A Guide for Foreign and Domestic Investors.
This is the first book to present a comprehensive overview of the operations, regulations and important developments in the Indian capital markets which both foreign and domestic investors will find immensely useful - as will the various market players and participants.
The Indian securities market is an emerging market with enormous growth potential, and a key to the country`s future economic prosperity. However, since its practices and regulations have not been documented in an investor-friendly manner, it is often perceived as puzzling and difficult to understand. This book sets right the lacuna.
The author provides a meticulous analysis and description of the Indian capital market based on his experience as an investment banker in both developed and developing countries. The topics described include:
* Regulatory and legal framework of the Indian securities market; roles of market regulatory bodies.
* Indian stock exchanges: organization, membership, trading mechanism and stock indices
* Trading rules and practices for stocks and debt instruments
* Custody, settlement and clearing issues - procedures and problems
* Investing in new issues - disclosure and accounting practices of Indian companies
* Characteristics of the Indian debt market, types of debt instruments, rating agencies
* Market participants and how they operate
* Emerging developments such as electronic trading, dematerialization of stocks, depositories, stock lending and share buy-back.
Highlights for foreign investors:
* Foreign investors eligible to invest in India; investment routes and options
* Portfolio investment by foreign investors: rules, regulations and procedures
* Taxation rates and bilateral tax treaties.
Significant differences in norms and practices between India, US and UK - for instance GAAP and disclosure requirements.
