  • What Is the Impact of NSE Holidays on Settlement Cycles?

    When there's an NSE holiday, the settlement of trades is delayed. For example, if you buy or sell shares just before a holiday, the money or shares will be settled on the next working day. If there are multiple holidays in a row, the delay can be longer. So, traders should check the holiday list to plan better.  

  • Can You Trade on Settlement Holidays in NSE?

    Yes, you can trade on settlement holidays, but the settlement doesn’t happen that day. This means if you buy or sell on a settlement holiday, the exchange works, but your funds or shares will be delivered later, usually on the next working day. This happens when the exchange is open, but banks or depositories are closed.  

  • What is meant by a holiday trade settlement?

    A day on which the markets are open, but the depositories are closed is called a settlement holiday.

  • What is the timing for the evening trade?

    Evening trading is done between 5 pm and 11:30 pm.

  • What is the meaning of a settlement holiday in trading?

    A settlement holiday refers to a day when the markets are operational, but the depositories are closed.

  • What if a holiday falls on the weekly expiry of equity options contracts?

    In the event of a holiday coinciding with the weekly expiry of equity options contracts, the NSE follows regulations by moving the expiry to the previous day before the holiday.
