On 19 March 2026, a settlement holiday was observed for Gudhi Padwa.
Although the markets remained open for trading, settlement-related activities were paused for the day. This meant that some fund and stock movements were delayed by one working day.
Key things to know
- Client payouts were not processed on 19 March 2026.
- Equity trades placed on 18 March 2026 were settled on 20 March 2026.
- Stocks bought on 18 March 2026 could not be sold on 19 March 2026.
- Profits from trades across all segments on 18 March 2026 were not available on 19 March 2026.
Why this happened
A settlement holiday is different from a trading holiday. On a settlement holiday, you can still place trades, but the actual settlement of funds and securities does not happen on that day.
Because of this, any credits, payouts, or availability of profits tied to settlement were postponed accordingly.
