The Bank Nifty monthly and quarterly contracts beginning today (March 1) will expire on the last Wednesday of the expiry month instead of Thursdays.
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) in December had revised the expiry day of Nifty Bank monthly and quarterly contract cycle which is set to be applicable from March 01, 2024.
With this revision, all contracts of Bank Nifty – weekly, monthly and quarterly – will now expire on Wednesdays. In July last year, the bourse had shifted the Bank Nifty weekly expiry to Wednesday from Thursday.
If Wednesday is a trading holiday, then the expiry day will be the previous trading day.
