The Stock Exchange is recognized under Securities Contracts Regulation Act. Earlier the Stock Exchange was having very good volume. The broker members were doing huge volume on the floor of the stock exchange. Subsequently after the commencement of National Stock Exchange and on-line computerized trading, the volume on the regional Stock Exchanges faced the decreased trend and as a result, the regional stock exchanges were facing difficulties of reduced liquidity, volume and dept. Recently, in the month of December 1999, SEBI has permitted the regional stock exchange to acquire membership of bigger stock exchanges like BSE and NSE by forming a subsidiary company and thereby to provide trading platform to the brokers of regional stock exchanges. Accordingly, many stock exchanges have floated subsidiary company for acquiring membership of BSE or NSE. Our stock exchange has also floated a subsidiary company namely SKSE Securities Limited which is a 100% subsidiary of Saurashtra Kutch Stock Exchange Ltd. This subsidiary has acquired membership of BSE and NSE and it has got SEBI registration also and got permission for trading from the Stock Exchange, Mumbai and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd., Mumbai. Our subsidiary is also a Depository Participant of CDSL.[1]
