A Correct answer
Explanation

Trade settlement in India follows a T+1 cycle, meaning settlement occurs on the next business day after the trade. India shifted from T+2 to T+1 settlement in 2021 to align with global market standards and reduce counterparty risk.

AI explanation

As of 2026, the standard trade settlement cycle in India for equities on the NSE and BSE is T+1 (trades settle one business day after the trade date). India fully transitioned all stocks to T+1 by early 2023-2024, and by 2026 an optional T+0 cycle is even available for the top listed stocks. T+2, once the norm, is no longer India's standard settlement cycle.
