Diwali-Balipratipada on Tue, 10 Nov, 2026: NSE trading holidays 2026, every closure left and the settlement date each one moves
Published Updated
NSE trading holidays 2026: 3 are left after 22 October 2026. See each one and the indicative T+1 settlement date of the last trade before it.
As at 22 October 2026, 3 weekday dates are left on the list of NSE trading holidays 2026. The first is Diwali-Balipratipada on Tue, 10 Nov, 2026, 19 days away. The interesting part is not the day off. It is the date underneath it. A holiday does not move the day you trade. It moves the day the money or the shares actually turn up. For a trade placed just before a holiday, that date is not the one most people expect.
- There are 3 weekday closures left in 2026 after 22 October 2026. One Sunday also has a session scheduled.
- A weekend sits next to 1 of those 3 closures. Each one shuts the market for three days in a row.
- A holiday after your trade does not change the trade date. It pushes the settlement date out. Settlement is counted over days the clearing corporation operates.
- None of this can be worked out from a weekday rule. Holidays come from circulars. The 2026 calendar has already been amended once during the year.
NSE trading holidays 2026: what is left of the year
| Closed on | Named on the circular as | Days shut in a row | Last trading day before it | Indicative T+1 settlement date for a trade on that day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tue, 10 Nov, 2026 | Diwali-Balipratipada | 1 | Mon, 9 Nov, 2026 | Wed, 11 Nov, 2026 |
| Tue, 24 Nov, 2026 | Prakash Gurpurb Sri Guru Nanak Dev | 1 | Mon, 23 Nov, 2026 | Wed, 25 Nov, 2026 |
| Fri, 25 Dec, 2026 | Christmas | 3 | Thu, 24 Dec, 2026 | Mon, 28 Dec, 2026 |
Two columns of that table are calculated rather than copied. The days-shut column counts the run of closed days around each holiday, weekends included. The money-date column steps a trade forward over days the market is actually open. That is the same calculation the settlement calculator on this site does.
The one three-day break left
A holiday next to a weekend shuts the market for three days in a row, not one. In what is left of 2026 that happens once: Christmas, Fri, 25 Dec, 2026.
The rest fall mid-week and take out a single day. That difference matters for one reason only. The next section is that reason.
The holiday moves the settlement date, not the trade date
Trading and clearing run on separate calendars. Your trade date is fixed by the day you traded. The settlement date is counted forward over days the clearing corporation actually operates. Every closed day sitting between the two pushes it further out.
If the question is when funds or shares are available, that is the wrong list to read on its own.
One Sunday in November is not a closed day
The table above is weekday closures. The calendar also carries Diwali Laxmi Pujan on Sun, 8 Nov, 2026, a Sunday. The market is normally shut that day. A special session runs on it all the same. Its hours were not on the annual circular. They came later, in NSE/CMTR/76941.
Why none of this can be computed
The exchange publishes holidays a year at a time by circular. Later circulars amend them. No weekday rule generates them. No rule generates the settlement schedule an exchange sometimes publishes around one.
The 2026 calendar is its own evidence for that. It already carries an addendum issued after the annual circular. A holiday list copied out in January is not one anyone can rely on in September. That is why, for dates outside the published years, the tools here say “not known”. They do not fall back on a rule.
What this post does not cover
- The settlement dates above are indicative. The clearing corporation sometimes publishes its own settlement schedule for a holiday. Where it does, that schedule governs and this calculation does not.
- The table covers the NSE capital-market segment. Other segments publish their own calendars. They do not have to agree.
- Clearing holidays and trading holidays are published as two separate lists. They mostly match, but a date can appear on one and not the other. A settlement question is worth checking against the clearing list.
- Dates come from circulars that can be amended. Each source below carries the date a human last checked it.
The documents this post is built on
Each card is a real document, named by its own reference number and date, with the part of this post that rests on it and the day a human last opened it.
Every trading holiday in the table above, with the name the circular gives it. It also gives the weekend dates that carry a holiday name, including Diwali Laxmi Pujan.
Evidence for the point this post makes about amendments. A later circular already changed the 2026 calendar once during the year. That is why a holiday list copied in January is not one you can rely on in September.
The published example of an exchange issuing its own settlement schedule around a holiday. Such a schedule overrides the rolling calculation when one exists.

Frequently asked
Is the stock market closed on Tue, 10 Nov, 2026?
Yes. The 2026 NSE calendar lists Diwali-Balipratipada as a trading holiday on that Tuesday. The market is shut for 1 days in a row, counting the weekend around it.
How many trading holidays are left in 2026?
There are 3 weekday trading holidays left after 22 October 2026. Add Sun, 8 Nov, 2026, a Sunday with a special Muhurat session on its own timetable.
If I trade just before a holiday, when does it settle?
Later than the next calendar day. Settlement is counted over days the clearing corporation operates. A T+1 trade on Mon, 9 Nov, 2026 therefore has an indicative settlement date of Wed, 11 Nov, 2026.
Can this list be worked out from a rule?
No. Exchange holidays are published by circular. They differ year to year, and are amended mid-year. Any list produced by a weekday rule is a guess.
