Ulrike Malmendier is an economist at the University of California At Berkeley, who argues that the share market actually exists in the world from an ancient Roman time. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange is one of the European oldest stock exchanges which were established in 1585 in Frankfurt am Main.

It was time back to the 18 th century when trading in securities was started in our India for the first time by East India Company, where the stock trading was unorganized at that time. The scene was same until the end of 19 th century. There were only two chief trading centers in India these are Calcutta and Bombay stock exchanges. At that time Bombay was considered the main trading port where essential commodities were traded in 1860 (A time of American civil war). At that time, it was just the concept, thought, and Idea about stock exchanges. The market was actually situated under the banyan tree with only 12-15 brokers in front of town hall in Bombay. These brokers organized an association in an informal way only in 1875. It was known by the "Native shares and stock brokers Association". Actually, it was considered the starting of the best history of our Indian stock exchanges.

NSE was established in 1992 and itis located in Mumbai. It is considered as the leading stock exchange of India. It was the first one which provided the facilities of securities in the electronic form where all the process of buying and selling of all the kinds of securities are done in the computerized manner so that it is helpful to make available all the facilities of shares and other securities to every investor of each corner of the country. When P. V. Narasimha Rao was the Prime minister of India and Manmohan Singh was the finance minister of India then NSE was incorporated in 1992 as the Taxpaying company and it came to be known by everyone in 1993 under the Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956. The operations in the Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) and the Capital Market segment were commenced by NSE in 1994 whereas the operation in Derivative segment was commenced in 2000.

An Index is the barometer of Indian stock market where stocks of various companies are used by the investors in India. An Index is a statistical tool which is used to measure the relative price of stocks. This is also known as the stock market index. NSE has one of the most popular indexes known as NIFTY50 where top fifty company's stock prices are measured on their total market capitalization. exchanges in India and as well as suggested about the important information regarding the cost of issuing the shares and other securities which must be low in order to protect the small investor as their larger proportion of savings is invested in issuing share and securities.

L. C. Gupta (1992) he has done an extensive study regarding return on new equity issues which describes that there should be a separate analysis about having an investment on new issues of equity shares where the most preference is given to the new companies who must require having a separate analysis. The most important factor which influences the rates of return on new issues is the 'fixed price' they are issued to its original buyers. The return on equity must include dividends and as well as its capital appreciation. This is considered as having the sound estimation of rates of return on equities and estimates the variability of such return over time. Also, since high speculation leads to the high concentration in the market then there should be a short -term speculation in the market, so that it will leads to the artificial price.

Nabhi Kumar Jain (1992):-he specified certain kinds of tips for buying the shares, for holding the shares and also for selling shares. He suggested that the investors must buy the shares of growing company of growing industry where he also suggested buying the shares of growth companies but in a diversifying ways where the number of the companies are dealing in equally fast growing sectors of the economy. He also suggested about the time of selling the shares where the actual timing of selling the shares of these company must be the time when the company reached to the peak of its growth. Also, it was advised to have an immediate sells of shares at the moment when we realized that we had made a mistake in purchasing of these shares. The most important decision is to decide the option to buy or sell the shares i.e. when to buy and sell high priced shares only by identifying the individual merit or demerit of each of the shares in the portfolio and arrives at a certain level of decision.

Earlier it was founded that all the trading were done on the manually which, was very difficult to maintain a record and also founded very much time consuming factors. Therefore, NSE was the one which brought-up the online trading facilities so that it becomes very easy to trade the securities and also it is considered less time consuming than earlier.

Professional Clearing Member (PCM) As we all know that there are various kinds of changes which get introduced from time to time such as the changes are in the technology system, compression of settlement cycle, dematerialization and electronic transfer of the securities, securities lending and borrowing, professionalization of clearing member, fined-tune risk management system, emergence of clearing corporation to assume the counterparty risk etc. It follows the system of account period of cash market transaction and then they implement the T+2 rolling settlement.

Due to the time gap between the trading and their settlements then this leads to the rise in the settlement risks. So to get rid of these kinds of problems the exchange and clearing corporation introduced the risk management practices so that there should be timely settlements of trade and also tried to set the margin and capital adequacy standards for the protection of the interest of the investors.

As we all knows that there are two types of depositories in India. They are:-NSDL (National Securities and Depository Limited) and CSDL (Central Securities Depository Limited) which help to transfer the securities and to settlement in the dematerialized form.

All the kinds of problems were settled in the demat forms. Here, there are two important depository participants known as

Played the important role in the transfer of pooled securities to each other's account to whom it required the most. Member has their pool accounts where a lot of securities are gathered together and the clearing agency has their settlements accounts. The pay in and pay out effect the accounts in the same days where the fund's requirement were met by the banks (with whom they were connected).

The members are informed electronically where the required funds were made available to the clearing bank within the prescribed pay in days. When clearing agency forward the obligation funds with the help of clearing bank then the clearing bank debit the member's account and just credit the clearing agency's account. Sometimes clearing agency debits the member's accounts and credits their accounts by their own. c) On the pay-out day Clearing banks transfer the available funds from the accounts of the clearing agency to the accounts of members as per the member's obligation.

The pay-in and pay out funds as well as securities take place within two working days after the trading date.

After that he tries to find out his broker, as people may not have the exact knowledge of trading or maybe they are so busy in his/her life that he/she does not have a much time to look out for his/her trading. 5. After finding out his broker he tries to place his order for buying and selling his shares. 6. And then that order is converted into its real and exact trade as soon as it finds the right match of buy or sells of securities. 7. This trade is so clear and so determined to have fair trading which helps to deliver the securities/funds.
