About stock market holidays 2010
Stock market holidays 2010 are the days NSE and BSE were closed for share trading in that calendar year. Of the 20 holidays listed, nine fell on a Saturday or Sunday, so the market lost 11 trading days to them, from New Year on Friday 1 Jan to Muharram on Friday 17 Dec.
Holidays in 2010
The nine weekend holidays were Mahavir Jayanti on Sunday 28 Mar, May Day on Saturday 1 May, Independence Day on Sunday 15 Aug, Ganesh Chaturthi on Saturday 11 Sep, Gandhi Jayanti on Saturday 2 Oct, Dasara on Sunday 17 Oct, Bhau Bij on Sunday 7 Nov, Gurunanak Jayanti on Sunday 21 Nov and Christmas on Saturday 25 Dec. The page marks each one as falling on a weekend.
Muhurat trading
Muhurat trading is a short special session held on Diwali, at the time considered auspicious for starting the new Samvat year, the Hindu calendar year that begins at Diwali. The page marks Laxmi Puja on Friday 5 Nov 2010 as a muhurat session. The normal daytime session does not run that day, and the exchanges announce the session's hours by circular.
Holidays and settlement
Settlement is when shares and money actually change hands after a trade. In 2010 Indian shares settled two working days after the trade, called T+2, and a holiday or weekend is not a working day. Ramzan ID closed the market on Friday 10 Sep and Ganesh Chaturthi fell on the Saturday, so after Thursday 9 Sep the market next traded on Monday 13 Sep.
Moving dates
Holi on 1 Mar, Ram Navmi on 24 Mar, Ramzan ID on 10 Sep and Bakri Id on 17 Nov follow lunar calendars, so their dates change each year. Republic Day on 26 Jan and Christmas on 25 Dec stay fixed.
