Every term is defined twice: once the way a filing would put it, and once the way somebody would explain it to you across a table. The second one is usually the one that sticks.

Exchange data splitting the day’s turnover across foreign institutions, domestic institutions, proprietary desks and clients.
The client bucket holds everyone who is not an institution or a proprietary desk, so it is not a measurement of retail.
Total value of goods and services billed to customers in a period.
The top line. Growth here means nothing until you check what survived to the bottom.
Revenue divided by assets — how much sales each rupee of assets generates.
It collapses during a capex cycle because capital arrives before revenue does.
How much of a fund’s portfolio was bought and sold during the year.
A cost paid from the fund’s assets before the NAV you see. 200% means the whole portfolio changed twice.
Decomposing ROE into net margin, asset turnover and equity multiplier.
Tells you whether a high ROE comes from brand power, operational speed, or just debt.
A monthly document disclosing a fund’s holdings, sector mix, turnover and expense ratio.
Free, two pages, and it answers everything a star rating cannot.
Compulsory registration under the Goods and Services Tax above a turnover threshold, or immediately in certain interstate cases.
Registering voluntarily lets you claim input credit and commits you to periodic returns permanently.
National Stock Exchange of India, founded 1992 — the largest Indian exchange by turnover.
Where most Indian trading actually happens. Home of the NIFTY 50.
The fee a broker charges for executing a trade.
Only one line of the bill. STT, stamp duty and exchange fees are charged on turnover regardless of profit.
The number of shares that actually move between demat accounts at settlement, after same-day client-level netting.
The absolute figure behind delivery percentage. Read it against its own recent average, because the percentage moves whenever turnover moves.
Offsetting a client’s buys and sells in the same security on the same day, so that only the net position goes to settlement.
Why most of a busy day’s turnover leaves no trace anywhere. Buy and sell the same shares before the close and nothing is delivered.
A party who quietly accumulates a position in an illiquid stock and then manufactures the demand needed to distribute it.
The scheme needs thin turnover, because a large holding cannot be sold into a liquid stock without moving the price. The promotion exists to create the buyers.
Accumulating an illiquid stock, promoting it to create buyers, then selling into that demand.
It needs thin liquidity to work. A loud tip on a stock with tiny turnover means you are the exit.
