Exchanges are in dating mode with expiry days. Ideally they should marry a day and let it be :grinning: Only change at my end would be to change the code again to match the new expiry day.

This is good news. By Monday, all the price management tied to expiry and premium decay will be finished. After that, the other days can go back to normal with regular demand and supply.

I believe BSE Derivatives expiries should also be aligned to Monday.

Hello Community Members,

There has been a new development. The changes announced in Exchange Circular No. 66938 (dated March 04, 2025) i.e. one mentioned above, have been put on hold until further notice. This decision comes in view of SEBI’s consultation paper released on March 27, 2025, which discusses the expiry day for equity derivatives.

We will share further updates as soon as they’re available.
