Banknifty Lot Size
As per the notification issued by National Stock Exchange India Ltd, Bank Nifty Lot Size for Bank Nifty futures & Bank Nifty Options Contract has been revised to 25 units.
I am surprised that the data presented here is very different from what I see in the NSE website for NSE BANK NIFTY FACT SHEET. The weightages as per the fact sheet seem to be updated on SEPTEMBER 30th 2020. Your data is as of OCTOBER 1st. But confused why they are different. Does the weightages change every day ?
Just confused. Hope someone can clarify why would weightages of bank nifty change on monthly or daily basis when it is supposed to be rebalanced once in 6 months? I observed different weightages updated in fact sheet for August, september and october months. can some one help me understand why will it change that frequently ?
I need this info badly. thanks for responding.
Hi Onlydravid,
The data here is the same as on nse website. This data belongs to the closing prices of Sep 2020 as already mentioned in the article. Oct 1 is the date when it has been updated on the this site.
Weightage of each stock changes every day as price changes of every stock, but on nse website and even on our website weightage is updated at the end of the month.
You are right that re-balancing is done once in 6 months because nse reviews the structure of Nifty and bank nifty, as no single stock can have more than 15% share in Nifty 50 and 33% share in Bank Nifty and not more than 62% of top three shares in bank nifty.
In between 6 months, these weightage can increase from the prescribed limits.
Hope this would clarify you.
