When the clearing house, such as NSCCL, is closed for delivery and trade settlement, it's known as a clearing or settlement holiday. This differs from share market holidays, and thus two separate holiday lists are published annually by the exchange. Clearing holidays usually coincide with banking holidays, national days, and religious festivals, and may coincide with trading holidays. Trading remains open (except for currency trading) during clearing holidays, but the clearing house remains closed.
