On February 19, 2025, India commemorates Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, honoring the birth anniversary of the esteemed Maratha king. Despite the significance of this day, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) will operate during their standard trading hours, from 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM. However, it’s important to note that while trading activities proceed as usual, the clearing and settlement operations for stocks and funds will be closed in observance of the holiday.

This means that any trades executed on February 19 will have their settlement processes deferred to the next working day. Investors should plan accordingly, especially those engaged in transactions requiring immediate settlement.
In contrast, banks in Maharashtra will remain closed on February 19 to observe Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti. This closure is specific to Maharashtra, and banks in other parts of the country are expected to function normally.
Looking ahead, the next scheduled stock market holiday is on February 26, 2025, for Mahashivratri, during which both trading and settlement operations will be closed.
