Trading session local time · Asia/Kolkata

Session hours and the settlement cycle are compiled by Finance Foundation from the venue’s own published trading calendar. These are exact and change-prone — an extended session or a moved auction dates a figure like this quickly — so each row below carries what two independently maintained open calendars say about the same venue. Verify against the exchange before relying on any of it operationally. Sources.

Two independently maintained open calendars return the same hours as we hold. Cross-check from exchange_calendars (Apache 2.0) and pandas_market_calendars (MIT); neither endorses this site.

Ownership

Operating entity
BSE LIMITED IN
335800UOTLCPTZQVDA19
Ultimate owner
None above it — BSE LIMITED is the top of its own ownership chain.
GLEIF records no parent for this entity (NO_KNOWN_PERSON), so the operator is itself the top of the tree
Owner listed
BSE on National Stock Exchange of India
Not self-listed: the owner of this venue lists elsewhere.
Who holds it
No promoter and no controlling shareholder — BSE's own annual report shows total promoter holding of 0.00% with the register entirely public, and Indian law requires public holding of at least 51% and caps any single person at 5% (15% for another exchange, a depository, a bank, an insurer or a public financial institution).

Clearing and settlement

These are separate legal entities from the venue operator above, each with its own LEI — a distinction the ISO 10383 registry itself gets wrong for two venues in this dataset, where it records the depository's or the clearing house's code against the exchange. The full layer.

Segment MICs 1 venues under XBOM

MICSegment / venue
BSMEBSE SME

Operating MIC vs segment MIC per ISO 10383: the operating code identifies the exchange, segment codes identify its individual order books, growth markets and derivatives venues. Every code was checked line by line against the official ISO 10383 registry file (SWIFT is the registration authority) — codes that were expired or belonged to a separate operating venue were rejected.
