🪔 Muhurat Trading: The Special One-Hour Diwali Session
Muhurat Trading is a unique tradition in Indian stock markets. On Diwali (Laxmi Pujan day), the regular market is closed, but a special one-hour symbolic trading session is held in the evening — usually between 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM IST. Indian investors consider this auspicious as it marks the start of the new Samvat year.
The exact muhurat trading time is announced by NSE and BSE 1-2 weeks before Diwali. Trades placed during this session are real and settled normally. Many retail investors symbolically buy a small quantity of stocks they own or want to own as a token gesture.

💼 How Market Holidays Impact IPO Investors
Market holidays directly affect IPO investors in several ways:
- IPO subscription window: Most IPO bid days are 3 consecutive working days. If a holiday falls in between, the IPO may extend by one day OR skip that day depending on SEBI guidelines.
- Allotment & listing dates: The standard T+3 listing timeline (mainboard) and T+6 (SME) is based on working days. Holidays push these dates further.
- UPI mandate expiry: If you applied for an IPO via UPI and a holiday falls before allotment, your mandate may need re-approval. Watch your UPI app.
- Listing day pre-open: IPO listing day uses an extended pre-open session (9:00–9:45 AM) for price discovery. This still happens even if the previous day was a holiday.
- Refund timing: ASBA fund unblock takes T+2 working days. Holidays delay the refund of unalloted IPO money by 1-2 days.
See the full IPO calendar for upcoming subscription dates that account for these holidays.
🔁 T+1 Settlement and Market Holidays
India shifted to T+1 settlement (trade date plus one working day) for all equity transactions in 2023. This means if you buy a stock today, settlement (final transfer of shares + funds) happens on the next working day.
Market holidays impact this: if today is a weekend or holiday, your trade settles on the next working day. For example, a Friday trade settles on Monday (skipping Saturday/Sunday). A Diwali-day trade settles on the next working day after Diwali.
