Expiry

The last day a futures or options contract trades. After it the contract settles. NSE Nifty expires on Tuesday, BSE Sensex on Thursday; a holiday moves expiry to the previous trading day.

Expiry is the last day a futures or options contract trades. After that day it stops existing and settles. Open positions are closed at the settlement price.

On NSE, Nifty contracts expire on Tuesday. On BSE, Sensex contracts expire on Thursday. If the expiry day is a market holiday, expiry moves to the previous trading day (NSE/FAOP/67775, s.1.14). So a Tuesday holiday means Monday expiry.
