Sensex Weekly Expiry: Stocks Under F&O Ban

Ahead of the Sensex weekly expiry on January 22, Bandhan Bank and Sammaan Capital have been placed under the F&O trading ban.

The ban has been imposed as these securities crossed 95% of the market-wide position limit (MWPL). While trading in F&O contracts for these stocks is restricted, they remain available for trading in the cash segment.

Bandhan Bank Ltd

Bandhan Bank shares closed at ₹138.00, declining ₹1.35 or 0.97% in the latest session.

Sammaan Capital Ltd

Sammaan Capital shares ended marginally lower at ₹138.10, down ₹0.05 or 0.04%.

What is Sensex Weekly Expiry?

Sensex options contracts expire every Thursday. If Thursday falls on a trading holiday, the expiry is advanced to the preceding trading day.

Settlement takes place at the regular market closing time unless specified otherwise by the exchange. Similarly, if the final Thursday of an expiry cycle is a holiday, all securities in that series expire on the previous trading session.
