Total equity capital of a company is divided into equal units of small denominations, each called a share.

For example, in a company the total equity capital of Rs 2,00,00,000 is divided into 20,00,000 units of Rs 10 each. Each such unit of Rs 10 is called a Share.

Thus, the company then is 11 said to have 20, 00,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each. The holders of such shares are members of the company and have voting rights.

There are two ways of investing in equity.

1. Investment through primary market.

2. Investment through secondary market.
