Settlement holiday on 16th May 2022
16th May 2022 is a settlement holiday on account of Buddha Purnima. Due to this, all equity trades placed on 13th and 16th May 2022 will be settled on 18th May 2022.
To help you understand what this means, we’ve simplified the details below.
What’s a settlement holiday?
Settlement holidays are when markets are open but settlement of your trades do not take place as per the usual T+2 cycle because either the depositaries (NSDL and CDSL) are closed or banks are closed on that day.
How does this holiday impact your trades?
Since the settlement date denotes the final transfer of ownership of shares and not the day you made the trade, a holiday in between causes a delay in the final transfer of shares.
