Back to pre-pandemic timings–

Reserve Bank of India(RBI) on Wednesday, 7th December, announced that the market trading hours will be changed back to 9am-5pm, like it was in the pre-pandemic period.

Due to the rising cases of Covid-19 and increasing death rate, the RBI on April 2020 decided to change the trading hours from 9am-5pm to 9am-3:30pm, keeping in mind the declining health of the citizens.

Now since the country is going back to its normal environment, the RBI decided that the call/notice/term money, the commercial paper market and certificates of deposit, the rupee interest rate derivatives, the repo in corporate bonds, all will close at 5pm. This will come into effect from 12th of December 2022.
