An investor buys 200 shares at Rs 150 each under the rolling settlement on a Monday (T day). Under the standard T+1 rolling settlement cycle for equity shares, when is the settlement of this trade due, assuming no holidays?

Under T+1 rolling settlement, a trade done on Monday settles on the next business day, Tuesday, if there are no holidays. Wednesday would correspond to the older T+2 cycle, and same-day settlement would be T+0, which is not the standard cycle.
