History of BSE:
Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is an oldest stock exchange in Asia. It was started in 1875 as “The Negative Share and Stock Brokers Association”. There is a story behind to BSE i: e, since 1850’s Four Gujarati and One Parsi or parsee (which indicates Parsis derived from a group of Persian Zoroastrians who came to India during 10th century AD) stockbrokers have met in Town Hall of Mumbai. This is an informal meeting among them. Time gone, no of brokers were increased then they would like to convert this meeting as a formal one. So they had found a place in 1874 at DALAL STREET and they made their office DS. It is become an official organisation in 1875, called “The Negative Share and Stock Brokers Association”. BSE was acknowledged by Indian government in 1956 under Securities Contracts Regulation Act (SCRA). An electronic trading system was introduced by BSE in 1995 i: e, BOLT – (BSE On line Trading) which has a capacity to make 8 million orders per day.
