What is Trading holiday?

A trading holiday is a day when stock exchanges like NSE (National Stock Exchange) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) are closed, and no trading activity takes place. On such days, no buying or selling of stocks or other securities can take place. These holidays are declared based on SEBI regulations and typically coincide with national or regional public holidays.
