The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is expected to issue its much-anticipated circular today, bringing clarity on the new expiry day framework for equity derivatives across stock exchanges. This marks the conclusion of a consultation process that began in March 2025, aimed at streamlining contract expiries and curbing excessive market volatility.
As first reported by CNBC-TV18 on May 22, SEBI had proposed limiting equity derivatives contract expiries to just two days in a week—either Tuesday or Thursday. This move comes in response to growing concerns about speculative trading, which had been amplified by multiple expiry days throughout the week.
To help finalize the new framework, stock exchanges were asked to submit their preferred expiry day by June 15, 2025. According to sources familiar with the matter, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has opted for Tuesday.
With the final circular expected today, the market is closely watching for official confirmation. Traders and investors are preparing to adjust their strategies based on the new, standardized expiry schedule—bringing a long-awaited sense of order to the derivatives market.
Stay tuned for updates as SEBI releases the official guidelines.
