Ganesh Chaturthi on Mon, 14 Sept, 2026: every NSE closure left in 2026, and the money date each one moves
As at 4 September 2026 there are 6 weekday trading holidays left on the 2026 NSE calendar, and the first of them — Ganesh Chaturthi on Mon, 14 Sept, 2026 — is 10 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, and for the trade placed just before a holiday that date is not the one most people expect.
What you will take away
- There are 6 weekday closures left in 2026 after 4 September 2026, plus one Sunday on which a session is scheduled.
- A weekend sits next to 3 of those 6 closures, shutting 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, because settlement is counted over days the clearing corporation operates.
- None of this can be worked out from a weekday rule. Holidays come from circulars, and the 2026 calendar has already been amended once during the year.

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, which is the same calculation the settlement calculator on this site does.
The three-day breaks
A holiday next to a weekend shuts the market for three consecutive days rather than one. In what is left of 2026 that happens 3 times: Ganesh Chaturthi, Mon, 14 Sept, 2026; Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, Fri, 2 Oct, 2026; Christmas, Fri, 25 Dec, 2026.
The rest fall mid-week and take out a single day. That distinction matters for one reason only, and it is the next section.
The holiday moves the money 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, so every closed day sitting between the two pushes it further out.
If the question is when funds or shares are available, the trading-holiday list 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 — a day the market is normally shut anyway, on which a session is nonetheless scheduled. Its hours are not on the annual circular; the exchange's own note says they are notified separately.
Why none of this can be computed
Exchange holidays are published a year at a time by circular, and amended by later circulars. No weekday rule generates them, and 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 a holiday list anyone can rely on in September, which is why the tools here fail closed on dates outside the published years rather than falling back on a rule.
Limits, honestly stated
- The settlement dates above are indicative. Where the clearing corporation publishes a settlement schedule of its own for a holiday, that schedule governs and this calculation does not.
- The table covers the NSE capital-market segment. Other segments publish their own calendars, and they do not have to agree.
- Clearing holidays and trading holidays are published as two separate lists. They mostly coincide, but a date can appear on one and not the other, so 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.
- NSE/CMTR/71775 (12 Dec 2025) — NSE Capital Market holiday calendar for 2026 (opens in a new tab) — Every trading holiday in the table above, with the name the circular gives it, and the weekend dates that carry a holiday name — including Diwali Laxmi Pujan. (checked )
- NSE/CMTR/72260 (12 Jan 2026) — addendum to the 2026 calendar (opens in a new tab) — Evidence for the point this post makes about amendments: the 2026 calendar was already changed once during the year by a later circular, which is why a holiday list copied in January is not a holiday list you can rely on in September. (checked )
- NCL/CMPT/72224 — clearing-corporation settlement schedule — The published example of an exchange issuing a settlement schedule of its own around a holiday, which is what overrides the rolling calculation when one exists. (checked )

Is the stock market closed on Mon, 14 Sept, 2026?
Yes. The 2026 NSE calendar lists Ganesh Chaturthi as a trading holiday on that Monday, and it is closed for 3 days in a row counting the weekend around it.
How many trading holidays are left in 2026?
There are 6 weekday trading holidays left after 4 September 2026, plus Sun, 8 Nov, 2026, a Sunday on which a session is scheduled with timings not yet published.
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, so a T+1 trade on Fri, 11 Sept, 2026 has an indicative money date of Tue, 15 Sept, 2026.
Can this list be worked out from a rule?
No. Exchange holidays are published by circular, differ year to year, and are amended mid-year. Any list produced by a weekday rule is a guess.
