The Diwali Muhurat trading session this year will be held on Friday, November 1, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Keeping with our tradition of over the last 14 years, brokerage charges for all trades during the Muhurat trading session will be reversed. Zero brokerage on all Intraday, F&O, and commodity trades.
### What is Muhurat trading?
A Muhurat trading session is held every year by the exchanges on Diwali, during Lakshmi Puja.
Before electronic trading, trading took place in designated trading halls of stock exchanges, accessible only to stockbrokers and their registered assistants. Investors would place orders through brokers, who would then execute the trades in the hall.
On Muhurat trading day, the usual restrictions were relaxed, allowing brokers’ clients, friends, and family to witness open-outcry trading in person.
Buying stocks during Muhurat trading is considered auspicious and is believed to bring good fortune for the year ahead.

> Muhurat Trading: The customary trading tradition on the day of Diwali is unique to India where markets open for a short duration to pay obeisance to Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity (Lakshmi Puja). Lots of traders and market old hands use Deepawali (Lakshmi Puja) as a reference point to record how they and the markets have fared in a year. This is a legacy from days when traders and businesses used to end the financial year at the change of the lunar ‘Samvat’ year on Deepaval…

@ShubhS9, to confirm, the closing price will be the weighted average of the last 30 minutes this time as well? That is, the time from 6:30 to 7 pm?
And this needs correction…
