BSE History

Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is the oldest stock exchange in Asia. Its history
dates back to 1855, when five
stockbrokers
would gather under banyan trees in front of Mumbai’s Town
Hall. Here
 Premchand Roychand (named Cotton king/
bullion king/ Big bull
), was an influential businessman in 19th
century, Bombay, India, took major steps to build a group of investors to
operate investment and trading. Episodically, For this purposes,
the
location of meetings changed many times to accommodate an increasing number of
brokers. The group eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and in became an
official organization known as “The
Native Share & Stock Brokers Association”
in 1875.
On August 31, 1957, the BSE became the first stock exchange to
be recognized by the Indian Government under the Securities Contracts
Regulation Act. In 1980, the exchange moved to the Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers at Dalal
Street, Fort area
. In 1986, it developed the BSE SENSEX index, giving the BSE a means to measure the overall
performance of the exchange. In 2000, the BSE used this index to open its
derivatives market, trading SENSEX futures contracts. The development of SENSEX
options along with equity derivatives followed in 2001 and 2002, expanding the
BSE’s trading platform.








Historically an open outcry floor trading exchange, the Bombay Stock Exchange switched to an
electronic trading system developed by CMC Ltd. in 1995
. It took the
exchange only 50 days to make this transition. This automated, screen-based
trading platform called
BSE On-Line
Trading (BOLT)
had a capacity of 8
million orders per day
& also  has introduced a centralized exchange-based
internet trading system.

BSE Market Safety 

A
major objective of BSE is to promote and inculcate honorable and just practices
of trade in securities transactions, and to discourage malpractices.

The surveillance function at BSE has assumed greater importance over the last
few years. It has a dedicated Surveillance Department to keep a close, and a daily,
watch on the price movement of Securities , detect market manipulations like
price rigging, etc., monitor abnormal prices and volumes which are not
consistent with normal trading pattern and monitor the Members’ exposure levels
to ensure that defaults do not occur. This Department, which is headed by a
General Manager, reports directly to Managing Director.

As per the guidelines issued by SEBI, except for Securities on which derivative
products are available and are part of indices on which derivative products are
available, a daily Circuit Filter of 20% is applied on all Securities. Circuit
filters ensures that the price of a Security cannot move upward or downward
beyond the limit set for the day. BSE has imposed dummy circuit filters to
avoid freak trade due to punching errors by the Trading Members.









The abnormal variation in the prices as well as the volumes of the Securities
are scrutinized and appropriate actions are taken. The Securities which reach
new high or new low and companies which have high trading volumes are watched
closely. A special emphasis is laid on the newly listed Securities.

In case certain abnormalities are noticed, the circuit filters are reduced to
make it difficult for the price manipulators to increase or push down the
prices of a Security within a short period of time. BSE imposes special margins
in Securities where it suspects an attempt to ramp up the prices by creating
artificial volumes. BSE also transfers the Securities for trading and
settlement to the trade-to-trade category which leads to giving/taking delivery
of shares on a gross level and no intra-day/settlement netting off/squaring off
facility is permitted. If abnormal movements continue despite the aforesaid
measures, BSE suspends the trading in the Security.

Detailed investigations are conducted in cases where price manipulation is
suspected and disciplinary action is taken against the concerned Members.

BSE has an On-line Real Time (OLRT) Surveillance System, which has been in
operation since July 15, 1999. Under this system, alerts are generated on-line,
in real time during the trading hours, based on certain preset parameters like
the price and volume variation in Securities, a Member taking unduly large
positions not commensurate with their financial position or having concentrated
positions in one or more Securities.

This system integrates several databases like company profiles, Members’
profiles and historical data of turnover and price movement in Securities,
Members’ turnovers, their pay-in obligations, etc.

Importance of Stock Exchange :

Stock market is an important part of the economy of a
country. The stock market plays a play a pivotal role in the growth of the
industry and commerce of the country that eventually affects the economy of the
country to a great extent. That is reason that the government, industry and
even the central banks of the country keep a close watch on the happenings of
the stock market. The stock market is important from both the industry’s point
of view as well as the investor’s point of view.
Whenever a company wants to raise funds for further expansion or
settling up a new business venture, they have to either take a loan from a financial
organization or they have to issue shares through the stock market. In fact the
stock market is the primary source for any company to raise funds for business
expansions. If a company wants to raise some capital for the business it can
issue shares of the company that is basically part ownership of the company. To
issue shares for the investors to invest in the stocks a company needs to get
listed to a stocks exchange and through the primary market of the stock
exchange they can issue the shares and get the funds for business requirements.
There are certain rules and regulations for getting listed at a stock exchange
and they need to fulfill some criteria to issue stocks and go public. The stock
market is primarily the place where these companies get listed to issue the
shares and raise the fund. In case of an already listed public company, they
issue more shares to the market for collecting more funds for business
expansion. For the companies which are going public for the first time, they
need to start with the Initial Public Offering or the 
IPO. In both the cases these companies have to go through
the stock market.
This is the primary function of the stock exchange and
thus they play the most important role of supporting the growth of the industry
and commerce in the country. That is the reason that a rising stock market is
the sign of a developing industrial sector and a growing economy of the country
.
