some few of the branches are not yet connected
through the VSAT.

2. LESS ADVERTISEMENT SPILLS:

SHCIL has less advertisement spill compared to
its main competitor like Kodak securities, HDFC,
IDBI bank, and ICICI bank. These are also
producing the facilities of banking services and
other related services to the customers.

OPPO RTUNITIES:
1. LARGE RURAL/SEMI-URBAN ARES ARE
STILL UNEXPLORED:
SHCIL has a growing structure of its branch
network but still our rural and urban areas are not

its growth. This field can enhance great
opportunities and can alleviate their position in
the market.

THREATS:
1. CHARGES ARE HIGHER:
Indian customers have less money at their
disposal. Since SHCIL is the No.1 in the custodial
sector in the market and for providing the best
services, it has higher charges detrimental for
small investors.

2. TIE UP WITH EXTERNAL AGENCY:

phenomenon in the market to beat the competition
and create a place for itself. The merger and tie-

CONCLUSION
As the average income of the people living in Shimla is not so high due
to which the people are much tentative to the insurance product than the
other investment opportunities. The investment consciousness in Shimla
is not so high due to which they are not able to make the best use of their
savings.

The investment is limited to very few products. The general tendency of

normal investor is precautious; the investor invests into a limited range
of products. The investor is comfortable only with pristine products. The
investor is more leaned towards long term and safe financial products.
That is why LIC insurance has maximum coverage in this stratum. It
was also found that investment of single investor is also diversified to
other financial products. Many of the investors were invested through
multiple financial products.
Even Stock Holding Corporation of India Ltd. has great appeal in
general masses but still the awareness regarding the Stock Holding
Corporation (SHCIL) is less. However, people trust SHCIL for their
investments.
