Kotak Securities provides its customers a trading window to execute its trading orders on the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd (NSE) as well as the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

An NRI Customer can place both market and limit orders.

Limit order is an order wherein the trader/investor provides a maximum price per unit of a Buy order and the minimum price per unit of a Sell order. The actual transaction can be at a price more favorable than the price predefined by the investor.

Market Orders have different interpretations for both NSE and BSE.

Market Orders in NSE: This is an order to buy or sell securities at the best price available in the market at the time the order is routed to the exchange. Thus increasing the chances of the execution of the order. In case of market orders for NSE, all market orders placed which are not executed become limit orders at the last traded price. Where a market order is not executed fully, it becomes a limit order for the balance quantity at the last traded price.

Market Orders in BSE :

In case of market orders placed on BSE: The market orders are routed to the Exchange with the best offer for a buy market order and for a sell market order the order will be routed with the best bid offer. At any point of time during the market hours it is found that a particular bid or offer is no longer present in the exchange this market order gets cancelled suomoto by the exchange. In case of part execution of market order, the remainder order gets converted into alimit order at the last executed price.

Market orders can be placed only during market hours – 9.15am -3.30pm IST

The NRI investor can trade in shares which are there in the Cash segment which are traded in the exchanges i.e. NSE and BSE. There has been seen a steady rise in the number of companies getting listed in these exchanges thus increasing the number of securities an investor can trade in.

An NRI customer can invest in the market through the online mode :website online trading / keatproX / Kotak stock trading (mobile app). Alternatively the customer can also place orders in the market over the phone "call & trade".

Once the order is placed in the market. The NRI investor can check the status of the order on real time basis by monitoring the 'check order status' on the website online trading.

Once the order is executed/ traded, a digitally signed contract notes is generated which provides the investor with all the details of the transaction. The same is sent via e-mail to the registered email ID for the orders executed during the trading day. Also the digitally signed contract notes are also made available on the trading platform for future references for the investor.

It is possible that an order which is accepted by the exchange but the trade does not get executed. This is generally seen in case of a limit order, where it might remain totally unexecuted if there is no matching order.

For example, if a trader places a sell order for 100 shares @ Rs. 100 per share. It might remain totally unexecuted if there are no buyers or buy orders for the share for a price of Rs. 100 or more. Further, an order can get executed for any quantity less than or equal to the order quantity. On part execution, the original order is converted into an order for the balance quantity against which another trade can happen. Since these are different trades, it is possible that the trades are executed at different price.

In case of market orders placed on NSE, even a market order might remain unexecuted if there are no matching orders. In such cases, the unexecuted portion of the market order is converted into a limit order at the last traded price for the balance quantity. For example, when the last traded price of a share was Rs. 100, if a market order is placed to sell 100 shares, the sell order will be matched against all limit orders for buying the shares. In case there are no or insufficient orders for buying 100 shares, the unexecuted market order is converted automatically into a limit order to buy sell 100 shares at a price of Rs. 100 (the last traded price). In case the order was partly executed and the last execution took place at Rs. 95, the price of the limit order for the balance quantity would be Rs. 95.

In case of market orders placed on BSE, all buy market orders go to the Exchange with the price of the best offer and all sell market orders go to the exchange with the price of the best bid offer. In case at that point of time it is found that that particular bid or offer is no longer present in the exchange this market order gets cancelled by the exchange. In case of part execution of market order, the remainder order gets converted into a limit order at the last executed price

The NRI investor does have an option of modifying an order which is already placed but not executed. The same can be done through the online portal, where the customer has an option of “Modify” an order. However one must note that the modify an order option will not work if the order is already queued with the respective exchanges .i.e. confirmation is awaited from the exchange for the acceptance of the placement of the order or any modification/cancellation request. In case the order is already partly executed, only the unexecuted portion of the order can be modified.

The NRI customer does have an option of cancelling the order at any point of time before the execution of the trade. In case the order is already partly executed, only the unexecuted portion of the order can be cancelled.

Yes, The customer can route orders in the market post the market hours for the day. Orders placed after trading hours are queued in the system and are send to the exchange whenever the exchange next opens for trading. The same can be placed just by selecting the AMO (after market order) option while placing an new order in the market.

The basic funding in the account will happen through the customers savings account – (NRE/NRO) Whenever the customer wants to trade in the secondary market the customer needs to have his PIS (NRE/NRO) account funded. It is only after the PIS account is funded that the customer gets a window to execute his transactions in the market.

Once the PIS account is funded the customer gets a freeway to trade with the amount available in the PIS account. When a buy order is routed the amount in the PIS account gets debited and the NRI Demat Account get credited with the number of shares provided the order gets executed in the market. Similarly when a sell order is routed the shares gets debited from the demat account and the funds once realized are credited to the PIS account.

The transfer of funds from the Savings Account (NRE/NRO) to the PIS account can be facilitated through the Online trading platform. The same cannot be done through the banking platform.The customer can easily transfer 'From' savings account 'To' PIS account & viceversa. Once the same has been selected the investor comes to know about his current balances in said accounts. The transfer needs to be initiated by the customer through this section. It is an instant transfer and the trades can be executed post the PIS account funding.

The trade executions are confirmed online and the trading history is updated immediately. The customer can check the same in Check Order Status, on website online trading. The status of each order is updated on a real-time basis. In addition, you will receive e-mail confirmations. You can choose to receive the e-mail confirmation either for each trade when it is executed or a single one for all trades at the end of the day. The contract note will be send to you by mail at the end of the day. The contract notes also get updated on the trading platform in the contract notes section for the customers future reference.

Contract note is a statement of confirmation of trade(s) done on a particular day for and on behalf of a client. A contract note is issued in the prescribed format and manner, establishing a legally enforceable relationship between the member and client in respect to the trades stated in that contract note. Contract notes are made in duplicate, where the member and client both keep one copy each.

The customer can view the stocks held by him online at any point of time by visiting the DP – Demat section. It is here that the customer can also get a demat transaction history for a set period. This is useful for an investor to keep a tab on his Investments.

AMO stands for After Market Order. It is a facility that Kotaksecurities.com extends to its customers whereby they can place orders even after the trading hours of a particular day, to match your time zone.

An AMO has the following advantages:

• It allows the customer to place an order even after the regular trading hours (9.00 a.m. to 3.30 p.m.) during which time he /she might have been busy.
• Based on the fluctuations in the Market on a particular day and taking into account factors such as the closing price of a particular scrip, recommendations on scrips given by Kotak Securities.com, the customer might want to place an order using AMO which would be executed when the market opens the next day.

Now customers can place After Market Orders after the trading hours of a day. The process is simple and AMO's can be placed in two ways:

• After Market Orders can be placed by the customer himself by logging into his Kotak Securities trading account and choosing AMO.This facility is available in the time slots mentioned below:

Anytime between 3.30 p.m. to 1.00 a.m.

Anytime between 4.30 a.m. to 9.00 a.m.

An AMO can be placed with a price band of +/-5% of the closing price at the end of the day. Any AMO for scrip that is beyond this price band would not be placed.

All AMO orders will be placed in the market in the order of the price bands i.e all market orders will be placed first and then all orders on the basis of price band would be placed in ascending order.

Any AMO order placed can get cancelled before it getting placed at the exchange, in the absence of sufficient margins at the beginning of the day margin calculation process. Hence clients are requested to check the orders status during the market hours in the order report to find the status of the AMO order placed.

It is advisable to place limit orders i.e at a specific price that is more or less closer to the previous day's closing price instead of market orders i.e orders where price is quoted at 0, as there is a possibility of getting a freak rate because market orders are executed at the best possible counter rate.

eg. Reliance Industries closing price on 10/11/2005 is Rs.785.72

In case an AMO market order (i.e rate is 0) is placed for buy 100 shs of reliance and if this is the first buy trade to hit the market on 11/11/2005 and on the other end if the first sell trade to hit the market is Rs 825/- then the buy order would get executed at Rs. 825/- which would be a very high buy.

NOTE: The time period between 1.00 a.m. to 4.30 a.m. will be utilized for site maintenance and any AMO placed during this time will not be executed and a message stating the same will appear.

• After Market Orders can also be placed through CALL & TRADE FACILITY also and our customer care executives will place the order on your behalf. The customer can place an order on phone by calling at 1800 209 9191 (toll free from landline and mobile) 3030 5757 (To dial from mobile phone prefix your city STD code.) 1800 222 299 in the time slots mentioned below:

Anytime between 3.30 p.m. to 5.00 p.m. & 5.30 p.m. to 6.00 pm in the evening

For particular scrip, An AMO can be placed with a price band of +/-5% of the closing price at the end of the day. Any AMO for scrip that is beyond this price band would not be executed.

For example:

If the closing price of a scrip X on Monday is 100 Rs., the customer can place an AMO within the price band of Rs. 95 to Rs.105.
