How to read this page
"Change on the day" is the Nifty 50's close against the previous close, as published by NSE. "Next session" and "Next 5 sessions" compare the close on the event day with the close one and five trading sessions later.
The Budget has been presented on weekends too, when the exchanges opened for a special session, and the Muhurat session is a single evening hour. The Samvat years on the Samvat page run from one Muhurat session to the next.
Limits to keep in mind
