Under T+1 cycle, shares reach your demat account one working day after you buy. Sale money is paid out one working day after you sell. Holidays do not count as working days.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The one-day cycle means that a trade made on day T is settled on the next working day, so the buyer receives the shares and the seller receives the money one working day after the trade. It has been the rule for listed equities in India since 2023, replacing the earlier T+2 cycle. Weekends and exchange holidays are not counted as working days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

T+1 settlement decides when your shares actually reach your demat account and when your money reaches your bank. Many new investors assume both happen instantly, then wonder why a sale made on Friday does not show up until Monday.<\/p>\n

This guide explains the T+1 rolling settlement timeline for buying and selling, why India shortened the cycle, what the optional same-day cycle is, and how settlement affects dividends, margin and withdrawals.<\/p>\n
