SEBI to approve Tuesday as expiry day for NSE
According to reports, India’s market regulator SEBI, is expected to approve Tuesday as the new expiry day for the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
As per a report by CNBC-TV18, SEBI is likely to release a circular soon outlining the expiry dates for index contracts on stock exchanges.
The NSE has reportedly proposed Tuesday as its preferred expiry day. This suggestion was recently reviewed during a meeting of SEBI’s Secondary Market Advisory Committee (SMAC), which is in the process of establishing uniform rules for expiry days across different exchanges.
At present, futures and options contracts on the BSE expire on Tuesdays, while those on the NSE expire on Thursdays. In March 2025, SEBI issued a consultation paper suggesting that stock exchanges designate Tuesdays and Thursdays as standard expiry days to prevent overlap and enhance clarity.
BSE reported a significant 361.7 per cent year-on-year surge in net profit, reaching ₹494 crore in the fourth quarter of FY25. Operational revenue also saw a strong rise, increasing by 75 per cent to ₹846.6 crore during the same period.
