Indian Stock Market Settlement Holiday on September 8: How Does It Impact Your Trades?
Settlement Holidays on September 5 & 8: Here’s How They Impact Your Trades and Withdrawals
The stock markets will remain open for trading on Friday, September 5, and Monday, September 8, 2025. However, both days are designated as settlement holidays, which means the credit of your sale proceeds and profits will get delayed by a day.
For traders and investors, this essentially means that while you can buy and sell shares or derivatives as usual, the money you earn won’t be immediately available for withdrawal. Here’s a quick look at how it plays out across different segments.

Example: Buy at ₹10,000, sell at ₹11,000 → Profit ₹1,000.
