Hello traders,

As highlighted by SEBI, fraudsters are using new tactics to scam market participants, leading to the loss of their hard-earned money.

As part of our ongoing efforts to keep you safe, here are some common scams to watch out for:

Fraudsters offer to handle your account and promise risk-free profits. They may ask for your login credentials and claim they’ll share profits. In reality:

Scammers may send fake notices (using SEBI letterheads) asking you to pay Securities Transaction Tax (STT) to a bank account.

Important: SEBI never sends such notices. STT is automatically deducted when you place trades on Upstox.

19 March 2026 (Thursday) is a settlement holiday on account of Gudhi Padwa. Markets will be OPEN for trading and investing.

What’s a settlement holiday? Settlement holidays are when markets are open, but settlement of your trades does not take place as per the usual T+1 cycle because either the depositaries (NSDL and CDSL) or the 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 the 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 a recent circular issued by the Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX), the expiry dates for Copper and Zinc March 2026 options contracts have been revised due to a trading holiday on 31 March 2026 (Shri Mahavir Jayanti).

Check out the table below for the revision in expiry dates:

Please note: Even though the expiry date on the Market Watch Screen would continue to display the existing expiry date, the above contracts will be available for trading only till the revised expiry date.

You can find the MCX circular for this revision here.
