Will there be any trading during the Holi 2026 market closed day?

Yes, but limited. The commodity derivatives and EGR segments will run in the evening session from 5:00 PM to 11:55 PM. There is no morning trade. All other segments, including cash equities, F&O, currency, and debt, remain closed for the full day.

How does the holiday affect T+1 equity settlement?

Trades executed on Monday, March 2, 2026 will settle on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, since the holiday defers processing by one working day. Ensure funds and securities are available, and avoid last-minute sales if shares are not yet credited to your demat account.

What should I do about margins and pledges before the break?

Top up margin buffers on March 2 to manage potential price moves during the off day. Start collateral pledges or releases early, as updates may take time to reflect. Keep some free cash for possible margin calls when markets reopen on March 4.
