Investors who purchased shares on Friday, March 28, 2025, will not be able to sell them on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, due to a settlement holiday. Both trades executed on March 28 (Friday) and April 1 (Tuesday) will be settled on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.
The intervening non-trading day on Monday, March 31, 2025, is due to a market holiday for Ramzan Eid (Eid-ul-Fitr). As a result, the Indian stock exchanges — BSE and NSE — will remain closed on March 31, and no trading activity will take place across equity, derivatives, and SLB segments.
Key implications:
-
T+1 settlement rule typically allows stocks bought on Day T to be sold the next trading day (T+1), but due to the holiday on March 31, this cycle is disrupted.
-
Investors will have to wait until April 2, 2025, to sell shares bought on March 28, 2025.
-
Settlement for trades on both March 28 and April 1 will be completed on April 2.
Market participants are advised to account for this when planning their trading and investment decisions around month-end.
