IMPORTANT TERMS OF STOCK MARKET


Scrip Share

A share given to the existing shareholders without any charge—also known as bonus share.


Sweat Share

A share given to the employees of the company without any charge.

Rolling Settlement

An important reform measure started in the Indian stock market in mid-2001 under which all commitments of sale and purchase result into payment/delivery at the end of the ‘X’ days later (where ‘X’ stands for 5 days. Some shares have X as one, two or three days, too). Today, all shares are covered under this provision.
