Regulation (2006)
by Dr. L. C. Gupta, Naveen Jain and Anil Kumar
ISBN : 81-902410-1-X Price Rs. 200/-

corporate managements about share buybacks.
The present study is the first systematic Indian study on various aspects
of share buyback practices from the viewpoint of those directly affected,
i.e. the companies and their shareholders. Better understanding is needed about when and in
what form share buyback could be beneficial to companies as well as to their
shareholders. The present book will help to develop clearer understanding.

3. India's Stock Market
and Household Investors 2001-04 (2004)
by L.C. Gupta, Naveen Jain and Utpal K. Choudhury
ISBN 81-902410-0-1 Price Rs. 300/-
The study presents a
critical review of the structure and functioning of the Indian stock
market, focusing on the period 2001-04. This period witnessed Ketan Parekh
led market scam of March 2001 and the UTI-crisis of July 2001.
Far-reaching changes followed. We evaluate the developments from the angle
of retail investors. We had conducted an all-India survey of household
investors in Apr-Jun 2001. There were fast developments, and therefore we
surveyed again in Sep-Oct 2002. Other related data for the subsequent
period has also been included in order to present an integrated picture of
developments. An innovative approach is to keep the spot-light on what
investors explicitly stated as their biggest worries. This can be
particularly helpful in sharpening the regulatory focus and aligning it to
the investors' needs.
