Which index will be considered for weekly expiry from NSE, whether it is Bank Nifty or Nifty 50?
The general consensus is Nifty Werkly will be the one that remains.
But
- BN Weekly is NSE’s bigger money spinner.
- NSE originally started BN Weekly b4 Nifty Weekly.
So if it’s entirely upto NSE, it could be BN weekly that prevails

The July 30 consultation paper mentions “weekly options contracts to be provided on single benchmark index of an exchange” and Nifty more so qualifies as a benchmark and BNF not so much. SEBI doesn’t seem to have given much of a choice between Nifty or BNF. If NSE has lobbied for a choice to be given to the exchanges and if SEBI has agreed to it, then maybe clarity will come on Monday, else I think it’s Nifty to be the weekly expiry for now

If Nifty and Sensex Weeklies remain, then it’s a blow for BSE as they will find it difficult to get traction for their buggy systems. Best for both exchanges will be BN Weekly and Sensex Weekly combo 
If this happens, Sensex will gain more liquidity, and Nifty 50 might experience a loss. What do you think about this?
The official benchmark index for the overall stock market is the Nifty 50. It is the primary index representing the top 50 companies across various sectors of the Indian economy.
Bank Nifty (Nifty Bank), on the other hand, is a sectoral index that focuses specifically on the performance of the banking sector, covering the 12 most liquid and large capitalized banking stocks listed on the NSE. While Bank Nifty is significant for tracking the banking industry’s health, the Nifty 50 remains the broader and more widely recognized benchmark for the entire market.
Strictly speaking a Benchmark Index can be a broad based index like nifty 50 or sectoral index like Bank Nifty. Depends on what you are benchmarking
yeah
Let SEBI decide whatever they want. It’ll keep changing as it is. They are so fickle! First they approve so many indices for F&O and now suddenly want to stop them with an excuse that 93% retail traders make loss. So, basically with SEBI’s frequent tinkering the small traders who are profitable now will be removed from the system and the losers will continue to gamble in some way or the other. For me, the contract size change and also removal of weekly expiry on certain indices will be detrimental to my existing profitable systems. Even though I’m consistently profitable (profitable in every quarter), I’ll have to stop option trading which is really unfair.
NSE, please end the suspense soon

lets hope 
The issue here is that both the Nifty50 (N50) and the Bank have nearly equal popularity. I would suggest that the NSE should concentrate on derivative trading to compete with the BSE. The BSE has only one option, but that’s okay - they choose the Sensex for weekly trading. If NSE wants to compete with BSE, they should promote Nifty50. Otherwise, they might lose Nifty50 traders to BSE and the BSE might gain an advantage.
i feel like having BankNifty and Nifty50 expire every Thursday, just like the good old days
some people became greedier and introduced daily expiries, and they even tried to extend trading hours to 24/7. This led to many wrongdoings, and now SEBI has imposed new rules on the greedy practices. Those who will suffer are the genuine retail traders who have put in a lot of effort over the years
Baheti explains that if the NSE chooses to retain the Bank Nifty as a weekly product, the exchange could see a revenue drop of only 15-20% compared to a 35-40% hit If it chooses the Nifty.
“Clearly, the day trading, market making and the weekly of the Bank Nifty are far more lucrative, both for the traders as well as the NSE,” he said.
hope nse doesnt do this stupidity
What stupidity and why stupidity?
