+Today is a settlement holiday, and thus, settlements of funds and stocks don't happen. This happens when banks in Maharashtra are closed, but trading on exchanges is open.

+Most brokers don't allow shares bought on Friday to be sold on Monday because of this. We [@zerodhaonline](https://x.com/zerodhaonline) are among the few brokers that allow you to sell stocks bought on Friday.

+And, Eid-e-Milad is shifted from the 16th to the 18th of September, and the 18th will also now be a settlement holiday. But the 16th continues to be a settlement holiday. 😬
