Answer 1

1. Stock Exchanges: A stock exchange is an association or organisation that facilitates, regulates, and controls the buying, selling, and trading of securities. It is a regulated and official market in which listed securities can be purchased and traded during designated working hours. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) are the largest stock exchanges in India.
2. Stock Brokers: Members of a stock exchange are known as stock brokers. Securities cannot be immediately purchased and sold on a stock exchange. Stock brokers serve as middlemen between securities purchasers and sellers. Stock brokers are required for anyone wishing to purchase or sell shares, debentures, or other listed securities.
