Solution Overview:-
The web based system allows investors to carry out their post trade settlement process at the click of a mouse. The designed system not only facilities various types of transactions through the internet but also provides Account details such as "statement of holdings" for periodic intervals.
The information dissemination & issuing of holding details project is termed as EASI - "Electronic Access to Securities Information". EASI aims to provide account holders with the facility to view their balances, ascertain the status of receipt/delivery instructions, obtain details of transactions effected through Demat account during the preceding 7 days. Besides "EASI" offers a unique facility of marking to market the holdings in the BO account which is valued at the previous day's closing prices at BSE.
The existing business processes and various market participants relationship (in the offline world) has been replicated as is onto the online world with appropriate work flow mechanisms and escalation procedures.
Considering the complexity of the application and the mission critical nature of the application - A PKI infrastructure has been implemented. Moreover security has been considered both at the network level as level as over the internet. All transactional communication between the system and the users are carried out using 128-bit SSL. Taking into account the sensitivity of data, the data is stored in encrypted formats in the database. Only authorized users will be able to view their details.
