 The Bombay Stock Exchange traces its history
to 1855, when four Gujarati and one Parsi
stockbroker would gather under banyan trees in
front of Mumbai's Town Hall.
 The location of these meetings changed many
times as the number of brokers constantly
increased. The group eventually moved to Dalal
Street in 1874 and in 1875 became an official
organization known as "The Native Share &
Stock Brokers Association".

4.  On 31 August 1957, the BSE became the first
stock exchange to be recognized by the Indian
Government under the Securities Contracts
Regulation Act.

performance of the exchange.

equity derivatives followed in 2001 and 2002,
expanding the BSE's trading platform.
 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 fifty days to make this
transition

called BSE On-line trading (BOLT) had a capacity

23. Important functions of stock exchange are as
follows:
(1) Providing Liquidity and Marketability to
Existing Securities:
 Stock exchange is a market place where
previously issued securities are traded. Various
types of securities are traded here on regular
basis.
 Whenever required, an investor can invest his
money through this market into securities and can
reconvert this investment into cash. Availability of
ready market for sale and purchase of securities
increases their marketability and enhances
liquidity.

24. (2) Pricing of Securities:
 A stock exchange provides platform to deal in securities. The
forces of demand and supply work freely in the stock exchange.
In this way, prices of securities are determined
(3) Safety of Transactions:
 Stock exchanges are organised markets. They fully protect the
interest of investors. Each stock exchange has its own laws and
bye-laws. Each member of stock exchange has to follow them
and if any member is found violating them, his membership is
cancelled.
 For instance, if any broker working in stock exchange charges
more commission than stipulated from any investor or misleads
him in any other way, then the management committee of the
stock exchange can fine the broker and even his membership
can be cancelled

25. (4) Contributes to Economic Growth:
 A stock exchange provides liquidity to
securities. This gives the investor a double
benefit-first, the benefit of the change in the
market price of securities can be taken
advantage of, and secondly, in case of need
for money they can be sold at the existing
market price at any time.
 These advantages provided by the share
market encourage the people to invest their
money in securities. In this way, people’s
money gets invested in industries and
economic development becomes possible

26. (5) Spreading Equity Cult:
 Share market collects every type of information
(more particularly about their economic condition)
in respect of the listed companies. Generally, this
information is published or in case of need
anybody can get it from the stock exchange free
of any cost.
 In this way, the stock exchange guides the
investors by providing various types of
information. Consequently, the number of
shareholders in companies is increasing
continuously. Thus, the stock exchanges are
playing a vital role in ensuring wider share
ownership

27. (6) Providing Scope for Speculation:
 When securities are purchased with a view to
getting profit as a result of change in their
market price, it is called speculation. It is
allowed or permitted under the provisions of
the relevant Act. It is accepted that in order to
provide liquidity to securities, some scope for
speculation must be allowed. The share
market provides this facility.
