Order validity refers to the duration for which an order remains active in the exchange’s order book if it is not immediately filled. On Kite, Zerodha’s trading platform, every order carries one of two validity types: DAY or IOC (Immediate or Cancel). The validity type is selected at the time of order placement in the order form. Understanding the difference between these two types is essential for controlling execution outcomes, particularly for limit orders and conditional orders.
