Stock Market Holidays in 2023
Table of Contents
When it’s Independence Day on August 15th, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) will be closed. That means you can’t buy or sell stocks on that day. This break applies to three types of trading: the Equity Segment, Equity Derivative Segment, and SLB Segment.
Understanding Trading Days
Most of the time, you can trade stocks on any regular day except weekends and special holidays. In August, there are eight days when the stock market won’t open. These days are because of weekends and the official holiday, Independence Day.

What This Means for You
If you invest or trade in the stock market, these holidays are important. You can’t trade on Independence Day, and these other holidays might also affect your plans. It’s a good idea to remember them when you make decisions about buying and selling stocks.
To sum up, the BSE and NSE will be closed on Independence Day, August 15th. Trading won’t happen for three types of trading. Eight holidays have already passed this year, and six more are on the way. Remembering these dates will help you plan your stock trading better.
