The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has announced a significant change to trading hours in the equity derivatives segment with the introduction of the Closing Auction Session (CAS) framework.Starting August 3, 2026, the normal market closing time for equity derivatives will be extended by 10 minutes to 3:40 pm from the current 3:30 pm. While the extension is noteworthy, the bigger change lies in how closing prices for eligible securities will be determined.The move aims to ensure a smoother transition between the cash and derivatives markets at the end of the trading day while maintaining consistency in the pricing framework across segments.What is the closing auction session?The CAS is a structured trading window held at the end of the trading day. During this period, market participants place buy and sell orders to determine a single closing price for a security through an auction-based mechanism.Unlike the current system where prices evolve through normal trading until market close, the auction process discovers a fair closing price based on orders entered during the designated session.According to the exchange, CAS will initially apply only to securities in the cash segment that have derivative contracts available. The framework will roll out in phases, and any future expansion will be subject to SEBI guidance and separate operational instructions from the exchange.Why are derivatives trading hours being extended?Although CAS applies only to the equity segment, NSE decided to extend trading hours in the derivatives segment to ensure both markets remain aligned during the closing process.The exchange also clarified that the price bands and pre-trade risk control measures introduced as part of CAS in the cash market will be mirrored in the derivatives segment. This is intended to maintain consistency between the two segments during the closing phase of trading.How will the closing auction session work?The CAS will run for 20 minutes, from 3:15 pm to 3:35 pm. The process will begin with a transition phase between 3:15 pm and 3:20 pm, during which the reference price will be calculated using the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of trades executed between 3:00 pm and 3:15 pm.Between 3:20 pm and 3:25 pm, participants will be able to enter both market and limit orders. From 3:25 pm to 3:30 pm, only limit orders will be permitted. During this period, market orders cannot be modified or cancelled.The order entry session will close randomly at any point between 3:28 pm and 3:30 pm, after which the auction process will determine the final closing price.How will closing prices be calculated?One key point highlighted by NSE is that there will be no change in the methodology used to calculate closing prices of derivative contracts. The volume-weighted average price (VWAP) used for derivatives closing price calculation will continue to be based on trades executed during the final 30 minutes of trading. However, because market hours are being extended, that 30-minute window will now shift to 3:10 pm-3:40 pm instead of the current 3:00 pm-3:30 pm.For securities eligible for CAS, the closing price in the cash segment will be determined through the auction process.Ashish Nanda, President and Digital Business Head at Kotak Securities summed up the shift by noting that the market is moving from a "continuous trading close" to an "auction discovered close".Under the current framework, closing prices are derived from the VWAP of trades executed between 3:00 pm and 3:30 pm. Under the new framework, closing prices for F&O-eligible stocks will effectively be linked to a 20-minute auction process running from 3:15 pm to 3:35 pm.What happens if a stock is removed from F&O?NSE clarified that eligibility for CAS is linked to the presence of derivatives on the stock. If a security is excluded from the equity derivatives segment on both exchanges, it will no longer be eligible for the CAS.In such cases, the closing price will revert to the existing methodology and be determined using the VWAP of trades executed during the last 30 minutes of trading. However, if the security continues to be part of the derivatives segment on at least one exchange, it will remain eligible for CAS.What happens to pending orders?The exchange outlined operational changes relating to order management. All unexecuted special orders, including stop-loss orders and disclosed quantity orders, will be cancelled. Pending orders that fall outside the revised price band will also be cancelled automatically, and members will receive appropriate cancellation notifications.Why does this matter for traders?For many market participants, the biggest implication is that the final closing price may no longer mirror the last traded price visible on trading screens at 3:30 pm.According to Ashish Nanda, this could require adjustments to trading strategies, particularly for option writers and arbitrageurs who rely heavily on closing prices for valuation, settlement and hedging decisions.While the derivatives market will remain open until 3:40 pm, the broader shift is not simply about extending trading by 10 minutes. It marks a change in how closing prices for eligible securities are discovered, with the exchange moving toward an auction-based mechanism designed to determine a single closing price at the end of the trading day.What happens to existing market timings?Apart from the revised closing time, most trading schedules remain unchanged. The pre-open session in the derivatives segment will continue to begin at 9:00 am and the normal trading session will continue to start at 9:15 am. Similarly, the trade modification window will remain unchanged and continue until 4:15 pm.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi on Saturday wrote to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Appellate Court of Gilgit-Baltistan, urging immediate judicial intervention to ensure transparency in the upcoming GB elections amid what he described as an “alarming” deterioration in the electoral environment. The move came amid a series of reported incidents involving PTI leaders during the ongoing election campaign in the mountainous region. PTI senior leader Asad Qaiser on Saturday claimed he was prevented from reaching Islamabad airport, resulting in him missing his flight to Skardu in connection with the election campaign. The incident followed the expulsion of PTI MNA Junaid Akbar and his team from GB a day earlier, while they were campaigning for the upcoming elections scheduled for June 7. In the letter, the chief minister said reports emerging from GB regarding the electoral process were “extremely concerning”. CM alleged that one political party was being subjected to undue obstacles in carrying out routine electoral activities, including public gatherings, campaigning, and the movement of its leadership and workers. He further stated that reports of political workers being harassed, unlawfully detained, and prevented from engaging in political activity were “deeply troubling”, warning that if such practices continued unchecked, they could “severely undermine the credibility and transparency of the electoral process.” Emphasising constitutional guarantees, the chief minister noted that Pakistan’s Constitution guarantees every political party and citizen the fundamental right to participate in free, fair, transparent and impartial elections. He added that any deviation from these principles would not only constitute a violation of the Constitution but would also run contrary to democratic norms. The letter also called for clear directions to the relevant authorities to ensure free and fair elections in GB, an immediate end to the alleged harassment and unlawful restrictions on political workers, and the restoration of equal political space for all parties to conduct campaign activities without discrimination. It further urged swift and effective action against any violations of constitutional and democratic rights during the electoral process, stressing the need to uphold the rule of law and protect electoral integrity. The chief minister appealed to the court to exercise its constitutional mandate to safeguard democratic principles and restore public confidence in the electoral process. CM Afridi expressed hope that timely judicial intervention would ensure credible, transparent, and peaceful elections in the region. The date for local government elections in Gilgit-Baltistan has been set for June 14. According to an official notification, the election programme earlier issued for the general elections to the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly was withdrawn on December 18, 2025.

India's Social Stock Exchange (SSE) is set to receive a fresh boost after the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) permitted companies to route a part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) expenditure through the platform. The change is expected to widen funding avenues for non-profit organisations and strengthen transparency and accountability in the social impact ecosystem.The MCA has amended Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013, to recognise investments in certain Social Stock Exchange instruments as an eligible CSR activity. As per a Gazette Notification issued on May 27, 2026, "subscription to zero coupon zero principal instruments on Social Stock Exchange" has now been added to the list of approved CSR activities.The amendment allows companies to allocate up to 10% of their total annual CSR budget towards not-for-profit organisations (NPOs) registered on the Social Stock Exchange through Zero Coupon Zero Principal (ZCZP) instruments.The Social Stock Exchange serves as a dedicated platform that connects social enterprises and NPOs with donors, investors and other funding sources. Unlike conventional stock exchanges, where investments are made with the expectation of financial returns, the SSE is designed to facilitate measurable social impact.According to the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the latest policy change could help scale up social financing in India by providing corporates with a regulated and disclosure-based channel to support impact-focused organisations. The exchange said the framework is expected to enhance transparency, credibility and the overall reach of funding within the social sector.The idea of a Social Stock Exchange was first outlined by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman during the 2019 Budget, with the aim of bringing capital markets closer to the masses while advancing inclusive growth and financial inclusion.With the amendment now in place, companies can incorporate SSE-based contributions into their CSR programmes through a structured and regulated mechanism. NSE said the move is likely to improve funding access for verified NPOs, strengthen governance and disclosure standards, encourage outcome-oriented philanthropy and foster greater trust and accountability across the social impact landscape.Sriram Krishnan, Chief Business Development Officer at NSE, described the amendment as a significant development for India's social sector. He said the provision would enable corporates to channel CSR funds through a transparent, regulated and impact-driven platform, helping improve trust, accountability and access to capital for social enterprises.The MCA notification has come into effect immediately upon its publication in the Official Gazette.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

• Observes right to travel abroad protected under Constitution • Justice Kamran notes immigration powers must be exercised fairly and transparently LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) has declared unlawful the off-loading of a passenger from a Nigeria-bound flight at Sialkot International Airport, ruling that immigration authorities cannot curtail a citizen’s right to travel abroad on the basis of vague suspicions or unsubstantiated reasons. Justice Raheel Kamran passed the judgement on a petition filed by Muhammad Abbas, who challenged his off-loading by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Jan 31, 2026, despite possessing a valid passport, a Nigerian visit visa, a return ticket and other travel documents. According to the petition, Mr Abbas had completed airline and immigration formalities and his passport had been stamped for exit, but he was later stopped by the FIA shift in-charge at the airport on the apprehension that he might abscond in Dubai and not return to Pakistan. The petitioner, through his counsel, argued that there was no criminal case, inquiry, blacklisting order, Exit Control List (ECL) restriction or Passport Control List (PCL) entry against him. He maintained that he intended to visit his brother-in-law residing in Nigeria and that the FIA’s action caused him financial loss, humiliation and mental agony. The federal government defended the action, contending that the petitioner neither possessed sufficient funds nor satisfactorily explained the purpose of his visit. An assistant attorney general argued that immigration authorities were empowered to scrutinise passengers to prevent illegal migration and visa abuse. However, Justice Kamran held that although immigration officials have the authority to off-load passengers in appropriate cases, such powers must be exercised fairly, transparently and on the basis of objective material. The judge observed that the reasons recorded in the off-loading proforma were vague and conclusory, lacking details about the petitioner’s financial position, the minimum monetary requirement for travel or any discrepancies in his explanation regarding the visit. “No law, notification, policy guideline, advisory or standard operating procedure has been produced before this court prescribing any fixed monetary requirement for a Pakistani citizen travelling to Nigeria on a visit visa,” Justice Kamran observed, adding that in the absence of such disclosed criteria, the expression “insufficient funds” becomes entirely subjective and incapable of objective judicial scrutiny. The judge ruled that the right to travel abroad forms part of the constitutional guarantees under Articles 4, 9, 10-A and 15 of the Constitution, and any restriction on that right must satisfy standards of legality, fairness and proportionality. Allowing the petition, the judge declared the off-loading unlawful and held that it could not operate as a continuing restraint on the petitioner’s future travel, subject to lawful immigration scrutiny. The judge also issued guidelines to FIA officials to record meaningful reasons, supported by particulars, while off-loading passengers and to provide a copy of the order to the affected travellers. The judge maintained that the requirement of recording reasons cannot be treated as a mere procedural ritual or empty formality. He said reasons constitute the live and intelligible link between the material considered by the authority and the conclusion ultimately reached. “They demonstrate application of mind, restrain arbitrary exercise of power, enable the affected person to understand the basis of adverse action and facilitate meaningful judicial review,” the judge added. He said it is a settled principle of administrative law that discretionary powers vested in public authorities are held in trust and must be exercised within the bounds of legality, fairness and rationality.

• Chinese workers, engineers to get enhanced security • Force to guard dams, plants, project sites • Bill sent to parliament for approval • Move follows attacks on Dasu hydel workers ISLAMABAD: The government has decided to create a new “Wapda Security Force” to provide dedicated security to major water sector infrastructure projects across the country and associated workers, particularly those from China. The force is being created through the Wapda Security Force Act, 2026, which has already been forwarded to parliament. “The Wapda Security Force is being constituted to ensure the protection and security of critical infrastructure managed by the Water and Power Development Authority,” reads the statement of objects and reasons. The decision to create a standalone force follows two terrorist attacks on engineers and workers of the over $6 billion Dasu Hydropower Project in November 2021 and March 2024, in which several Chinese and Pakistani workers were killed. Initially, CPEC-related security was extended to the Dasu project. An official explained that two special security divisions of the Pakistan Army (North and South) provided security to CPEC projects in Balochistan and along the route up to Gilgit-Baltistan, but Wapda projects did not fall under the CPEC security arrangement. He said a special arrangement was therefore needed, adding that Wapda’s entire security system was being revamped. The official recalled that an attack on Dasu project staff and the resultant loss of lives led to the suspension of the project by the Chinese side for well over a year. Work later resumed after top-level government engagement and payment of compensation, despite cost escalations and delays. A CPEC-like security arrangement was later extended to other projects involving Chinese workers through a major outer security cover provided by the Pakistan Army, in addition to Wapda’s internal security, local police and Rangers or Frontier Constabulary in other provinces. Following consultations with the Chinese side, the prime minister directed that CPEC-level security cover should be available to all projects, particularly those involving Chinese nationals and generally to other water sector projects of national importance. The Wapda Security Force, to be led by a director general, most likely from the armed forces, will be responsible for the security of critical infrastructure, including dams and power plants essential for the country’s economic stability and security. The new force, with its own uniform, insignia and stamp, will operate in notified areas across the country with specific responsibility for the security of water projects. For example, it will provide security to the K-4 Greater Water Supply Scheme in Sindh in addition to Rangers and local police, and work alongside FC forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. The force will ensure the safety and security of installations, dams, powerhouses, machinery, equipment, offices, personnel and residences of personnel and prevent offences related to them. The superintendence of the Wapda Security Force will vest in the federal government, while its control will remain with Wapda. The force will ensure adequate security arrangements in notified areas and provide protection to Wapda personnel and persons working on Wapda projects, including while travelling to and from notified areas, through coordination with law enforcement and intelligence agencies. It will also coordinate with and assist other law enforcement and intelligence agencies, if ordered by the government, in protecting notified areas from encroachment and trespassing after notification in the official gazette. The strength of the force will depend on security requirements from time to time. The staff and officers of the force will be governed under the Essential Services Act and will not be allowed to engage in any other employment while serving in the force. The draft law also states that the Industrial Relations Act, 2012, and the Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968, will not apply to any officer or staff member of the Wapda Security Force. To provide legal indemnity, the draft law says no suit, prosecution or other proceedings will lie against the government, Wapda, the director general, any officer or staff member of the force, or any other person exercising powers or performing functions under the law in good faith. “In particular and without prejudice to the generality of the provisions of the act, an officer or staff of the force shall not be subject to any criminal or civil liability for actions taken in exercise of powers and functions under this Wapda Security Force Act,” it says.
