SEBI approves NSE’s expiry to Tuesday, BSE to Thursday

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) yesterday announced that it has received approval from the capital markets regulator SEBI to change the expiry day for equity derivatives from Thursday to Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has been given the go-ahead to shift its expiry day from Tuesday to Thursday.

In their communications, both NSE and BSE stated that the expiry day for existing



contracts will remain unchanged, except for long-dated index options contracts, which will be suitably realigned with the revised expiry schedule. Derivative contracts expiring on or before 31 August 2025 will retain their current expiry days. Contracts expiring after 1 September 2025 will follow the new schedule, with NSE expiries on Tuesdays and BSE expiries on Thursdays.
