What you see​

  • Today. Today's date, whether the equity market and MCX are open or shut, and the next event.
  • Layers, in three groups:
    • Holidays: NSE holiday, BSE holiday, MCX holiday
    • Expiries: Nifty expiry, Sensex expiry, Bank Nifty & stocks, Bankex, MCX expiry
    • Events: Settlement, Muhurat, Weekend festivals (off by default)
  • Show all, Hide all and Reset change every layer at once.
  • Month grid. Each day shows up to three labels, with "+N" for more. Click a day to list its events in the side panel. ‹ and › move between months and Today jumps back.
  • Coming up and the list for the month shown.

The rules the calendar follows​

  • Nifty expiry is every Tuesday on NSE. The last Tuesday is the monthly, and Bank Nifty, FinNifty, Midcap Nifty and stock F&O settle with it.
  • Sensex expiry is every Thursday on BSE. The last Thursday is the monthly, and Bankex settles with it.
  • If an expiry day is a holiday, the expiry moves to the previous trading day. These weekdays are the ones in force since 1 September 2025.
  • MCX holidays are marked by session. "MCX shut" means both sessions are closed. "MCX a.m." means the morning is shut and the evening trades. For example, Holi on 3 March 2026 closes NSE and BSE but only the MCX morning.
  • MCX futures expiries: crude oil on the 19th, gold on the 5th of even months, silver on the 5th of March, May, July, September and December, moved back over weekends and MCX morning closures. Natural gas follows the NYMEX date and is not on the grid.
  • Settlement holidays are days when the cash market trades but settlement does not happen.
  • Muhurat: 8 November 2026 is a Sunday with Muhurat trading on NSE, BSE and MCX.

Holiday dates follow the 2026 NSE and BSE equity lists and MCX circular MCX/TRD/636/2025. A later circular can change a date, so check the exchange before relying on it.

FAQ​

What day is Nifty expiry in 2026?​

Tuesday. The Nifty weekly and every NSE monthly, including Bank Nifty and stock F&O, expire on Tuesday. If that Tuesday is a holiday, the expiry moves to the previous trading day.

What day is Sensex expiry in 2026?​

Thursday. Bankex expires on the last Thursday of the month. A BSE holiday moves the expiry to the previous trading day.

Does MCX close when NSE is closed?​

Not always. On many festival days MCX shuts only the morning session and keeps the evening open. The calendar marks full MCX closures separately from morning-only closures.

Where can I see MCX crude, gold and silver expiry dates?​

On the Quintal Mind market calendar under the MCX expiry layer. Crude oil follows the 19th, gold the 5th of even months, and silver the 5th of March, May, July, September and December, moved back over weekends and MCX closures.
