46. Commercial bill Market
 A commercial bill is one which arises out of a
genuine trade transaction, i.e. credit transaction. As
soon as goods are sold on credit, the seller draws a
bill on the buyer for the amount due. The buyer
accepts it immediately agreeing to pay amount
mentioned therein after a certain specified date.
Thus, a bill of exchange contains a written order
from the creditor to the debtor, to pay a certain sum,
to a certain person, after a creation period. A bill of
exchange is a ‘self-liquidating’ paper and negotiable;
it is drawn always for a short period ranging between
3 months and 6 months.

48. THE CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT MARKET
The scheme of Certificate of Deposit (CD) was
introduced by RBI in 1989. The main purpose of
CD is to enable the commercial banks to raise
funds from the market. The CDs maturity period
ranges from 7 days to 1 year (in case of FIs
minimum 1 year and maximum 3 years). The
CDs are issued at a discount to its face value.
The CDs are issued in denomination of Rs. 1
lakh and thereafter, multiples of Rs. 1 lakh. The
holder is entitled to receive a fixed rate of
interest and have no lock-in period.

49. HOW CDS WORK
CDs typically require a minimum deposit, and may offer
higher rates for larger deposits. The best rates are
generally offered on "Jumbo CDs" with minimum deposits
of $100,000.
The consumer who opens a CD may receive a paper
certificate, but it is now common for a CD to consist
simply of a book entry and an item shown in the
consumer's periodic bank statements; that is, there is
often no "certificate" as such. Consumers who wish to
have a hard copy verifying their CD purchase may
request a paper statement from the bank or print out their
own from the financial institution's online banking service.

51. The Commercial Paper Market
The scheme of Commercial Paper (CP) was introduced in 1990.
Blue chip companies for short term financing issue CPs. As per
RBI guidelines, CPs can be issued on the following conditions:
The minimum tangible net worth of the company to be at least
Rs. 4 crores.
The CP receives a minimum rating of A-2 or such other rating
from recognized rating agencies like CRISIL, CARE, ICRA, Fitch
Ratings, etc.
The company has been sanctioned working capital limit by bank/s
or all-India FIs.
The CPs maturity period ranges from 7 days to 1 year.They can be
issued in multiples of Rs. 5 lakhs and in multiples thereof.They
are sold at a discount to its face value and redeemed at its face
value.

53. REPO MARKET
 A repurchase agreement, also known as a repo,
RP, or sale and repurchase agreement, is the sale
of securities together with an agreement for the
seller to buy back the securities at a later date.
 The repurchase price should be greater than the
original sale price, the difference effectively
representing interest, sometimes called the repo
rate. The party that originally buys the securities
effectively acts as a lender. The original seller is
effectively acting as a borrower, using their
security as collateral for a secured cash loan at a
fixed rate of interest.

54. REVERSE REPO
 A reverse repo is simply the same repurchase
agreement from the buyer's viewpoint, not the seller's.
Hence, the seller executing the transaction would
describe it as a "repo", while the buyer in the same
transaction would describe it a "reverse repo". The
term "reverse repo and sale" is commonly used to
describe the creation of a short position in a debt
instrument where the buyer in the repo transaction
immediately sells the security provided by the seller
on the open market.
 On the settlement date of the repo, the buyer
acquires the relevant security on the open market and
delivers it to the seller. In such a short transaction the
seller is wagering that the relevant security will decline
in value between the date of the repo and the
settlement date.

55.  The MMMFs were introduced in 1992. The
objective of MMMFs is to provide an additional
short term avenue to the individual investors. In
1995, RBI modified the scheme to allow private
sector organizations to setup MMMFs.
 The scheme has been made more attractive to
investors by reducing lock in period from 45 days
to 15 days. Resources mobilized from MMMFs are
required to be invested in call money, CDs, CPs,
commercial bills, treasury bills, and government
dated securities having an unexpired maturity of
up to 1 year.

56.  A mutual fund is a type of professionally
managed collective investment vehicle that
pools money from many investors to purchase
securities.
 They are sometimes referred to as "investment
companies" or "registered investment
companies." Most mutual funds are "open-
ended," meaning investors can buy or sell
shares of the fund at any time. Hedge funds are
not considered a type of mutual fund.

58. Drawbacks of Indian
Money Market

59. Absence of Integration
The Indian money market is broadly divided into the
Organized and Unorganized Sectors. The former
comprises the legal financial institutions backed by
the RBI. The unorganized statement of it includes
various institutions such as indigenous bankers,
village money lenders, traders, etc. There is lack of
proper integration between these two segments.

60. Multiple rate of interest
In the Indian money market, especially the
banks, there exists too many rates of interests.
These rates vary for lending, borrowing,
government activities, etc. Many rates of
interests create confusion among the
investors.

61. Insufficient Funds or Resources
The Indian economy with its seasonal structure
faces frequent shortage of financial recourse.
Lower income, lower savings, and lack of
banking habits among people are some of the
reasons for it.

62. Shortage of Investment Instruments
In the Indian money market, various investment
instruments such as Treasury Bills, Commercial
Bills, Certificate of Deposits, Commercial
Papers, etc. are used. But taking into account
the size of the population and market these
instruments are inadequate.

63. Lack of Organized Banking System
In India even through we have a big network of
commercial banks, still the banking system suffers
from major weaknesses such as the NPA, huge
losses, poor efficiency. The absence of the organized
banking system is major problem for Indian money
market.

64. Less number of Dealers
There are poor number of dealers in the short-
term assets who can act as mediators
between the government and the banking
system. The less number of dealers leads to
the slow contact between the end lender and
end borrowers.

66. Capital markets are financial markets for the buying and
selling of long-term debt- or equity-backed securities.
These markets channel the wealth of savers to those
who can put it to long-term productive use, such as
companies or governments making long-term
investments. Financial regulators, such as the UK's
Bank of England (BoE) or the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), oversee the capital
markets in their jurisdictions to protect investors
against fraud, among other duties.

idle savings from the economy. It mobilizes funds
from people for further investments in the
productive channels of an economy. In that sense it

formation is net addition to the existing stock of
capital in the economy. Through mobilization of ideal
resources it generates savings; the mobilized savings

the national economy. As it makes funds available for
long period of time, the financial requirements of

by generation of employment and development of
infrastructure.

mobilization, but it also helps in proper
allocation of these resources. It can have
regulation over the resources so that it can
direct funds in a qualitative manner.

71. As an important financial set up capital market
provides various types of services. It includes
long term and medium term loans to industry,
underwriting services, consultancy services,
export finance, etc. These services help the
manufacturing sector in a large spectrum.

72. Capital market is place where the investment avenue is
continuously available for long term investment. This
is a liquid market as it makes fund available on
continues basis. Both buyers and seller can easily buy
and sell securities as they are continuously available.
Basically capital market transactions are related to
the stock exchanges. Thus marketability in the capital
market becomes easy.

company does not depend on a single investor.The diversification of
investment reduces the overall risk.
 Reduction in cost - Prospectus containing all details about the
securities are given to the investors hence reducing the cost is searching
and assessing the individual securities.

capital.
