What is Post-Market and can I place an order during Post-Market?
The post-market session offers a short trading window after the regular market hours. While it's limited in scope, FYERS allows you to place specific types of orders during this period. Here's how it works.
What is the Post-Market session?
The post-market session runs from 3:40 PM to 4:00 PM on trading days for both the NSE and BSE. It allows investors to place delivery-based equity orders after the regular market closes at 3:30 PM.
What type of orders can I place?
Allowed:
- Delivery-based orders in the Equity segment only
Not allowed:
- Intraday, Bracket Orders (BO), Cover Orders (CO), and Schedule Orders
- Orders in Equity F&O, Currency F&O, and Commodity F&O segments
Only delivery orders placed in the equity segment will be accepted in the post-market session.
How to place an order during Post-Market
You can place a delivery order the same way as during regular hours:
- Open the scrip in FYERS Web or Mobile.
- Select “Delivery” as the order type.
- Place the order between 3:40 PM and 4:00 PM.
Note: The exchange processes these orders at the closing price or based on available liquidity, so execution is not guaranteed.
What If...
| Scenario | Explanation |
|---|
| I place an F&O or intraday order after 3:40 PM | The order will be rejected as the respective market segment is closed. |
| My post-market order isn’t executed | It will be automatically cancelled after 4:00 PM if not matched. |
| I want to modify or cancel the order | You can do so before 4:00 PM, as long as the order is still pending. |
