In response to inputs from market players and to improve liquidity in the F&O segment, the BSE has decided to change the expiry day of all monthly index futures and options from last Thursday of the month to the third-last Thursday of the month. Also, the expiry cycle of all weekly options contracts will be changed from Monday-Friday to Friday-Thursday. This means the expiry will be on Thursday instead of Friday. The new cycle is expected to give a longer life to contracts. BSE is also introducing fortnightly contracts from next month.
