

beneficiary owner through electronic book entry. The investors however, have the option to hold securities in the physical or electronic form,

or they can rematerialise securities previously held in electronic form. After the enforcement of depositories act 1996, The first depository of

India (NSDL) came into operation in 1996 and in 1999 the second depository (CDSL) came into operation.

On the simplest level, depository is used to refer to any place where something is deposited for storage or security purposes.

Depository is an institution or a kind of organization which holds securities with it, in which trading is done among shares, debentures,

mutual funds, derivatives, F&O and commodities. Indian capital market has been witnessing rapid growth in recent past. However, this

growth has not watched with supporting infrastructure to handle the growing huge volume of paper that has flooded the market, choking our

existing system. This has caused problems like delay in transfers, long settlement period, high levels of failed trade and bad deliveries, high-

risk exposure etc. These characteristics were normally the attributes of an under developed market. To overcome delay in forgery

certificates, mutilation of certificates, settlement, loss in transit, stolen certificates, litigation etc. a new system of trading, viz. Depository

system was introduced, which facilitates investor to hold securities in electronic form and to trade in these securities. The needs for

depository occur mainly due the following reasons:

Limitations of Physical Transfer

To ensure transparency in allotment of shares

Consolidation of folios & instruments.

Reduced cost of transaction

Centralised Systems in Securities Dealings

1.1 Services provided by Depository

Transfer of securities, change of beneficial ownership

Corporate action benefits directly transfer to the Demat and Bank account of customer

Electronic credit in public offerings of companies.

Dematerialization

Rematerialisation

1.2 Benefits of Depository System:

Depository system takes hold of all securities in the country listed in that particular stock exchange.

Introduction of electronic system enables speedy transactions and accuracy.

In a depository system, the security holders can sell and buy securities by which liquidity is brought to the securities.

Blank transfers are avoided and holding of shares in Benami names is also prevented.

Registration and stamp charges for the sale of securities could be easily collected by the government which was evaded under the

previous system.

Depository promotes more activity in the capital market as trading in genuine share. is ensured under Depository system.

Depository avoids use of stationery and prevents delay in registration of transfers.

Dividend and interest on securities are properly distributed through this system and in the case of convertible debentures, on the due

date, the securities are converted into company shares.

Depository acts as collateral security for the raising of 1oans from any financial institution.

no bad deliveries

It enhances the liquidity of securities in the market.

reduction in transaction cost

It eliminates problems relating to change of address of investors, transmission etc

It makes faster disbursement of non cash corporate benefits like rights, bonus, etc. possible.

faster settlement cycle

no stamp duty on transfer of shares;

faster disbursement of corporate benefits like rights and bonus;

It eliminates problems relating to selling securities on behalf of a minor.

1.3 Disadvantage of Depository System

Discrimination between dematerialized and physical shares will affect transactions in the market. This has to be avoided.

Lack of control

Depository system is not effectively regulated by SEBI. This is evident from the fact that the Clearing and Settlement Corporation is

not effectively handled by the SEBI.

Complexity of the system

Promoters of some companies dematerialised shares in excess of the company‟s issued capital.

Some listed companies had obtained duplicate shares after the originals were pledged with banks and then sold the duplicates in the

secondary market to make a profit.

1.4 Key Features of the Depository System in India: Multi-Depository System:

Depository services through depository participants:

Dematerialisation:

Fungibility:

Registered Owner/ Beneficial Owner:

Free Transferability of shares

(iii) Data Collection and Analysis The study is based upon secondary data collected from various websites i.e. NSDL, SEBI, CDSL,

NSE and Official publications, annual reports of NSDL and CDSL and research articles published in journals for a period of 21

years i.e. from 1997 to 2017.

III. Role of Depositories

Depositories and Their Role in The Indian Capital Market

All the functions of depositories are undertaken by NSDL with the help of electronic network. The magnitude of transactions of

NSDL could be judged by the volume of transactions undertaken by NSE which has gone up multifold. This is no mean an achievement,

especially when the NSE could overtake BSE during previous years. Comparatively, BSE is oldest. Their role comes into play from the time

an investor makes a decision on investing. Their role comes into play from the time an investor makes a decision on investing. In India, there

are two depositories namely National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) or Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) that are

registered with SEBI.

3.1 About NSDL

NSDL, the first and largest depository in India, established in August 1996 and promoted by institutions of national stature has

established a state-of-the-art infrastructure that handles most of the securities held and settled in dematerialized form in the Indian capital

market. Although India had a vibrant capital market which is more than a century old, the paper-based settlement of trades caused substantial

problems like bad delivery and delayed transfer of title, etc. The enactment of Depositories Act in August 1996 paved the way for

establishment of NSDL.

Using innovative and flexible technology systems, NSDL works to support the investors and brokers in the capital market of the

country. NSDL aims at ensuring the safety and soundness of Indian marketplaces by developing settlement solutions that increase efficiency,

minimize risk and reduce costs. At NSDL, we play a central role in developing products and services that will continue to nurture the

growing needs of the financial services industry. In the depository system, securities are held in depository accounts, which is more or less

similar to holding funds in bank accounts. Transfer of ownership of securities is done through simple account transfers. This method does

away with all the risks and hassles normally associated with paperwork. Consequently, the cost of transacting in a depository environment is

considerably lower as compared to transacting in certificates.

NSDL provides bouquet of services to end investors, stock brokers, stock exchanges, custodians, issuer companies etc. through its network

of more than 264 Depository Participants / Business Partners. NSDL has been able to win the trust of crores of investors and other

intermediaries, thus standing true to its tag line −Technology, Trust and Reach. We at NSDL believe that „Every Indian should not only

become an „Investor‟ but a „Prudent Investor‟ indeed.

3.2 Promoters / Shareholders NSDL is promoted by Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) - the largest development bank of India, Unit Trust of India

(UTI) - the largest mutual fund in India and National Stock Exchange (NSE) - the largest stock exchange in India. Some of the prominent

banks in the country have taken a stake in NSDL.

Periodic Review

3.7 Safety features

There are various checks and measures in the depository system to ensure safety of the investor holdings. These include

A DP can be operational only after registration by SEBI, which is based on the recommendation from NSDL and their own

independent evaluation. SEBI has prescribed criteria for becoming a DP in the regulations.

DPs are allowed to effect any debit and credit to an account only on the basis of valid instruction from the client.

Every day, there is a system driven mandatory reconciliation between DP and NSDL.

All transactions are recorded at NSDL Central System and in the databases maintained by business partners.

There are periodic inspections into the activities of both DP and R&T agent by NSDL. This also includes records based on which

the debit/credit are effected.

All investors have a right to receive their statement of accounts periodically from the DP.

Every month NSDL forwards statement of account to a random sample of investors as a counter check.

In the depository, the depository holds the investor accounts on trust. Therefore, if the DP goes bankrupt the creditors of the DP will

have no access to the holdings in the name of the clients of the DP. These investors can transfer their holdings to an account held

with another DP.

The data interchange between NSDL and its business partners is protected by protection measures of international standards such as

encryption hardware lock. The protection measures adopted by NSDL are more than what is prescribed in the SEBI Regulations.

3.8 Freeze Facility

A depository account holder (beneficiary account) may freeze securities lying in the account for as long as the account holder wants

it. By freezing the account, account holder can prevent unexpected debits or credits or both, creeping into its account. The following types of

freeze facility available in the NSDL system may be availed of by submitting freeze instruction to the DP in the prescribed form.

Freeze for debits only

Freeze for debits as well as credits

Freeze a particular ISIN in the account

Freeze a specific number of securities held under an ISIN in an account

No stamp duty on transfer of securities;

Elimination of risks associated with physical certificates such as bad delivery, fake securities, etc.;

Reduction in paperwork involved in transfer of securities;

Reduction in transaction cost;

Nomination facility;

the need to correspond with each of them separately;

To classify a stock market either as a matured market or emerging market one of the important parameters is liquidity. Higher

liquidity provides opportunity for easy entry and exit options to the investors. More number of shares traded per trade is yet another sign to

indicate better liquidity. More and more institutional players appear to be participating in a bigger way in post- Demat period in the market

indicating increased level of confidence in the Indian stock market. Ultimate test of any stock market is the returns to the investor. Generally,

always though not possible, investors expect to earn abnormal returns on their investments.

Volatility and returns go hand-in-hand. Higher volatility sometimes brings higher positive returns. In the study period, volatility as a

whole (index) slightly increased and concurrently the companies studied also had higher volatility. On the whole, dematerialization played a

very positive role in further modernization of Indian capital market by providing higher liquidity, higher returns and lower volatility.

The rapid growth in number, volume of value of securities in the Indian capital market exposed the limitation of handling securities

in the physical/paper mode. The present system of settlement based on physical delivery of paper certificates was probably adequate in the

past when there was small number of investors participating in the transaction of the capital market.

VI. CONCLUSION

This study concludes that, there is a sizable increase in terms of number of beneficiary accounts, number of companies available for

Demat, number of depository participants, number of depository participants service centers, Quantity of Demat Shares/Securities (No. of

Dematerialized Securities) and Demat Custody in NSDL & CDSL (Value of Dematerialized Securities). Positive annual average growth rate

shows the growth of Indian Capital Market. The Demat account opening is same as bank account, i.e. single or joint accounts or with

nominee. Some amount has to be paid (i.e. 350/- per year+25) for the Demat account. For each transaction the DP‟s may charge nearly Rs.30

+ brokerage/commission is common. The growth rates of Demat account holder in increasing over years. The Indian system of capital

market is a Two Tire System. Indian government allows holding securities in any form i.e. either in physical securities or in electronic

(Demat) form. The transaction of securities is completely (i.e. 99.99) done through electronic format. The investors rarely utilize the

Rematerialisation Request Form. Investors are not aware of the services offered by depositories. Most of the speculators do not utilize Demat

account in day-to-day online trading. They trade through broker pool account. Dematerialization process can be done through online trading

by utilizing computers.
