What is Sensex Weekly Expiry?

Sensex options contracts expire every Tuesday. If Tuesday happens to be a market holiday, the expiry is shifted to the preceding trading day.

The settlement takes place at the usual market closing time on the expiry day, unless the exchange specifies an alternative schedule.

Additionally, if the final Tuesday of an expiry cycle is a holiday, the expiry of individual securities under the same series is also brought forward to the previous trading day.
