Stock markets will remain open on September 5, 2025, for Eid-e-Milad; only settlement operations will be deferred.
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) will remain open for trading on September 5, 2025, despite the observance of Eid-e-Milad (Milad-Un-Nabi).
Trading vs Settlement Holiday
Eid-e-Milad is not a full trading holiday for Indian stock markets. Equity and commodity markets will function as usual in both sessions.
However, it will be observed as a settlement holiday, which means trading will take place, but the clearing and settlement of funds and securities will be carried out on the next working day.
For mutual funds, transactions such as purchases and redemptions placed after the cut-off on September 4 or during the holiday on September 5 will be processed on September 8, 2025.
What Is a Settlement Holiday?
A settlement holiday is different from a market holiday. While investors can buy or sell securities on such days, the transfer of money and shares between accounts is deferred until the settlement systems (banks and depositories) reopen.
