This paper investigates the growth of financial derivatives in India in terms of number of contracts traded and turnover at NSE and its impact on underlying stock market. Earlier studies concluded that introduction of derivatives resulted either in reducing the volatility or no change in the volatility, increased efficiency, increase in trading volume and significant impact of the expiration days of stock futures and options. This paper generalizes the results offered by the existing studies conducted in different ways regarding the impact of financial derivatives on the underlying stock market. The study is based on secondary data which includes various websites, journals and research papers published.
