Questions traders ask
- What day is Nifty expiry in 2026?
- Tuesday. Since 1 September 2025 the NSE cycle is Tuesday for the Nifty weekly and for every NSE monthly, including Bank Nifty and single stocks. A holiday Tuesday moves that expiry 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 the morning and keeps the evening open. Full closures in 2026 are Republic Day, Good Friday, Gandhi Jayanti and Christmas. The Maharashtra election on 15 January closes NSE and BSE and leaves MCX open.
- When do Bank Nifty, FinNifty and stock options expire?
- Monthly, on the last Tuesday, with the Nifty monthly. They do not have a weekly contract. Bankex expires on the last Thursday, with the Sensex monthly.
How to read it
- Nifty expiry
- Every Tuesday on NSE. The last Tuesday is the monthly, and Bank Nifty, FinNifty, Midcap Nifty and stock F&O settle with it. A shut Tuesday moves the expiry to the previous trading day.
- Sensex expiry
- Every Thursday on BSE. The last Thursday is the monthly, and Bankex settles with it. Same holiday rule.
- MCX
- A red-brown “MCX shut” is both sessions. “MCX a.m.” means the morning is shut and the evening still trades. Crude futures follow the 19th, gold the 5th of the even months, silver the 5th of March, May, July, September and December. Natural gas follows the NYMEX date and is not on this grid.
- Muhurat
- 8 November 2026 is a Sunday. The regular session is shut. NSE, BSE and MCX run Muhurat trading; the clock for it comes in a circular nearer the day.
Holiday dates follow the 2026 NSE and BSE equity lists and MCX circular MCX/TRD/636/2025. Expiry weekdays follow the NSE and BSE contract specifications in force since 1 September 2025. A later circular can revise one commodity contract. Check the exchange before you hold into the date. This page is a calendar, not advice, and Quintal Mind is not affiliated with NSE, BSE or MCX.
