India’s major stock exchanges will close for the morning session on Diwali Balipratipada (10 Nov 2026) and Guru Nanak Jayanti (24 Nov 2026), while both sessions will be shut on Christmas (25 Dec 2026). On the two festival days the evening session will stay open, allowing limited trading after the morning break. Traders are advised to adjust orders and plan liquidity around these dates. The same source also lists a set of online calculators for personal finance: a loan‑installment estimator, a SIP return predictor, a PPF maturity and interest calculator, an FD maturity tool, an NPS pension‑corpus estimator, and a mutual‑fund future‑value calculator. These tools help investors gauge expected returns and plan savings. The holiday calendar shows that the morning session is closed on the three listed dates, with only the first two keeping the evening session active. Investors should note the full‑day shutdown on Christmas, when no trading will occur at any time. Investors can use the calculators to project loan repayments, SIP growth, PPF balances, FD returns, NPS pension corpus, and mutual‑fund outcomes. ## Context Indian stock markets observe national holidays by halting the morning session, and sometimes keep the evening session running to match global market windows. Full closures, like on Christmas, mean all trading stops for the day.
