Muhurat trades on 8 Nov settle under T+1: 9 Nov per HDFC Sky, ICICI Direct and Fyers; 11 Nov per Ventura (10 Nov holiday). Fyers CAS square-off 3:07 PM. Confirm with your broker.
Quick Answer
Muhurat trading settlement follows normal T+1 rules: trades on 8 November create settlement obligations, but brokers disagree on the date. HDFC Sky, ICICI Direct and Fyers say 9 November; Ventura says 11 November because of the 10 November holiday. Check your own broker before you sell.
Muhurat trading settlement works like any other day, so every trade made on 8 November 2026 carries a delivery obligation under T+1 settlement. The open question is the date, because brokers differ, and the details of BTST, square-off, pledge and withdrawals also change on this Sunday. This guide sets out the rules and flags where sources disagree.

Muhurat Trading Settlement and T+1 Settlement: 9 November or 11 November?
| Muhurat trading settlement source | What it says | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| HDFC Sky | All Muhurat trades result in settlement obligations; settlement on Monday 9 November | Normal T+1 settlement |
| ICICI Direct | Profit and loss settled at 8:30 AM on 9 November | T+1 settlement funds treatment on 9 November |
| Fyers | Shares bought on 8 November show as BTST holdings on 9 November and sell as regular holdings from 11 November | Sale proceeds usable from 11 November |
| Ventura | T+1 settlement falls on the 10 November holiday, so actual settlement is Wednesday 11 November | Later T+1 settlement delivery |
These statements conflict, so treat the Muhurat trading settlement date as broker-specific, since each broker applies T+1 settlement to the 10 November holiday differently. Monday 9 November is a regular trading day and Tuesday 10 November is a market holiday for Diwali Balipratipada. For timings and history, see our Muhurat trading guide for Samvat 2083. We could not reconcile the two dates from public sources, and your broker’s contract note is the final word on Muhurat trading settlement.
BTST and T+1 Settlement Delivery Rules After the Muhurat Session
| BTST and T+1 settlement delivery item | T+1 settlement rule reported by Fyers |
|---|---|
| Shares bought on 8 November | Appear under BTST holdings on 9 November |
| Sale as regular holdings | Possible from 11 November |
| BTST sale proceeds | Usable from 11 November |
| BTST of 6 November purchases | Needs 25% margin |
| SIP orders for 8 November | Move to 9 November |
BTST means buy today, sell tomorrow, before the shares are credited to your demat account under T+1 settlement. It carries a risk if the seller fails to deliver in the auction, so the margin rules matter. A holder of Nifty 50 stocks should read the broker circular rather than assume the Muhurat trading settlement matches a normal Monday.

Intraday Square-Off Times and Order Windows
| Segment | Fyers auto square-off on 8 November | Order window or note |
|---|---|---|
| CAS stocks | 3:07 PM | Trade till 3:15 PM; closing auction orders 3:20 PM to 3:25 PM |
| Non-CAS stocks | 3:22 PM | Session ends 3:30 PM; closing 3:35 PM to 3:50 PM |
| Equity F&O | 3:27 PM | Runs till 3:40 PM |
| Currency and MCX | 3:22 PM | 2:20 PM to 3:30 PM |
| AMO for equity | Collected till 2:04 PM | Pre-open starts 2:05 PM |
Auto square-off times for Muhurat trading settlement belong to Fyers, and other brokers will set their own, usually earlier than the exchange close. The CAS reference price is the VWAP of trades between 3:00 PM and 3:15 PM, which matters for closing-auction stocks. Intraday positions that miss the broker’s square-off are closed by the broker or converted according to its policy, so read your terms before holding past it.

Costs, Margin and Account Limits on 8 November Under T+1 Settlement
| T+1 settlement item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Charges | Brokerage, STT, GST, exchange charges and stamp duty apply, per HDFC Sky |
| STT on delivery buy | About 0.1%, or roughly Rs 10 on Rs 10,000, per Dealplexus |
| Margin | Normal margin requirements apply to Muhurat trading settlement |
| Pledge and unpledge in Muhurat trading settlement | Not accepted on 8 November, per Fyers |
| Instant withdrawals around Muhurat trading settlement | Unavailable on 8 November and 10 November, per Fyers |
| Liquidity | Lower liquidity can widen spreads and raise Muhurat trading settlement costs |
Because pledge is not accepted on 8 November, collateral margin will not update during the Muhurat session, and with no instant withdrawal on 8 and 10 November, keep spare cash in the account. For a view on the Sensex backdrop, see our live Muhurat guide.
Conclusion
The Muhurat trading settlement rules are simple in principle and messy in practice: T+1 settlement points to 9 November for most brokers, but Ventura and Fyers’ holding rules point to 11 November for usable funds or regular holdings. Confirm the date, the square-off time, the BTST margin and the account limits with your own broker before you place a trade.

Is the market open on Monday 9 November and Tuesday 10 November?
Ans. Monday 9 November is a regular trading day, and Tuesday 10 November is a market holiday for Diwali Balipratipada. This holiday is why some brokers see T+1 settlement slipping to 11 November.
Is it wise to take delivery in the Muhurat session?
Ans. Univest cannot give personal advice. Liquidity is lower and spreads can be wider, so a delivery trade can cost more than usual. Past Muhurat gains do not predict future returns, so consult a SEBI-registered adviser.
