THE DIRECT ANSWER

Is a displayed bond price necessarily executable for my quantity?

No. A displayed or indicative valuation can differ from an executable quote for a particular quantity, lot size and settlement basis. Actual sale proceeds depend on available counterparties, price terms and applicable adjustments. A screen value alone does not guarantee a buyer.

Explained on 26 October 2026. This is an educational answer drawn from the dated article below; examples are hypothetical unless a specific source observation is identified.

How it works

The difference matters when money is needed by a deadline. Trading access and trading depth are separate. Ask whether the quote is firm for the intended size, how accrued interest is handled and which charges affect settlement. Do not compare prices on different bases as though they were identical cash offers.

A simple example

A hypothetical screen shows ₹100 per unit, but the executable bid for the full holding is ₹99. The ₹1 gap affects realised proceeds before other adjustments. Longer platform hours do not automatically close that gap.

What to check

Confirm executable size and quote basis.
Check accrued interest and charges.
Use actual settlement terms for a cash plan.
