World's fastest stock settlement begins

Only India has T+0 Settlement

Today marks the start of the world's fastest stock trading and settlement service in India. Both BSE and NSE will commence trading 25 stocks under a T+0 settlement cycle, allowing stocks bought and sold between 9.15 am and 1.30 pm to be settled by the end of the same day.

This 'same day' settlement system aims to provide investors with quicker transactions and reduce market risks, freeing up funds for further trading and investment.

Here's a glimpse into the key details:

Under the T+0 system, stocks will be settled on the same day of trade.

Optional Nature:

The new settlement cycle will be optional for investors and will have a separate trading window, ending at 1.30 pm.

Broker Participation:

Selected brokers will be allowed to offer this faster settlement service to their clients.
