Set Settlement For Free

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.

The settlement processing period excludes weekends and holidays. As a result, your stock purchase may take longer to settle due to weekend or holiday interruptions.

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.

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.
