• A. T+5
• B. T+3
• C. T+1
• D. T+2

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The settlement cycle in the NSE refers to the time period within which the exchange will settle the trades, meaning the buyer will receive the securities and the seller will receive the money. The settlement cycle commonly used in the NSE (National Stock Exchange of India) operates on a T+2 basis. This indicates that the settlement of trades takes place two business days after the trade date (T). 

Options	Explanation
T+5	Trade settles five business days after the transaction.
T+3	Trade settles three business days after the transaction.
T+1	Trade settles one business day after the transaction.
T+2	Trade settles two business days after the transaction, which is the correct cycle for NSE.

Answer 2

In the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the settlement cycle follows a T+2 basis, meaning that the settlement occurs on the second business day after the trade is executed. This system helps ensure faster clearing and settlement of securities transactions, improving liquidity and reducing settlement risks.
