Nifty Weekly Expiry Today: Sammaan Capital Under F&O Ban on February 3, 2026

On February 2, 2026, indian equity markets closed higher, ahead of the weekly derivatives expiry. Investor sentiment remained guarded as select stocks entered the Futures & Options (F&O) ban list due to elevated derivative open interest.

The Nifty weekly Futures & Options contracts are scheduled to expire today, Tuesday, February 3, 2026, in line with the regular weekly expiry calendar.

Stocks Under F&O Ban on Nifty’s Weekly Expiry Day

Ahead of the Nifty’s weekly expiry on February 3, 2026, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has placed one stock under the Futures and Options (F&O) trading ban.

This restriction is triggered when the open interest in a stock’s derivative contracts exceeds 95% of the Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL). While fresh derivative positions are restricted, trading in the cash market continues as usual.

Sammaan Capital Limited

As of February 2, 2026, Sammaan Capital Limited’s share price ended in green. The stock opened at ₹143.00 and moved within a day’s range of ₹147.42 to ₹141.20. It eventually closed at ₹146.68, up by 2.65% for the session.

Why Is This Stock Under F&O Ban?

A stock is placed under the Futures & Options (F&O) ban by the NSE when the open interest in its derivative contracts exceeds 95% of the Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL).

The objective of this regulatory measure is to curb excessive speculation and maintain orderly market conditions, particularly during expiry sessions.

During the ban period:

• No new F&O positions are allowed in the stock.
• Traders may only square off or reduce existing positions.
• Any violation of the ban rules may result in financial penalties or disciplinary action by the exchange.
