Stock Market Holiday: Is BSE, NSE Open or Tomorrow is the ED-A-Milad closed for 2025?

Despite being celebrated as Milad-Un-NB, Indian exchanges NSE and BSE will be open on September 5. Markets follow the structured holiday calendar, where Milad-un-Nabi is not included between full-day holidays. Even in the commodity segment, holidays are not scheduled for morning or lunch, and exchanges will work as usual.

Also known as Eid-e-Milad, the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam, on that day. It is found in the third month of Islamic calendar, Rabi-ul-Aval.

However, there will be a settlement holiday tomorrow, meaning that the settlement and transactions on Thursday will be moved on Monday.

What is a settlement holiday?

Unlike trading holidays, when stock exchanges NSE and BSE are closed and investors cannot buy or sell shares, on settlement leave, exchanges are open to trade, but trades are clarified and compromised because banks like NSDL and CDSL, or RBI are closed.

In simple terms, the trade is executed, but the pay-in and pay-out of funds and securities are postponed in the next working day.

Stock market point of view

With the ease of GST regime, the Indian markets had increased a huge increase from the government. Different goods and services will now be taxed at two key rates – 5% and 18% – with specific sin and luxury goods placed under a special 40% slab.

However, the markets did not reflect much enthusiasm on Thursday as most of the news was already priced. Benchmark indicators experienced a book trading session, which ends with marginal benefits.

Extensive markets reduced the benchmark, with the Nifty MIDCAP 100 and Smallcap 100 indicators, which reflected the risky spirit among investors towards non-index components.

Overall, analysts expect the Nifty to be united in the range of 24,400-25,000 among stock-specific actions.

Bajaj Broking said in a note, “Immediate support is placed at 24,400-24,337 levels, which is a recent lower extremity and key retraction sector. The breach of the range will indicate a reduction in the next week’s 24,000-23,800 level key support sector,” Bajaj Broking said.
