Bse has simply grouped the stocks in the equity segment into the below-given groups. It is based on certain types of qualitative and even quantitative parameters. Moreover, such a thing was done for the overall guidance and also for the advantage of the investors. The prime bse groups are a’, then ‘b’, ‘t’, and even ‘z’ groups.

Group a

This group has the stocks which get most actively traded in the realm of bse stock exchange. You can easily read the criteria for “a” group companies once you explore the specific group. For now, all you should understand that this group owns the actively traded stocks.

Group t

This is the group that includes the stocks that are simply settled on a trade-to-trade type of basis. There is no intra-day trading permitted for such types of shares that fall under this group. It is for this reason that the delivery of these stocks is grounded on a t+2 basis.

Group z

This group is the one that got introduced in the year 1999. This group includes the companies that simply have failed to comply with any sort of the below-given conditions:

  • The needs for the exchange’s listing.
  • Those companies have simply been unsuccessful to resolve the complaints registered by the investors.
  • The companies simply have not made the precondition requirements with the depositories, that is, cdsl as well as nsdl for dematerialization of their overall securities.

Group b

This is the group that is made up of the companies that do not fall under the above-mentioned groups i.e. A t and even z.

Other types of categories:

Group g

This is the group that owns government securities that get traded by retail investors.

Group f

Now, this is the group that includes fixed income securities of the overall debt market segment.

Group xd, xc,xt,x

You know some stocks are also there that have been also classified into sub-segments as x as well as xt. Xt include all those stocks that are just listed on bse and are simply settled on a trade-to-trade grounds. Other stocks that are just listed on bse fall under the sub-category x. Previously there were just xc and even xd groups that were later blended into group x on the day of 24th November 2017.

Quick points that you should know about:

  • India primarily has two stock exchanges: the national stock exchange (NSE) and the Bombay stock exchange (BSE).
  • NSE has characterized its listed stocks from the view of investors. On the other side, bse has characterized from the overall view of the stocks.
  • Bombay stocks exchange has grouped the stocks in the equity segment into different groups on the grounds of certain qualitative and even quantitative parameters.

Instead of needing to check if a company’s shares are liquid and even whether it has proper management, investors can easily take a shortcut by checking out in case the company belongs to something like a group. Hence, they would simply do the research and homework further only if the answer is positive.
