What is a Settlement Holiday?

A settlement holiday is a day when the stock exchanges are open for trading, but the normal process of settling trades is halted. On such days, trades executed are not settled on the usual T+1 (Trade plus one day) or T+2 (Trade plus two days) cycle.

This means that the actual transfer of securities and funds between the buyer and seller is postponed to the next working day when the settlement process resumes. Settlement holidays are observed on major public holidays and other significant events when the clearinghouse is closed.

It is crucial for traders and investors to be aware of these holidays to manage their portfolios and transaction expectations effectively, as they can impact the liquidity and availability of funds.

*This holiday list applies to Equity Segment, Equity Derivative Segment and SLB Segment.
