BTST

Buy Today Sell Tomorrow is selling shares on the next trading day before they settle into demat under T+1.

Brokers may allow BTST using early pay-in or internal risk limits.

BTST is not guaranteed if the broker restricts the stock or the client’s limits.

Corporate actions and settlement holidays can complicate BTST timing.

Failure to receive shares as expected can create short-delivery risk for the seller.
