In India, a Demat account, the abbreviation for dematerialized account, is a type of banking
account which dematerializes paper-based physical stock shares. The dematerialized account is
used to avoid holding physical shares: the shares are bought and sold through a stock broker.
This account is popular in India. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) mandates a
demat account for share trading above 500 shares. As of April 2006, it became mandatory that
any person holding a demat account should possess a Permanent Account Number (PAN), and
the deadline for submission of PAN details to the depository lapsed on January 2007.
Procedure
1. Fill Demat Request Form (DRF) (obtained from a depository participant or DP with whom
your depository account is opened).
2. Deface the share certificate(s) you want to dematerialize by writing across Surrendered for
dematerialization.
3. Submit the DRF & share certificate(s) to DP. DP would forward them to the issuer / their R&T
Agent.
4. After dematerialization, your depository account with your DP would be credited with the
dematerialized securities.
Get ready to change the way you transact and invest in financial products and services.

The benefits
Elimination of risks associated with physical certificates such as bad delivery, fake
securities, delays, thefts etc.;
Nomination facility;
Change in address recorded with DP gets registered with all companies in which investor
holds securities electronically eliminating the need to correspond with each of them
separately;
Required Documents
The extent of documentation required to open a demat account may vary according to your
relationship with the institution. If you plan to open a demat account with a bank, a savings,
current and, or other account for which the holder have been issued a check book, such holder
has an edge over the non-account holder. In fact, banks usually offer additional incentives to
customers who open a demat account with them. Along with the application form, your
Proof of Identification
Proof of Address
For proof of identification and, or address self-attested facsimile copies of PAN card, Voter’s ID,
Passport, Ration card, Driver’s license, Photo credit card, Employee ID card, Bank attestation,
latest IT returns and, or latest Electricity/Landline phone bill are sufficient. While they only ask
for photocopies of the documents, they will need the originals for verification.
Points to Remember
1. Only securities admitted by NSDL can be dematerialized. The list is available with your
DP.
2. Only securities registered in the name of the account holder can be dematerialized.
3. Dematerialization is normally completed within 15 days after the share certificates have
reached the issuer/ their R&T Agent. Thus it may take you a month from the date you
hand over shares, to receive demat credit.
4. Dematerialization would be done only when the issuer / their R&T Agent is satisfied of
genuineness of securities & ownership status.
5. All the joint holders should sign the DRF.
6. The pattern of holding in the DRF should match the pattern of holding on the share
certificate & the pattern in which account is opened.
7. Demat requests with name(s) not matching exactly with the name(s) appearing on the
certificates merely on account of initials not being spelt out fully or put after or prior to
Institute of Management & Information Science, Bhubaneswar (2009-11) Page | 41
Summer Internship Report
the surname, would be processed, provided the signature(s) of the client(s) on the DRF
tallies with the specimen signature(s) available with the issuer/ their R & T agent.
8. If the signature in the DRF does not match with the signature available with the issuer/
their R & T agent, the issuer/ their R & T agent may at the time of demat confirmation,
ask for additional documentation (like bank attestation/ notarisation, etc.) to prove that
the certificate belongs to the person who forwarded the DRF.
9. In case there is any problem in processing the DRF, contact you’re DP and if he cannot
resolve the problem you may contact NSDL.
DISADVANTAGES:-
1. Comparatively twice the delay in opening account initially. Took
20+ days.
2. Inconvenient security token without security you can’t trade.
3. It creates inconvenience and discomfort more than security.
4. Poor trading portal is not compatible with Firefox or Opera.
5. Poor customers service no response to emails most of time.
Otherwise it will take many days to get an email response to email
them.

KEY LEARNINGS
Apart from the assigned roles and responsibilities, the Centre manager facilitate
me with a training which covers the product details of Reliance Money, and how
they are cheaper than other broking house, about their corporate culture,
organizational structure, sales methodology, Tele-calling, Application handling,
grievances handling with respect to customers etc.
Regarding customer handling they provide me with a database for cold call. As
it is my first experience in Tele-calling, I got tense due to the harsh responses.
Later by realizing the responses from the prospective lead calls boost my
confidence in Tele-calling.
The relationship manager of Ranchi Branch taught me to handle the application
and other stuff which was important with respect to application processing.
From the Dealer I have learned how to use the Power trade platform to trade
(Buy and Sell) fast. Trading as intraday needs concentration and speed when
compared with delivery type of trading
MAJOR FINDINGS
I have considered the following parameters for identifying the reason for the
poor performance of that particular branch.
They are,
Visibility of outlet
Infrastructure facilities
Nearest competitors
Area potentiality
Sales activities
Visibility of outlet
The office of Reliance Money Limited located in business area but the visibility
of the outlet has a problem because there is no display board or banner of
Reliance Money front of office building. Many time clients search our office but
they hardly found because there is no display board of Reliance Money.
Infrastructure facilities
Infrastructure facilities are not up to the mark, AC is not in good condition and
finally very important factor that is parking facilities is very small.
Customer is not very much satisfied with the services because there is not a very good system of
follow up by the company. This is leading to dissatisfaction among the clients or customers of
Reliance Money.
Bad word of mouth
Past experiences of customers, which were not good enough, are leading to unfavorable publicity
of the company. This is a becoming a problem for generation of new leads and therefore the
company is losing business somehow.
Lack of awareness about services offered
There is lack of awareness amongst people about the services offered by Reliance Money.
People know Reliance Money as a brand but due to lesser advertisement and promotional
activities, they still do not know what this company is all about.
Target Market
From the research it can be found out the major investors belong to middle income group who
keep around 5% - 15% of their income for investment purposes. So it is very clear from that the
target market or potential investors are coming from middle income group.
Position of Reliance Money in market
People are very much aware of Reliance Money as a brand but still at this point of time market
leader in the industry is ICICI direct. However, Reliance Money is not very behind as the new
investors entering into the market want to open their account with Reliance Money. So, it has a
good business potential in the future.
The most vital problem spotted is of ignorance. Investors should be made aware of the benefits.
Nobody will invest until and unless he is fully convinced. Investors should be made to realize
that ignorance is no longer bliss and what they are losing by not investing.
After sales services and follow up calls are important for getting new references so trained
telesales should be appointed for this purpose whose sole work should be to make feedback
calls.
Reliance is having too many financial products right from DEMAT account to General
Insurance and not all the salespeople are familiar with each and every product so the work
force should be segregated each group dealing in a specific product and the sales target
should be given likewise.
While interacting with the investors I found that most of the customers are unaware about
the Mutual fund. Some of the people look upon mutual funds and equity trading as
gambling. Thus a mutual fund awareness program can help to increase the penetration of
mutual funds in the market.
Reliance should declare in black ink that they will charge just 1 paisa per transaction.
People tend to think that there must be some hidden charges.
Rs750 account opening charges are too high when targeting a corporate so the company
should be flexible on this amount.
Reliance should provide periodic training for updating the product knowledge of various
financial advisors.
Company should have a scheme of rewards and recognition to employees and the field
persons to boost their motivation.
There must be proper advertisement of the company by various media like Exhibition,
Press releases, Newspaper, and Television etc.
Suggestions
Proper Follow up
After sales services and follow up calls are important for getting new references. So trained Tele-
callers should be appointed for this purpose whose sole work should be to make feedback calls.
Regular customer meets should be arranged to know the satisfaction level of the customers.
Product Specialization
Reliance is having too many financial products right from DEMAT account to General Insurance
and not all the salespeople are familiar with each and every product so the work force should be
segregated each group dealing in a specific product and the sales target should be given likewise.
Suggestion Boxes
There should be provision of complain suggestion boxes at each branch so that the problems of
customers can be dealt with. This can be an effective system for showing hospitality towards
customers.
Customer Education
The customer should be educated about the stock market to overcome his fear of uncertainty in
these markets and must be assured of expert advice in case of market fluctuations. The customer
should also be educated about the benefits of investment in stock markets over other investment
schemes.
