Integrate Time Settlement For Free

The settlement date is the date on which the investor becomes a shareholder of record. Weekends and public holidays are not included in the day count.

T+1 settlement cycle means any trade-related settlements must be completed within one day from the day of the transaction. For instance, if you have brought a share on Tuesday, it will be credited to your Demat account by Wednesday.

This settlement cycle is known as "T+2," shorthand for "trade date plus two days." T+2 means that when you buy a security, your payment must be received by your brokerage firm no later than two business days after the trade is executed.

A settlement period is a duration in which the securities are handed over to the new owner, and the transaction is fully completed. In the security market, a settlement period is a duration between the trade date, week, month, and year when the trade is performed and the settlement date when the trade is final.

Investors must settle their security transactions in three business days. This settlement cycle is known as "T+3" ? shorthand for "trade date plus three days." This rule means that when you buy securities, the brokerage firm must receive your payment no later than three business days after the trade is executed.

For most stock trades, settlement occurs two business days after the day the order executes, or T+2 (trade date plus two days). For example, if you were to execute an order on Monday, it would typically settle on Wednesday.

The rationale for the delayed settlement is to give time for the seller to get documents to the settlement and for the purchaser to clear the funds required for settlement. T+2 is the standard settlement period for normal trades on a stock exchange, and any other conditions need to be handled on an "off-market" basis.
