Sensex Monthly Expiry: SAIL and Sammaan Capital Under F&O Ban on March 25, 2026

Market participants are gearing up for the upcoming Sensex Monthly expiry, with the stock exchange imposing restrictions on select securities in the derivatives segment as part of its regular monitoring mechanism. 

Since March 26, 2026 (the last Thursday of the month) is a trading holiday on account of Shri Ram Navami, the expiry will be shifted to the previous trading day, i.e., Wednesday, March 25, 2026. 

On March 25, 2026, both Steel Authority of India (SAIL) and Sammaan Capital have been placed under the futures and options (F&O) trading ban. This action follows the breach of market-wide position limits, a regulatory measure to ensure market stability.

While fresh positions are not allowed in the futures and options segment for the stock, it continues to remain available for trading in the cash market.
