On Sep 17, 2025, Sensex ended the session in green, up 0.38% at 82,693.71, while NSE rose by 0.36%, closing at 25,330.25.
As the Sensex weekly expiry approaches on Thursday, Sep 18, 2025, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has imposed a trading ban on 3 stocks in the futures and options (F&O) segment.
The ban was triggered as these securities breached 95% of the market-wide position limit (MWPL). While trading in F&O for this stock is restricted, it remains available for trading in the cash market.
The stock under the F&O ban for Sep 18 include:
On Sep 17, 2025, RBL Bank shares opened at ₹267.95 and closed down by 1.12% at ₹264.45 on BSE after reaching a day low of ₹263.70.
On Sep 17, 2025, OFSS share price opened at ₹9198.55 and closed lower by 0.20% at ₹9122.55 on BSE after reaching a day low of ₹9100.00.
On Sep 17, 2025, Angel One shares opened at ₹2239.90 and closed up by 0.84% at ₹2248.90 on the BSE after reaching a day high of ₹2266.40.
Sensex options contracts are scheduled to expire every Thursday. If a Thursday falls on a trading holiday, the expiry is moved to the previous trading day.
Settlement occurs at the regular market closing time on the expiry day, unless the exchange announces a different schedule.
Furthermore, if the last Thursday of the expiry cycle is a holiday, the expiry of individual securities within the same series is also shifted to the prior trading day.

The F&O ban on these stocks signals cautious trading ahead of the Sep 18 weekly expiry. Market volatility could rise as the expiry approaches. With expiry-related volatility likely to persist, investors are advised to exercise caution and stay vigilant to stock-specific movements, particularly within the derivatives' space.
