Sensex Weekly Expiry: Stock Under F&O Ban

As the Sensex weekly expiry approaches on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has imposed a trading ban on 1 stock in the futures and options (F&O) segment.

The ban was triggered as the security 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 July 1 includes:

RBL Bank Ltd

RBL Bank gained 3.78% to close at ₹248.60, rising sharply from its previous close of ₹239.55. The stock opened at ₹240.15 and touched an intraday high of ₹249.80, showcasing strong upward momentum. Its 52-week high stands at ₹270.40, while the 52-week low is ₹146.00.

With a VWAP of ₹246.61 and a total traded quantity of 7.29 lakh shares, the turnover stood at ₹17.98 crore. The stock's full market capitalization is ₹15,139.98 crore, with a free-float market cap of ₹14,727.86 crore.

The surge in price and volumes reflects heightened investor interest, which in turn has pushed open interest levels high enough to trigger the F&O ban.

What is Sensex Weekly Expiry?

The weekly expiry of Sensex options contracts occurs every Tuesday. If Tuesday is a trading holiday, the expiry is advanced to the previous trading session.

Settlement of contracts is done at the regular market close on expiry day or subsequently as determined by the exchange.

Notably, weekly expiry contracts are often reflected without specific expiry dates on the MarketWatch terminal, appearing instead as monthly series, with only the month and strike prices shown.
