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+1 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.

You can also check a list of future settlement holidays  here.

If you have any queries, you can raise a ticket on the Upstox Pro Mobile or Desktop app.

As per RBI regulations, trading in currency derivatives is permitted solely for hedging your underlying forex exposure.

If you have such an exposure, please submit your declaration by clicking here: Currency segment declaration.

We have an important update regarding a circular issued by the RBI on 5 January 2024.

As per the circular, Indian residents are allowed to participate in currency derivative trading on Exchanges only for the purpose of hedging.

Hedging here refers to protecting against potential losses from currency fluctuations that arise from international transactions, which are allowed under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) of 1999 and its associated rules. These transactions could be planned for the future or might have already occurred.

Keep in mind

• No fresh position shall be permitted in currency derivatives from 3 April 2024
• All open positions need to be closed or shall be squared off by us by 4 April 2024 EOD

For your reference, please refer to the circular here: bit.ly/3U2m2Dx
