The new session ushers in Vikram Samvat 2082, the Hindu New Year that begins on Diwali. Traditionally, trading during the ‘Muhurat’ session, the auspicious hour, is believed to bring prosperity and financial growth to investors.
According to official schedules, all trades executed during the Muhurat session will carry regular settlement obligations, meaning delivery and payment duties for buyers and sellers will be settled as on any normal trading day.
Muhurat trading is a long-standing Diwali tradition first introduced by the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) in 1957, and later adopted by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in 1992.
Historically, brokers performed Chopda Pujan, a ritualistic worship of account books, during this auspicious hour to mark the beginning of the new financial year with prosperity and good fortune.
