Stock Market Holidays 2023

We examine the holiday season and how it can affect your trading and investment plans. To avoid missing important deadlines, you must plan your trading and settlement activities in advance. To stay informed about any changes to the trading and settlement schedule, it is always a good idea to keep a watch on official announcements made by the stock exchanges. Two of India's top exchanges for trading securities are the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (the "NSE") and the BSE Limited (the "BSE"). They provide trading services throughout the year. The main commodity exchange in the country is called the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX). This exchange makes it easier to trade various commodities online.
